Seattle Italian Cuisine | Savoring Pasta Next to a Vintage Race Car

Cafe Veloce A cozy little spot in Totem Lake, perfect for sitting by the fireplace on a winter day. The food isn't mind-blowing, but it has a unique charm, especially for pasta and cheese lovers. I personally think it's more thoughtful than Due' Cucina, with a wider variety of options. Dungeness Scallopini $31 🌟🌟🌟🌟 With crab, scallops, and shrimp, this seafood dish is hard to mess up when the ingredients are fresh and abundant. The cream and white wine sauce is rich but not overly heavy, and the seafood and sauce have a nice balance of flavors. 🦐 Clam Giulio $23 🌟🌟🌟 A classic combination of shell pasta with clams, topped generously with cheese. The creamy sauce is flavorful with a hint of garlic, making it quite satisfying. However, the lack of vegetables makes it a bit monotonous by the end. 🍤 Stuffed Pork Loin $15 🌟🌟🌟 This is a unique pork dish I haven't tried before! The pork loin is wrapped with homemade walnut stuffing and then encased in Italian prosciutto, all drizzled with a red wine and raisin cream sauce. The texture is rich, though the filling can be a bit too heavy for some. 🍖 (Happy Hour) Meatball $5 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Three large meatballs in a tomato pasta sauce—great value! Served with a side of bread, you can sandwich the meatballs and cheese in the bread for a delicious meal. The tomato sauce infuses the meat with flavor, reminding me of Joey's favorite Meatball Sub from Friends. 🍖 📍 Address: 12514 120th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA 98034 Follow me for more fun dining and exploring adventures in Seattle! 🙋‍♀️ #KirklandEats #Seattle #SeattleAdventures #SeattleEats #SeattleLife #SeattleWeekend #ItalianCuisine #SeattleDining #SeattleFoodie
