The charred broccoli was great the gnocchi was also pretty good
by Daniel M.
Oyster HH: $1.50 - 5-6p daily then 10pm-close
by Charles K
I loved their bigoli pasta with anchovies, mint, and chili. A little spice with buckwheat noodles - yummy! The oysters were pretty fresh too!
by Kaitlin D
Power Hour at 10 is the best, $1.50 oysters, $11 pastas

Small plates
by Daniel S.
Fairly average Italian-inspired food. Expect plenty of olive oil and subtle, almost minimal flavors. Excellent appetizers, skip the mains.
by Stefan
Smoked fish crostini
by Jordan C
If they only served the smoked fish crostini I would be completely fine with that.
by Jordan C
The tasting menu is a great value and you get a chance to try a ton of stuff from the menu.

Crab pasta and scallion oysters
by Kat Turtle
Mediocre compared to How to Cook a Wolf. Uni wasn't very fresh. Pastas were good though.
by Sherry L.
The pasta needed some seasoning but overall tasty food. The servers are quite helpful in pacing and course selection!
by Tana B.
I wish all Happy Hours looked like this.
by Danny Wirtz
Very good Italian restaurant. Friend ordered a clam pasta, amazingly delicious. Good atmosphere too.
by Mingfei Y.
mediocre geoduck crudo. Nice pasta texture though!
by Agatha Y.
Dalis Chea, chef of Fresh Bistro, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Crudo.
by Chefs Feed
The ever-changing dinner menu offers appetizers like fried chickpeas with smoked paprika and lemon, pasta dishes like the squid ink spaghetti neri, and entrees like black cod with pickled cippolini.
by AFAR Media
Meyer lemon pudding cake is a definite must
by Michelle R.
Bigoli is really good. And the scallop and pork belly is awesome as well.
by Mingfei Y.
Excellent service and good drinks, but definitely not gluten-free or dairy-free friendly.
by Lauren B.
Maybe an off night? Very expensive and not very good.
by Sarah U.
If you're relying on their host to accurately keep your phoned in reservation , don't. They totally botched my reservation and had no explanation for it. Awesome.
by Johan L.
Everything tastes like butter. It's not necessarily a good thing if you like complex flavors.
by Tara R.
Prominent Seattle chef Ethan Stowell's seafood outlet. A great place for lovers of all things fresh: seafood, vegetables, and pasta. Don't skip the crudo section (think Italian sashimi).

by Amy J.
Loved every bite I had here. Don't skip the crudos. Fettucini, red pepper risotto, and halibut are all great ways to go for entrees.
by Christine S.
Get the Red Pepper Risotto w/ mussels over the Bigoli. Tuna Crudo is awesome .. End the meal w/ Pistachio Liqueur
by Yatharth G.
Order the bigoli.
by Pam M.
Power hour is definitely the way to go.

Best pasta dish in Seattle.... Bigoli!
by Anthony D.
Waiter Ethan is awesome. Let him pick out your meal and you will walk away happy! We now understand food porn!
by Kari T
Had the octopus crudi (nice and spicy), followed by Primi of Fried Oysters. Pastas are fresh so try more than one. The bucatini carbonara is great and the tagliatelle with mussels is awesome.
by Grace C.
Had the server pick dishes for us--crudo, swordfish, clam risotto, and panne cotta were all wonderful.
by Wine & Swine
A must for fresh oysters. The octopus salad with sherry vinaigrette is also a specialty.
by ToryBurch
Small place but loud so you can't overhear your neighbors. I didn't realize seafood focused meant seafood only. But it was great. Anchovy, garlic and chili pasta did it for me.
by Oliver G.
The swordfish is amazing
by Soyon I.
Must Order: Mackerel with shallot and walnut agrodolce, seared prawns with salsa verde, and geoduck crudo.
by Bon Appetit Magazine
The real draw here is the Esca-esque raw plates. Five slices of tender scallop support diced piquillo and serrano peppers and morsels of ruby grapefruit—a perfect composition.

We were not impressed.
by Nikki C.
Ethan Stowell’s Anchovies and Olives may not be quite what you were expecting.
by Seattle Met
The focus is seafood. The menu opens with crudo (Italy's sashimi) and moves on to appetizers, pastas and entrees, all subject to change. Right now is spring themed. Crudo is accessorized in pink/green
by The Seattle Times
Great music and great service! The gnocchi with prosciutto is awesome
by Luke H.
Do not leave without trying the brussel sprouts! They are absolutely amazing and likely the best you've had.
by Sean T.
Not surprising...best olive plate ever!
by Tracey M.
Try the soft boiled eggs with anchovies. It's delicious!
