it means: life is beautiful. perhaps you've seen the movie. there's a poster of it in the cafe, and i thought i would share with you seattle people a secret: our favorite downtown restuarant. we used to never eat out italian. we'd eat out indian, or thai, or vietnamese, you know, stuff you can't cook at home. i thought it was silly to pay alot of money for noodles and sauce, when we can eat spaghetti at home. italian food to me was pasta, garlic bread, lasagna, and sauce out of a jar. foods that were not at the top of my list...
and then i went to italy.
that changed everything. the flavors were amazing, unlike anything i had ever tasted before, the meals light and hearty. when i returned home, we set out to find a little italian restuarant to satisfy my cravings. i happened upon this cafe in the seattle weekly, and we decided to try it. it is now one of our favorites, and we went there the other night for my birthday. the prices are reasonable, the helpings are large, but really, it all boils down to: the food. the food is so delicious, and we've tried much of the menu. i always get my favorite: the pesto pasta! the proscuitto and parmesan crepe is amazing, the tiramisu is house-made and delicious, i could go on and on....the staff is so italian you struggle to understand them, and very courteous. it's altogether a wonderful experience, and if you live here, you really should try it.
when you out-of-towners come visit us, we'll take you there...

you want to get out one night this week (the last week of school)? maybe we could get dinner there and catch a movie downtown?
