decarli

pretentious, boring and overpriced. we went there last night. the food was very boring. my pasta pieces were stuck together, i bet that a 9-year old can manage to do better cooking orecchiette. my entree with shrimp and chorizo was greasy and one-dimensional. the attitude of theirstaffis very pretentious, give me a break this is beaverton for crying out loud, what is the pretention about! my partner ordered the penne and asked the waiter to omit the ricotta and use a tomato based sauce instead of the cream but leaving the rest of the ingredients as is. what she got was a bowl of penne topped with marinara, that is no other ingredients. the price for penne topped with marinara was $17, do they think they are in downtown nyc?
bottom line, won't go there again.

beaverton's finest.
a staple in great dining since it opened, this review is long overdue. fortunately, the restaurant doesn't need any help as there is always a well deserved line. with a fantastic happy hour you can roll into dinner, and then spend the last part of the evening in their fine wine bar.

it's a true farm-to-table, in the restaurant knows how to put a good meal together. there are always the staples: an amazing espresso roasted short ribs, a delicious chitarra, and a rolling handmade pasta dish (that is usually to die for).

you can do a traditional steak or an oven roasted chicken, or a braised pork shoulder – and never go wrong. there really is something for everyone. on the lighter fare, there are several because that does that are great for an appetizer or a meal.

it's not uncommon to have the decarli's roaming the floor, and checking on some of the new menu items. i remember a fantastic table so i discussion on a squid ink pasta that had just rolled out, and here was the chef checking and trying to refine the recipe.

the food is supported well with a solid staff. the waitstaffis knowledgeable and are. long-term employees, the barstaffknows how to pair both wine and drinks, and makes some of their own fine cocktails. definitely worth trying.

decarli is making sure that beaverton is not overshadowed by its larger portland cousin in the dining section.

primarily, thestaffand management are indifferent, the prices high, and portions rediculously tiny. our meals took an hour to be served and only after a member of our group directly asked. the ravioli consisted of about five very small pieces. we were told by the "chef" that the remaining ravioli was split between three of our party as they were "running out". our meals were taken off our bill but no apology was offered. we left never to come back. i strongly advise that you not eat there unless you crave the kind of experience that i have described.

passion you can taste. its really interesting, the barstaffis really friendly...the restaurant wait/host staff....a little less friendly. most importantly though, you can taste the appreciation for food, in the food. its very tasty. its very quality. will go again and again.

it is super delicious and thestaffwas really friendly.
