Frozen Food, Poor Value
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food was definitely not fresh; it tasted like frozen meals that were reheated. For the price, around $30 a plate, I expected much better quality. The taste was comparable to a frozen TV dinner from a grocery store. The service, however, was not bad. Overall, this was the worst Italian food we have ever had.

Authentic Italian Gem in Seattle!
We absolutely love this restaurant for its authentic Italian food and atmosphere. It's our number one go-to spot when visiting Italy. Uh um, I mean Seattle! The food is a perfect 5/5, the atmosphere is a delightful 5/5, and the service is equally impressive at 5/5. It's a quiet place, making it easy to have a conversation.

Consistently Great Food and Strong Drinks
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food is consistently good, no matter what we order. The pasta is excellent, and the pizza is underrated. The drinks are really strong, and the dessert menu is expansive with plenty of options. The service was great, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The pizzas and pastas were excellent, truly transporting me back to Italy. The staff was always great, contributing to a wonderful dining experience. The ambiance was also really great, creating a pleasant atmosphere for our dinner with a group of 2 people. The noise level was quiet, making it easy to talk.

Great Italian Spot with a Friendly Owner
My experience at this Italian restaurant in Belltown was quite positive. The owner is very friendly and has clearly put a lot of effort into growing the place from a gelateria to a full-blown restaurant. The dishes are all very good, offering lots of wonderful vegetarian options as well. However, some dishes can sometimes feel a little heavy or greasy. Overall, it's a great spot for Italian cuisine.

Hidden Fees and Lingering Smells
My experience at this restaurant began with a red flag: a $30 per person cancellation fee for reservations. The service was decent, though silverware and napkins were oddly placed in our water cups. The food was average, and we later observed pre-made plates in a fridge, suggesting food is prepared in advance and reheated. We were not informed about a 3% credit card charge, which is unacceptable in 2025. Combined with an automatic 20% service fee and an additional tip screen, the hidden fees felt dishonest. To top it off, everyone in my party left smelling horribly of food, indicating either poor ventilation or old, dirty cookware. Our clothes, car, and hair retained the smell after a brief dinner.

Sweet Service, Scrumptious Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! Our waitress was incredibly sweet and helpful. I had some of the best burrata of my life, and the pesto and sauce it was in was absolutely scrumptious. She recommended it with the bread service, which was perfect for soaking up every last bit of sauce. The amazing bread was a highlight too! The Hugo spritz was perfect, and my husband’s chicken and pappardelle pasta had a wonderful sauce. For dessert, the limoncello was light and refreshing. I definitely recommend giving this place a try!
