The Best Alki Beach Restaurants - Seattle - The Infatuation

"With consistently tasty handmade pastas and a stellar selection of antipasti, Il Nido is Alki’s best special occasion spot. The Italian restaurant inside a historic cabin is fancy enough to celebrate a 15th wedding anniversary, but informal enough that when a grown woman at the table next to you asks for an off-menu “butter pasta” the server doesn’t skip a beat. An ideal order starts with prosciutto de parma, continues with things like a rich tagliatelle, and ends with panna cotta that’s worth getting even if you’re already full." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
