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!
