Editorial Review for Perche'no Pasta e Vino – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Lemon-chiffon colored walls and tables adorned with their own bright blue carafe of olive oil give the dining room of this Italian establishment an ambience of warmth and home-cooking. A long, winding staircase leads up to more seating overlooking the busy kitchen where one is sure to catch some of the alluring aromas of basil and garlic wafting upwards.
The Food
Eschewing the traditional Italian three-course meal, the menu offers a long list of pastas and a few daily specials. Portions are large, so diners are advised to start with something small--the marinated grilled Portobellos are a knockout. There are house-made pastas to please everyone at the table; regulars swear by the mushroom risotto and the creamy fettuchini alla Perche'No, topped with perfectly grilled shrimp. For dessert, the mascarpone "lasagna" is a bit much after a hearty meal, but ricotta drizzled with honey is a perfect not-too-sweet end.

This was a sad experience. Indeed, the owners are very friendly. They kept telling us we'd been there before, when we hadn't. Kind of odd. The wait staff is very friendly and helpful as well. Unfortunately, they deserve a better quality restaurant to work in. The cardinal sin of an Italian restaurant is overcooked pasta, and we got two plates of it. Just not good. I had boar fillets, which were fairly tasy, served with a raisin, pine nut, marsala wine sauce. Strangely, this was plated with two slices of beets and a little blop of the overcooked pasta in an orange sauce. The beets were too earthy tasting to go with the flavorless pasta and the whole plate was really unpleasant to look at with it's combination of brown, purple and orange food. My vegan friend asked for a simple plate of rigatoni and marinara sauce. The overcooked pasta really ruined even this dish. Another consideration is the noise level. I like bustle and that New Yorky feel, but this place is really, really noisy. We had a hard time talking to each other over the clatter. A decent wine selection didn't make up for the rest of the meal. I would never spend money here again.

I dream about eating the food here it is a must every-time I drive to Seattle, The owners are so personable and sent some great pictures of the birthday we celebrated there.
Pros: so much flavor not your typical bland restaurant food
Cons: they get so busy that it can be hard to get in or get parking
