Contender for Seattle's best Italian food. Infatuation has reviewed as more life-affirming than a night at the symphony, and it was a satisfied feeling leaving the restaurant. Service was very efficient, and it seems like a good sign when a server has been there for 4 years. The tajarin was delicate and flavor nice, although no visible or real flavor of the sage, but $33 could reasonably be $23. Rapini was nice and cavatelli was homemade and nice with broccoli as a vegetarian subsitute for rabbit. Choclate tart with hazelnut and cherry was a beautiful sight and worth returning for (and not over-priced). A good spot for anniversary.
