The SPICY WILD SHRIMP POMODORO I ordered today doesn't have enough sauce, so I feel like something is missing.

About the restaurant

The PNW landscape easily lends itself to Italian cuisine. Similar to that of Mediterranean towns, Edmonds is just steps away from Ocean’s Bounty, minutes from the closest vineyards and just hours from some of the best agricultural resources in the nation. Join us as we welcome you into our home for a delightful meal that Nonna would be proud of!

My sisters and I went for brunch, and everything was great: the food, service, and comfortable booth. I had the Early Riser with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, which were both excellent. The accompanying berry bowl (macerated strawberries and blueberries), cheesy potatoes, and focaccia were also delicious. I’d love to come back for dinner to enjoy what I’m sure will be another wonderful meal.
