Having grown up in Washington, Andrea is a self-admitted Pacific Northwest snob. In their opinion, there's simply nowhere else in the country with the Evergreen State's beauty. After attending university, Andrea devoted themselves to writing full-time. They're thrilled to represent Washington for Only In Your State while pursuing other professional and personal projects. They currently reside in Olympia, where they enjoy leaf-blowing their yard, perfecting homemade ramen, cuddling with their three tiny dogs, and feeding their pufferfish, Sea Biscuit.
Though Leavenworth might seem out of the way for a date night, I think it's the perfect spot for a lover's getaway. Who wants to spend this Valentine's coping with Seattle drizzle or, God forbid, traveling someplace warm? Leavenworth's cold, snowy weather is perfect for a romantic holiday, providing beaus with a good excuse to cuddle up.
It's difficult to put your finger on what gives the atmosphere its nostalgic elegance. Located on the second floor, the climb to dine makes meeting reservations feel momentous. And, being perched up high allows Visconti's to capitalize on its enchanting setting.
But the ambiance— best described as upscale hominess— could merely be a consequence of the kitchen's commitment to old-world techniques. This dedication means that dishes arrive tableside boasting Nonna-approved flavor.
So book your table for dinner at this small-town institution, Leavenworth's go-to site of fond memories for 25 years and counting. When the atmosphere and pasta are this good, it's hard not to have a memorable evening with someone you love.
