"It might be scientifically proven that ragu and amatriciana taste way better in the middle of the day when you're free of responsibilities. And at this Italian spot in the lunch capital of Seattle (Pioneer Square) you don't have to wait too long for a table before going to town on a steamy bowl of pasta alongside fluffy focaccia or a chopped salad, and then ending things with a biscotti dunked in espresso. Don't question science on this one—it just works." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
