Something tells me that when a restaurant quits paying the waiters, something is up. King5 has the scoop on Cucina De Ra.

SEATTLE - What's to blame - the bad economy or bad business? Employees of a Belltown restaurant would like to know.

The current and former workers at Belltown's Cucina De-Ra say owner James Malevitsis hasn't paid them in weeks. 

"He says he's broke," said Dragon Radulovic

I've only been to Cucina De Ra once. The dinner was good, but I felt it was overpriced for the ambiance and general presentation, so we haven't been back since. It seems like others have agreed with the pricing. I wish it was a bit more affordable, because the food was great. It's sad to see a local business take a hit.
