"For a cabin experience that involves more wine and pasta than exposure to nature, there’s Il Nido, a fancy restaurant inside the historic Alki homestead where you can eat great handmade pasta without worrying about applying a 15th layer of bug spray. This Italian spot has an always-changing menu full of things like the tagliatelle with beef and pork ragu, and hunks of focaccia that could send memory foam pillows straight to the unemployment office. It’s a dependable option for date night, a special occasion, or when you want a touch of wilderness without driving to a desolate forest in Sequim." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
