The calamari antipasto was either fake calamari or the dish had fish sauce added to it, very unappealing.
The risotto was very salty and had a bland flavor.
My partner was getting aggressive vibes from the waiter. It didn't bother me but she didn't like it.
When we arrived there was a real pianist playing music, however they stopped shortly after. Nice atmosphere nonetheless.
EDIT: I ordered the gnocchi and it was good. I asked to order a side of sausage (the meal needs protein) and they said that they couldn't do it, but they did offer chicken. The chicken was good but I would have preferred sausage.
My husband and I ate at this restaurant for our one year wedding anniversary and 9th year anniversary dinner last night and we really liked it. It reminded me of the food I ate in Rome which was fantastic. Our server was really nice and always checking on us and reassuring that food will come out soon.
Service: So before people go in and complain about the service, you need to understand that there were only two people serving, and I think the owner was doing both server and bartending tasks, but they were very polite and they worked very efficiently together. Our server has memorized all of the orders without any pens or tablets, and we ordered a good amount of food for just the two of us. And when she handed us the check, she was being super sweet and asked if we had any complaints please let her know, which of course we didn't. We were happy with her service.
Food: everything tasted great and authentic. We had order the Luca pizza which has sausage and mushrooms and linguini di mare (seafood linguini) to start. They also bring you bread ($4) in the beginning before you order. I loved the pasta to seafood ratio, and the sauce was my favorite. I was dipping bread in the leftover sauce while waiting for our next entrees. For protein dishes we got the filet mignon and veal, which both were cooked to perfection and husband and I loved the sauce on the veal. But filet mignon sauce, next time we will most likely ask if they can keep it on the side so we can adjust how much sauce we want on the meat. It's just a preference, I like tasting the meat more than the sauce. And finally we finished with a cappuccino flavored cheesecake and tiramisu, OMG these desserts were amazing! Husband and I couldn't eat tiramisu for a while because we had some of the best in Rome back in May so we were thankful that this restaurant did not disappoint. We look forward to going back to try their cannoli and panna cotta next time.
Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Good food, good service, good vibes 👍
Best authentic Italian food I've ever had so far in WA. Romantic atmosphere setting. Perfect for date night dinner spot! And don't forget the top notch service from Eric!
