Transport your senses from the rolling hills of Tuscany to the lush, welcoming landscapes of Vashon Island. From Italy to Iola is an intimate, immersive dining experience that celebrates seasonal change and our stubborn devotion to good food. Join us at Iola Gardens for an evening where nonna-approved Italian technique meets Pacific Northwest abundance. Expect Dungeness Crab Cannoli that snap and wink, a Barolo reduction deep enough to whisper secrets, and other bites that put both regions in a deliciously compromising position.
A soulful blend of heritage, island terroir, and the kind of company that feels like coming home. We invite you to arrive with an open heart and a serious appetite…and to leave feeling deeply nourished, beautifully toasted, and perhaps just a little bit smug for snagging a seat.
