Diners feel like family when they enter this Italian Belltown restaurant. The executive chef/owner Mauro Golmarvi meets and greets every person. The atmosphere is friendly, and the décor is Renaissance style with Michelangelo replica murals, wood booths, soft sconce lighting and intimate tables. The restaurant’s authentic Italian cuisine emphasizes the North Central Adriatic region of Italy, and Mauro takes numerous trips to Italy each year to replenish his wine offerings.
