Fodor's Review:

This Italian restaurant dominates the Pacific Place Mall that houses it. When shopping, there seems to be an opportunity to give them your custom at every turn. There's a casual café on the street level, then an even more-casual espresso counter on the mall's first level, and finally the elegant full-service dining room. Though the fresh breads and wood-fired pizzas are widely acclaimed, the entire menu has much to offer. Noteworthy are the seasonal antipasti, vegetarian minestrone, handmade ravioli stuffed with Swiss chard, and the rosemary-scented rotisserie chicken.
