Solid italian joint in Redmond.

The atmosphere in this small restaurant is excellent. Mood lighting, candles, etc. It did get a little loud when the tables started to fill up. The food was good. I had the Fettucine Nicola. The sausage was good, the peppers were exactly right. The tomato sauce was light and fresh. I would definitely eat it again. The caesar salad wasn't anything special, but it was a nice addition to the meal. I'm not a wine guy, but the selection there was large. Beer choices were slim. I will be returning to Tropea.
