“Friendly neighborhood bar feel, but with a modern flair. Cozy, but not too small to move through comfortably. HAPPY HOUR still exists here! I'd definitely go back. Had the tuna melt, was a nice portion, perfect french fries and very fresh.“
“This place is AMAZING! We had a large group looking for a place to eat pretty last minute. When we called to see if they could take us, they welcomed us with open arms, even though we would be coming in 45 minutes until closing. The food was the best, authentic Italian, the portions was perfect, and the staff was extremely attentive and friendly. I'm so glad we found this place! We will definitely be visiting again the next time we're in Bellevue!“
“Beautiful Italian restaurant in a corner location that affords fantastic people-watching (at least if you stop in for lunch).I’ve eaten a LOT of gnocchi in my life and I don’t think I’ve ever encountered another so pillowy and delicate. I’d say it was the highlight of my day, but then I got the tiramisu for dessert. My taste buds will be doing a happy dance for the rest of the week thanks to this meal.It’s not cheap, but you absolutely get what you pay for. The food is worth every penny and then some.Also Cristian is personable and attentive without hovering. It’s an art and he’s mastered it.The restaurant operates on the European style of dining (while serving solidly American portion sizes) - you won’t receive your bill until you request it. When so many restaurants are focused on turning tables (or replacing employees with kiosks), this is a wonderful reminder of what a dining experience can be.I have family coming into town at the end of the month and before I even finished the meal, I was texting to see if I could treat them to dinner here.While I live in north Snohomish county, I will ABSOLUTELY be driving back down here. The food and dining experience are superb.Parking: For electric vehicle drivers, there’s a dedicated street parking spot right in front of the entrance. It requires the use of a ChargePoint level 1 charger so even though I had to be charging to use the spot, it was $1.66 for 53 minutes.“
“Great food, great service. Happy we went there for the evening, would probably go again. Missed opportunity by staff not acknowledging it was a birthday dinner that I had noted in the reservation. Not a big deal, just a missed opportunity to make it a little more special that's all. Overall a good experience!“
“Hands-down, the best, Italian, not just in seattle, but to me in the country! Specifically the bolognese is very unique ! I used to live here but now I come back every time I visit Seattle it’s worth the drive into bellevueIf you come here, you should also try the tortellini and also the special chicken with artichoke and mushroom. So yummy ! See pics“
“GREAT FOOD! you definitely need to visit once. The staff were very polite and helpful, and the servers were also very funny, they cracked a few jokes that just made the dinner better. We had ordered the antipasto assortito with the pizza carbonara which went together perfectly. And for dessert we ordered panna cotta which you should definitely get, it’s not very sweet but just the perfect balance and is simple and subtle. The overall dinning experience was a ten along with the ambiance. They also provide you with blankets incase you get cold especially if you’re sitting at a table in the patio.Also make sure to make reservations in advance as it is unlikely that you’ll find a table as per your preferred timing and they are usually full.“
