    Ceaser salad with Salmon (sub'd out croutons for the toasted pecans)

    Ceaser salad with Salmon (sub'd out croutons for the toasted pecans). Plus the Wine Wednesday half price bottle of Rombauer... Delicious!

    Chicken Marsala w/extra mushrooms, potatoes and broccolini
    Ian M.

    Such a peaceful atmosphere and wonderful place to watch the world go by. This would be an excellent place to take a date or spend time with good friends. Located in the downtown area of Poulsbo, WA and just across the parking lot from Liberty Bay, this restaurant is in a very nice area of town and the views from the Tableside windows are good. The server we had was super on top of everything and was very well spoken and attentive. He ensured our meal was perfect in every way. I had a bowl of their seafood chowder which was delicious and enjoyed the pictured Chicken Marsala with extra mushrooms. My co-worker enjoyed the crab cakes and some wine. I have saved this place for a subsequent visit to the area and hope to dine here again soon!

    Service was friendly and efficient , everything else was so-so. My party of 8 all agreed that the dishes were just okay - Uninspired, but not "bad" either. The gnocchi and fettuccini were just plain bland.The mushroom and brie appetizer felt a little thrown together. The interior matched the food - it looked like a place just opening up, but not ready to. Parts of the interior looked like there was little effort to create an appealing experience. An industrial fridge out in the open, random equipment and stacks of cups on an impromptu storage area off to the side. It just felt like a place where management didn't know where to put everything, so it was left on display for the customers. The dress of the staff could be a little less informal as well. It seems like just a few changes would make it much more appealing. If some effort were really made to create an attractive environment, and more attention to upscLing the dishes, this place would become a beacon for repeat customers. I look forward to giving it another try next time I'm in town to see if there is some positive change.

    Margherita Pizza
    Morgan O.

    I'm not sure if we came at a bad time but the service we received was not good. It felt like we were bothering the server just to get drinks. They also actively put out lights for every table EXCEPT ours, and left the picked apart antipasto board when we said we were done, so the table was crowded. We got the antipasto as an app and that was the only good part of our experience. For our mains we did the alfredo and a margherita pizza and we did not like either. The alfredo was actively bad and tasted only like heavy cream. The noodles were falling apart to the point of having to stab them to pick them up. The pizza was pretty bland. Overall very disappointed in the service and food, especially since the interior is so beautiful.

    Too much olive oil in the bruschetta...
    Veronica G.

    If you're expecting anything similar to its predecessor, That's A Some Italian, you'll be sorely disappointed. Wandered in on a Thursday evening with the husband and our 5 year old for dinner. Was greeted and promptly seated; no complaints on the service. We started off with bruschetta as a starter... it's supposed to be a light appetizer but this bruschetta was just doused in olive oil and my stomach just felt heavy after eating only one of these (there were 5 pieces in an order). My husband compared it to basically a ceviche with balsamic instead of lime and covered in olive oil. Not a good start already but the wine I had was decent to wash the taste out. I had the seafood cakes, husband had the fettuccine Alfredo and our kiddo had the kids pizza with pepperoni. While the cakes tasted okay, it was dry. Sad. My husband's dish though... the pasta didn't even look like fettuccine! Looked like the pasta was home made but the noodles must've fallen apart while cooking... can't believe they even decided to serve that way but we didn't have the time nor energy to send it back. At least our 5 year old enjoyed the pizza; the server was sweet with our kiddo and that was appreciated. We had really high hopes for this place but after this experience, we will not be back.

    Impossible Cake. Chocolate cake with a flan layer and caramel sauce.
    Elizabeth V.

    We decided to try the new spot in town for a birthday dinner. A nice addition to Front Street with some kinks to work out, especially in light of the price per diner. We ordered a calamari appetizer, gnocchi and the bistecca. Every dish was VERY tomato heavy. Chopped tomatoes seemed to play a starting role on every plate. Not a problem, per se, except for, because of that, there was little distinction in flavor between any of the dishes. All tomato, all the time. As it was my birthday, we ordered a dessert. Dessert is my love language and The Great British Baking Show is what I watch on the treadmill, so my hopes and standards are high. The only option that evening was the Impossible Cake (D doesn't do coffee so the tiramisu was off the table and bread pudding was not available) a chocolate cake with a layer of flan with caramel sauce. Sadly, the cake was really, really bland and, in the words of TGBBS's Mary Berry, a bit stodgy. Birthday cake is usually my favorite part of the day, not so much this year. The service was just fine and we are hoping that the flavor and texture issues are something that will work out in time.

    Came in for lunch on weekend and we were seated right away. We tried a salad, some pasta with salmon, a gluten free pizza, the clam chowder, and calamari and everyone was very happy with what they ordered. Since I have some sensitivities I only had the pizza that day but man, this pizza made up for the craving I've been having for regular pizza lol. My family really liked how light the food felt and how it was seasoned, though we did go home with leftovers! I will say the staff here were wonderful. I had my baby and they were so nice and he loved the attention lol. We were the only people seated indoors while everyone else was on the patio but I really liked the vibe. We will be back!

    Verdura Arrostita Pizza

    Overall Rating - 8.17 Food - 7/10 - The cannelloni was very delicious, quite simple, just a pesto mixed with cream on top of a simple stuffed pasta. The broccolini on top was slightly cold but it was quite delicious and the serving felt a little small, there was only two cannelloni on the plate. - The eggplant parmasan was disappointing. The polenta was mushy and clumpy and unseasoned. The eggplant was unseasoned and lost its crisp. The marinara was overly acidic and lacked flavor. - The Verdura Arrostita pizza was quite delicious, the roasted garlic on top was the highlight. The crust was fine, as well as the other veggies on top. - The winter salad was delicious, very simple but and clean and delicious! - The coconut panna cotta with mango chutney was fantastic! - The italian soda very good, although it could have benefited from some whipped cream or a garnish of sorts. - The complimentary focaccia and oil was very delicious, the topping on the bread was fantastic! ‍‍Accessibility - 9/10 - the restaurant is quite accessible physically, it is completely ground level with a ramp on the side walk. The accessible parking is a little far from the restaurant though sadly. - Sensory wise, the music is calm and the lights are dim. ‍Service - 10/10 - the service was fantastic, we got in one hour before closing and did not feel rushed or like we were not wanted in anyway. The waiter was very kind and helpful and made a great dessert recommendation. Ambiance - 9/10 - Good lighting, very pretty decor, nice music, great view. Parking - 7/10 - There is not parking in front of the restaurant so it is a little inaccessible but not too bad. Price - 7/10 - it is a bit pricey for the food, the ambiance is very nice but the food felt a little simple or not as worthy of the price, it wasn't bad, just not as worthy of the price for the quality.

    A cute little Italian grocery store and a cafe with an open kitchen on Bainbridge Island. Honestly…read morewhen I saw the kitchen staff at work, something told me the food was gonna be off the charts. It was! We got the spinach and ricotta ravioli with the mushroom sauce, spaghetti with marinara and an artichoke/mushroom/ olives pizza. It was terrific. I was eyeing the cannoli and a friendly lady in the line told me it was a must try. So I did. It was crunchy, not too sweet, nutty from the pistachio and sweet from the chocolate. Unfortunately we were very hungry so we demolished the food within minutes-- so no pictures. The storefront was very cute. A lot of Italian wines, spices, and condiments and even an olive oil bottling station. I also bought a bottle of Sangiovese that I am very excited to try.

    What an absolute hidden treasure…read more Discovered Via Rosa 11 while exploring Bainbridge Island on the advice of a friend. NOW I get why she recommended it! This place is absolutely delicious in every way! Driving past, you might miss it entirely. The exterior is almost secretive (perhaps that's what they're going for). But once inside, you step into a small Italian market filled with authentic staples. You'll find imported pastas, olive oils, sparkling sodas, cured meats, olives, etc. Equal parts neighborhood pizzeria and Italian market. The owners themselves came out and greeted our table, which immediately impressed me and set the tone. This place is truly family-run. A husband and wife from Hawaii and Italy who have created something similar to the movie "Nonna". Then there's the wood-burning oven that sits glowing in the kitchen, the kind that makes that perfect blister and char. We ordered the Burrata y Speck pizza ($23). San Marzano tomatoes, whole burrata, cherry tomatoes, basil, speck, and Parmigiano. It was outstanding! The crust is PERFECTLY crisp! Funny note* Look how they shaped the pizza as a heart for us on their own....how cute! We also tried the Bruschetta, which was equally excellent. For drinks, we shared a bottle of blood orange sparkling wine, which might have been the most refreshing thing I've had all day. A couple of things worth noting: - First, like most small Italian eateries, dining here is communal as space is limited. You might get your own table, or you might end up dining along fellow pizza lovers. Roll the dice and enjoy the experience. - Second, if you order something to go at the counter, remember to pick it up before leaving. I ordered the cannoli ahead of time to take with me, and completely forgot to take them with me on the way out. My fault. My only real suggestion for Via Rosa (should they need more business) is to lean into the curb appeal a bit more. This place deserves to be discovered IMO, but right now it's so subtle from the road that many people will drive right past without even realizing what they are missing. Which would be a shame because if you stop, you'll find a tiny slice of Italy tucked away on Bainbridge Island! Will ABSOLUTELY be back. 5 stars.

We have eaten all across Western WA with many disappointing recommendations but this one blew us away. First things first. Make a reservation. There is almost always a wait and cant imagine how long it would be without one. Great small place with an electric vibe as soon as you walk in. It has that homey chaotic feel as it is a smaller place, very busy but still very inviting. We were met by Papa who is hilarious and just sets the tone for the experience here. All of the staff are very engaging and have wonderful personalities as well as are very proficient in their positions. This place is very much dinner and a show. It was great just watching the mechanics of how everyone worked together and interacted with each other as well as customers. We sat at the bar and I ordered a drink while my wife ordered a handmade lemonade. (she does not like the sugary ones from the gun so the bartender made her one from scratch-she loved it). There are 2 menus, the traditional menu and the specials board. We were served homemade bread with oil and balsamic and also ordered a Caesar salad to split for a starter. I ordered the lasagna from the traditional menu and my wife ordered the Pork Belly Cannelloni from the specials board, both were absolutely delicious. You can tell they make their pastas from scratch as the texture was spot on. The flavor combination for the cannelloni was something I had never had and might be my favorite pasta dish I have ever had. We couldn't finish the portions that were given to us and we were excited to get to enjoy them again at home the next day. We did order the Creme Brulé Cheesecake to take as well and that was also delicious. We got the check and had to relook at the bill to make sure they got everything. For the level and quality of food, we expected the bill to be much higher. Overall we cannot recommend this place enough. We live in Renton and would easily make the drive to eat here in Anacortes with no hesitation. This is our current new favorite restaurant and can't wait to come back.

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.
