The low light ambiance and music was definitely giving adults-only vibes. What I really liked was being able to talk and hear because the volume level of the music was just right. Our waiter was attentive and would check-in on us from time to time, ensuring our experience was the best. He had quite a friendly and genuine demeanor about him (sorry, I don't remember his name but he wore glasses and had dark hair). The margarita pizza, wine, and desserts (didn't have lava cake so I tried their chocolate mousse) were delightful to indulge. We also received a complimentary drink of choice on the house just because! I will definitely be coming back again and hope to bring other colleagues along for the Quartiere experience.

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.

This is a family owned business and you can tell by their service. The love for their customers and the pride in the food. It's a casual home feel with lots of locals that you can tell are repeat customers. Downside , weekend reservations are not available. First come first serve. So wait times can be very long. Advice - prob visit during the week when they first open. This will be a repeat for me !!!

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.

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.

It's clear this is a family-operated business that really cares about the experience they provide. We're so lucky to have a place like this in the North Stamford area. Highly recommend for both special events and a great steak dinner!

We got there and sat down immediately. Service was nothing special, but the waiter was pleasant. I ordered the lunch special smash burger, which was very tasty. I also ordered the calamari, which was slightly salty but had great flavor. The pizza was very good as well, but when it came to the dessert (cheesecake and chocolate gelato), they weren't that good and left a bad aftertaste. We asked our waiter if it could be taken off the menu, so he went to get the manager. The manager came to the table and explained why we should like the desserts and that no one complains since the chefs are from Brooklyn and the cheesecake is made in-house. He was very reluctant to take these items off the menu. Everyone has different palates, so why are you talking as if I'm supposed to like it since everyone else does? This didn't sit well with me, and the vibe was off from there. We liked the food, but it wasn't worth the hype around it. Our waiter was still pleasant through it all.
