These villages are a favored destination for travelers to Italy where seafood is prevalent. Pesto, a condiment made of fresh basil, is the flagship of tradition in the region.

    While the food was great, in fact one of the best Beef Carpaccio dishes I've had - the service became a major distraction to the evening. Our server was so distracted, every request had to be made 2-3 times....some requests took so long the food got cold while waiting. Our server would have been better off taking the day off instead of making the experience for diners disappointing.

    CT is consistently my go to for great food and fun times in Seattle. The food is always delicious and the service is consistently good even when it is really busy as it is most evenings. I highly recommend it for a nice time with friends or a reliably good meal with business associates.

    Great meal and service. Darko was our server and he was fast and helpful. The meals (most of which were vegetarian forward) were excellent. I loved the soup and beet salad. The olive oil pasta, pesto and lasagna were all excellent. Definitely would eat here again. I also appreciated that they offered free parking in the building lot.

    great food, the waiter seemed very stressed, maybe because he had too many tables. Very few table touches.

    My Bistecca was overcooked and burned on the outside. The worst experience I’ve ever had here.

    The food was good and speed of the kitchen was surprisingly fast. We enjoyed the meal, but for larger parties there is an automatic tip which was reflected with less friendly service.

    Staff was great but the food was just ok. We had a family style service so we were able to try many different things.

    Overall and underwhelming experience. Food was fine, nothing special and overpriced -- the wild boar pasta, which was quite good, was really a half portion for $30 . . . Service very slow because it is a very large restaurant and seemed understaffed. Like so many places these days mid food at high prices.
