The service in this small room leaves a fair amount to be desired, as it is understaffed. However, the risotto menu is one of the longest in town, and both the recipes and the preparation are truly excellent. The quality of the fresh pasta dishes is very good too, really impressive for a Seattle place. The wine was mediocre, but since it was cheap I didn't mind. Portions are enormous; it's like getting two orders of risotto or pasta for the price of one. The kitchen is very accommodating of special requests. The room is small, somewhere between nicely intimate and too small; and cold drafts from the doorway can be a problem. Our server was exceptionally nice though overworked.
Pros: Great cooking, Big risotto list, Big portions
Cons: Mediocre wine, Small room, Overworked staff
