Il Bistro Owner Launches Amaro Bistro in Bothell

Amaro Bistro officially opened Thursday at Six Oaks Apartments at 18333 Bothell Way Northeast. The Italian restaurant from Il Bistro's Nick Wiltz features wood stone pizza, proteins, and pasta that riffs off what's served at the classic Pike Place Market eatery.

The 3,400-square-foot space seats 75, with a bar that fits 30 and, come spring, outdoor seating. Wiltz says he's a longtime Bothell resident, so the choice to open a new concept north of Seattle a no-brainer. Check out the menu.
