With its Post Alley entrance and meager signage, many enjoy the Pink Door's speakeasy-ness almost as much as the savory Italian food. In warm months patrons partake on the deck shaded by a grape arbor while enjoying the stunning view of Elliott Bay. The roasted garlic and tapenade are eminently shareable appetizers; spaghetti alla puttanesca (with anchovies, capers, and tomatoes), and cioppino are standout entrées, though nothing stands too far out—people come here mostly for the atmosphere. The whimsical bar is often crowded, the staff is saucy and irreverent, and cabaret acts regularly perform on a small corner stage. There's no place quite like it.
