I moved back to Seattle in 2001 and have lived here ever since. I have lived in the Capitol Hill/First Hill neighborhoods for that entire time, save one year.
I have walked passed Cafe Pettirosso, opened in 2000, innumerable times, I have eaten at every food establishment around it, and even had a friend working there for about a year, yet never had I gone inside. I didn't purposefully avoid it, it was just one of those places that I just never get around to trying.
Until I did.
I reached out to a friend I hadn't talked to in a while and she said we should meet up at the Cafe, since it's become her regular place.
And so, even after 14 years, there are surprises to discover in my backyard.
