    We got 2 Half Garlic Bread!  It was that good!
    Mayu D.

    Don't get scared! The restaurant may look dark inside and no one may be seated, but you will have a great time! Food is really good, too! Ambiance -3/5. It looks like a charming old town Italian restaurant. Service - 4/5, very attentive and warm. Food - 4/5. The chef used to be a baker apparently. Their garlic bread is so scrumptious. Their calamari in tomato sauce and carbonara were pretty good. The tagliatelle with wild mushrooms were very tasty. Their house wine, Chianti and Sauvignon Blanc were both good, too! We'd definitely come back here again even though this is middle of nowhere.

    Food is really great! Ingredients are super fresh and can tell it is all from scratch cooking. The chef/owner is very friendly and served me personally on a slow night. Need more people to come here to support this business!! It is so nice and quiet to relax and have a good meal here. Brought my mom here from out of town. She loved it.

    Tiramisu

    We came for a spontaneous weekday dinner since the power at home out for hours. This place is cute little gem in Redmond Ridge. They were understaffed but still provided good service with great food. I had the eggplant parmigiana, which was delicious! The mushroom ravioli had a milder flavor but I still enjoyed it. We had tiramisu for dessert, simply divine. Overall, I'd come back. Happy eating!

    Fettuccini

    Perhaps I had high expectations given all the five star reviews I have seen on yelp. First of all the service is excellent. The food is okay. For example fettuccine was definitely over cooked far from Al dente. The salad was also just okay and was similar to what you find in a box at a convenient store. The grilled chicken in the pasta was also okay. The bread was a bit oily.

    Wild Mushroom Ravioli

    Really cute new Italian place on the Eastside! The ambiance inside is very rustic and cozy, making this a great place for date night. I tried the Mushroom Ravioli and it was both tasty and filling. The dishes are definitely a bit overpriced for what they are, but not outrageous.

    Came here for dinner on a Saturday at 6:30. There were many tables already filled. It's a small restaurant trying to be elegant. There are white table cloths which usually is a reason I don't pick a restaurant because the prices are higher and yes they are. It's a nice meal if you want something special but if you go out often it's too pricey. The food is delicious. The service is adequate. The complimentary bread is to die for- it has a olive oil wetness with the right amount of garlic I guess. I could eat a basket of that by myself! We had ordered the spinach tortellini and the pear/gorgonzola ravioli which is pictured here. This dish was very good. The spinach tortellini was okay but wouldn't order it again. My neighbor ordered the eggplant parmigiana. He said ir was good. It wasn't breaded so that was different. Yes, I recommend this place.

    Pork carnitas
    Nanci T.

    This was my first time here. We decided to try it for Cinco de Mayo. When we arrived, the place had three tables of people. When we were leaving, they had quite a few waiting for a table. The menu, while not as expansive as some Mexican restaurants, had a good variety of dishes. I chose the pork carnitas and my husband had the shrimp burrito. I tried the beans and rice first. I was struck by the flavors I tasted. I even remarked to my husband that it was delicious. I tried each individually and discerned that the main flavor profile came from the rice. It was delicious. Then I tried the pork. It was crispy, juicy, and tasted authentic. My husband's burrito was very tasty. It was filled with prawns, not tiny shrimp. The red sauce was flavorful, not overly spicy. It was extremely well-cooked. The salsa and chips were good. The chips could have been warm. We usually need to order pico de gallo as most of the salsas are too spicy. This was roasted so lots of flavor and the spice hit the front of your tongue and then tapered off. It was very good. My raspberry margarita was amazing. I'm not a drinker but ordered this on a whim. It had a lot of alcohol but you couldn't really taste it. The drink was my favorite part. I will have another one the next time I go. They also serve breakfast which I will need to try. My only hesitancy in giving a 5-star review, besides the cold chips, is that the service was slightly slower than I like. We got our food quickly but to get our bill or to get our take-home boxes took longer than normal.

They have a busy lunch rush so if you don't want the crowd, come during off hours. It can be pretty hectic and loud. I came for the promotion of 50% off focaccia sandwich but also got a pasta and a couple of sides Focaccia sandwich with crispy chicken -- usually ~$14. It was a good sandwich, the flavor was good. I think the bread itself could be softer though. Also I think I should have gotten a different sandwich since the crispy chicken enhance the toughness of the sandwich, it needs soft things to balance it out. Bacon truffle pasta -- flavor was spot on, the pasta maybe a little too al dente for me but it wasn't too bad. Crispy risotto croquet -- my kids love this, cheesy and crispy. Canoli - I never had a canoli before so I thought this was good. Crispy layer and soft filling. Overall a good place for Italian food, price is affordable as well.

New menu tonight, first the Panzela (most likely mispelled this) was delicious, a medley of vegs and croutons in a pesto was great and probably the best of the night honestly. 4.5 Stars. The chicken smelled, and looked great, but was just too chicken "breasty" if you know what I mean. Just a bit bland and plain, needed a bit more salt. The skin was well cooked and you do need to wait just a tad longer for the prep on this. It is a solid dish but nothing special. Could I eat it multiple times, probably, great protein. 3.5 Stars. King Salmon and the prep around it was very nicely done. Fresh, healthy, clean, buttttttt overcooked. Asked for medium rare plus and the moment I saw the char I knew it would be overcooked. While still good, it just had too much orange if you know what I mean and not enough delicate touch to it. If done right, definitely could see myself ordering this often. But it was disappointing to have my salmon overcooked. 3.5 Stars. I think this is a very quaint, nice ambiance, neighborhood restaurant. Not a destination restaurant though. Sorry. The service and the potential however makes it promising.

    Can not recommend this restaurant. Food was sub-par and simply not good. Very overpriced…read more Specifically, the spaghetti bolognese was dry and had virtually no sauce. Portions were quite small. The chicken with pesto was just ok. Nothing to justify the price. The grilled vegetables were undercooked and lukewarm. Service was mediocre.

The one star is for the service otherwise I would have made a note saying it deserved none. The waiter was polite, efficient, eager. He was great. I enjoyed his confidence and I appreciated his transparency. His recommendations? Not so much. I have regrets. We should have ordered the drinks and then left. We should have spoken up. My friend should not have eaten everything, but whether it was simply high hunger that drove my friend to clear both our plates or his upbringing that would not allow any food to go to waste or complaint heard I do not know. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara which had no flavor, pasty sauce, and the most basic grocery-store bought noodles I have ever eaten. I tried adding salt and Parmesan cheese - anything for flavor - and like a black hole that captured light the dish refused flavor. I ate a quarter of it and tapped out. My friend ordered another dish and plowed through mine and his, drank his wine, and said nothing. As he paid and we left he simmered with anger and when I inquired why he said that the wine tasted like a bottle that sat in too hot of conditions and had a most acidic taste of an spoiled wine. He noted his displeasure of the dishes they were out of stock on (no lasagna, no calamari available) and the fact that it was the worst Italian food he had ever eaten. He said my noodles tasted like glue. I don't know why he drank the horrible wine or ate mine and his food, except that he was hungry, but he was cranky for the rest of the day. I just realize how unlikely I will return.

Arriving early, we had a drink at the bar where the service was excellent and the atmosphere was peacefully quiet. Just note that the noise level climbs significantly as the night goes on, and the drinks are a steep investment at $25 a pop for an Old Fashioned and a whiskey on the rocks. Dinner service was a mixed experience between the food, waiter, and support staff. The support staff were exceptional at delivering food and clearing the table. However, our primary waiter was rushing the experience, never established a relationship, and didn't sync up our drink flights with our entrees. The absolute worst experience occurred at the end of our meal. The hosts crammed a party of five into an adjacent table for four, resulting in the fifth guest sitting on the bench seating within an inch of my wife's personal space, completely disregarding our experience to seat this excessively large group. The message was clear: your time is up, please leave, or we don't care about your experience. It's a shame because the kitchen doesn't miss a beat, but this blatant disrespect and premature seating is unacceptable.
