I've been here for dinner twice and had a great experience both times. I didn't go to its former establishment, Riazzi's because I was put off by the eye sore patio. It looked unkempt from the outside which made me believe the inside wasn't much better. I'm happy to report it's been cleaned up and looks inviting now that it's Quartiere; check out my patio pics. The warm and welcoming feel of the patio with large family style tables carried right on through to the inside. The restaurant area is spacious making it the perfect place to gather for family & friends dinners. The bar is on the other side and offers a different dinning experience that's ideal for smaller parties or any singletons who don't mind dinning alone. The restaurant has a clean and minimalistic decor with little details here and there that add life, like the awesome mural behind the bar and funny sign next to the men's room.
Ok that's just the vibe of the place, now the food. I've had the seafood linguini and the selection of seafood was fresh and not over cooked which tends to happen with at least one of the shellfish on seafood plates. The pasta is made in house and it was absolutely delicious, I could eat it alone. The other item I've tried is the short rib ravioli which is a family favorite! Again, the pasta is on point and then you bite into these savory pockets of meat topped with a creamy sauce, yum! The table bread and butter is reason alone to come here.
I saw a couple of reviews complaining about the service and my experiences have been A+. Very friendly owners, I love that they are always present and greeting tables which shows how much they care. I can't image any customer bringing a complaint to their attention that they didn't try to rectify immediately.
I wish I lived in the area because I crave this place on the regular. Drop what you're doing and go there, you won't be sorry.
PS they carry that Chianti that comes in a basket. I dunno what it's called but it's the first table wine my folks let me have and I still love the stuff!
