Pasta Freska

How can this be the first review of one of Seattle's best restaurants?? Go for lunch and you'll enjoy a solid Italian-American buffet that will please everyone. But go for dinner and oh! ...you won't be bothered with having to pick from a menu, but instead Mike will greet you at the door and seat you (by your third visit, you'll feel like family), chat for a minute, and ask what you don't like. Then, from what you didn't mention, he'll bring a meal that you couldn't have chosen from a menu if you tried!! Every time I go the food is fantastic, and somehow seems a bit better than last time. The casual, friendly atmosphere and relaxed, surprising approach to dinner will please all but the most stubborn control freaks will love it.
