Newcomers to Belltown, Seattle natives Sean and Kathy Langan have opened Cafe Amore in the space alongside Seattle Glassblowing Studio on Fifth Avenue.
Dinners will start in October, once they get their wine license. Meantime, there's a frittata at breakfast, and a selection of salads, sandwiches, pastas and pizzas at lunchtime, served inside and at the sidewalk tables.
Sean knows the ropes; he had a hand in starting the place that's now called La Fontana Siciliana before spending 20 years in corprate kitchens. A sample of his fettucine alfredo with chicken convinced me he'll be an asset to Belltown. Delicioso!
