Italian food has an immediacy, honesty, and warmth; it possesses the spirit of a grandmother's wisdom and love.

Spectacular meal with incredible service. I was a bit disappointed by the dessert selection, but I'm a pastry chef with high standards and an Italian background. Very beautiful environment and the staff treated us well at every interaction. Will absolutely return here.

Hands down best food we’ve eaten in Seattle. Pork belly, mackerel, fried mushrooms, and the “smooth” cocktail. All to die for. Also, Vela was a delightful server!!

I have not been to this restaurant for probably 20 years. I was not disappointed. Our server was very professional but fun. The food was excellent. The restaurant was packed and full of energy. My only complaint the entire evening is it took quite awhile to have someone come over to take our initial drink order and it took some time after that to get our drinks (pet peeve). After that, the service was flawless and our group of 6 enjoyed our time there very much. I will not wait another 20 years to return!
