Nice staff, good food, parking lot in back (rare in this part of West Seattle).
I've been here a couple times now. The service is good. The layout is decent. The seating could use a little more cushioning.
The Pasticciata is delicious. I can honestly say it's one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The meatball I got with it was large, and tasty. The texture of the meatball was a little on the smooth side for my taste. It was very velvet-like. (Which I'd imagine some people prefer, but I like meatballs to still have a ground-beef texture.) The Pizza Roll-ups were a bit odd, and not exactly what I was expecting, but tasty. I keep ordering them, even though I know it means I'll be taking some of my entree home with me. The pizza sliders were quite good. The bruschetta is very good.
The only cons, and the missing star come from two things: 1. It's a touch on the spendy side. I get that you pay for quality, but it feels a touch on the pricey side. Then again, I just paid $11 for the most decently sized personal pizza I've seen. (Larger than most personal pizzas, and the really loaded the meat on it.) 2. The beer selection doesn't really contain things I drink. I tried the brown ale, and wasn't enthused with it. I don't like hoppy beers. I'm more of a bock, tripel, stout, or porter guy. The Tieton cider they have on tap is decent, but on the dry end of ciders. Their signature mixed drinks are decent, but I'd like to see a little more variety there as well.
Overall, I really like this place, and I keep going back to try other things. So there ya go.
