A long-running, family-owned Italian restaurant in downtown Kirkland on the shore of Lake Washington, run by a chef-owner from Sardinia. The menu covers northern Italian classics and Sardinian dishes, with a long wine list, a patio and attentive service. It's one of the best-rated restaurants on the Eastside.


Book ahead for dinner. Afterwards, walk along the lakeside parks and marina in downtown Kirkland.
