Cantinetta restaurant set to join 15th Ave E mix in new Capitol Hilltop Apartments development

The Cantinetta Famiglia is making a highly anticipated return to Capitol Hill with a new restaurant located in the Hilltop Apartments on 15th Ave E. Scheduled to occupy a 1,925-square-foot space, this Italian eatery is part of Hunters Capital's initiative to enhance the neighborhood's commercial offerings. In addition to Cantinetta, the building will also welcome Rudy’s and the Wax On waxing salon, contributing to a dynamic mix of local businesses. Recent developments in the area include the expansion of Fire Tacos & Cantina, indicating a flourishing food scene on 15th Ave E. Owner Trevor Greenwood, well-versed in the Seattle culinary landscape, previously ran Bar Cantinetta and the now-closed Chavez, positioning him as a knowledgeable player in this competitive market.

The arrival of Cantinetta will present new challenges for established eateries such as Ethan Stowell's Rione XIII, known for its Roman-inspired cuisine. As the neighborhood continues to evolve, this opening promises to be a significant addition, further enriching Capitol Hill's dining landscape. The restaurant is expected to open soon at 555 15th Ave E, and additional developments are on the horizon for the area.
