capers + olives - Everett (WA)

5 /5 Cyndi Derksen: This place blew us away. It’s a small, cozy spot, but the food is unbelievable. The smell of fresh bread hit us the second we walked in, and it only got better from there. The bruschetta was incredible – the onions and cheese together were unforgettable – and the focaccia was just as good. Their menu changes often, but every pasta is paired perfectly with the sauce made for it. My husband’s strozzapreti with sausage was amazing, and my bucatini carbonara-style was rich, creamy, and perfect. We even skipped the birthday cake at home because the olive oil cake here was too good to pass up. Small restaurant, huge flavor. Absolutely worth trying.

5 /5 Chelsea Oaks: Great experience with very delicious food. Our server was kind and helpful. The cook staff even came around to deliver food when the place was really busy just to make sure people werent having their food just sitting on the counter. We LOVED the bruschetta and pear salad. The focaccio was nice. My husband loved his rigatoni and I had the bucatini it wasnt my favorite but still good. We cant wait to try more bites from here.

5 /5 Nayeli Duran: Best pasta I’ve had! My girlfriend and I had the Meatballs to start, entrees- I had the Bucatini and my friend had the Rigatoni. We watched the chefs make our meal from the table. It was quite an enjoyable experience. Must stop when I’m back in town!

5 /5 Roger Faustino: First time having dinner here. Let me break this down in few categories below: Atmosphere: Cozy. Its a comfortable small restaurant with a lot of charm. Its well spaced out and it doesnt feel cramped. The best seats would be closest to the action where both the Chef and Sous Chef is cooking your meal. Its a great vibe. It is a well oiled machine. The key here is team work. Service: Was good. We were greeted by the Sous Chef, the Chef, and our waitress. Our waitress was attentive to the best of her ability as her sections were busy. Food: This is the center piece of this place. The food is excellent. We ordered the Leek Soup, Meatballs, Rigatoni, and Paccheri. Each of these were excellent. Lets focus on the Rigatoni and Paccheri, the pasta was cooked to perfection for both of these dishes. It was slightly al dente. The sauce for the Paccheri was pure perfection. The Rigatoni was exceptional. Each dish had such depth and flavor. You won’t get tired after the first bite. Though you may visually think these dishes are small but they are truly filling. It is worth the visit. Highly recommend this location. Reservations are a must. Just a side note: the restaurant lighting is a touch dim. Could use a bit more brightness.

4 /5 Kay: Parking can be tricky. Restaurant is small so it fills up fast; calling first or takeout would be best. The chicken had great flavor. Friendly service. I felt portions were small for price but the food quality and staff were great. Located on Colby in downtown Everett. I did have to park on a side street and walking to my car I noticed a few homeless next to the restaurant and around the corner. Just be aware of your surroundings.
