Darkalino's Reviews
Went for happy hour which runs 2-5pm each day. Small menu but great food and value. Pasta that tastes delicious without being overly salty or oily. A solid variety of unique cocktails. Had a Negroni Bianco & a Dark Margarita.
Focaccia starter with disco sauce was a good recommendation.

Great cocktail list, nice inventive recreations. The broccolini was delicious. The uncle Johnny pasta was tasty, just needed salt. Prices especially for cocktails and wine were amazing. Absolutely nice to not feel gouged in Seattle
Got the focaccia with the disco sauce and OH MY GOD! What a start to the meal! Absolutely delicious and Uncle Johnny’s Sauce is fantastic. I have been thinking about it for like a month and need to go back asap
