Description: decarli restaurant is where rustic meets modern. Chef/owner, Paul DeCarli, pulls from his Swiss-Italian roots to create a menu that reflects his heritage as well as combine local Northwest ingredients. Polenta fries with gorgonzola butter, mussels in fennel-saffron cream sauce, and espresso-braised shortribs are just a few of the many "must-haves.” Soaring open beam ceilings with rustic brick walls add to the ambiance of this 1924 historic building.

Very good food and service. Be aware this is a very busy bar and restaurant in basically one room. The noise levels are extremely high. Not for a romantic dinner!

The food is excellent, and the price is fair for the quality of the experience. My wife had the beet salad, and loved it, including the touch of thinly sliced fennel. She followed it up with the milk-braised pork tagliatelle. With it's full taste, and a touch of spice, it was the best we've had. I loved the braised short... More

The food is incredibly good. We had a great time and enjoyed every bite. There were lots of tempting options on the menu and we tried several. I'd come again in a heartbeat. Even though we went mid-week, the place was very full and hence a bit noisy. The service was top notch but a bit slow because of the... More

My husband and I are new to the Portland Metro area so we're always looking to try new restaurants. We selected decarli after reviewing its Zagat ratings and other diner reviews/recommendations. Lets just say, EVERYONE was right. This place is great! The mellow ambience is very welcoming. It's recessed lighting, exposed brick walls and even the chandeliers add to the... More

Not that there's much competition, but you will get a very nice meal in a nice setting, with good service here. I definitely recommend the beef shortribs, which I was told is the house specialty. I was impressed - delicious. A little pricey, but doesn't keep people away, and doesn't keep us away from going on a somewhat special occasion.... More

We want to try this place again. The short ribs were excellent, although not a 'big dish' of food and the steelhead was cooked perfectly. For a midweek night, the place was almost full. This was great to see. We didn't have a reservation, but we were seated right away. But, next time, we will get a reservation to be... More

Friday night is date night at our house, so I checked tripadvisor for top rated restaurants in Beaverton and DeCarli was rated #2 out of a great many restaurants, so we made a reservation for early evening. This restaurant has a certain charm, it appears to be an older building with exposed brick walls and very high ceilings and wooden... More

The menu here has an italian influence but is somewhat unique. The short ribs are fantastic. It can get noisy when crowded but generally is pretty manageable. Wines are reasonably priced.

My son took me to Decarli restaurant some months ago and I had the squid ink pasta what was out of this world. I also tasted both my son's and daughter in law meals and they to were equally delicious. Can't wait to return to this place and try some other dishes. You do have to make reservations since they...
