Ristorante Simone Voted Favorite Outdoor Dining Spot

Sammamish-Issaquah Patch readers  the best place around for outdoor dining in our poll this week.

Nestled in the Saffron shopping center,  dishes up traditional Italian family cooking that stretches back more than 140 years.

The family traces its history to the Italian towns of Muro Lucano and Roccella Ionica. By 1917, though, family members had made their way to Seattle's Rainier Valley.

Now, the restaurant is a staple for Italian dinners and hosts weekly specials, such as Monday Night Spaghetti and Meatballs, Tuesday Night Ladies Night and Wednesday Night Wine Night.

Next week, we'll be asking you to help pick the best spot for a Memorial Day barbecue, so please share your nominations to add to the poll in the comments below.
