Description

The Italian Spaghetti House has a cozy waiting area, ornate murals, and a cavernous, congenial atmosphere that screams "special event" to a largely working-class patronage. They've got free breadsticks for you while you wait for your food to arrive, and spumoni for dessert. This being a restaurant with "Italian" and "Spaghetti" in its name, they've also got pasta. But that's not why you come. You come for the pizza, which ranks among the best in town. (With the Fiddler's Inn within walking distance, northeast Seattle rates as something of a stealth pie paradise.) The crust is neither thick nor thin; it's just right. And while not all the ingredients are fresh (the salami and pepperoni sure are, though), canned mushrooms taste better than they have a right to atop these amazing slices.
