We had a chance to come back to this restaurant in the Bella Bottega shopping center since it has been years since our last time due to the pandemic. We invited a friend who is big on good food and delicious cocktails; he loved it!
Food is absolutely delicious! We always get the pane rustica to share because their flatbread is amazing since it's made and grilled in house in their wood fire oven. I got the casa salad which was refreshing and the strawberries gave it a sweetness I loved.
For my main course I got the pesto prawns bucatini. Pasta was cooked al dente so the chew texture was perfect, the sauce was great (not heavy, not oily, flavourful), and the shrimp were fresh. It didn't bother me, but warning that the tails are left on the shrimp. Last for dessert I got the trio gelato. They have classic flavours like chocolate and pistachio, while also having unusual ones like rice.
The atmosphere is nice casual so it's great whether you're going for a quick bite to eat at their bar or celebrating an event with a group of friends.
The menu prices are higher than a fast casual restaurant, but not overpriced for the quality they give or more expensive than comparable restaurants in downtown Redmond. They post their menu on their website which is nice. This place is one of our local favourites and I look forward to coming back to try other dishes!

This place peaked my interest due to its specific region of Italy. I am a small percentage Sardinian and I don't know if I will ever visit, so why not the next best thing? We went as they opened on a Saturday at 4 PM. As we entered we were asked if we had a reservation.. we said no and with slight hesitancy the hostess stated they had a large amount of dinner reservations and we would only be able to stay 2 hrs. Kind of off putting, but we aren't in Italy and it was just the two of us. We had no intent of staying two hours.
We were seated quickly and our server was a sweet gal who knew the menu well. Hands down the best Focaccia and Gnocchi I have ever had! He had two adult beverages (Manhattan and Old fashioned) and the Shrimp Linguini. Very nice experience. We were introduced to Pane Carasatu. It isn't going to knock your socks off, but it was nice to munch on while we waited for the main course. I would have rather just had more focaccia because it was just that delicious.
Make a reservation and go! Prices are a little high, but the place is clean, food is good and service was great from our waitress.

Good place to get Italian food locally. Everything was okay, but not “wow”.

Dined yesterday. Staff was very friendly and quick. What they serve is good. Peroni cauliflower and pane rustica in appetizers were good. I asked to make ricotta gnocchi with vegetables which turned out delicious in marinara sauce. To end it with extra hot cappuccino was great. I would think pizzas would be worth trying, I already had enough carbs so didn't try that.
I would not call this place upscale though which I read somewhere. Decor, ambience, type of furniture, customer dinning space..I think are key to say that .. Regardless I would say try if you like the menu.

Wow, we had a great dinner there. From A-Z the food was memorable. Sure, the salmon was good, but so were the roasted brussel sprouts - memorable. I'm going to try to make them at home. When we left, we said, this place has been here in Redmond the whole time and we didn't know?

I ended up going there twice over the past couple weeks.
Pros: Interesting cocktail menu, small but good wine list, tasty food that's well-prepared.
Cons: The dishes are small for the price; they aren't tiny, but I was expecting more for $25/plate, especially for the pastas. The pizza crust was good but the crust came out without any of the char marks typical of wood-fired pizza. The menu has a few Sardinian foods but is otherwise a fairly typical Italian restaurant offering Bolognese and pesto sauces, salmon, and chicken, whereas I was hoping for something more like going to Sardinia.
The bill for three people having 2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine, 2 starters, and 2 entrees came to $150.

We can walk here, which is great. We had a tasty pasta meal with some happy hour appetizers that were enjoyable. Attentive and friendly service. Looking forward to better weather so we can sit outside and enjoy a pizza!
