...the bread is delicious; I may be able to get the recipe if Jennifer's sister pulls through! The bruschetta is yummy, and each entree I tasted was too scrumptious. I had grilled halibt cooked with lemon, pepper, and garlic. It was served with pasta in a tomato sauce and grilled veggies... (link)

La Rustica is a little hidden gem ... located just past Alki point and away from the craziness of Alki beach.The ambiance is perfect, the service is great and the food is incredible ... just be prepared to wait since they do not take reservations.Also ... call ahead as I believe they are closed on Mondays.

This restaurant is located near the beach in a quite neighborhood in West Seattle. It is a small, intimate place that is always busy. Reservations are not accepted, so be prepared to wait. There is outside seating the summer on a small, flower filled patio. The food and the service is exceptional. Their appetizers are the great, the tomato bruchetta is the best I have had - anywhere! The nightly specials are great, though the entrees are pretty pricy at ~$20. They also have very good pasta and pizzas that are under ~13 which make this place great for a affordable meals as well as for fancy occasions.

If you actually get a table (really small dining area), this place is great. Be prepared to wait or go really early. The one special I had there was unimpressive but I have always enjoyed the regular dishes. The place feels intimate and subdued-- used to be a house. Atmosphere would have received a 5 rating but if the weather is bad, the only place to wait is a strange, tiny back room that also happens to be where the mops are stored.
