"The food was very good. They seemed a bit understaffed, but the guy working here hustled to get us what we needed. I would go back, it is very good Italian with a pretty good selection. We had pepperoni pizza, pasta with prawns and spaghetti and meatballs. All were fantastic. They gave us bread prior to the food coming."

"We arrived around 7pm. It wasn't too packed , quite a few open tables. However we stood at the door waiting for over 10 minutes and were barely acknowledged. Multiple staff members walked right by us without a word. I considered leaving. At one point , a waitress said she'd be with us in a minute. It was quite a while. We were finally seated (again the only people standing there waiting). After we got a table , we were helped relatively quickly and the service got better. We had gnocchi pasta and the minestrone soup. Both were wonderful. We also had the tiramisu, it was fabulous. The restaurant's atmosphere was pretty but it was very drafty. We also got seated right by the window and a door that kept sweeping open."

"Good atmosphere and service. Food was good and arrived before our drinks did which was very fast (our salad also arrived first, then the pasta, then the drinks). The rigatoni pesce had a ton of seafood but the sauce was a bit thin and watery like a cioppini (fish stew), and the spaghetti al porro was a bit flavor less for my wife. The ravioli was excellent. The prices are quite reasonable so we would try this restaurant again."

"Buongiorno!! My fiance and I are in Seattle, WA for the 2023 Italian Festival. To authenticate our visit even more, we chose this restaurant for dinner Saturday evening. Words cannot adequately describe our experience, but if taste buds could talk!!!! Casual-formal atmosphere, ambient lighting, decent noise level for how >busy"

"Great food! Lasagna had just the right ratio of sauce, meat, noodles, and cheese. I was pleased to find the sauce prepared traditionally with carrots in it, which gave it great flavor. My wife very much enjoyed the chicken picatta - tender and flavorful. Service was prompt and friendly, my only criticism is my first serving of wine was served in a dirty glass. Comfortable seating in the covered area outside."
