Atmosphere was nice. Service was very slow. I ordered a cocktail called "Hot and Spicy", and although I love a spicy cocktail, this was a little overboard. Hard to enjoy the cocktail itself and the food. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was around $27. It was extremely underwhelming, very mediocre. For this price I would have expected excellent quality.
I have been here for dinner several times. It can be a bit confusing as the building/door is under the banner of Alba steakhouse and the Zef Cicchetti part is all faded like it doesn't exist anymore. Fear not! Its all one and the same. You have to go to the door on the corner to get into the establishment, including the rooftop dining. The rooftop is very nice, with a full bar and tv, that is perfect for warm days. The restaurant is basically broken into three sections. The upstairs rooftop deck, and then the three dining areas downstairs. One is mainly booths and seems more upscale dining. Then there is a bar/dining area and then a smaller table section beyond that. I have eaten at each of these except the downstairs bar. Each time, the servers have been attentive without rushing. The food was always DELICIOUS. If you are a big seafood lover like I am, you can order crab cakes and raw oysters for an appetizer. These were the best raw oysters I've ever had in my life. For entrees we got the Diavolo linguine and the grilled octopus. Both were very tasty. We also got an order of truffle fries with turned out to be addictive and I have ordered every time I have returned to this place since! It all paired nicely with a Chianti red wine. Suitable for solo, friends, families and dates. More upscale and pricey but well worth it in the food! Parking can be a bit of a run around on this busy restaurant street, so you may need to drive up and around the side streets to find parking. There is a small free parking lot on the corner of Hancock and Walter J. Hannon that may have spots.
One of the best places to enjoy three environments at once. You can either have cocktails and appetizers at the terrace during the summer time, watch a game at the ample bar downstairs or have a formal dinner for a date or with family at their well decorated dinner tables. Their selection for seafood and comfort dishes makes this eclectic restaurant an excellent choice in downtown Quincy.
