The Scene – Located in the dramatically remodeled Piston & Ring building, a former auto shop, this large, soaring space exudes warmth from its exposed wood beams and rafters. Large windows at the back expose a peek-a-boo view of the downtown skyline. The crowd of Capitol Hill hipsters and foodies dine at tightly packed tables in one of two rooms or mingle at the long bar. – – The Food – The menu features Italian specialties not widely known outside the owners' native Romagna, like the tortelli starter, a pillow of savory potatoes encased in thin flatbread and topped…

Great space bad everything else
by Burgundy55
The space is so beautiful I was expecting the food to be at least decent, and the service to match. But I was completely wrong! The food had a terrible presentation, and tasted like mash. The wait staff is very rude. They act like you are an annoyance. In fact while we were waiting for our food to come, my server and all the other wait staff, managers included were sitting at the bar and having drinks! This is so unprofessional. All in all, save your money…go somewhere else!
- Pros: Beautiful Space
- Cons: The food, service,

Not that great
by ACMilan21
I am a huge Italian food fan, I was not impressed with the food, it was lacking flavor. Our table was covered in dust so much that my throat is still itchy. There are many Italian food places in the Seattle area that are less expensive with much better flavor.
- Pros: Atmosphere
- Cons: VERY Dusty and only mediocre food
