"Carla Leonardi’s Italian bistro has been serving Tuscan-inspired food on white tablecloths in an old brick building in Montlake since 1990. The wood-fired oven at the back of the restaurant churns out delicate, crispy pizzas that are only $10 on Mondays for customers dining in, making this one of the rare restaurants that really courts the Monday crowd. The only downside is that it can get pretty busy, so expect a wait; reservations are encouraged." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart
