Very reminiscent of California Pizza Kitchen's BBQ chicken pizza but without the BBQ sauce, sweetness, or cilantro. I am a big foodie but I thought this flatbread was average and unmemorable. The service was great though. The waitress was very attentive and checked on us frequently. It would be tough though if the place were full. It's a great place for drinks and cocktails and a place to relax. I'm sure it will be popular. I'm glad I tried it but I'd like to try other places before going back there.

Food is most likely not made in site, but was a nice addition to the flight. WA wines are winning me over to moving here. Cheers and SYOY!

The place was packed and we ended up having to wait by the door for fifteen minutes before being seated. I wish there was more space by the entryway because it made the wait so awkward. Our server, Kaylee, was super friendly once we got seated and patiently answered all our questions. She brought over every bottle of alcohol my mom and dad asked about and even let her smell them. The menu was so huge it was difficult to decide on what to order. My family settled on sharing the hot chicken wings in buffalo sauce appetizer and the triple pig pizza. Both tasted exactly like we expected and were flavourful and delicious. For dessert I asked about the chef's special which ended up being apple pie à la mode! I was super excited to order it and it was the best apple pie I've ever had in my entire life. Even my mom who doesn't normally like pie was totally obsessed with how yummy it was. We loved our first taste of this local restaurant and we can't wait to come back again to try more of their humongous menu.

She poured the small rest of my wine into a new glass rather than bringing a refill or leaving me my other glass to finish; very uncouth. The bread "appetizer" was bland and dry; not sure why you wouldn't provide bread with olive oil/balsamic vinegar to dip rather than just the slightest drizzle on a toasted crostini. The bruschetta trio was unshareable: 3 types of bruschetta but they expect you to cut them yourself if you intend for both people to get to try each type in the trio. My gnocchi was gummy and stuck to my mouth and the pancetta was either the smallest piece of pancetta you've ever seen or the fattiest piece of pancetta you've ever seen; not worth $32. Unpleasant experience and we won't be back.

They have a long cocktail menu but literally no alcohol free options/mocktails, so I got a tall orange juice for $4.50. The guac and chips were good but at $13 a little steeper than I'd usually be willing to pay, but we had a mystery gift card as part of a promotion, so we thought we'd splurge in case it was a large gift card - in other words, the marketing campaign worked on me! PS - the servers did their best but were SO understaffed on a rainy Sunday evening, so we tipped 20% even though everything was slow and we hardly saw any employees.

Cute bathroom.

A mixed experience overall. The food was decent--nothing particularly memorable, but still…read moreenjoyable. The pasta was cooked well and flavors were solid, just not anything that really stood out or made me eager to come back for a specific dish. The space was very loud, making it difficult to have a relaxed conversation, and the bright lighting took away from what I'd usually expect to be a warm, cozy Italian dining experience. What really stood out was the service. It was exceptional from start to finish--attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. The staff clearly care about their guests, and that made a big difference in the overall experience. In summary: decent food, less-than-ideal ambiance, but truly outstanding service.

Drinks are also good. Staff has always been very helpful, attenyive, and friendly. Very fast with their service even when packed. I belive both restrooms are for everyone. The only con I see is that one has 2 toilets but there is no door. So maybe sharing the whole bathroom it with someone you know only? Haha The thing is that the second toilet is right where the sink is, and there is a big mirror. So no privacy.

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. Very intimate dining room with seating for around 35 people max. Nice red cloth table cloths. Our waiter was Luis. 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.

The staff was very helpful in allowing us to select the table most likely to be quiet.

The decor of the restaurant was charming and the service was perfect -- we were given enough time to peruse the menu and then the waiter came by to answer questions. Throughout the meal the waiter checked on our satisfaction with the food, but was not intrusive. And both of us were pleased with our orders. I chose an enchilada and my friend had a chile relleno.
