    The atmosphere and staff are amazing, and make this place really special! Every item we tried was fabulous. Try the rigatoni with apples and the zeppole for sure!

    Everything was very good. Pici with rabbit, Bolognese, etc - all delicious. Cozy vibe.

    A Tuscany-inspired Italian restaurant. Has exemplary house-made pastas, and nearly half the menu is vegetarian friendly. A wine list that gives equal weight to Northern Italy and Washington state. Read more

    Great service and place to hang out. Pastas are good, but the small plates really shine.

    Food here is fantastico, portions are right-sized so you don't feel like a walrus after dinner, & they have liquor. Friendly, attentive staff. If you're here early, pop in Oasis gallery next door. Read more

    You absolutely must save room for dessert and get the Nutella Zeppole. It is truly amazing!

    Food was good. Had the gnocchi and tagliarini. Service was oddly rushed, definitely felt like they were in a hurry to get us out ASAP.

    Mussels, pastas and rhubarb fritters for dessert were fantastic. Skip the pork leg entree (terribly dry) and the nutella semifreddo (just didn't work for me).
