I read a review about the ravioli being mediocre due to being frozen so I almost didn't order it even though it's what I wanted but I'm sooooo glad I did!!! It was so good! I think ravioli is typically cooked from frozen anyway to keep from sticking. I also had the espresso the way it was recommended and it was AWESOME. Will definitely be back again!

The new owner was welcoming and went out of his way to make a nice dining experience for our group. The wine suggestions were great, the salads were interesting and full of flavor, and the sausage was exquisite. At the end of the meal the tiramisu was thick, not too sweet, and luxurious to eat. If you have a large group (8-10) I recommend calling a week in advance to make arrangements. I'm looking forward to dropping by earlier in the day sometime for espresso.Vegetarian options: They are famous for their home made sausage, but created special dishes for the vegetarians in our party.

Wanted to grab Italian with some friends and were very pleasantly surprised by this spot. Wonderful food (especially the rice croquettes (kurdish kofta) were just incredible) unfortunately they were out of the in house cured meats, only means I'll have to go back another time to try them!

This place is FAN-tastic. I love the homey "hanging out in your cool friend's backyard" vibe. The new owner, Doski, was as sweet and genuine as you could imagine, and treated us like special guests. And the food is *chef's kiss*. Get the Kurdish kofta appetizer for sure. Even the side salad was above-average, nothing is an afterthought here. I will be going back to eventually try everything on the menu!

Great little spot with amazing food. One of those cozy neighborhood spots that seem to have disappeared. The owner is the chef and your server. Very fair pricing. Dinner for 2 with an appetizer and salad was under $40.

staff was amazing and super kind. A homey feel with a loving chef who gave us some free food to try. Great place for families

Small place, just the owner serving and cooking. So, so friendly. Food is great, reasonably priced. We had a couple meatball sandwiches and pasta plate with house made sausage and vegetables. Excellent.We are outside, there is space for about 2 small tables and one large table. Inside there are 4or 5 tables.

The cutest italian trattoria in town. Great little spot to come for a quick bite or a sit down dinner. The meatball sub is no less than phenomenal. The perfect crunch in the roll down to the fresh meatball sauce & cheese melting in your mouth! A special soup on the side and a glass of vino to ease your palette. Please come & enjoy asap!

This place is amazing! We were on our way to a different restaurant in the area it was closed, we saw this place place on the corner and walked in. We were greeted before we came inside, the owner was the best guy ever super nice and amazing service. I got the meatball sub for $8.50 amazing prices, we sat outside at a big table and the food was just amazing absolutely perfectly charred bread with amazing marinara sauce, cheese, and all the meatballs u want. It was crunchy and soft but so neat it didn't fall apart. If I couldn't give this place 10 stars I would! (The owner also gave us a free dessert that was just the best thing I've had in a long time). I will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu and I'm bringing people with!

The owner is incredibly kind and will greet you with a big smile. It feels like you’re in his kitchen at his home. I have never felt that at a restaurant. He made my wife and baby feel like family. I can’t recommend this place enough. The Kurdish kafta croquette is life changing. One of my favorite food items for both my wife and I. Please go check out this hidden gem you won’t regret it. PS The Philly sub is also our favorite sandwich in the state, if not country!
Out of this world service. One of the best dining experiences we’ve had. On a sunny Seattle day, we sat outside and had wine, bread, and many other goodies. Will be back ?.

The new owner, Doski, is very kind and accomodating. I like their chicken sandwich (with onions, green bell peppers, and jalapeños) and green salad for lunch. His Turkish coffee and homemade baklava are also delicious.

Cooked us a family style Italian meal paired with great wine. Great company and food. Such a special experience. Make a reservation and they will take care of you. Not many places like this left anymore.

I’ve been wanting to try this for a while and it did not disappoint! So beyond good! The staff was beyond friendly & helpful. So excited to go again soon & actually dine in! Also, just a heads up, the door is the brown one to the left of the patio :)

These are the tastiest most unpretentious sandwiches in the neighborhood. The staff is delightful the coffee is by far the best in the area and seriously these sandwiches are delicious. I cannot say enough good things about this little gem.
