Nice little patio for warm nights!
Doug M.

Great Italian food in downtown Everett. We try to hit this place up 3-4 times a year prior to hockey games. Small interior with only 8-10 tables. Open kitchen in back where you can watch cooks work. Owner is frequently on hand and loves to welcome diners and chat! Full bar and some great custom drinks. Menu has plenty of pasta, seafood and protein options. Sauces and sides are well crafted and so rich! Service is top notch and servers are well educated on menu , recommendations and options! Be sure to get reservations, this place is packed on weekends!

Dirty martini and Pilsner

Came here before a concert at the Everett Historic Theater, a 2 min walk away. It's very small and seemed like there wasn't enough staff. Took awhile to get seated, and then to have our drink order taken. After that it was great! We shared a Charred Broccoli, which was delicious! Also Focaccia, because everyone raves about it. And it was noteworthy, yummy! Then Bucatini with pancetta, and that was really good. Husband thought too al dente, I was OK with it. Nice Montepulciano, a good pour, after my dirty martini. Husband liked his Reubens Pilsner. I wish we were closer, as I'd like to try other things, especially if we can eat closer to our normal time, not 6pm!

Perfectly cooked pasta, cozy ambiance, and lovely open kitchen where we could watch the team prepare meals.

Bucatini with pancetta and egg
Jennifer H.

A good upscale Italian spot for the north-end if you are looking for a casual dinner that makes everything from scratch. The menu changes every season. The ambiance is definitely dim, casual vibes. The restaurant isn't that big, seats able 10-15 tables and gets really loud in there. It is an open kitchen, so you can watch the chefs cook. Service was good - only had two waiters but they did a good job waiting on all of the tables. For 2 people, we ordered the following (portion size - small to decent size. Would order couple dishes if you are doing family style.): Drinks Cecchi Sangiovese Appetizers burrata - pear mostarda, pistachio, crostini. Perfect, no complaints. Would recommend. Entrees Strozzapreti - spicy fennel sausage, tomato, fried sage, and ricotta. Would highly recommend this dish, it was flavorful. Cavatelli - bolognese, mascarpone, mint. Wasn't my favorite dish out of the 3. The noodles didn't go well with the sauce and it was somewhat bland. Bucatini - pancetta, red onion, chili flakes, cured egg. Would highly recommend this dish, it was flavorful, peppery. Dessert Chocolate Cremeux - new item on the dessert menu. I'd skip it, wasn't a fan.

Strozzapreti with sausage in a red sauce. My husband was impressed!

I don't often write reviews, but this place was truly phenomenal. It has a charming little-shop feel--small, simple, and spotless--but the food is some of the tastiest I've experienced in a very long time. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the incredible smell of freshly baked bread, and I knew we were in for something special. We started with the bruschetta, and I was completely blown away. I'm still not sure how the onions were prepared--caramelized, fermented, or maybe something in between--but the combination with the cheese was unforgettable. It was so good that we immediately decided we had to try both the bruschetta and the focaccia bread with our meal. Their menu rotates often, but every dish is built around the style of the pasta, matched thoughtfully with the perfect sauce. My husband ordered the strozzapreti with a rich red sauce and sausage, which was absolutely wonderful. I had the bucatini in a carbonara-style sauce, and it was cooked perfectly--creamy, flavorful, and comforting. We rarely order dessert, but we couldn't resist--even though we had a birthday cake waiting at home! We finished with the olive oil cake, which was fluffy, soft, and the perfect end to an exceptional meal. This restaurant may be small, but the quality is unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend.

Our bill.

Excellent food (hanger steak & risotto), charming service, amazing smell upon entry, nice wine list. Chocolate Panna Cotta serving could have been a tab larger but overall- great choice.

Paccheri

The atmosphere was really nice and cozy. We ordered the Paccheri and it was so soo good, the red sauce was flavorful and the right kick of chili flakes. We also got the upside down pear cake, didn't get the chance to get a picture because it was absolutely devoured. Will be back.

We started with the meatball appetizer, they were just ok, a little hard and not that tasty. There were four of us eating, both men gave 2 stars. They cut up the pieces of shrimp in the prawns meal and the noodles were a bit chalky. The tag meal was delicious. The other two meals were just ok at best. Service was fine. Ambiance was lacking as well, open room with not a lot of room or privacy to speak without disturbing the people next to you. They were out of ice tea. I think this may be the first Italian place that doesn't offer bread with your meal. Both men left hungry, the portions are very small.

Sparkling wine
Sum H.

Friends and I decided to visit Monday night for dinner. The restaurant had 1/3 full at the time of arriving which is just after happy hour. We ordered a bottle of sparkling wine, burrata, beets for appetizers, paccheri and bucatini pasta then steak dish. Beets and Burrata were pretty good though the cheese was hard that I expected softer as I have had really soft burrata in the past. Toasted French bread were burned.. Bucatini pasta dish was extremely salty I couldn't have a second bite. Not sure why it was that salty. I ended up telling the server about and she said it's supposed to be salty due to pancetta and cured egg in it. We wonder if the chef tried it before serving. Pasta was fresh and had good texture I thought would have been much better with simple sauce. Another miss was the focaccia bread we added to our order because of saltiness of the dishes. It was burned black on the bottom. We told the server and she took it off of the receipt. I remember having lunch and dinner here in the past and I've never had this type of experience. So hopefully this is just one incident.

We started with the Pappardelle Al Ragu Di Cinghiale, which was quite tasty, though the pasta felt a smidge on the drier side. Unfortunately, the Osso Buco ($75) missed the mark immensely. The veal was overdone and notably fatty, and the saffron risotto was very dry; it desperately needed a sauce to pull the components together. At that price point, I expected a much more refined execution. It's a lovely place to sit and the staff are wonderful, but the main courses didn't live up to the premium cost. Edit: I'm surprised by this response. I took the time to highlight what your team does well--the service and the atmosphere were truly lovely. My feedback on the Osso Buco was meant to be constructive, especially given the high price point. It's disappointing that instead of addressing a kitchen consistency issue, the suggestion is simply to eat elsewhere. I'll certainly take that advice.

Seats are limited and on our visit (Tuesday) several people were unable to find a seat. It was loud during our visit so it was hard to hear one another during our visit. Service was friendly and on the slow side. Thank you G&G for a nice evening. I look forward to returning in the future.

We had a MARVELOUS experience!…read more My bf, his mom and myself passed by this place on a couple of walks. I've also marked it as a place to visit. It is part of the Staybridge Suite hotels here and this hotel in general, is always packed! We finally know why! The hotel inside is beautiful -- woodwork and a cozy ambience! The 5 x 5 bar & bistro is new. What it was before was an old theater. Matthew was a one-man show with two ladies helping him with carrying the done orders to the tables. It was actually quiet on a Wednesday when we had went. Only 3 tables occupied. We missed happy hour and settled on the regular menu. I had the chicken tenders (4-pc) with lemon pepper seasoning (oh my -- this was delicious!) along with sweet potato waffle fries. I also got the hummus plate -- fresh veggies and the hummus had feta cheese and olive oil too, yummy! My bf had the pepperoni pizza with cheddar cheese and topped with green onions. I had a taste of it and it was pretty good! My bf's mom had the fish burger with a side salad. Matthew was so kind and made a mental note of the orders. He even remembered my bf's mom saying 'no cheese' and he doubled checked with her after looking at the fish burger. Real nice guy and his service with the ladies was warm and delightful! They're forming an events room hall that will be done soon that used to be a pool area (so yes, no swimming pool anymore). They also have a nice patio area with long chairs and a nice mini bar/grills in the middle. I also had a limoncello cooler and my bf's mom has red wine too. We'd come back again!

In short Great deals on great drinks, food is really solid,…read moreand the setting is nice and friendly. Only drawback is that the hours are limited. In long Lately we've been seeking out places that are literally quieter--less volume on the music, more space between the tables, and so on. I'd been wanting to check out 5x5, anyway, since it's the only spot around with an exactly perfect rating score. It looked like it'd fit the bill for a low-key place, and off we went. We came in shortly after they opened on a Saturday (4:00 PM). You're in a larger business-traveler hotel here, aimed at Boeing and Boeing-sub folks traveling for work. The building looks kinda generic from outside, but there's plenty of parking, and the lobby has a high-ceilinged atrium vibe for sure. Nice floor tiles, nice carpet, tasteful furniture. Everything's in perfect shape. You don't feel the lounge vibe right away, but there's a gigantic fireplace ahead of you, warming both sides of the room from the middle. Around that, there are lots of sturdy, shiny tables under the lofty ceilings. Off to the side, there's a little lounge area, then another one. Everything in the lounge is bar-height seating, and there are a few flatscreens, probably showing the game. Most folks are in here, sitting around the bar in the middle of the room. We posted up at a table just outside the lounge. Lindsey was behind the bar, and cheerfully answered every single question we had about food and all their cocktails. She's super friendly and makes a great drink for sure. She seems to have a bunch of regulars who aren't staying at the hotel, which is a great sign, no doubt. We checked out the warm pretzel--such a decadent treat. The waffle fries (and especially the aioli that came with them) were awesome. The pizza was a great choice; we added pickled onions to the Speedway. The crust could be a little crisper but we took home what we didn't finish and it's great here, too. Service on food and drinks was really quick. The cocktails here can be really creative, and there are lots of classics with house twists on the recipe. They even have a pisco sour they've tweaked--that's a fair bit of work for a bartender to make mid-shift. We got 5 great drinks and 3 nice plates of food for $96, and I don't think we even ordered anything from the HH menu. This is a very easy place to add to the rotation.

It was okay, but a bit overcooked, and it came with fries... maybe 25 total for a 3-piece fish plate. Our bill was around $65 for two beers (with the $2 off Thursday special), the calamari, and the 3-piece halibut. Just overpriced for what it was. The place itself is cute, and they had acoustic music going, which was nice. The staff was friendly and really hustling with how busy it was.

I ended with 3 for the venue, live music (she was really good) and the awesome staff.

We snagged a table facing the crowd because obviously I live for good people watching. Our waitress, adorable and super sweet, suggested I try the Lavender Flip, and holy moly it was amazing. Like floral, creamy, cozy perfection in a glass. Hubby got some cucumber-whiskey thing that looked so fancy I had to steal a sip (and yes, it was as good as it looked). Food-wise, we split... he got the charcuterie board (solid) and I got the bacon-wrapped dates, which were basically tiny bites of happiness. Just enough to snack on without ruining the drinks. The whole vibe? Chef's kiss. My husband actually said, "This is my perfect place," and he's not wrong. Chill lighting, funky crowd, killer playlist, and that sweet spot between classy and relaxed. Only hiccup, it took forever to get our check, but to be fair, it was packed and our waitress apologized about a dozen times. Then I find out Everett does some big "First Friday" thing every month, and Colby Club goes all in. Disco night and all-night happy hour. Like, what?! Unreal. Definitely coming back on a regular night too, just to see what the "normal" vibe is like (if it's ever normal). 10/10 for date night energy, people watching, and cocktails that make you wanna dance under a disco ball.
