The Pink Door

1919 Post Alley

Seattle, WA 98101

443-3241
Website

The Pink Door wants to be the Italy of your dreams, with cloud-kissed cherubim populating the walls and soft, romantic lighting. Regular evening performances, including trapeze artists, lend the Door an air of magic. The antipasto is quite toothsome, and the papparadelle al ragu Bolognese is a complete success. In one of the Weekly's earliest "Best of Seattle" issues, our readers chose the Pink Door as their favorite first-date restaurant, and what worked for daters in 1987 still works today.

The Pink Door for Happy Hour

If Lewis Carroll had gotten sloshed before writing Alice in Wonderland, Alice might have tumbled down the rabbit hole and landed at the Pink Door's late-night happy hour (10 p.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday) instead of that silly Mad Hatter's tea party. Stick to the extensive wine list ($6.50 to $9 by the glass); some of the well drinks ($4) and specialty cocktails ($7 to $9) are slightly medicinal in flavor. Appetizers range from a roasted head of garlic ($7.05) and bruschette assortiti topped with pesto, sun-dried tomato, or tuna ($12.50) to Caesar salad ($13.95). The best option is one of the Door's many seasonal desserts ($6).

Yeah, yeah, that's what gets all the attention, but I happen to think this is also one of the coziest, cool-weather places, too. Something about the low lighting, the red wine served in carafes, the hearty italian food and appetizers, and the proximity to Kells makes it a really nice spot to hunker down on those days -- and there are many in our fine city -- when its too wet and dismal to be outside.
