   I have written a RAVE review of this restaurant in 2016 when it was exceptional. I recently took an exec in town from the northeast US here based on my previous experiences and it was embarrassing. What happened? Is no one checking on what the cooks are plating anymore? For starters, the description on the menu was changed without consulting me and the alternate presentation was terrible. What was listed as caper brown butter finish on grilled branzino was a dry, off-smelling fish with under-cooked head on the plate and a glob of tasteless blood orange on half of the malodorous fish. I asked for filet, which is how they would finish it for plating in the past. My guest received an equally ordinary and unimpressive dish, I lost credibility as one who knows the dining choices downtown - as there are MANY better options. Crossed off my list for good.

   Food was terrible. I can’t believe this is an Ethan S. resturant

   The pizza was burnt, and the pasta and pizza were both insanely salty. We had to drink an entire carafe of water to just mitigate the salt taste, and neither one of us could finish our meal. The flavor of the pasta could have been salt for all we know, it had no other discernible taste. The garlic pizza had so much salt flavor it burned the tongue. The wine and appetizers were fine, and the service wasn’t terrible, but they really need to use less salt on the pizza and pasta.

   Not great. Good service, but expected more from the food. The most memorable part of the meal... is that noting was memorable about the meal. Should have been a better experience for the price.

   The pasta is amazing! Pasta prices are reasonable but drinks and wine can get a bit spendy, but it’s seattle.

   Rione XIII has never disappointed! I've been here a few times after moving into the neighborhood and love it. The pasta is always amazing and love the different appetizer options. We usually pick out a couple of the pasta's to share because it's more fun to have a bit of everything. Cocktails and wine list is great and the atmosphere is fun. Open and airy yet also can be intimate. Love it :)

    We had a group of 8 for a birthday that ranged from 11 to 75. It was perfect for everyone. Another Ethan Stowell gem!
