Tappi - Twisp

Drove 45 minutes to celebrate an engagement here only to be turned away because it was reservation only, even though the place was about half full and it was 7:30!!! No website listed or any indication that it was reservation only. When I did try calling the number on their sign nobody answered. I will not be going back after this terrible experience.

My husband and I decided to do a weekend trip to the East side of the North Cascades and I found Tappi through some extensive research. We arrived when they opened and I knew I should have made a reservation—we were initially told they didn’t have room, but then the hostess ran out the door after us to offer a 7:30 reservation. It was well worth the wait. The pillow bread was incredible, the pasta was homemade and simple in the best way, and the pizza had the perfect amount of flavor. John is an incredible cook and you can tell each dish is cooked with love for his heritage and his family. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and Rachel was a delight (thank you for making room for us!! . We will definitely be back!

John always make your visit a special evening. Great food. It could be in Tuscany.

First time in we learned you should get a reservation. They did offer a table at tue next available time. Unfortunately we missed out the first night. So we got a reservation the next night. The pillow bread was awesome. I absolutely loved my spaghetti with prawns special (I am sure it was not called spaghetti). It was fabulous. The sauce should come with a warning label it was so good. Don’t be in a rush, slow down and enjoy your meal.

This is the most delicious Italian food we’ve ever had, even better than what we experienced in Italy. Three words: The. Pillow. Bread. If I were on death row, that would definitely be my last meal—it’s that remarkable.
