Editorial Review for The Red Plate – by Michelle Peters
The Scene
This pizzeria buzzes with as much energy as the neon sign over the door. A fun collection of license plates hangs on the otherwise unadorned exposed-brick walls. For lunch, dinner or late-night lounging, there's rarely an empty seat in the house, so make a reservation.
The Food
Those seeking straightforward, Italian-American fare with plenty of flavor and zero pretension will be pleased with the menu. Begin with bruschetta, lightly toasted and sprinkled with chopped tomatoes and sweet mozzarella. Pizza lovers savor the Lighthouse pie festooned with succulent white clams, garlic and olive oil. Old-fashioned spaghetti and meatballs, a bountiful bowl of perfectly seasoned beef tangled in pasta, comes drenched in tangy marinara. Chocolate lovers devour the molten chocolate torte served with a scoop of ice cream and drizzled with warm caramel.

User Reviews for The Red Plate

We had the pastas - they were over priced and very poorly made. The sauce was watery and tasteless - it more closely resembled soup then pasta. As well the chicken was poorly cooked and was extremly dry. Overall, it was not a very pleasent experience - I would recommend opting for another Hartford spot.
Pros: Location - close to downtown, good for after work drinks
Cons: Pasta, and is overpriced.
