    The place and atmosphere is very nice, the service was great. The pasta board is an amazing idea, but it wasn’t good; it looked awesome. But I really wish it tasted better. On a good side tiramisu was exceptionally delicious.

    This was our first time dining at Fire and the Feast . The food was excellent. We would rate this as now our number 1 Italian food restaurant. I picked the lasagna with out any additions and my husband the bolognese with meat balls were absolutely fabulous and piping hot! We started with the focaccia bread with an amazing pesto and wonderful buratta. We also had the carrots and it was the most amazing mixture of flavors that I wish I could have the recipe!! To top it off we had an amazing waitress who was fantastic! We will be back!

    We booked a reservation during Restaurant Week and had the absolute best dinning experience. The service was amazing, and Ryan, both Davids, Frank and Monica all made our experience so fun and memorable. The food was amazing and the drinks were top notch. Next time we are in Seattle we will be back!
