Sizing (and Signing) Up Sezoni in Queen Anne

Last night, the former Ace Hardware store (limit one free Oreo-like cookie with each purchase, strictly enforced) on Queen Anne began its official transformation to a real food-serving spot: the Sezoni signs are up. While the recession is ruining many restaurants around town, there seems to be no end to new pizzeria places; Sezoni claims to be cooking up the "gourmet" variety. They filed for their liquor license a month ago, so an opening seems imminent.

Anyone know anything more about this place? Do we need more pizza places in Seattle?

It's the people from Vincenzo's -- they're moving to a new location and giving it a new name.

Honestly, though, you people bitching about how "we don't need this, we don't need that, we should have this" disgust me.

They will succeed or fail based, literally, on what people in the neighborhood really and truly want. If people like it, they'll go and support them. If not, they'll fail and disappear.

It's not for you to pontificate, you arrogant, self-contratulatory, little dictators. That's what you are, even though you probably don't realize it.

Good call on Hoyt's, Abe. We need less pretension and more fun atmospheres (with menu options for my lactard friends)

Seriously.

Do we really need another fu-fu yuppie upscale joint in this area? How about bringing back a place like Hoyt's?

Just a good old no frills neighborhood bar that's affordable. Sorry, the Paragon doesn't count.

Upscale American, wine bars, Thai, and pizza are definitely already taken care of on top of QA! And gourmet pizza? Tribunali already has that covered. And like ChrisB said, there's already a ton of other pizza choices on top o' the hill!

I was hoping for some kind of Mexican cuisine. Besides Malena's Taco Shop (the coolest little unknown spot in Seattle, but not really a sit down establishment), Upper Queen Anne is missing that type of restaurant.

Never mind Seattle, do we honestly need another one on Queen Anne? With Olympia across the street, Via Tribunali four blocks down Galer and Elliott Bay, Sorrentino and Pizza Hut (and that other one I'm blanking on) further up Queen Anne plus Pagliacci down at the bottom of the hill, I'd begin to think we already have the "covered flat breads" angle covered pretty well.
