Ferrante's Marketplace Cafe
We had been hearing about Ferrante's from friends for a while and had to finally check it out. The restaurant is tucked into a shopping complex on the South Hill of Spokane. The restaurant includes a small shopping area with wines and gifts. You order at the counter and pick a table in the restaurant, your food is called out from a window at the back of the room. The menu offers a variety of Italian options including pizza, calzones, paninis, and pasta. John had the Carbonara which includes a nice Cougar Gold Sauce, ham, fried egg, and peppers. The pasta had good flavor and was a large portion of food. I tried the fettuccine and it was a bit bland for my tastes but would be great if you like white sauce on your pasta without a lot of herbs or spices.
If you are a fan of gelato Ferrante's has a rotating case of gelatos you can purchase by the cone or cup.

No-Li Brewhouse
When you first pull into the parking lot of the No-Li Brewhouse you may think you are in the wrong spot. Located in a tucked-away shopping area along with Dry Fly Distilling the parking lot does not look very special or appear to lead to a great restaurant. When you walk through the front doors head to the back of the building and prepare yourself for a treat. No-Li Brewhouse is located along the Spokane River and has amazing outdoor seating! This is the perfect place to enjoy a gorgeous summer evening in Spokane. You can sit at a picnic table and enjoy a local beer while savoring a Brewmaster Burger or BBQ Pork Mac and Cheese.
One thing to know is seating is first to come first serve. They do not offer reservations at No-Li Brewhouse. It is well worth waiting a few minutes to enjoy the patio on a gorgeous Spokane evening. Don't worry if it is still chilly outside. No-Li Brewhouse offers a heated patio area so you can still enjoy the view.

Pete's Pizza still makes the best calzones I have found in town!
