One of my favorite Italian restaurants for pasta. The atmosphere is lovely and relaxed, making it a great place for a proper sit-down meal.
The pasta is cooked perfectly al dente. This was also the first Italian restaurant I’ve been to that uses zucchini as a side component, which does a great job of balancing out the richness of the dishes.
Recommended:
Cappellini Aglio e Olio (vegetarian) and Linguine Carbonara — both are well-executed and very satisfying.
For dessert, they bring out a large tray and let you choose in person. The tiramisu and the double chocolate cake are both solid picks.
A great spot if you’re looking for well-made pasta, a comfortable setting, and a classic Italian dining experience.

Had high hopes for this place based on recommendations and reviews. We ordered a few things and the cheese appetizer dish was not good. Thought it would be more individual pieces but it was a circle of cheese breaded and fried. My 2 dishes were tasty except it was way too salty and I couldn’t keep eating it. Took it home so I can add more stuff to decrease the saltiness. Food was fresh and came out very fast. Service was great. Ambiance was nice too. I did like the old fashion. We most likely wouldn’t go back.

We talked to one of the regulars here in our visit and he informed us that the food there tasted like the food he grew up with in Italy. I personally couldn’t attest to this but I can say the ravioli I had was absolutely delicious and had so much flavor. This is the best Italian restaurant I have ever had from my memory. I will definitely be returning.

Our servers name was Giovanni (sp?) And he was amazing. We ordered cocktails, steamers, they had mouth watering bread as an appetizer. I had an Alfredo with linguine that had fish, mussels and prawns, and for my man the filet mignon. The service was amazing, everything was delicious although I’ll admit our clams were a bit on the salty side. The inside is nice, dark for a nice ambience and they typically fulfill your wants before you know you need them. Will definitely be returning

I’m flabbergasted that this restaurant has such high reviews on this platform. I’ve been to this restaurant twice. Once in 2025 and again on Valentines Day 2026. The first occurrence, my overall experience was meh. I thought the food was overpriced and the food was below average. My family on the other hand thought it was decent and when we thought about where to eat for Valentine’s Day this year, we decided to choose this location.
What a mistake that was.
The service was adequate. Overall friendly staff and they listened to our concerns. The atmosphere is very soothing, like the look of the restaurant. But the food and bar. That needs to be heavily changed.
The bar: We ordered two drinks, both of which were very basic. A gin and tonic and a French 75. But both were done terribly. My drink was the gin and tonic and I couldn’t taste any tonic. Just gin and ice. The French 75 had no champagne or sparkling wine. We sent both drinks back as they were terrible and we got both remade and still they were no better. Should’ve pregamed at home I guess.
The food: To start, I got food poisoning. Attached is the photo of my very overpriced and small portions shrimp fettuccine Alfredo. The shrimp was not cooked properly. I spent the rest of the night puking and sleeping in the restroom and my Sunday was a wash. Nobody else got food poisoning at my table but they also didn’t like their food either.
So TL/DR: Me and my family will never eat here again. The 4.8/5 google reviews is a load of BS. This restaurant should be avoided and you would have a better experience eating at McDonald’s and also much cheaper.

Incredible Italian restaurant, the best in the Seattle area! The owner, Fernando, makes his own wine in Italy, and it was amazing! The food was superb, prawns in Lobster Ravioli was the special. Best Italian dish I have ever had! The service was wonderful, very personal and the ambiance felt like you were in Italy. Altogether, this should be at the top of any restaurant list in the Seattle area!

Overall nice vibe and services, but the halibut fish dish was a bit too salty, we asked for a redo and they did provided a lighter favored version. Great place for 10-people large group meal.

We celebrated my daughter’s birthday with a group of 8. The ambiance is classic Italian and somewhat romantic. Our waiter was excellent with a sense of humor and great service. The menu seemed to have something for everyone. And now for the food… The majority of our group was disappointed. The pasta dishes were overcooked, and the sauces seemed tired, uninspired, lacking freshness and verve. That may sound cutting, but the owners would have a gem of a restaurant on their hands if they updated their recipes and met diners’ expectations of contemporary Italian food that is lively and bursting with flavor.

What an absolute gem! We came up for a concert, dropped the kid and had to find dinner. So excited we found this place. Service was attentive without pestering. The atmosphere was nice, albeit a little darker than I like to eat in. But the food……CHEF’S KISS!!! Every item we put in our mouths was an explosion of the most exquisite taste! Thankfully we have another concert in July. We will return!
