Spazzo's is alive and well and living on the second level of the Redmond Town Center. Spazzo's is a long time eastside restaurant that was located in The Key Bank Building in downtown Bellevue for many years. It was a central Bellevue hot spot with great views of Seattle and the Olympics from its top floor location.
The restaurant had to move a few years back when the building owners decided to convert their restaurant space. (The space is now the showroom for Bellevue Towers condos)
Happily, the restaurant is now living in Redmond. Spazzo's took over the space once used by Cucina, Cucina. As many of you locals know, Spazzo's is part of the home grown Schwartz Brothers chain of restaurants. The chain includes such restaurants as Daniel's Broiler and Chandler's Crabhouse.
The restaurant's newest rendition is as an Italian restaurant and wine bar. On Sunday evenings all bottles of wine under $100 are priced at half off, a good deal with a great meal! I spoke with Spazzo's sommelier and he recommended some great wine choices.
The restaurant is designed with some wonderful spaces. This time of year you can enjoy their extensive covered patio.
Inside is a large bar area and a main dining room, complete with white table cloths.
Oh, the food. I had a wonderful salmon dish with heirloom tomatoes and a salsa verde. On another occasion, I had the gnocchi with heirloom tomatoes. (I cannot get enough of heirloom tomatoes in the summer)
