Reviews
We joined the grandparents here- based on their recommendation. The service was great & quick. The variety of food/pizzas was exceptional. The kids opted to share a personal cheese pizza- which was perfect for the two of them. We enjoyed the salad, some cheese breadsticks, and two variety pizzas. The pizzas were very filling for the 6 of us.
The pear pasta with Gorgonzola sauce was delicious! The butter and Gorgonzola combined to create a rich, velvety, sweet and tangy perfection. It didn't taste like overly heavy whipping cream based like others I've tried have been. The eggplant parm was not the as good but they still get five stars for offering a vegan option with the cheese and the marinara was fantastic! It was very robust with nice notes of garlic and black pepper. Service was efficient, quick, and friendly. Inside booth was casual and cozy.
Local Edmonds neighborhood Yummy gourmet pizzas. Very good salads and variety of pasta entrees. Chicken parmagiana was Spaghetti al fresca was a healthy and delicious choice. Friendly & accommodating waitstaff. Relaxed casual atmosphere for families, groups; reasonably priced compared to high end eateries in downtown Edmonds. Close proximity to ferry and Edmonds Center for the Arts but only 5 minutes away from the congested downtown area. Free parking lot. Support your small businesses and local restaurants
a local neighborhood restaurant in Edmonds! It was very clean, the servers were very attentive, and most importantly, the food was great! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area or live around there! Also, the menu selection is BIG! We were able to try a variety different dishes including calamari, pastas, pizza, and their desserts. We wanted to try their pear pasta (heard it was delicious!) but they were out that day, looks like we'll have to make another stop to try that and their other dishes!
