Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Normandy Park

What a special place and special meal. My wife have been trying to dine here for over 25 years and we finally made it happen. We knew it was going to be a great night when we were seated at one of the widow seats. Didn't know that space had been added. We absolutely loved our waiter Patrick; we was spectacular in every way. Solid wine list at reasonable prices. Loved the Barbera d' Asti from northern Italy The local Washington oysters were a treat. Arancini (3) were hot and delish. Went for the classic Pink Door lasagna (I never order Lasagna in restaurants - Costco lasagna has ruined me forever on the dish!) However I loved this version - such subtle flavors. My wife had the pappardelle (she makes a number of great PD dishes) and she loved what she ordered. Ended the evening with the sticky toffee dessert which also was rich and memorable! It's clear the Pink Door know its lane and everything works. Every thing we ate was memorable and we can't wait to return and try what we didn't have a chance to enjoy. We flew up from Sacramento to see Beethoven's 7th at the Seattle Symphony. Thanks for your part in making our trip more than we ever could have hoped for.

If you're looking for and amazing Italian dining experience, then look no further! Tucked into the corner, this gem of a resteraunt doesn't need a flashy building or bright signage, because the food really shines! The service was top notch, and the food was exquisite. With portion sizes that won't leave you hungry and flavors that will knock ypu out with every bite. I've found me new date night experience! This place is a must go, if you are a local or just passing by! Do not miss the opportunity!

I was blown away by the outstanding service and attention we received. I appreciate how your staff offered us options for seating and then continually checked in on us to make sure we were taken care of. Thank you so much to Sam and all the others who helped her. Much appreciated. I enjoyed my salad with grilled shrimp, delicious. The only comment was that there should be more fennel in the fennel/tomato soup. Otherwise all was great. I will be back with my husband for dinner.

Our waiter was top notch and the food is super fresh and creatively prepared. Also fish and seafood are responsibly sourced.

Delicious food and a great time. Would recommend for a special occasion as it’s quite pricey.
