What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas, yes; but we understand that when city authorities decide to dedicate a day to the opening of your establishment the desire to share the news is great.

A thin dough dripping with creamy cheese: in addition to the legendary fugassa, Liguria has given birth to another of the most delicious baked goods, a regional heritage and treasure of Italian gastronomy: Recco focaccia. The name is linked to the small village that saw it born over a century ago, on the Riviera di Levante in Liguria. The Manuelina...

Every once and a while you walk into a restaurant and are hit with an immediate vibe. As a person who walks into many restaurants, I’ve encountered many such vibes.

I’ve eaten my way through many of Italy’s 20 regions. Lovely lemon pasta in Calabria, fried sea creatures in Veneto, fabulous stuffed olives in Le Marche. I could ooze delight for days reimagining unforgettable food experiences in the Bel Paese. I had failed, however, to pay much attention to the unpretentious mega-star region of food and wine: Pie...

I have been longing for a good pasta lunch spot in Seattle since Il Corvo closed early in the pandemic. (R.I.P.) I don't know how I overlooked Pasta Casalinga, a casual spot that has served fresh pasta in Pike Place Market since 2018. Why it's awesome: Unlike Il Corvo, which was only open for weekday lunches and had long lines, Pasta Casalinga is a...

An Italian bakery that in late 2022 was forced to close because it was drawing too many customers has a new home. And customers have been returning in droves. Forno Tony, formerly and very briefly located in a small plaza at East Avenue and Winton Road, reopened Dec. 30 at 1350 University Ave. Despite the year-long absence, demand remains high for...
