   Excellent Italian family run restaurant serving quality house made food with lovely service in a small and welcoming community. Nice wine list, too! Highly recommend.

   We went for our anniversary and it was amazing. The food was fresh! We had the octopus as a starter then we both got Carbonara. My wife can’t have gluten and their gluten free noodles are the best she’s had. Also the service was great, everyone was nice! 10/10

   Not so much. The chicken was dry and overdone. The octopus starter had more olives than octopus… flavors were bland and lifeless. They could do better. Not a place I would recommend

   Amazing experience! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was divine. Homey and elegant at the same time. The owners were so friendly and on Valentine’s Day, the restaurant experience was very well orchestrated for all. They had a special menu which included great choices for first course, second course and dessert. I had rigatoni with pesto and prawns, my husband had the asparagus risotto with lemon and orange zest. The dessert was scrumptious. I had the Panna Cotta which might be the best dessert I’ve ever tasted. It had a strawberry purée and lemon and orange extract with vanilla. So smooth and delicious! Thank you for a wonderful time. We will definitely be back for more.

   Went for v-day, and discovered that they were only serving a prix-fixe menu despite calling in advance and being told that the regular menu would also be available. For $75/person with small serving sizes and very limited proteins on the menu, it felt like a blatant money grab. Food was just ok. No espresso or tea offered with dessert. Big miss and honestly we should have left in the beginning. Looks like a neighborhood gem but sorry, we won’t be back.

   Overcharged for mediocre pasta with rushed service. Difficult to enjoy a conversation with a date when the waiter offers you to-go boxes 5 minutes into your main course. Not exaggerating, we were given 3 courses and the bill within 40 minutes of sitting down. I understand that high turnover, especially on Valentines day, is good for the business but it comes at the expense of the customer experience.

   The smoked salmon ravioli was the best ravioli I have had in a very very long time. Very much looking forward to visiting again next time I’m in Seattle.

    A wonderful meal. The squid ink pasta with shrimp in a very nice chunky tomato sauce was perfect. And the taste of the sea percolated throughout the entire dish. The bread, baked in house, was kind of dense but that didn't detract from the meal in general. I also really appreciated the attentive and kind service. And the atmosphere is cool as well.
