What People Are Saying About decarli

The Owner

decarli

Owner

decarli is an Italian-inspired restaurant newly opened by husband and wife team, Paul and Jana DeCarli. With a menu that changes weekly decarli is able to feature fresh seasonal ingredients from the Northwest, created in an open kitchen that captures your attention when you walk in the door.

A simple design plan showcases the natural elements of the 1924 building-exposed brick, original fir floors, and soaring open beam ceilings all accented by drop filament bulbs and candlelit tables. The "must-sees" are an enormous brass chandelier that hangs over the family table and the innovative countertop at the bar.

decarli is Beaverton's own piece of the Pearl, great for special occasions, yet comfortable enough for casual dining.

The food at this place was very good. In fact, I'm looking forward it to go back(for the food). We had just about everything on the menu, save desert, and all of it was done well. The few exceptions would be that the strip steak was on the small side, and overcooked. We had it medium rare, and it was just a touch pink, what i would consider medium well. Also, the penne pasta was very salty. It had very salty prosciutto and large pieces of rock salt in it. But other than that, the rest was excellent. The tagliatelle pasta was far better than what I've had at Genoa. The oysters were very fresh, mussels were great. Bruscetta was very inventive and well done. Everything went great until we got the check. We were 4 adults, a 1 year old and a 1 month old at our table. When we got the bill, they ADDED 18% gratuity! The menu does say they add gratuity for parties of 6 or more, but come on! My 1 year old ate about 5 bites of pasta, and the 1 month old slept the entire time. The thing of it is, I ALWAYS tip 20% unless I get horrible service, but to add gratuity onto the table was just in bad taste in my opinion. So, if my server reads this, know that you shorted yourself by trying to nickle and dime your guests. O yea, and I also ALWAYS clean up after my 1year old, but since you grat'd my table, I let you have the honors this time.

I decided to review after I had a VERY disappointing first visit to Decarli, we tried one more time. I have learned my lesson about sitting in the bar area now. Don't do it. We had the same bartender both times and he seems overwhelmed just bringing drinks (waited 10 mins after ordering them). What?! You make the damn drinks, your bar customers should have the speediest drinks in the place! The food both times has taken a VERY long time, including the apps, (first time one HOUR!!) this time oysters on the half shell (very nice presentation when they came, very fresh and tasty). I mean we wait to the point where we are asking other servers if we got forgotten. I think maybe again, its that bartender. When he approached us and realized that over 30 mins had gone by with no app, he went to the computer, CLEARLY to check if he had even ordered it! (yes I work in the industry, I know what was up). The food came seconds after the app, but the meal was VERY good. Like VERY VERY good. But as most people know, AMAZING food with poor to terrible service means we were left feeling "meh". Also the drinks, twice now I have tried 2-3 different cocktails, as I love my foo-foo drinks. At pearl prices, $8.50+, this cocktail list has a couple of stars and a lot of "sounds good on the list" but then tastes like there's a bartender who can't execute the building of the drink. I'm sure he's very nice, but he cannot handle waiting the tables, making the drinks and delivery. The bartender should be the rockstar in the whole place. Decarli if you are going to truly shine, you need to lose, or retrain this guy. Or let him handle the bar only, give the tables to a server. I will sit in the restaurant next time and maybe edit my review if needed. Until then, spend your (no small amount!) money in the pearl, only 20 mins east!

By now it's clear that I'm not the only one that finds the restaurant selection in the Beaverton area quite limiting. So when it comes to brunch, until now, my choices were to go downtown or have my husband cook. Decarli has filled the void! Not only is it convenient, but once inside I am treated to a great atmosphere, great service, and one of the best brunches the greater Portland area has to offer. Where to start... sweet risotto. If you've had this before - 'nuf said. If not, order one for the table next time you''re in and be prepared for a wonderful treat. Another one for the table and not to be missed is the potato + bacon croquettes w/ spiced maple syrup. O-M-G! Other favorites include the breakfast pizza (who knew?) and the fried egg sandwich. For the less adventurous, the buttermilk waffle will not disappoint. Top it off with a specialty Mimosa or Bloody Mary, and you'll want to start ALL of your Sundays at Decarli.
