A couple of weeks ago, we asked a big question — "Which Seattle restaurant do you miss the most + which meal do you wish were still around?"

Piece of cake, right? SEAtoday readers sent us some food for thought, so let’s stroll down memory lane and share in this moment of local nostalgia.

Piecora's

How could you not miss a "football-sized calzone?" Both readers Lana A. and Alma S. shared fond memories of this NY-style pizza joint that once graced the corner of 14th Avenue and Madison Street. Apparently, the lunch deals were also pretty solid. Piecora's closed in 2014.

Zippy's

You can count us in for any place that has dipping sauce described as "divine." Reader Cate O. gave a glowing review of this White Center burger hangout (closed in 2022) that had us drooling over a meal we'll never be able to have.

Here's a taste: "NOT ONLY could the garlic sauce change your whole dang life, but the burger patty itself — the overlooked, under-seasoned waste of ground beef anywhere else — was delicious."

Il Corvo

The pandemic temporarily robbed us of our opportunity to hug each other and is the guilty party responsible for Il Corvo's closure.

Reader Marie B. reminisced about this Italian restaurant's "approachable and affordable" handmade delights, recalling a must-have order. "If I could have a kale caesar salad, pappardelle bolognese, and the shortbread with dulce de leche. Omg. Sigh."

Still Life

Here's a throwback for the long-time locals — this cafe that was once nestled along the streets of Fremont was well-known for its cozy atmosphere.

Reader Adam W. mentioned it was a fave in the '90s for salads, soups, and sandwiches. "The food was healthy and tasty, and the scene was classic Seattle. It was back when Fremont was more of an arts outpost and a laid back community."
