"This was a terrible experience. My boss took me out for lunch and as soon as we got there, it was in complete disarray. We sat at our far away table for so long and when the waiter eventually came around, he didn 't ask us if we wanted anything to drink, he did not give us his name, and didn’t ask if we wanted appetizers. He just jumped right into having us order entrees. When we got the food, mine literally looked like the cook poured beef stew over noodles and called it lunch. Not sure if he was trying to go for al dente noodles but they were definitely under-cooked. It was so unappealing and tasteless that I didn 't finish it or ask for a box. The waiter, of course, ignored this and went on his marry way. At this point in lunch, which was about an hour and 15 minutes, my boss felt bad that I didn’t like my meal and she tired to order dessert. Our waiter hadn’t shown his face to us during the meal except to ask us one time if we wanted additional water. My boss had to grab someone else. Finally, after dessert, we sat there, completely ignored, while we were waiting for our check. I awkwardly tried to get our waiters attention while we was talking to another member of the staff but no luck. So I got up and told him “Hi, we would like our check because you have been completely ignoring us.” What was funny was the fact that HE didn’t bring us the check, they guy he was talking to did. During this entire experience, a giant party showed up behind us. They didn 't have enough tables or chairs for them all so, instead of asking my boss to politely move, the staff tried to force a table behind her, and didn 't once acknowledge the fact that they hit her with said table. Such a pathetic excuse for a restaurant. The fact that we couldn’t retract the 20% (pretty sure the minimum is 15% tip is ridiculous. I understand the purpose but if someone didn 't earn it, they should not be rewarded. The entire experience was atrocious."

"Arriving on a Thursday right when they opened beating the lunch crowd I was seated right away. I sat at the bar to overlook the prep working going on in the kitchen and at the center the marvelous wood fired oven at the time filled with roasted red peppers, onions and cauliflower. I watched as the team of five led under Chef Javier Nicholas worked hard to prep for the days business. I knew what kind of pie I wanted before arrival, and looked at their wine selection after I was seated. The only downfall the staff wasn’t up par on the current wine selections and tastes. I opted for a white wine which was a bit dryer than I anticipated and really wanted. I ordered the Sausage and crème pizza which Chef Nicholas quickly went to work on right in front of me. He assembled it with fresh sausage, onion, basil, and roasted red peppers, with a garlic crème sauce and topped with mozzarella and provola. As he slid it on the peel, he stretched out the dough and this mound of ingredients fell into place before a flick of the wrist slid it off into the scorching 715 degree wood oven. After a few minutes he spun it around with a quick turn and a couple mins more it was slid off the peel to the plate where he quickly expedited and cut my pizza so it was plated to me hot and fresh all in front of my eyes. This pizza was simply delicious. The gluten in the crust was well formed as to crunchy yet chewy, the blistering of the crust gave the rustic taste of the pizza and the ingredients brought this pizza home. After some further research I find out it’s actually a small chain. But with pizza this delicious, you would think it’s very boutique. If in Seattle, head over to Tutta Bella above Whole Foods on West Lake and get a pie!"

"As always, Tutta Bella is the go to for family friendly dining. Menu that appeals to both kids and adults alike. Good for plant based options too. This time we came for my son 's 11th birthday. We had a moderately sized group (9 , however the restaurant was relatively empty. Food was great, restaurant was surprisingly still a bit loud (the hard floors/walls really echo , so hearing across the table was challenging at times, but not too distracting. The biggest miss on this trip was the service. While it was a slow Monday evening (6p , we saw at least five separate staff members two hosts, and three servers. Likely there were more, not including kitchen staff. Despite that (and potentially training some of those employees? the service was not what we expected. We waited for a long time between seating ordering (food was quick desert check. Our server seemed to keep forgetting things (orders, desert , most notably that it was a birthday celebration and that I had asked for a candle in a cannoli (he brought me the cannoli and when I reminded him of the candle he seemed to think it was for me? Most odd was that none of the employees were friendly. I smile and engage a lot, as does my family. The employees all seemed distracted and/or more interested in talking to each other than helping the customers feel welcomed and well supported. The hosts at least smiled, but that was the only smile/acknowledgement we received from employees during the entire visit other than our server taking our orders. Even when I pointed out the miss on the birthday and then the miss on the candle, there was no apology just and oh, right I 'll get that . Seems a focus on general welcoming behavior and focusing on customer needs/requests would be helpful here."
