"Seattle has needed a serious Italian deli like the light rail needs to finish its Bellevue-to-Seattle connection already. Enter Bottega Gabriele in Pioneer Square. As an importer of tangy-spicy ‘nduja, you’ll find their homemade spreadable salami stuffed between springy focaccia rectangles, along with other excellent stuff like mortadella, dolce sardo, lemon-dressed arugula, and purple olive tapenade. All that—plus bossa nova elevator music and employees that speak fluent Italian—makes for a lunch that’s equally exciting and chill." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
