First of all, this used to be an Italian restaurant. When it reopened as a breakfast place I asked…read moreif the reason they kept the same name was so they didn't have to pay for a new lit sign, and I was told that was correct--makes sense as those signs aren't cheap. The problem here is that in keeping the same name the reviews and overall rating reflect both the previous Italian and the current breakfast restaurants, which doesn't provide a realistic overall view of it. It's also why it's still being reported as closed. This might be more of a Yelp problem but it's still nevertheless a problem. Regardless, I gave two stars and that's being generous. The waiter was friendly and the service prompt but that's only a small part of the equation. The main breakfast dishes contain four eggs which sounds generous but really, who eats four eggs in one sitting? The only "light" options are for "seniors and children"; there was no omelet offered there and those options are only for one egg. Weird that the choices are too much or too little. I was able to ask for a two-egg omelet and the waiter was gracious by offering me a $2 discount though the cook still used four eggs. That would have been fine but what I got wasn't a traditional omelete as everyone knows it. I asked for link sausage and swiss cheese and it was really a kind of scramble--it wasn't an omelet at all, it was flat and the combination of eggs and cheese seemed to lead me to believe that the eggs may have been underdone. There was either way too much cheese or it was of inferior quality (maybe both). Either way it was unappetizing and I barely ate any of it. For a breakfast of this size I would expect two pieces of toast and got only one. I asked for the hash browns to be crispy and they weren't. My wife got the senior scramble with cheddar and bacon, and the menu wasn't clear about the meat--she thought the bacon would be on the side but it was actually in the scramble. She said it was just ok. With the tip it came to close to $50 (with two cups of coffee, which was ok), which is still too much for a breakfast that was lacking in quality. The menu is enormous and the other breakfast and lunch items sounded interesting, but this first experience doesn't instill a lot of confidence for anything else they offer, to me at least. Readers may feel differently based on the other, more positive reviews for the breakfasts seen here but based on this visit we probably won't be back, and if nothing else be forewarned that what they call an omelet just isn't.

One of our favorite places to stop when we're up on the Pass. We originally found it for a very…read morespecific reason--they don't use rosemary in their food, which is huge for me since I'm very allergic. Because of that alone, I instantly felt like I could trust them... and now I absolutely love this place. The food is wonderful, the service is great, and even though it's a small space, they do an amazing job with everything. I'm obsessed with the manicotti--I can easily eat the whole thing, which is not typical for me at all. It's that good. My guy's dish was generous too, but a bit heavy on the oil for his taste, so he didn't finish it. Still, definitely worth the stop. The wine, the manicotti, and the cozy vibe make it a perfect little Italian escape every time.

i'm pretty conflicted on how to review this to get it…read morestarted, the starter bread was pretty cold, although the garlic butter spread was fantastic i ordered the baked three cheese gnocchi, but asked to have the prawns removed when this dish came, you could tell it had been freshly baked in a huge bowl however, when i took my first bite - it was basically nothing but cheese throughout each spoonful thereafter yielded the same - there was nothing but pure cheese throughout, and while i like cheese, this was just way too much i wasn't a fan of the gnocchi itself either i got through about 1/3 of this dish before i decided it was enough, and didn't ask to have the rest boxed up or anything i guess i'm not sure what i expected - removing the prawns from the dish would come with a ton of cheese, and the cheese is made clear in the description, but i expected less cheese overall or at least a bit of something different this normally would be a pretty negative review, but the reason i'm still positive overall is the other food was quite good the other people at my table ordered a margherita pizza and the fusilli primavera - and after giving up on my dish, i tried their food the pizza was excellent - i especially (ironically) loved the solid layer of cheese that was a perfectly warm temperature. It wasn't too thin either I (and the others) also really enjoyed the fusilli primavera - the pasta was really nice and soft, and the vegetables were cooked well. there was a nice amount of oil that coated everything to impart good flavor i also ordered the cannoli as a dessert this was interesting - the outer shell was really hard and crunchy - which was nice, and the inner filling wasn't as sweet as you'd expect from a dessert - as it was more cheesy - but i still thought it was decent the fruits tasted strange for some reason, though lastly, i do think the portion sizes were pretty impressive for the price. this was most apparent when it came to the pizza, but the pasta, desserts, and even my gnocchi were all quite large - and each all under 20 dollars i will give this restaurant props for removing 9 dollars off the price of my gnocchi after i asked to have the prawns removed - it's something that a lot of places wouldn't do - and that was nice to see

We were immediately seated and accommodated for our growing party. The ambiance was cozy and…read moreinviting for small gatherings. We ordered the Tortini del melenzane (baked eggplant dish) and rigatoni zii Teresa (pesto cream pasta). The rigatoni was cooked to a nice al dente and had good flavor. The creamy pesto was very tasty and the artichokes and mushrooms were cooked well. The baked eggplant was a little underwhelming but seasoned enough. For dessert we shared the New York style cheesecake which sadly did disappoint. The red sauce drizzled tasted artificial and the cheesecake itself was so so. Edit: we came back a second time because we wanted to try some of the other dishes. I enjoyed my gnocchi. It was very light and had a savory cheesy tomato sauce. The spaghetti pomodoro had a plainer tomato sauce but we liked the al dente cook on the pasta.

This was my second visit, and unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The food felt…read moreuninspired and overpriced for the quality provided. My chicken parm arrived soggy with a flavorless tomato sauce, and the vegetable soup was overcooked to the point of being mushy. In speaking with friends who dine here more often, the consensus seems to be that while the menu is extensive, you have to be very selective with what you order. However, if a restaurant chooses to offer a large menu, the quality should be consistent across the board. Given how poorly these staples were executed, I won't be returning.

We'd ordered…read moretake out before, but for some reason had never made it in to dine in-person until now, and let me tell you - I wish we hadn't waited this long. It was delicious and I cannot think of a better pasta place in the area! While it is on the pricier end for Italian (think ~$28 per dish for pasta) it was well worth it - everyone cleared their plates. I ordered the Gnocchi Primavera (hold the veggies, per the recommendation of our server) and it was divine. My husband had the Fettuccine al Salmone fumanto and said it was perfection. My mom had the Scampi di Gamberi and said it was amongst the best she's had. Both of my kiddos smashed on their kids pasta with red sauce. While the food was delicious, the team serving us is what made it top notch. They were tentative (but not annoying), helpful, patient, and friendly. This was certainly a Valentine's Day for the books and I cannot wait to come back again for date night - this place is arguably the best Italian around!

Took a trip through Whidbey and Fidalgo island this weekend. From the moment we landed on Whidbey,…read morethis was the place that everyone said we can't miss. They were not wrong. 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.

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.

We were in the covered patio and it was heated, which worked well since it got cooler and rainy within a few minutes of us getting there. Their ambiance is casual and they have servers but you don't end up interacting much with them. We ordered the margherita pizza, the funghi e tartufo, the hot lovers pasta with shrimp (level 3 spice), the spinach ravioli. Everything was delicious. My personal favorite was the mushroom pizza and the hot lovers pasta. The pasta definitely had a kick to it for level 3. The shrimp could have been replaced with alternative meat option because it didn't absorb the sauce like I would have liked it to. The ravioli was done well. The margherita was very tasty. They gave bread with the pasta but it was just super bland and there was no olive oil or butter with it. Overall, decent place to come and get a quick, filling meal. They could work on their table accompaniments more.

My personal favorite is the seafood linguine, and my husband always gets a pasta dish with spicy sausage and chicken that he loves. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality. The atmosphere is welcoming and family-friendly. Most of the seating is in booths, which we prefer, and we've never had to wait too long, even on busy weekend nights. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they really make you feel at home. My kids are obsessed with the mac & cheese (the portion is huge!) and the chicken with mashed potatoes. One of the things I appreciate most is how thoughtful they are with kids. They cover the tables in paper and hand out crayons so the little ones can draw. The servers even write their names on the table, which adds a sweet personal touch and helps keep everyone entertained while we wait for our food. They also have a great wine list, which is a nice bonus. We always leave with happy bellies and big smiles. Toscano's is the kind of place you keep coming back to and we do!

It was a short drive from Maple Valley. Easy to find parking nearby. We were early for our reservation, but they warmly welcomed us and seated us right away.

He has been working for this Restaurant for eight years now he shared and did an outstanding job. He recommended antipasti starter platter that was delicious. Are entrées were perfectly prepared. Fresh vegetables, and seafood in both dishes. Our server constantly monitored our table for water, glass refills, and removed any empty plates we had. He suggested several things to cap off the evening and we ended up getting the tiramisu. Absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend this if you're looking for great authentic Italian cuisine in the Maple Valley/Issaquah area.
