This place completely stole my heart. In downtown Seattle, La Fontana Siciliana, is one of those rare gems where you feel the love in every detail, from the warm welcome to the last bite of dessert.
Even though it’s an Italian restaurant, there’s this subtle Brazilian charm in the air, maybe it’s the hospitality, maybe it’s the energy, but whatever it is, it works beautifully.
I had the Risotto al Mare, and honestly, it was perfection. Creamy, full of flavor, and packed with fresh seafood that tasted like it came straight from the Mediterranean. Every bite felt like a little vacation. And the Vitello alla Parmigiana? So tender it practically melted in my mouth. The crust was crisp, the sauce rich and comforting, and the melted cheese on top was just the right touch of indulgence.
The owners are Italian-Brazilians, and you feel that warmth in the way they treat you, like you’re an old friend coming over for dinner. They’re clearly passionate about both Italian cuisine and making people feel at home. You can taste that passion in every dish.
Perfect spot for a date night or a cozy dinner with friends. And don’t skip the tiramisu, it’s the kind of dessert that makes you close your eyes and just feel joy.
This is more than just dinner, it’s an experience.
