The Pink Door

Frommer's Review

If I didn't tell you about this restaurant, you'd probably never find it. There's no sign out front -- only the pink door for which the restaurant is named (look for it between Stewart and Virginia). On the other side of the door, stairs lead to a cellarlike space, which is almost always empty on summer days when folks forsake the indoors to dine on the deck with a view of Elliott Bay. What makes this place so popular is as much the fun atmosphere as the reliable Italian food. You might encounter a tarot-card reader or a magician, and most nights there's some sort of Felliniesque cabaret performer (accordionists, trapeze artists, and the like). Start your meal with the seasonal crostini misti or the antipasti plate. From there, you might move on to an Italian classic such as lasagna or something made with fresh seafood from the market.
