Great restaurant with great food and servers. We really enjoyed bone marrow, risotto and the steak. Their cocktails are also well crafted. Only one downside I could think that even though there were seats available inside, we were seated outside. They have heaters tho. But I’d prefer to be seated inside while they were available. I’d recommend this place.

We came here for our anniversary and it was a great pick!!!! The staff was marvelous and once we arrived and sat at our table they brought us complimentary champagne. What a nice surprise and totally unexpected! The waiter was great and very knowledgeable (wish I remembered his name) about the menu and had excellent recommendations which every waiter should have. We went all out since it was our anniversary. From wine, appetizers to dessert and we never get dessert. We started out with the sourdough bread with two spreads which were Nduja and bone marrow (I think). Nduja is my favorite new spread which is like an Italian salami spread. Yum! Next came the baby gem salad which was light and refreshing and just the right amount of dressing. Main course was the wild boar gnocchi and this dish was our least favorite just an average dish but still decent. We also got the pork osso buco. That meat just melted in your mouth it was so good and I didn’t want it to end! The whole plate was a delight. Highly recommend!!! Lastly we ended with an espresso and cheese cake. Prefect ending to a prefect dinner! The ambiance was quaint and small so make sure to make a reservation. They have very few tables, a bar to sit at and some outdoor seating.

Always amazing. The drinks and food are just SO good. The marrow bone is always my favorite. We got the burrata, the marrow bone, the risotto, the sourdough and the halibut

Used to be one of our fav spots in the Queen Anne neighborhood. But the most recent experience was far from being satisfactory. The waiter serving our table (the furthest in by the bathroom) was rude. No smile, no small talk, no response, didn’t check in with us once and was impatient when taking our additional orders. Maybe he had a bad day but we felt unappreciated along with our friends visiting from SF.

I had really high hopes for this restaurant. Let me preface by saying the service and ambiance are second to none. The service is a little on the snooty side, but this is Seattle after all. The restaurant missed the mark on the majority of the dishes. Conceptually they had potential, but the execution was poor. For instance, the bone marrow was covered in a pickled onion jam of sorts that completely overpowered the dish leaving the bone marrow lost on the palate and no longer the star of the dish. I’m all for cutting through the richness of an ingredient such as bone marrow, but any accompaniment to the main ingredient should only elevate the dish and enhance its flavor, nothing more. The tuna crudo, while extremely fresh, was heavy handed with the acid and under salted, leaving the dish only tasting like vinegar. The burrata was well executed. Seasoned perfectly, and the quality of the olive oil really added to the overall flavor. The chicken mousse was literally the best thing I’ve eaten all year. PERFECTLY smooth and just screamed “I’m made with all the little pieces of chicken you never knew you needed in your life, and now you know. You’re welcome”. Well done. For the main event we had the spaghetti and risotto. My my my. How you could execute risotto this poorly is beyond me. Completely flavorless, like eating water topped with cheese. No depth. No sex appeal. It even LOOKED like an afterthought. Shame. The spaghetti noodles themselves were…decent. The flavor though; while using anchovies as the main salt component in the dish was clever, that was all the dish had to offer. That and an unnecessary amount of mint of all things that completely overpowered the dish. That seems to be the theme here. Great ideas, but often heavy handed on a single ingredient leaving much to be desired by way of balance and complexity. It seems as though the kitchen staff had little to no passion for their craft and are banking on the restaurants’ reputation more than anything else. Again, service and ambiance were top notch. Oh and that sour dough; yes please.

Waiter was amazing, funny, knowledgeable, and able to be invisible. If he didn’t say anything I wouldn’t have noticed he grabbed an empty glass or refill. Just a stellar experience from the start. Our reservation before us was running a little late so you they gave us champagne while waiting. It was very easy to spend the whole reservation time there! The food was absolutely delicious and a world of flavors, so much so that we will have to go back several times to try everything. The atmosphere on our night was like a mini disco restaurant with mid 2000s songs, very fun and enjoyable for us. A place for a formal business attire feel of service, but you can wear nice casual clothes.

Brock was amazing! He made us feel super special on our anniversary trip. He made incredible recommendations so we were able to taste the breadth of the menu. Such a treat! The only thing I didn’t love was the panna cotta. Bland. Maybe an off night! We’d be back all the time if we were local. Cheers!

How to Cook a Wolf in Queen Ann Seattle is an absolute gem featuring Italian small plates and a robust cocktail & wine menu. The cuisine is rustic, bursting with flavor and texture. Each item was unique but was part of a larger culinary journey.

Tried this place for the first time and it was amazing! We had the beef tartare, burrata, scallops, paccheri, peach tart, and tiramisu. The hostess and waiter were very welcoming.
