Rione XIII takes its cues from Trastevere, the Roman neighborhood that gives the restaurant its name, translating that into a Capitol Hill menu of Roman-style pizza and pasta. Wood-fired pizzas come styled after Roman street food, alongside pasta standards like cacio e pepe and carbonara and starters such as crispy fried artichokes. Vegan and gluten-free penne is available as a substitute on most pasta dishes.
The restaurant is part of Ethan Stowell Restaurants, the Seattle hospitality group behind a number of the city's neighborhood-style spots. Regulars keep coming back for the straightforward execution of Italian classics and for a happy hour that's built a following of its own, backed by service that's been called attentive and accommodating.
