Wed Jun 13 09:39:13 -0700 2007 2656013 14097 ssusu 3 2658105 La Rustica is a cool little italian restaurant in West Seattle, just off Alki. Food can be a bit salty, but it's a cool, tiny place. Andaulca is more upscale and is in the Mayflower hotel in downtown. Marjorie is an ecletic place in Belltown. It's a little more off the beaten path.
