I had a mixed experience at Quartiere. The staff were friendly and mostly attentive but the food…read morewas hit or miss. We started with some mocktails that were very good and the apple & pear salad that was also good. Our waitress also brought us some complimentary bread and herb butter. All good. But when my entree came it was so disappointing. I ordered the hanger steak cook medium. It was cooked to temp but had to be the chewiest steak Ive ever had. The steak knife wouldnt even cut through it. The knife basically ripped the steak apart. It also came with the largest broccolini I have ever seen. It was basically broccoli but ultimately was under cooked for how large the stalks were. I did try the desserts but they looked good.

Food: Altamura Pizza…read more($20): A nice mix of meat and veggie toppings including sausage, meatballs, mushrooms, peppers, pepperoni, and onions; otherwise a fairly standard quality pizza; decent value Squid Ink Fettuccine ($26): Classic seafood pasta dish done well with shrimp, calamari, mussels, and of course fettuccine; maybe could have been a bit more flavorful but still standard quality Ambiance: The most special part of this restaurant is that the interior is decorated like a real restaurant in Italy, with brick walls and tons of interesting little decorative pieces here and there. The space is not all that big, but is cozy (also helps that the front opens up toward the outdoor seating area). Service: The staff are pretty friendly and the service speed is decent. There was a guy with a shirt saying "Big Mike" who seemed to constantly be monitoring the place which was a bit odd but I suppose he was just the boss keeping tabs on his restaurant. Overall: Average quality food but nice Italian-inspired environment. Would recommend if you are in the Stamford area and interested in Italian food.

I stayed at the Hampton Inn for business and went down to Villa Italia for a quick bite at dinner…read more I got the roasted beet, goat cheese and arugula salad, and an appetizer of Nonna's meatballs. The salad had two types of beets and a smattering of arugula. I was disappointed that there was not more goat cheese as it amounted to a sprinkle over the top, which was not nearly enough. The meatballs were small, but tender with good flavor and a simple tomato sauce. The best part of this meal was the assorted bread that was warm and delicious. This is a convenient spot to eat if you're staying at the hotel.

The tortellini alfredo was a 10/10. Silky, creamy, and rich without feeling heavy The penne alla vodka pasta was cooked perfectly.

Short rib mac and cheese was the perfect meal for my friend who has never had any mac and cheese that wasn't from a Kraft box before today and he said it was the best thing ever.

Calamari fritti, meatball, veal Milanese, clams and linguine, short rib...I thought everything was delicious. They even offer free bread with olive oil...nowadays restaurants charge for bread. This spot is good for groups and the staff are lovely. One large tv was showing football which made a few dads get riled up. If you need a quick bite and no conversation this is the spot to go. Things to note: the veal milaneses were tough, if you order you should ask for a steak knife. Also the risotto was overdone and the rice grains broke creating a gluey consistency. Not dealbreakers, still tasty.

We had a very lovely date night here last night…read more They have a cute outdoor patio with turf and various plants and lights. Really pretty. We decided we wanted to sit there but it was full so went to hang at the bar while we waited for a table. Bar had good cocktails, a little too sweet for my taste, and cool vibe. We had the blood orange mojito, aperol spritz, and purple haze. Last one was my favorite. Then we got seated outside. The food was delicious. We had bread and olive oil to start, the corn salad with brussel sprout shavings. I wish there was a little more dressing but my husband said the amount was perfect. Next was the smash burger with truffle fries. So Yum! And the pizza, San Danielle, was a perfect combo of sweet, salty, crispy, soft with red wine to accompany it. It was a beautiful night with a full bright moon. Wow! I know what I want next time: arancini, curried mussels, verde pizza, boneless short rib.
