    Absolutely the best Italian food I've had in Italy, with service and a fantastic table to go with it. Having just spent 10 days in 3 cities across Italy, I really appreciated everything, and the hospitality that went with it. Great pate, lasagna and daily fish. Super wine list as well. Looking forward to returning next trip to SEA.

    Benjamin, affectionately nicknamed “Montana” for the evening was absolutely delightful. He went above and beyond for our group. He was patient with our never ending questions and truly made the whole experience memorable. The food was otherworldly and I cannot recommend the butter and sage pasta enough. I will come back every time I’m in Seattle!
