I lived in Italy for 6 glorious months and I have been searching for Italian style pizza ever since I left. After 7 long years, I found it at Settebello! This is not your typical American pizza joint. You order your own individual pizza and you eat it Italian style, with a knife and fork (or they will slice it if you prefer). The ingredients are straight off the boat and that is what makes the pizza delicious! They get their meats from Salumi in Seattle, it's Mario Batali's father's cured meat shop. He spent months perfecting his art in Italy and you can taste the perfection!
The signature settebello pizza is a real gem. My husband usually orders it so I go with the pizza Bianca. It doesn't matter what you order, everything is a winner. There is always a special pizza of the week and if you get on their email list they will send you the specials in advance. This is dangerous because it makes me want to eat here every single day!
I have also had the pleasure of trying the salads. They are just as good as the pizza and they will gladly split them for you.
Since leaving Italy I have also been on the lookout for Italian gelato. Again, Settebello excels above the rest. The gelato is very authentic and they have a special flavor every week. My favorite so far is the vanilla cinnamon, sounds crazy but it is crazy delicious!
The prices are a bit high, but they are flying the ingredients in from Italy for crying out loud! You don't need to buy a ticket to Italy to have authentic Italian pizza anymore, just stop by Settebello on your way home!
