Best Fun Restaurants in Near North

It was my first time at Quartino, and I'll for sure come back! Food was delicious and our server (Nicole) was great!! 5-star service!!

Tasty and beautiful cocktails that are worth their pricepoint. Wish there were more small bites options. Came when opened and was only 1 other table, but took a while for the server to come over to put down coasters, then come back later to give water, then come back to take a cocktail order. Would've preferred to get an order in sooner.

Great experience! We went for dinner for our daughter's 13th birthday. We were seated on time. Table was great. We were given a booth since I indicated the occasion. We were 5 people. Appetizers were good. We got the stuffed mushrooms and the grilled calamari. All entrees were delicious: eggplant parmesan, lasagna, rigatoni ala vodka, pappardele and chicken vesuvio. Food came on time. We were given a complementary dessert- ice cream with a candle for my daughter. We highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

When one of my friends from Chicago found out I was coming to visit, she sent a list of restaurants. Tanta was top of her list. I was honestly a bit surprised to hear her favorite restaurant in Chicago is a Peruvian place (growing up with chain Peruvian) but after going to Tanta twice I see why it is her favorite. Perfect balance of flavors with a modern and inspired approach. The Lomo Saltado puts all others to shame.

My family (6 kids and hubby) come every year over the holidays and JoJo’s has become our family tradition! From 6 to 15, my kids love this place and so do my husband and I. Thanks for making our annual celebration memorable, JoJo’s!
