SEATTLE — When you step into Bizzarro Italian Cafe, you step into a world of the bizarre. I mean, duh, it's in the name.
Skeletons hang from the ceiling. At least a dozen different chandeliers twinkle in the warm light. A large model airplane is suspended just above the entrance. Oh, and no cell phones allowed- if they catch you texting at the table, be prepared to hand over five dollars!

But it's not just about the decor at Bizzarro. This longtime restaurant- opened in 1986 by artist David Nast- also has killer Italian food! They make their pasta in-house, and their marinara sauce is, according to the folks at Bizzarro, world famous. It's so world famous, that's what they call it- World Famous Marinara sauce! It goes on many of their dishes, but especially shines on their huge (and delicious) lasagna.

They have a unique and varied menu that features much of their house-made pasta. The Forest Floor Frenzy is a dish that includes mushrooms and walnuts- and it's been on the menu since 1986, so you know it's a classic!

For the meat and seafood lovers in life, Bizzarro has something for you, too. Their massive lamb shank should do the trick...

Or perhaps clam linguini, made with local clams!
