“We dropped in for dinner last night. It's probably best if you have reservations, but there was immediate seating at the bar, so we took it. The bartenders we're fabulous. Helpful & attentive, but not in your face. Their recommendations for wine & entrees were spot on for us. The food service was quick but also spaced out well so that we had time to finish our appetizer before our entrees arrived.We went with the Burrata to start. Oh my... so good. The apricot-cherry mostarda was delightful. The Black Ravioli was very good & the perfect lighter meal for someone who wants an appetizer, dessert, or both. The iltalian sausage in the Pappardelle had a little spice to it (I love spice!), but not so much that those who have low spice tolerance would have difficulties. I thought the noodles, saucce, tomatoes, & broccoli perfectly balanced the sausage. I would definitely get this again. Finished the night with their Chocolate Tiramisu. Light with the chocolate & coffee flavor you'd expect. My friend loved it.Love how you get your bill. They give you a black book to write comments about your experience. I loved it! Simple but fun & unique. ❤️ Nice spot for after work, a family night out, or a date. Try it out!“

“The Luciano's Mimosa and Fettuccine Alfredo were absolutely wonderful, and the staff was just the right amount of friendly and accommodating without being overbearing. The only drawback really is the somewhat cramped layout at the entrance and some small needed renovations. But the prices were reasonable, and what great restaurant with traditional recipes isn't a little outdated in places?“

“I have been enjoying Mancino's for over 30 years from their location on Broadway, to Caldwell, and now on Federal Way. In my experience, the pizza and oven-roasted grinders from Mancino's have a family feel that I love - like you traveled to your Grandma's to get practical, delicious food that fills you up and makes you happy. The Pride Combo pizza and Italian Grinder are regular carry-out items for us. The sit-down atmosphere is very stripmallish, but totally worth it for quality food at a reasonable price.“

“From their hearts to our kitchen table! I grew up in New Jersey surrounded by amazing Italian families and the very best people and the very best Italian food. I can honestly say this little spot on Vista is THE closest I’ve gotten to experiencing that since my childhood. It’s the food...it’s the Cucina experience...it’s Betty the Washer Woman. It’s like a gigantic hug and it’s all authentic, amazing and needed! I’m so happy to support this amazing neighborhood restaurant. Ditch the chains and stop by ... you will leave with a smile on your face and in your belly.“

“Located just down the street from the hotel where I stay when I'm in Boise so it was very convenient for me. The place was busy at the dinner hour 5-6pm on a Saturday. I picked a booth off in the corner, Table 209 and my server was Micailey M. My amicable server was totally knowledgeable of the products and unobtrusive (i dislike servers checking up on me too often). I thought that because I was seated there that I would be overlooked and I was hangry. So, my server took my order. Got my cold double IPA craft brew in a few minutes. About 10 minutes later I got my fresh hot pie that was super tasty. I recommend a half and half. I had the Bubba and the other half was Sausage and Peppers. Oh so good! The atmosphere had a really nice chill vibe with red and white checkered table cloths, piped in music was just the right volume for pizza and brews crowd. Out front, there's a big red bench for taking pics. I'll be back!“

“best NY style pizza i've ever had! their veggie pizza is fantastic. super simple menu, but sometimes that's all you need! not every restaurant needs a huge flashy menu, you know? i took one star off because some of the staff seem annoyed with having to serve customers, or they seem bored, or like they generally just don't want to be there. but that doesn't hinder my experience here because nobody's ever rude or mean--just bored. great little pizza joint downtown, and great prices!!!“

“Stopped in to grab lunch since I've heard great things. The House Ruben was pretty good. I'll be back to try a different sandwich soon.My only real complaint is the lack of wheelchair accessibility. Upon entering, the entry is cluttered with a bench and miscellaneous junk. Once inside, the path to the counter is extremely narrow and there are piles of excess product blocking the path even further. I knocked over a stack of boxes by accident and another customer had to pick them up. The booths are so close together, I couldn't park at any of them, and the other tables are too close together and too high. There is a short table crammed in the back by the soda machine, but even that was blocking what I assume to be beer taps and a deli case? So, I would be in the way. I had to get my order to go and eat at my desk at work.The whole restaurant could use a DEEP clean, and a rearrange.Wheelchair accessibility: Not Wheelchair friendly. Yes, you can get in the door, but after that good luck.“

“This place is a gem! Tonight was our second visit and, once again, we were blown away by the service and the food! The pasta is cooked to perfection and they serve VERY generous portions. Both times we've visited the wait staff did an exceptional job. So far we've tried their House Made Focaccia, Roasted Beets, Tavolata Salad, Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe (my fav!), Rigatoni, Pappardelle, and the Zeppole. ALL were perfection! Several reviewers were "put off" by the noise. Yes, it's on the. noisy side. BUT, the noise is from people having a lovely time at a wonderful restaurant eating fabulous food! In my view, a busy, noisy restaurant usually means a great place to dine! Until I return I will dream about that Tonnarelli Cacio e Pepe!“
