Everything is shareable so get about 2 plates per person (factor in dessert ). Recommend polenta fritters to start, pork belly for meat, and strozzapreti for pasta . But remember menu changes !
This was my first Ethan Stowell restaurant , and I simply loved it. The sourdough bread - the best bread appetizer I’ve had. Strozzapreti (buttery) and Duck Confit were amazingly delicious!
Fresh ingredient and love the pasta . Very friendly services . If you can't reserve a table, try to walk in, they have some counter seats . Lastly, Dessert is fantastic - we tried chocolate butter cake .
Stellar in every way. Exceptional and attentive service . Every food we tried was something we’ve never had before. Chicken liver mousse ! What an anniversary treat! Will definitely be back.
Delicious farm to table Italian-style New American. Great wine selection (loved the Dolcetto) and the soft cooked egg with dungeness crab ! Gooey duck pasta is awesome as well .
Unbelievable meal! Heirloom tomato salad , chicken liver mousse , hamachi crudo , risotto with corn , marscapone and chanterelles and bucatini with crab , basil , and grape tomatoes . Mind blowing.
I have been here multiple times. They don't have a big menu but it changed often. I'm a fan of Ethan Stowell , there are some other restaurants he has in the city . Pasta is definitely a try!
Quiet & cozy atmosphere . I can see why people say it's good for dates . The agnolotti w/ butternut squash & brown butter is amazing!
The beef carpaccio was amazing, clams had a great tangy sauce but the real star was the panna otta with saba, pistacchios and fresh mangoes . So good we had to order a second one!
Awesome small plates : try grilled baby octopus with beans. Pasta recommendation: spaghetti with anchovies . Order a red wine !
The pasta with poach tuna was amazing, pork tenderloin with cooked perfectly and delicious!
Everything is amazing (bonus points for the MFK Fisher reference) but I would come here just for the incredible bread .
So awesome. Great service and wine suggestions. The hamachi is really good, as is their bolognese pasta .
Really enjoyed the pastas and the barata. Oh, and the cocktails are very well done.
Every single dish is amazing. We were going to order 3-5 dishes and ended up with 8.
Staff is incredibly nice and know the menu very well . They also have an amazing wine selection .
Love the geoduck, beef carpaccio and Swiss Chard Agnolotti !
Truly our favorite Ethan Stowell restuarant! The Chicken Liver Mousse and Beef Carpaccio make it hard to stay away.
Great for dates— squash blossoms , gnocchi , & chocolate brownie were highlights
Chef Matt Fortner puts his own stamp on the menu of this unfussy Italian-via-Northwest style restaurant . [Eater 38 Member] Read more
Ask for "The Professor". It's an off the menu cocktail that will have you coming back often.
Try the Chocolate Pudding Cake with peanut butter gelato and peanut brittle - So good. The picture does not do it justice!!!
Adorable, the staff is savvy but not pretentious . Sit at the bar and watch the show. Makes it thrice as tasty.
The staff are super friendly and the cocktails are awesome too
All the pastas are good, the hamachi crudo was amazing!
One of the best Italian meals I've ever had in my life.
Make sure you have the gnocchi and a vodka tonic. Great italian food to die for. Worth the annoying parking situation.
Great food, drinks and service but a little too LOUD , small, and dark.
Shaun McCrain, chef of Book Bindery, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Chicken-liver mousse . Read more
Try the gin Popsicle !
The Italian-inflected menu has no big platters of family-style entrees like sister restaurant Tavolata, but there are several pastas plus a lengthy list of appetizers . Consider the halved eggs . Read more
Pasta is great, portions are on the smaller side
Bruschetta was so unique and delicious.
Try the Expresso Rubbed Pork Tenderloin (via @Foodspotting)
Raw plates, beef carpaccio and escolar tuna if u r a fan of super white tuna sashimi , both simple but delish!!!
adorable. cozy . friendly . prosecco . soft buffalo mozza, pear & arugula salad . seared scallops . potato gnocchi w bacon . HOT chefs . i likey.
Try the Albacore Tuna Crudo (via @Foodspotting)
Carpaccio to die for. World's best pork chop .
Try the Peanut butter gelato and peanut brittle - OMG. Best dessert ever.
Absolutely everything
Pastas were fantastic.
great menu
Menu changes frequently, and everything is always delicious!
Pesto , pasta , scallops
Waiting to see when the delicious anchovy pasta is back on the menu - so delicious
Great playlist! And it's always a good sign when you can't taste the coke in a jack and coke .
Try the frisee salad ... it used to come with other nuts , but the pistachios now make the salad delectable.
The pasta dishes.
an awesome little restaurant on the top of Queen Anne hill
Chocolate bread pudding and amaretto ice cream are to die for!!!
Loved the gnocchi and the mushroom pizza. Perfect dishes for sharing at the table in a great setting although it can get a bit noisy. - Jennifer Evans
Good service, quality food. Reservations recommended. Parking is easy and free around the neighborhood. - Everyday
The falafel is amazing!! (If not the best). The veggies with the duck egg were pretty good too. - Daniel Mejia
Love their ice cream! My favorite is honey lavender followed by strawberry balsamic vinegar and earl grey. On warm/hot days the line does get quite long so be prepared to wait 30minutes to an hour. - Lena Kidd
Best view of downtown Seattle. A big of a walk so be prepared but, well worth the hike. - Peter den Hartog
Mango passion fruit, raspberry pomegranate sorbet, and pure tart with tons of mochi, boba, and raspberries!! - Chris Gunrack
