"Best ITALIAN RESTAURANT quite possibly in the world! Bring your credit card cha-Ching! and yet, hope someone who loves you lots, treats you to this magical place! It is intimate. It is a hidden little jewelbox of a restaurant that has about 14 tables. The wait staff is impeccable. The food is perfection. The entire experience is enchanting, and it will send your taste buds straight to heaven, not wanting to return back to earth. Mmmmmmm.... You cannot find an average meal here. I just found out that this family owns vivi pizzeria in Woodinville... And they are phenomenal too. But there is nothing quite as special as this little treasure box of a place. Step back into time and have the most...

We've been here before, but this time, we had Rick (the owner) serve us, and he made our anniversary even more special. I'm sure everyone else there felt just as special. Great food, great experience, nice atmosphere, friendly people... What more can you ask for?! We're looking forward to going back. Eat here with confidence you'll have an enjoyable time.

There is nothing to not like about this cute little restaurant. The ambience is more on the romantic side but not overly dramatic. Ok get to the food! That's all you really care about anyways right? Makes sense. It's delicious! I typically am not a fan of Italian restaurants, they often lack flavor. This place did not disappoint. I had the Caesar salad, it was good but definitely not like your typical Caesar salad. It's also on smaller side, Italian style! I enjoyed it. Then I had the short rib ravioli and I licked my plate. My friend had the lamb shank and very much enjoyed it. The tiramisu was good but not spectacular. The service was good and overall I'm excited to go back.

I had a great time dining with friends but I was less than impressed with the restaurant itself. I will first start out by sharing that the service is phenomenal and it basically is the reason I didn't give this place two stars. Having just gotten back from Italy a few months ago, I was beyond excited to enjoy Italian food that would take me back to that breathtaking vacation experience. The food left a bit to be desired. I ordered a side caesar salad, the lobster ravioli with prawns, and the tiramisu. Of all 3 dishes, the salad was the most impressive all around; it had unique flavors and the most wonderful dressing. The lobster ravioli was very rich but had no lobster flavor anywhere aroun...
