Summary
Would we go there again: Yes
A nice Southern Italian restaurant nestled back from SR522 through Bothell. Sitting right next to the locally famous Yakima Fruit Market, we had seen this restaurant many times and finally decided to go out there. It was pretty good food, good service, and a nice environment. Our only suggestion would be that they invest in a larger sign. They're easy to miss if you don't pay much attention to your surroundings as you drive.

Tim's Comments: Pretty tasty food. Not the cheapest place, but not out of our price league either. I'd eat there again, but I think it would have to be somewhat of a special occasion. The atmosphere is nice for a reasonably intimate setting. They even have a fireplace. They kept my water full.
Jeni's Comments:
Very clean and professional. Nice food. It made me wish that we, along with the other customers, were more dressed up than we were. It would be a nice place to go for a special occasion.
