Fodor's "With its Post Alley entrance and meager signage, the Pink Door's speakeasy vibe draws Pike Place Market regulars almost as much as its savory, seasonal Italian food does." Full review
Frommer's "Pike Place Market's better restaurants tend to be well hidden, and if I didn't tell you about this one, you'd probably never find it." Full review
Zagat4.3
"The perennial-favorite "to-die-for" lasagna "runs out quickly" at this "bohemian" Pike Place Market Italian." Full review
BlackBook "Italian in a garish, Cheesecake Factory-ish setting with a nice outdoor deck."
Gayot13.0
"Tucked into one of Seattle's quaint alleyways just north of Pike Place Market, the Pink Door's peachy-pink entrance can be hard to find." Full review
Seattle Times3.0
"A classic Seattle hideaway and hangout. The rooftop terrace is the spot in summertime. The place is kitschy but never obnoxiously so." Full review
Not For Tourists "Wine, Italian food, and Cabaret!"
Lonely Planet "A restaurant like no other, the Pink Door is probably the only place in the US (the world?) where you can enjoy fabulous linguine alla vongole... while watching live jazz." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Outdoor patio and happy hour specials, plus serious Italian specialties like cioppino and spinach lasagna, are good enough to entice Seattle residents to brave the crowds in the tourist-heavy market." Full review
On the Grid "This Italian Restaurant is one of the most popular and mysterious date spots downtown." Full review

Gayot13.0
"Paying homage to his wife and partner Jackie Cross's Greek heritage, chef Tom Douglas highlights Pacific Northwest ingredients in Lola's Greek-themed menu." Full review
Seattle Times "There's braised octopus for breakfast, lamb tongue for lunch and whole fish for dinner." Full review
Afar Magazine "Many consider breakfast the most important meal of the day, so it has to be big, good, or both." Full review
Not For Tourists "Always hoppin', so service can be spotty. Food's a little Greek and a lot delicious."
