I had dinner here recently with several friends. The experience was just lacking overall. The place was packed on the Friday night we went but we had a reservation so we didn't have to wait for a table. The atmosphere ... ugh. Like being in a mall. Oh, wait. It is. The first bottle of wine we ordered was served too warm. The second bottle was fine. The menu was boring boring boring ... just the same old same old stuff served at most Italian places with ""upscale"" pretensions. I had risotto, my husband had lamb. My risotto was quite bland. The lamb was tasty if a mite overcooked. Oh, and the service was not great, especially considering the prices they charge. Servers brought the wrong salads and entrees to the wrong people at our table. We paid over $100 per couple for a simply average meal and wine. There are any number of places in Seattle that serve great Italian food at much better prices in a nicer atmosphere. If you are stuck on the eastside, I'd still suggest finding somewhere else to spend your hard-earned money.
Pros: Plentiful parking
Cons: Boring food and atmosphere
