Cultivated Canines

Seattle is known for its delicious brews, but Espresso Vivace Roasteria offers something much different than the Starbucks and Seattle´s Best chains found throughout the city. Opened in 1988 and inspired by Northern Italian espresso, Espresso Vivace creates their drinks with the motto "una bella tazza di caffe"–a beautiful cup of coffee.

Enter through The Pink Door and leave the mundane world behind you. This sublime restaurant transports you to homespun Italy, with tempting Italian-American food, lively, free entertainment and a warm respite from reality. From the trapeze artists swinging overhead in the dining room to the romantic patio overlooking the Elliott Bay, this restaurant guarantees a memorable experience.

Have a blast at the Seattle Center! You´ll find plenty to do in this park, arts and entertainment attraction. Visit the Center House, home of the Children´s Museum, or the Pacific Science Center. Ride up to the top of the Space Needle or take a ride on the Seattle Center Monorail. Enjoy music and theater performances or let the kids play at the International Fountain.
