Cora Pizza & Plates

Been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and was a bit let down but not too much? I'd say it was average? Maybe we ate there on an off night? Was pretty empty for 6pm on a Thursday, got seated right away. Though it was a gorgeous evening out they had all the blinds down and felt like no windows open except the front door so was a bit stuffy. I did really like the all wooden interior though. Got a booth and that's always welcome. Our server was really sweet as well. They even clarified when bringing our bill out that we didn't have to tip because it was already added - I always get nervous about that in places that include it already because I don't want to not tip by accident! We got the carrots, the romaine salad, a cacio e pepe regular pie, and a margherita gluten free pie. Honestly, everything was kind of lacking in flavor. Carrots were under seasoned, ricotta underneath had no flavor. Salad was fine, nothing special, the lettuce was nice and crisp. My pizza was also fine, the dough didn't have too much flavor - felt like it could have used a couple more minutes in the oven. I really disliked the gf crust but my fiance (who's the gf one) enjoyed it. The red sauce was fine, also lacked seasoning we felt like - tasted just like canned tomatoes (which if you like that, cool?). They also charged me $3 for fizzy water with lime lol. Probably wouldn't go back just cause of all the other amazing food in Seattle but glad I gave them a try.

Great atmosphere (playlist was on point!), service, and food. The gluten free pizza was delicious. Will be back.
