I normally make it a point to avoid soul-less chain restaurants with mediocre ethnic food. I really make a point of avoiding restaurants with singing waiters. I really, really avoid eating food at the...

Boooo.... sorry this place blows. Is there a reason why we have to wait over 30 minutes for a table when the restaurant is 1/2 empty? When the waitress/host did finally show, friendly enough. Food?...

This place always amazes me, the ravioli's lobster is the best, I order it EVERYTIME. The bellini's are out of this world!!! Don't hesitate, its the best place to eat anywhere not just seattle.

Good for families, paper tablecloth keeps kids busy with crayons.If you're going to Alderwood, it's a good place to grab decent Italian food. Try the Eggplant Parmesan.Yummy bread is presented before your meal, don't fill up. Mangia!
