A West Seattle Gem!
My experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional. The Gnocchi was a standout dish, so good it teleported me back home to family meals. The friendly staff and warm atmosphere contributed to a rare gem of a dining experience in West Seattle. I highly recommend topping off the meal with a glass of wine and Auntie's limoncello tart. You won't regret visiting this spot.

New Favorite WS Restaurant!
Our new favorite WS restaurant, and we had take-out! Between 3 of us, we had a calzone, a gluten-free pizza, fettuccine Alfredo, and 2 salads. The ingredients were fresh, the GF pizza crust was great, and they were happy to accommodate all of our special requests. The fettuccine was exceptional. We couldn’t dine-in, but we definitely will next time. The atmosphere was cozy. The staff were very friendly and welcoming us as we waited for our food. Highly recommend!

Absolutely Amazing Food and Service!
My experience at the restaurant was insanely good. I had the Negroni and chicken sando, and they were both perfect 👌. My friend’s butter chicken was also amazing. The owner provided joyful service as well. I cannot recommend enough 👏.
