Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Pioneer Square

Amazing pasta! But, I hope the uni pasta had salmon row option. Our ordered board appetizer was not come as first.

We had an attentive waitress who was knowledgeable about the menu and made good recommendations. The noise was a little bothersome at first but there was great energy in the place so it’s a trade off I could get past. The food was excellent. The cocktail was delicious. I highly recommend taking an Uber/Lyft. The parking on the side streets on a Friday night was maddening. The dining experience was worth it though. I will definitely go again.

Food was fantastic but our server, Luke, was overworked and overlooked our table multiple times. Seemed to be more attentive to others. My mom ordered pasta and asked for a side of focaccia. Never came. Even after asking the runner, our server, and again our server who told us that it should be out any minute (even after about 20 minutes in between). The pizza and pasta was outstanding and my salmon burger was also great. Could have had a bit more flavor as the avocado was just that as well as really no seasoning on the salmon. Huge portions. Being a former server, Luke needed to have less tables. Lastly, my mom wanted a receipt, which apparently was pressed, but was never delivered from our server. She asked at the front to no avail. Overall, food was great but I would try a lunch rather than dinner time due to the amount of people and lack of servers.

Fab brunch: pork shoulder Gordita - well seasoned, buckwheat crepe - nicely cheese filled, breakfast platter - thick hearty sausage, Eton Mess - rhubarb jam balances sweetness and crushed pistachio for visual appeal & touch of nuttiness. Thoughtful garnishes as dishes served with different greens. Fun to see skill of chef managing frying pans cooking food in open-to-dining room wood burning oven. Lovely service, leaving bottle of water and also refilling. Let us relax and catch-up. Maybe slightly pricey for portion size but I’d rather have less of food well done than leftovers. Also $25pp no-show charge a bit daunting as stuff happens even with best intentions - maybe should only be enforced during peak times (Mother’s Day, Christmas, etc)

I had the pork chop which was great. Sides: mushrooms (great), carrots (not great, tastes if grill char) and fries (so-so, since they were battered). Service and ambiance were great. Would recommend just steer clear of the carrots.
