Love this little gem! From the moment I walked in, welcomed with live music, to the great Late Happy Hour menu, it was a great experience

Romantic restaurant nestled in the heart of the Pike Place Market...the gnocchi is always good as are the seafood selections. Enjoy!

One of the Market's best and most underappreciated happy-hours. Has an expanded and discounted menu of crostini, ravioli and seafood-style tapas, all under $5. Happy hour 5-6:30, 10-12 S-Th, 11-1 F-Sa Read more

Lamb lasagne is one of the best I've had. Linguini di mare is also very good!

Like happy hours? Belly up to the bar on Sundays from 5-6:30 PM and eat/drink like a king for under fifteen bucks. $3 primitivos and $5 calamari is a weekly ritual now.

Excellent Italian food at the foot of Pike Place. Open late compared to many other nearby restaurants. Takes opentable reservations.

Awesome Italian food, quaint atmosphere, reasonably priced. Definite spot for guys to take girls on a 2nd date, that is, if the 1st date went well.

Great late night happy hour. Get either of the ravioli dishes off of the happy hour menu or the calamari. Make sure to get bread for dipping. Yum!

Went for restaurant week and it was disappointing, won't visit again. They should use the opportunity to put their best food forward.

Thanks, Uncle Larry!

Happy hour selection is mediocre along with the quality of the food. Too many better options downtown to settle for this.

Extremely rude! Too many other places to dine in this fine city.

A bit overprice and there is nothing special about the food.
Ray PoormanJanuary 23, 2010
The carpaccio is. Awesome
