We were looking for a restaurant for last evening, unsure exactly where we should go. We have a few favourites in Seattle but wanted something new, closer to where we decide to stay this time (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edgewaterhotel.com\/\">Edgewater Hotel<\/a> on the waterfront). We don&#8217;t normally stay that far west from Pike Place Market, and weren&#8217;t sure what we might find. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opentable.com\/\">OpenTable<\/a> to the rescue!<\/p>\n<p>After perusing our neighbourhood options we selected <a href=\"http:\/\/ethanstowellrestaurants.com\/tavolata\/\">Tavolata<\/a> based purely on reviews, menu, and proximity. Oh boy were we happy with this choice! We had several tasty treats from their standard menu: Mixed Salumi Board, Buffalo Mozzarella, Seared Scallops, and Ricotta Gnudi. The left picture shows our table after we demolished several of these dishes. The Gnudi was absolutely amazing.<\/p>\n<p>The second picture is a view of their Monthly Sunday Feast (first Sunday of every month). This time they roasted whole pigs and served them &#8220;family style&#8221; to several dozen eager diners. Had we known about this event, we probably would have signed up! Everything looked delicious and of course a really unique experience.<\/p>\n<p>Highly recommended, its a great neighbourhood restaurant. Its a little noisy but still great atmosphere. We will definitely be going back next time we are in Seattle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were in Seattle this past weekend for Robothon and Mini Maker Faire and the King Tutankhamen exhibit.
