But, the trattoria you are talking about is called Stella's and I believe it's still in full operation. If not, it's owned by the same owners as Trattoria Mitchelli (sp) in Pioneer Square, which is open all night. A great Italian restaurant though not on M.I. or open all night, is Gaspare's on Lake City Way and 15th NE. Their rissoto dish is to die for but I'm not saying that it would be a good restaurant to kill your spouse in as Bandoleone has been determined to be!! (sarcasm) But, Gaspare's is great. (No sarcasm) What M.I. does have though is a great chocolate maker and store called Oh Chocolate. Perfect for PMSing or even for gifts. Always a hit and they will do custom orders like, for instance, double dipped caramels. Yummmmm. -Kirsten

Nothing there has ever disappointed, from appetizers to tiramisu. www.savvydiner.com/seattle/assaggio/assamain.html On the Eastside, Cafe Juanita has been legendary for nearly 20 years. Wayne Disclaimer: I don't work for them, I do have a business affiliation - with Assaggio and about 50 other Seattle area restaurants.

Stella's is open 24 hours. Trattoria Mitchelli (Yesler and Post Alley) is not open 24 hours, but is open until 4am. The menus are very similar, except that Stella's does not have everything that Mitchelli has (notably, no pizzas). -Mike
