Food is amazing but more importantly the service by Pedro and his wife Letizia is pristine. The pizza is to die for, as is every dish in the restaurant. Prices are reasonable.

We eat there at least twice a year when we come to the Seattle to go to the more theater for concerts. We always have a wonderful time. The food is always great and the service is out.

We were disappointed. My Pasta Fettuccine Tartufo was sticky and the "house-made pasta" had a bite as if it had more flour in it than semolina. The Pasta in her Lasagna seemed to be a pile of deconstructed pasta. The sauce was delicious. She said the Nebbiolo Molino wine complemented the Lasagna. It did not pair with my Fettuccine Tartufo I asked for a white wine to go with the Fettuccine Tartufo, and they supplied a glass of GI Sauvignon Blanc that was way too fruity tasting and did not complement. [That Sauvignon Blanc was a very tasty wine on its own. I could smell the aroma of fresh grapes in it]. The service was good, it was friendly, and the owner checked in with us. Leif in Seattle

Terrible food cooked quickly and without nuance. Tasted premade, too salty and lacked flavor. I brought a real Italian with me and he ordered the salad. On the plus side the server was terrific, friendly and efficient.
