I had the Osso Buco; the meat fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. This is now my new favorite place in Edmonds. I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

We went here on a Sunday afternoon after a playdate with another family. We didn't have…read morereservations but they still managed to seat us on a very short notice. We were a party of six - 4 adult and 2 five year old boys. We picked the place under the assumption that the kids can get pasta and it would be a peaceful lunch for us adults. We realized after being seated that they do a different brunch menu on the weekends (which has no pasta at all) and were caught a little off guard due to our own oversight - no fault of the restaurant at all. We got the boys sandwiches (Sausage & Egg Breakfast Sandwich) off the kids brunch menu but lunch was far more chaotic than we had imagined. My only point in sharing this is, if you have picky toddlers who like their staples, especially hooked on pasta - just visit outside the brunch hours. Us adults got the below and everything was delicious. Very large portion sizes and it would have been wise to share in hindsight but nonetheless good food. 1. Avocado Toast 2. Tomato Bruschetta 3. Chicken Fried Chicken & Polenta There are only 2 dedicated spots for parking for this restaurant which can be grab to grab but there is plenty of street parking which can also be challenging during peak weekend hours. So bake in a little time to arrive early if you have made a reservations. Staff is wonderful and service is quick.

Who knew that would be such a BANGER. so yummy. We went for dinner the other night, they got a newer server, Joaquin..he was great! It got busy for a few minutes..multiple tables walking in, phone ringing, food pick ups. he handled it WELL, didn't break a sweat. He was by himself, so I just wanted management to know how great of server they have. All in all, we enjoy the food & service. and we will keep coming :)

I want to start by saying I love the food at Portofino's. We have been coming for years. Their…read morepasta bella is delicious - and I also love their pizza. But after our last two experiences I don't know that we will be back. We had a previous experience with a large group that was pretty disastrous. They did not have our reservation even though I had text proof AND had confirmed. The food took so long that some people in our party had to leave. Items were wrong and had to be remade. I had to apologize to people in our group as I had suggested Portofinos. They had a second large party that evening that arrived after us - so we figured maybe they were overwhelmed and maybe had some new employees or were short staffed. So we came again - and this time there were just three of us in our group. There were only 3 other tables with patrons. We placed our order. And waited and waited and waited for our food. Apparently they had several large to go orders. Then when our food arrived - instead of a medium pizza - they brought a mini pizza. When I said something - the waiter said - no this is a medium. Then he walked away and must have realized his error after my confusion. Because he then returned said they were making a new medium pizza. I appreciated that. But it was a frustrating evening. The food was delicious as always. But there are service and kitchen issues. They also add an automatic gratuity and a 3% fee for credit cards. I hope they make some improvements - as the food is very tasty.

We noticed the same thing at several other restaurants nearby as well, since many people had already celebrated and spent money over the weekend. So the quieter atmosphere definitely didn't reflect the quality of the restaurant at all. First of all, the restaurant itself was beautiful -- we absolutely loved the ambiance. We ordered the Cod Pasta, another creamy pasta dish, and the Seafood Paella, and everything was amazing. My mum can't eat foods with high sodium, so we especially appreciated that the dishes were flavorful and delicious without being overly salty. Our server, Mike, was incredibly kind and provided excellent service throughout the evening. At the end of dinner, he even surprised my mum with Italian ice cream for her birthday, and it was just as delicious as the rest of the meal. Huge thanks to Mike for making the night extra special. This will definitely become one of our favorite spots from now on!

They don't bake any in house, but the have a small section of various Lebanese pitas, some Persian barbari, even lavash and taftoon, all from local bakeries. The best part is the Iraqi breads at the front - when I visited on Monday morning, they had freshly bake Iraqi Khubz, 5 for $7.99. I asked the cashier and the baker is actually a local woman who was in the store at the time! They also have samoon on Fridays. I'll certainly be visiting again - this is the closest to Seattle I've found for a place that sells both types of common Iraqi breads.

There are pleeeennnty of desserts to choose from. All looked delicious! We did not get a chance to try their dessert though. Next time forsure! A few downsides to this place. You order food and checkout the groceries all in one spot with the same person who takes phone orders, checks out grocery customers, and takes your food order. All that to say, expect to wait a long time to order and to get your food order, depending on how busy they are. Their service, well rather how long you wait to order and get your food, is really the biggest downside. Since we came 2 hours before closing, they were out of the shawarma which we really wanted to try. We ordered fries and Ali's special, and waiting 50 minutes to get our order. The cashier was really nice and apologetic about it but wow 50 minutes is a long time to wait for food. However, the food did not disappoint! We'll be back to try the shawarma another time but I hope service gets better.

I came with a group of friends on a Friday evening, which was pretty busy. We got a table on the patio which was lovely. The server was friendly and accommodating. I appreciated and enjoyed the ambiance. Now to the important stuff: FOOD!! I was pretty impressed by the quality. I enjoyed everything we ordered. It appears they have a rotating menu. On this day there was a street corn pizza, which was superb. I wanted 2 more of those... I immediately knew that I wanted Rigatoni for the main dish. Although it was delicious and we were scraping out the sauce out of the bowl as much as possible, the only downer was tough, overcooked sausage. But the flavors were divine. The beet salad came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The dessert was not memorable. Overall, I would come back here to try more dishes.

The best kitchen store I've ever walked into…read more This store has something for everyone.. even those who don't enjoy cooking. While the space is tight, The Wood Spoon does a great job of filling it with all the necessities. Not only do they sell every kitchen gadget on the market, they also have an amazing selection of aesthetic pieces. Including bowls, plates, glasses, or any decor you might need for the home. I visited during the holidays and the store was absolutely magical. They had a huge selection of festive goodies and ornaments, making it one of the best spots for picking up. a one-of-a-kind gift. I couldn't imagine a better place to snag a trinket for the hostess in your life. I ended up taking home a number of seasonings and sauces to enjoy over the holidays. I specifically loved the Yozu Bourbon rub!

Growing up, it was a store my grandma enjoyed, my mom enjoyed, and my sibling (an older sister) and I enjoyed. As a family favorite across multiple generations, our visits could get to be a bit lengthy - and were always fun. The workers were consistently kind, and the interior was warm, well laid out, and without dust. Offerings included festive items during the holidays. It is one of few stores in my life I have gone looking over every item on the shelves on multiple different occasions because we were taking so long in the store. My first time doing this I was uncertain of how to approach it, though I was certain that I did not need anything. Then, going through the items, I found a few items I wanted that I had entirely not anticipated. This happened a couple times until the store became a fixture in my memory of where to go to looking for specific items/kitchen item genres.
