    A wonderful gem of a place hidden away in Alki. Great food and service, a lovely romantic ambience too. Busy, and deservedly so.

    Intimate, great ambience, stellar sunset views and delicious food. Servers are professional and have a hustle to their step as they move carefully between the close tables. Worth every penny.

    Entrees are a good size, tiramisu is huge. Good selection of wine. Our pasta tasted authentic (compared to other places in seattle)

    Order the Carbonara and ask the chef to make sure the pancetta is extra crispy (carmelized). This dish has a little kick and pairs great with an nice Amarone Read more

    In on year they went from 9.2 to 7.2. REHEATED PASTA. Awful bread. 'Cup of wine, please' it was horrible. But the pasta... Wow... Horrible. Today my wife and I are sick. Thanx La Rustica

    Gnocchi was delicious, but i got the one with house-made sausage and red sauce and the sausage was not good. There's a lamb version, I think that might be better. Lady at the next table had lasagna an

    Not bad. A little cramped for a for top, food was decent though. All in all it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that fantastic either. I would try another entree again.

    Amazing sleepy beach location. Get off Alki and come experience some upscale Italian cuisine.

    Food is sub par and wait staff is horrendous. Spend your hard earned money where they deserve and appreciate your business!
