Al Boccalino, Seattle, Washington Restaurant Details

Food:

Shite. It's owned by a bunch of greedy assholes who can't take care of their employees. Avoid at all costs.

Food:

Amazing Italian restaurant. Forget the menu. Tell them a price per person and a price per bottle of wine. Sit back and eat knowing everything will be delicious.

Food:

This was THE BEST restaurant experience I have ever had. The food is delicious. The " Italian table" is best way to go. It is everything I grew up hearing about grandma Fini's kitchen. A surprise for every course of the meal. Anyone who likes Italian Food MUST eat here. Bucket list worthy. It's just awesome!

Food:

I had bought my Groupon as an event to do on a recent trip to Seattle. When I saw all the horrible reviews, I was terrified I made a huge mistake and tried to figure out how to get my money back. I decided to stick it out and hope for the best, and I would work on a refund later. I am SO glad I went! Bill taught our class and assigned each person a task for our 5 course meal. He was so thorough in explaining the whys, the hows and made it entertaining. BEST of all, the foods were so easy to make, I could not wait to go home and recreate them. There was no scamming, Bill explained all we had to pay was taxes and gratuity, which was not included in the price, and everyone understood that. If you wanted wine throughout the evening, you did have to pay for that. I got to take the recipe home with me so I could remember what spices we used in the class and make them again.

I will say the only downsides are the location and communication. The restaurant/class is in a VERY small space, they cannot possibly fit more than 12 people in a class. I say communication as a downside because it was difficult to get a hold of them to set up my class reservation. They are closed during afternoon hours, and there was no way to leave a voicemail when I called.
