Three-day celebration to include 1975 prices on signature items, live entertainment and legendary Seattle bartender, Murray Stenson

SEATTLE, Wash. (January 16, 2014) – IL Bistro will be hosting a three-day celebration to honor its 40th anniversary, beginning Tuesday, January 27 to Thursday, January 29, 2015.

Since opening in 1975, IL Bistro has provided Seattle with regional Italian cuisine in an intimate-dining setting. IL Bistro originally opened as a small restaurant at the North end of Pike Place Market, and served only two menu items, as well as beer and wine. The menu included IL Bistro’s signature Lasagne, prepared daily with an old family recipe, veal and lamb ragù. Its second dish was the Market Cioppino with the freshest shellfish provided by the Market. Due to the restaurant’s growing popularity, IL Bistro moved to its larger, current space at Pike Place Market’s entrance at First and Pike Street.

The celebration will feature live entertainment each night, as well as IL Bistro alumnus and legendary Seattle bartender Murray Stenson. During the celebration only, IL Bistro will be serving its original signature items at 1975 prices, including its Lasagne for $9 and Cioppino for $13. Amaro Bistro, IL Bistro’s new sister restaurant in Bothell, Wash., will be offering anniversary prices for its Lasagne and Cioppino as well.

Guests can also enjoy a variety of IL Bistro’s authentic Italian cuisine, including an array of appetizers, salads, pasta and entrees, each prepared with market-fresh meats, seafood and produce. IL Bistro’s menu also features a wide selection of Italian, California and Northwest wines.
