    Italian wedding soup
    Harshmeet S.

    Had a wonderful experience visiting the cute Italian place. We were greeted well while visiting this place on Friday evening. The service was very good and I ordered the fettuccine chicken and tiramisu. They give bread and a choice of salad/soup. I took the soup and it was delicious and fresh and so was the bread with the pasta. The pasta was one of the best I have had in a long while. I absolutely loved the place and their service! The tiramisu was okay, I could have avoided ordering the dessert. Absolutely recommend this place. It is a strong 4.5

    Cute little pizza restaurant and it feels like you're in Italy. Perfect lunch spot with good lunch specials

    Half & half large pizza w/ Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza / Sicilian Special Pizza
    Han H.

    So good! And pretty decently priced for a sit down pizza restaurant. My 3 friends and I opted for the family size pasta, which comes with 2 side salads or 2 soups. We went for the large pizza which was about 12 slices. We asked for garlic crust but don't think we it :( It was quick service, and they came by and asked us how our food was at least once. Cost came out to $88. And one of us took about 3-4 slices home and maybe a half portion of pasta.

    Ravioli Aurora with Spinach

    The ravioli was great. It has a lot of veggies! The soup that came with the ravioli was very flavorful. We also enjoyed the eggplant appetizer, sour but a little sweet.

    Penne alla vodka with seafood
    Aylish T.

    We had a reservation for a party of 10 on a weeknight and Palermo truly delivered. Great quality for a really good price! Really big menu with plenty of pizzas, pastas, calzones, etc. I had the penne alla vodka with seafood. It has a creamy rose sauce that perfectly smothers the noodles and seafood. Mussels, squid, and I think shrimp were all cooked well, maybe slightly overdone but didn't matter to me lol. Mimosa yummy, wine yummy, good vibes, feels super family-oriented and the service was so kind the whole evening. We had a truly wonderful dinner that we all still talk about!

    The food is amazing! We stopped in on a Friday after 3pm and that was the best decision ever! The service was prompt and delightful. The restaurant was spotless and not noisy. The prices are reasonable and I left very happy.

    20. Zesty Bacon Pizza
    Abdullah A.

    We were ordering pizza for a party in Ballard. They readily accommodated a large order (7 extra large pizzas) same-day. When we were running ahead of schedule, they even moved up our order. Each pizza was different: cheese, veggie, antipasto (artichoke, sun dried tomato, and basil), meat lovers, BBQ chicken, zesty bacon, and arugula with prosciutto. Everything was a hit with our guests. The fan favorite was definitely the zesty bacon (bacon, pineapple, mushroom, and jalapeño). I would order that again in a heartbeat. Toppings were generously layered, with just the right amount of chewy crust. We fed everyone for less than $10 per head and had over a pizza and a half left over. A great pick for if you want to feed a group, but want to go a step up from Domino's or Pizza Hut.

    13. Pizza Provencale + Goat Cheese and Eggplant
    Nicole S.

    This was a delivery order but there was absolutely no disappointment here. The pizza was excellent, adding the goat cheese was a great move and I was so happy that when I added eggplant it was prepared expertly and tasted wonderful. We didn't eat in, so I've only had take out, but I'd love to come into the restaurant itself and have some more authentic dishes. I also ordered the chocolate covered cannoli and was so happy with how delicious it was-hence no pics

    We had a party of 10 (walk-in) and were seated immediately by friendly staff! This place is quite generous with its portion sizes, located in an adorable Ballard neighborhood Chicken fettuccine: standard, pretty solid! Salmon pappardelle: Loved the texture of pappardelle & the salmon was solid too, well-done piece of fish Seafood special: Not a fan, unfortunately. Something about the fishiness didn't mix well with the vodka sauce & seasoning. Chicken parm: again, standard and did the job! Pizza: Delicious, and it was really cute they served it to us on the little wooden paddle Overall, solid Italian food. Just a bit heavy on the flavor, oil, etc. but you won't leave hungry :)

The menu changes weekly, they try to use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. We started with cocktails. My wife got a perfect Manhattan and I asked for an east side cocktail. That was new to the bartender but she was willing and it turned out to be delicious! Great mix of mint, cucumber and lime. Then we shared 4 dishes: sardine tartine, dal soup, an heirloom tomato and cucumber salad and the halibut entree. Literally everything was delicious. I lived the flavors of the dal soup--cumin, coriander, mustard seed. The tomatoes were super fresh on top of a creamy marscapone. And the halibut was perfectly cooked, with a crispy top and flaky body. I only wish we lived here and could visit more often!

Everything was delicious! They did let us know in advance that the Dutch babies would take about 30 minutes, but it is worth the wait! It came out piping hot, oozing with blueberries and lemon ricotta! My only regret was not being able to try other things since we were headed to Pike Place right after, but I definitely do want to try their other Dutch babies / dinner items in the future!

We came in around 1:45pmish and it wasn't crowded. They had an amazing selection of pastries, though I didn't try any. I got their Caramelized Banana Latte to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it wasn't too banana-flavored nor too sweet; the black sesame in it balanced it nicely. I also got the Urban Pesto, which was SO yum. I was little skeptical of the focaccia - sometimes I find it to be too puffy, and thus hard to eat the sandwich - but this had a lovely panini press on it that made it easy to eat. The in-house herby cheese in the sandwich made each bite just that much more delicious. The staff was also super nice and accommodating to my parents' requests and questions. Can't wait to come back to try their other food and bev options!

I appreciated that this location has both spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Despite being busy, this was not packed with ample seating still available and not cramped. Nice chill vibe with good music, healthy foliage and pleasant indoor decor, with a reasonable unidirectional service line. Tempting pastry case with savory and sweet choices, the usual bevs, as well as, cocktails. Vibrant place to visit solo or meetups with others. The 16oz iced mokka (mocha) I had was well crafted. Both counter folks were personable and welcoming. I was able to sit at a two top and remain cool during my brief visit on that hot Tuesday early afternoon. They've been an indie (Cafe Hagen/Freya) that has expanded to many locations: here in SLU, two on Queen Anne, downtown on 5th, at Dexter, the Waterfront, Freya in Pike Place Market and Nordic Museum in Ballard, plus sites over in Bellevue and Kirkland.
