I've been a regular at Ananas for about a year, and reading some of the recent reviews honestly…read moresurprised me. Karin has taken care of us countless times, whether it's a quiet Monday or an absolutely packed one due to the events at the town hall across the street, and they have always been warm, patient, and accommodating. I actually celebrated my birthday here because it's one of my favorite spots. I am part of the large group that one of the recent negative reviews is referring to. It happened immediately after the USA FIFA match, and the restaurant was the busiest I've ever seen it. Despite that, Karin still went out of their way to accommodate our requests that normally wouldn't be possible due to the rush, including trying to help with separate tabs when they'd already explained that large groups would likely need to stay on one check. As for things like grabbing water, silverware, plates, or chili flakes...our table had already gotten those before a majority of the group arrived. It's a casual pizzeria, on one of their busiest days ever. Setting and cleaning up the table (especially when seated outside) is not a problem for our group as we do it every week. Which is why it's upsetting that we opened our spot to someone that left such a nasty review. What stood out to me wasn't poor service. It's that despite how overwhelming it must have been to work post-FIFA, Karin was able to take orders, bartend, serve food, and close out checks with professionalism. Sometimes no matter how much effort someone puts in, not everyone leaves happy. The pizza is fantastic! I love showing up every week and trying what new slice they have come up with (in the year that I've been coming here there legit hasn't been a repeat). The atmosphere is great and the staff, especially Karin, have earned our loyalty over the past year. We'll absolutely continue coming back.

Have been going to this neighborhood spot every week for a year with friends, such a great spot…read morefor a casual bite. The reason my friends and I keep coming back is the main bartender Karin, who's always so adept at managing large parties w folks coming/going, including being honest with us about if there is time to split checks or order as a table, a pretty common thing at a smaller spot. I was here after recent World Cup game and had great service (compared to the review below by Paula P)! I was actually at the table where Paula came and sat and will say that the majority of our table were provided exceptional service, so it was a shock to read that other review of the same experience. Anyways, I highly recommend Ananas especially their special pizzas, which are often so g

Service was excellent, nice wine pours by Daniela, and we were pleased to start with a complimentary gnocci starter. My burrata salad was fresh and flavorful, and our son enjoyed his spicy ink squid clam pasta. My husband enjoyed his carbonara. Definitely a great place for an upscale meal, and very popular, so make reservations for this small restaurant.

I was really excited to try this restaurant. The starter focaccia was excellent and I couldn't wait…read moreto try the squid ink spaghetti. The ambiance and vibe were nice for a company lunch. Well, I found a rotten clam in my spaghetti. The clam was closed at first, so I pried it open and found it black, festering, and moldy inside. I told the waiter and his reaction was extremely nonchalant. He said he would tell the chef, but "this happens sometimes" and "we never know what the clams eat." He then told me I could "put it on this plate" that he was taking away - meaning, use my fork I was eating with to do so and contaminate the rest of my dish even further. At this point, I'd lost all my appetite. It wasn't until I'd left the restaurant that I processed how wrong this situation was. I did some research on bad shellfish and found that shellfish food poisoning can cause nausea and diarrhea at best, paralysis and death at worst, and that symptoms can take hours to days to start. I should have taken a picture of the rotten clam, but nevertheless, I'm very disappointed with this experience. The rotten clam was bad, but the reaction (or lack thereof) was infinitely worse. I hate to leave negative reviews, especially when the food itself is great, but I need to put this out there as a warning.

A Beautiful day for sure to display the 12's pride and joy parading down 4th St on foot, bus, trucks, convoys and so on. Alcohol free flowing on the streets :) without malice and only good vibes. Win or Lose, we love our Seahawks, wish everyday, everywhere could have the same vibe everyday. It doesn't cost anything to be kind, spread the love. These moments give hope to humanity, in a most f'ed up world we live in right now, a day like this reminds us to always stay positive and look forward.

Quality/Quantity - Sadly, this is another city that is really going downhill…read more... The homeless population continues to grow. Our county, states, and cities really need to help these people for the improvement of all. We come here less and less often. 142+ square miles, 58+ square miles is water. Population, 2020 census = 737k+. Ambiance - So many great attractions, some of which are: The first Starbucks, expect LONG lines. Sadly, the Starbucks Reserve Roastery is now closed. Public Market, you know the one! Pike Place Market. Post Alley, Seattle Waterfront, etc. Other attractions that I have done in the past are: Space Needle, Museums, the State Ferry, parks, Locks, aquarium, zoo, gum wall (don't ever need to see more than once, lol), etc. And of course, the many great and changing restaurant scenes. Service - Overall okay. Some businesses are better than others; really a hit and miss. Many businesses really appreciate the tourists $$$; others know that they will never see us again.... Price - Reasonably priced. But of course, it depends on what you do, eat, and drink. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1851. 1865 Incorporated, town status. 1869 Incorporated, city status.

You'll absolutely leave with leftovers. Service was great, and even though they had two large parties and their payment systems were down, the staff still handled everything smoothly and professionally. Overall, a really fun dinner spot in Belltown and I'd definitely come back.

I would recommend a reservation on the busier nights as Tavolàta doesn't seat all that many people!

We're greeted immediately by the person at the front desk, pointed us to the bar, which happened to still be happy hour. The place was pretty quiet, only one other person at the bar. We were greeted immediately by Dean, who was very friendly and engaging. We were handed off to another server, I don't recall a name, as they didn't introduce themselves. We went through the extensive beer list and found a couple really good beers, in our opinion, that turned out to be really good beers. I ended up having a second beer, which turned out to be just as good as the earlier two beers. My only complaint, was that it was before happy hour was done, and no one asked us if we wanted any food. Not that we needed any, but it would've been nice to have been asked. Good job overall.
