Bar Del Corso

Bar Del Corso is a Neapolitan-style pizza restaurant at 3057 Beacon Avenue South in the Beacon Hill neighbourhood of Seattle, Washington, built around a wood-fired oven. The cuisine is Italian, with pizzas that follow Neapolitan principles of a soft, blistered crust and simple, high-quality toppings, supported by seasonal antipasti and vegetable dishes. The signature dishes are the wood-fired pizzas and the rotating seasonal antipasti, which draw on Northwest produce. The kitchen is open to the room, so diners can watch the pizza makers and the glowing oven. The dining room is warm, casual and neighbourhood-focused, with a moderate to loud noise level when full and no dress code. A beverage programme features Italian and Northwest wines, beer and cocktails, including bitter, aperitivo-style drinks that complement the food. Prices are moderate, at roughly $20 to $40 per person. Reservations are accepted online, and the restaurant is popular enough on weekend evenings that booking is recommended, although smaller parties may find bar or walk-in seating. The restaurant serves dinner on selected days, so confirm days and hours before going. Beacon Hill is reached by light rail, and the restaurant is a short walk from the Beacon Hill station, which makes it easy for visitors without a car. Order a few antipasti and share pizzas for the best range, and ask about off-menu seasonal specials. The neighbourhood offers a quieter, local alternative to central Seattle dining.
