"If today’s the day you discovered that your ex is doing just fine, have dinner at Vendemmia. It’s a quiet Madrona getaway where you won’t run into your ex who’s doing just fine. Order something from the wine list and then decide between the classic spaghetti with tomato and hot pepper or the agnolotti stuffed with taleggio. If you’re really still thinking about that ex (who, by the way, is doing just fine), don’t rule out ordering both. They’re that good." - aimee rizzo
"There are better oysters in town, but Vendemmia generally has a good selection if your friends are interested in getting a couple as an appetizer rather than a dozen. This Madrona spot also happens to be one of our favorite places in town to eat pasta. Don’t forget to order some burrata, grilled vegetables, and pastas like the spicy spaghetti with tomato or ricotta agnolotti." - aimee rizzo
"The menu at Vendemmia is full of a bunch of different small plates, but when you’re sick of sharing you should be ordering one of their pastas. Whether you get the spicy spaghetti or the agnolotti, the pasta portions at this Madrona spot are more than big enough for one person - just as long as your date doesn’t start eyeing the cute little tongs that come with each order." - aimee rizzo
"There are times when it’s necessary to hide behind a steaming bowl of pasta and a glass of wine, like when discovering that your ex is doing just fine. Vendemmia is our preferred place for situations like that. It’s a quiet neighborhood getaway where you won’t run into your boss or your ex (who, by the way, is doing just fine). They serve a very powerful plate of spicy tomato-basil spaghetti, and their rotating lineup will feature things like pistachio pesto, tonnarelli with clams, and at least one item involving pork. If it turns out that your ex is not doing just fine and wants to get back together, Vendemmia also makes for a great date night." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Opened in 2015, Madrona’s Vendemmia was Brian Clevenger’s first restaurant and helped establish his mini empire in Seattle largely thanks to its fresh pasta, which opened the spot to widespread salivating." - Harry Cheadle
