Bisato
Pioneer Square
Lovers of good food rejoiced when Bisato returned to the city’s dining scene, and for good reason: after a six-year hiatus, James Beard Award-winning chef Scott Carsberg hasn’t lost his edge. His modern Italian menu is a lesson in elegance and simplicity, pairing show-stopping flavors with playful plating. Case in point: a meat ragu that comes out looking like a frothy cappuccino, and a seemingly plain pasta sheet, doused in a parade of flavors (read: truffle, Parmigiano Reggiano, and fonduta).
