Fish • Steak • Pasta • Salad
"Thursday October 6th evening. So I honestly do feel bad about writing this review I should've reached out and talked to the wait staff and perhaps the line cooks whom I had chatted with before seating for my meal. I was excited when I looked at the reviewson Google maps since I only live a couple blocks away and didn't feel like making my own meal that night and was intrigued bythe fresh made pasta. The restaurant was quite attractive however this is the exact type of restaurant that you would avoid atall costs when in the home land of Italy. The staff was quite courteous and found me a single seat with a view outside on thepatio. I was feeling hungry and was looking forward to having some to go items for the next day so I ordered the salad and thespaghetti dish. I inquired with the waiter if the spaghetti had actual fresh and acciuga fish on it. This would have made thedish absolutely spectacular. I was informed it was the dried salty version with garlic and butter present. I went ahead withmy order. Both the salad and the spaghetti were brought out in a timely manner however the salad was absolutely a black pepperfest and that dominated the dish. Now I'm a person who could withstand many different strong flavors with Seattle having manycuisines to sample from but black pepper over ruling a green salad is a bit much. Also I'm a sensitive person and suffer frompoisoning when eating sulfited material which I believe happened here from the green's. The pasta unfortunately was even lessexciting than the salad there was no clear present prominent flavor to talk of a distant fishy taste was present. Garlic nevermade it even to the midway of the flavor palate. Now I do like a pasta cooked Al dente however this pasta was a bit like a hardpretzel in the middle of it. The waiter was however most kind when I requested a custom non alcoholic drink and furnished that.However after spending $37 with a 20% tip I had to throw away The Leftovers for risk of"
