Casa D’Italia, a little bit of Italy in Ravenna

Seattle Guide

Neighborhood restaurants are the heart of any city.   We may go as far as to say that the neighborhoods are defined by how many really great joints there are to go to.  Well, in Ravenna, one of these great places is the family run Casa D’Italia Restaurant located at 2615 NE 65th St. 12615 NE 65th Street5 NE 65th Street

 

Owned and operated by New York native Anthony and Seattlelite Angeli Donatone since their opening in 2001,  this intimate and robust restaurant has more personality and character than most.  With a warm and cozy rustic country feel, this comfortable modest eatery offers traditional pastas, salad, and desserts freshly made with an open kitchen and an on site fresh herb garden in the back. As you walk in and smell the wonderful aromas, you are surrounded by rich and dark woods, counter and table seating with wine bottles set and ready to uncork, and framed old photos of the family giving you that feeling of walking into a cafe in a quaint street in Italy. They offer musical entertainment and poetry reading nights, perfect for sipping a glass of wine and relaxing with.

Don’t miss the nightly specials and desserts.  Angeli bakes the wonderful breads and ricotta cheesecake and grows herbs in her fabulous on-site herb garden.  With a glass of delicious yet well priced wine to compliment your savory famous meatballs, you will feel like you are in a little cafe in Italy that you just happened to stop into off the cobblestone path.  Great neighborhood joint.
