“There is a reason it can be hard to get a reservation at this restaurant. This is a special place. Hands down the best meal I've had in Seattle and some of the best Italian food I've had in the States. The service is top notch, as they go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied and cared for. Chef Katie really cares about the food that comes out of the kitchen and it shows. I highly recommend ordering a few dishes and sharing. Most dishes are perfect for two and you'll want to share in order to get a good sampling of the menu variety. You can tell a lot of heart goes into the food as it hits Italian comfort food spot on. Highly recommend the focaccia and you can't go wrong with any of the pastas, but I recommend the tagliatelle ragù if you're looking for something more traditional. The atmosphere is also a unique experience and makes you feel like you're coming home for family dinner. I highly recommend dining at Il Nido, you will not be disappointed.“
“What can I say - the best. Food is simply fresh, quality, and amazing. Pizza done correctly. The meatballs!!! Will return many times. There must be an Italian behind this restaurant.Vegetarian options: Many options for those who do not eat meats. Check this place out!Kid-friendliness: Kids were very welcome when we were there.“
“The food and setting are good, but not exceptional. I’m happy I tried Autumn, but there is a reason no one talks about it. For the price point, I would expect to be wowed a little more. Certainly nothing wrong with our dishes, but in a city with great food, there are other places that offer more nuance. Also, the open concept kitchen could do with some thoughtful design improvements, the bright lights, white wall and open door into the prep area are a bit jarring and take away from what could be a cozy space.“
“It was absolutely fantastic! I felt like I had to find the location; it felt like a secret to uncover. The unassuming exterior did not match the fabulous interior or the magnificent service rendered by the host and servers. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails looked perfectly made, as did their bottle service.What truly elevated the experience was the entertainment. I went on Tuesday night when it was aerial acrobatics!“
“?️ Reservation Tip: Book in Advance! This charming restaurant is in high demand. Despite the rainy weather, the indoor seating area exudes charm and coziness, while the open terrace promises a beautiful dining experience when the weather permits. The staff ensures a memorable dining experience with their attentive service. ? Starters: The 4-piece Melanzana is a must-try! Grilled eggplant topped with fresh mozzarella, tomato, and basil. A surprising delight even for non-eggplant enthusiasts. Slightly salty, but incredibly delicious. ? Mains: The Risotto ai Marsala delivers an authentic and flavorful taste, with generous portions perfect for leftovers. The Pollo Marsala, a Sicilian favourite as it states on the menu so of course I had to get it! Comes with spaghetti noodles with chicken breast in a Marsala wine and mushroom sauce. While enjoyable, I'm eager to explore other menu options next time. ? Desserts: Indulge in the flourless cake for a decadent treat. While the tiramisu boasts a nice espresso flavor, it leans towards the sweeter side with a generous amount of crème. Overall, La Fontana Siciliana impresses with its fresh and authentic cuisine, ensuring a memorable dining experience. Can't wait to return and explore more of their enticing menu offerings!“
“We absolutely loved our experience here last night! Josie was our server and did a phenomenal job. We did the tasting menu and were thrilled with the generous portions and the pacing. We had our 9 month old baby with us and we were able to keep him entertained the whole time with fresh bread and a filet of salmon.“
“We love this restaurant. The food and service are always impeccable. We e eaten here twice several months apart. Each time, we were greeted warmly, shown to our table and waited on in an appropriate and timely manner. The cocktails are inspired and the food does not disappoint. Highly recommend.“
“best Italian i’ve had in Seattle! my husband and i have been here a handful of times and also recommend it to friends visiting! the staff has always been friendly and food is always so good! the bolognese is a favorite for a reason! i also don’t drink so the mocktails are my go too and they’re always good!“
“This is the perfect spot for a date night! They make their pasta and pizza in house with homemade ingredients. Everything tastes fresh and is served with a smile. They have a great dinner deal where you pay $65 for a salad, pizza, pasta dish, and a bottle of house red or white wine that is the perfect amount of food for a price that cannot be beat in Seattle. I would also highly recommend the tiramisu off of the dessert menu.Vegetarian options: Many pasta and pizza options are vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: They are more than willing to accommodate any restrictions.Parking: It is somewhat difficult to find parking but it is available for free on the streets around the north and west.Kid-friendliness: Kids are more than welcome.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is very tightly organized but they will accommodate anyone in a wheelchair.“
“Delicious PASTA and PIZZA! ??I can’t believe it took me this long to try @stoneburnerseattle ?We loved everything here! Our favorite dishes were the bucatini, uni arancinu (so creamy!!!!), farm chicories salad, gems and radishes Caesar salad, triangoli pasta, skirt steak, black cod, and basque cheesecake. ?Their menu changes constantly based on the ingredients they can source locally.It’s the perfect spot for date night, family outings, celebrations and group dining. And if you love pasta, you have to try out their handmade pasta creations!See my video review @schimiggy#schimiggyeats“
“We had the triple hor'deoure for a starter. Taste was unique and wonderful. I had the moussaka as my main. It was unlike any I've had before. Took half home and enjoyed it as much the next day. I finished with their baklava. Once again, it was unique, very moist - a great way to end the dinner.“
“A great place for nice dinners for special occation. Weekdays maybe a lot of business people having large group dinners, and the noise level maybe too high for intimate dinners such as for birthday or anniversary. But the food is just fantastic!“
“The B.E.S.T pasta place in Seattle! We tried all type of pasta in Italy last summer and have been trying to find our go to place here ever since. We will be stopping our search.Everything we ordered was so delicious. The Mushroom and truffle sauce here is a must try. Poached egg was perfection. We are taking all of our out of state guests here. Highly recommended!“
“The food here is absolutely incredible. I’ve been coming for almost a decade and the quality has never changed. The service is incredible, the owners are amazing and charismatic, and the desert port wine selection is fantastic. (Don’t forget the Underberg!) The decor is only a reflection of the flavors in the food and of the stylings of the owners themselves. It’s funny to say but the bathrooms are actually one of my favorite parts of the experience. There is neighborhood parking and a large outdoor patio to enjoy a glass of wine and mingle with strangers as you wait for a table inside as there is only standing room outside which I can imagine is by design as you will see a wide range of folks that go to Bizzarro. The wealthy Wallingford Wilco’s and your regular Seattle weirdos, all coming to enjoy a hidden gem of Seattles culinary scene that has never truly gotten the shine it deserves. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Well deserved and earned.Vegetarian options: Ask your server! Very accommodating service.Dietary restrictions: Ask and you shall receive…Parking: Get good! It’s Seattle! Find your street parking! However you could be smart and call a ride or take public transportation for the opportunity for more wine! ?Kid-friendliness: Kids allowed. Can only accommodate up to party’s of 8! Call ahead to see if there is space.Wheelchair accessibility: It is a tight space but you could manage. I recommend calling ahead of time to allow for proper preparation of a table for a better dining experience. Restrooms may require assistance depending upon the severity of the disability.“
“I went here with my husband for a late valentine celebration and even though it was not on the night, they brought us complimentary little small glasses of wine to cheers with and begin our night.Our Waitress, Paris was very warm, knowledgeable and helpful for wine selection and food, was just the right amount of attentive to us.The food menu was fun to select from and we absolutely enjoyed every meal although each was very different than others.We shared the Delicata, bone marrow, scallops and Creste de Gallo with a bottle of wine and our final bill was around $270“
“Some of the most generous, friendly, attentive service in Seattle.We visited on a whim on a Tuesday evening, and we were the only guests during our time there. There was a server whose shift ended shortly after taking our orders, so it was just us and the owner/chef afterward. Really felt more like we had been invited into a family home to eat.The food is pretty good, very homey. Gigantic portions.Salmon penne - it could have used more vegetables, basil, and salt (or maybe just less pasta). The owner suggested adding more stuff at home to the leftovers, which I did, and it was great!Chicken marsala - can't go wrong with a cream, mushroom, and white wine sauce. Very good, and well seasoned.The menu and interior do feel a bit dated as others have said, but it didn't bother us. But I really think the specials menu should include prices.“
“Dined in with family for dinner. There was quite some wait time, the restaurant was very busy. However, the wait was totally worth it. We did the lamb and margarita pizzas with some sides and drinks. The pizzas were really good, light and thin, crispy on the edges and soft on the inside, and had burst flavors. The service was good, very hospitable. The ambience is decent, a little noisy and cramped for sure. It’s definitely worth a try.“
“It was amazing!! My first time in Seattle and I visited Nolita, what a nice surprise. Food is amazing, products are fresh and good quality, portions are BIG, taste is great I really felt in Italy, wine is so good! But the attention is the best, everyone was so gentle and kind, I could practice my Italian with the owners and they gave me a rose at the end, was a lovely lovely place.“
“We had a lovely dinner at That's Amore . We shared a pear salad and the pizza with figs . Both excellent. We also shared scallopine which was also really good but we didn't really have room for all of it. The staff were all friendly, helpful and worked like a family. Definitely a date night success . Will be coming back.“
“Very cool, atmospheric place, suitable for a large company, lots of wine and cool music)I looked and thought that I didn’t have enough tablecloths on the tables, black or white, this would add style to the establishment) the staff is very friendly, kind, the food is delicious!) I will definitely come back.There is renovation going on near this cafe, so parking the car is not entirely convenient, but not critical either)“
“We stopped by the restaurant on a weekday and decided to indulge in some pizza, bread, and stuffed mushrooms. Upon arrival, the restaurant was bustling with patrons, and we were informed of a wait. Concerned about our kids getting hungry, we were relieved when they offered us seating in "Nine Hats Wines," which happened to be empty at the time. We ended up enjoying our meal comfortably seated on the couch there.“
“Amazing atmosphere and amazing food. The pasta special with seafood knocked my socks off. The waiter had excellent cocktail recommendations and made the night memorable. The cannoli is worth it even if you're stuffed! AD1 attendees, this is the place to get your grub on.“
“Because I was visiting the market, I randomly chose an Italian restaurant for dinner. I ordered two portions of pasta. It was delicious. The shrimp had a strong flavor of shrimp oil and was very fresh. The tomato meat sauce noodles were well seasoned. The sour tomatoes were paired with pasta. Mason cheese powder is very delicious. You must try it if you have the chance “
“So refreshing to have a meal where the meal and the service are spot on. Every dish was a hit and our server Chloe made the whole experience come together perfectly. Happily come back again and recommend it to anyone else looking for a well executed and delicious Italian food experience.“
“My girlfriend and I had just gotten in to Seattle on a Tuesday night. Many restaurants closed by 8pm but we happened upon this gem here in Yelp. Service was great. Got to meet the owner Brandon and he took time to speak with us and share that this is his second restaurant. It's been open for about 6 months and he wanted our feedback on the food and the restaurant as a whole. We ordered the pappadelle and gemelli. Both dishes were immaculate. The pappadelle were perfect thin ribbons. And the flavor of the brisket in the gemelli was so delicious. Would order both again. Ambiance is trendy and great for a date night. Brandon was gracious enough to serve us some gelato on the house as well. Not something I personally would order but was pleasantly surprised with how delicious it was. Brandon also connected me with his friend at the cocktail bar Canon - who took great care of us. Thank you Brandon! Would come back to this restaurant again next time I'm in Seattle.“
“If you go to Seattle , this place is a must. The food is delicious, they have a little space with music, very private to eat, and the service, awesome, they are very attentive.Don’t hesitate to come here, is just a great place to visit.Here a Colombian family visiting Seattle .Thanks for everything!!“
“Best coffee experience in North Capitol Hill by far! Very unassuming since it's tucked away in the Kaiser building on 15th Ave, but absolutely worth the visit. You can see how the staff takes their time making each shot perfect and I greatly respect that dedication.And if you get the chance, always try Jonathan's newest latte flavors! They do not disappoint.“
“There aren't enough good things that can be said about Altura.From the moment you enter the restaurant and the hosts greet you with a warm and friendly hello and ask to hang your coats. To sitting down and having a small hot towel brought to clean your hands. A delicious aperitif brought to start your night. Every interaction is polite, attentive and professional.We have gone to Altura for my birthday two years in a row. We will be going again for our anniversary in two months.Both experiences, the food and presentations were beautiful and delicious. Each menu was a different experience with a few staples we loved from our previous visit. Everything is amazing, there wasn't a single item or dish we were even slightly disappointed by. The same can be said for the drinks, wine and dessert.A perfect place for a special night out. They've made my birthday feel really special each time and we're so happy every time we visit. Truly something to experience for yourself.Thank you to all the Altura staff, we can't wait to see you all again soon.- Tina & Kris“
“My brain struggled at first to grasp what I was looking at, as the pies served here don’t look like my conventional idea of pizza (growing up in WA) But trust me, just bite into it. I got the Sweet Pete on the menu. That candied bacon is beautiful, the quality of the sausage, the little kick of spicy, it’s amazing. And the tomato sauce has a very light, not overpowering taste. I was worried because it looks like a lot of sauce, but, again, just bite into it. it works and it works wonderfully. Crust nice and fluffy, cooked perfectly, and has that nice charred look on the outside“
“Great local coffee shop with a small bit excellent food menu. Had a great dinner of salads, lasagna and eggplant. BIG DEMERIT: completely full at 5:45p in Saturday, and the music was WAY TOO LOUD. Should have been turned down at least 15 decibels. Nearly impossible to have a conversation.“
“I was only surprised they were not busier. We had a great time and the pizza seemed authentic based on my most recent trip to Italy and tasted delish. Didn’t like what was on the TVs but really who cares when the food, service and company are great! They should make the TVs play something Italian for ambiance… anyway, it was great!“
“5 star service from a family restaurant. I always have a pleasant experience when I order from here. The Chicken Parmesan is AMAZING....the portions are also substantial. I'm moving neighborhood next week, if I had one choice of a restaurant in the area....i wish I could bring Pizzuto's.“
“Over the course of about three years my wife and I have had many meals and all were great. First couple we had pasta dishes then we ordered pizza delivery about three times and most recently dined in for pizza. The space is really cozy the staff is kind and personable which I love and food is great. Gem of a place! Love it!“
“Attentive service. The space we sat was heated and covered outdoors next to an old building. It was very loud.Food was quite good although we preferred the Tarajin at the original Altura better. The portions are quite small.Bathrooms were clean and the lighting was funny with a dark glow light vibe.“
“The food was spectacular but the conversation was even better. Leo took such good care of us telling us about the pizza, their ingredients, his thought process on how to make a great pizza and even giving us a different pizza to try. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in town.“
“The family and I were visiting Seattle on a family vacation and had to try some local pizza. This is a cute little place that had friendly service. I enjoyed a bottle of some local craft beer and devoured this delicious pizza. We got the The Independent Pizzeria -- Mozzarella Fior di Latte, Asiago, Arugula, Salame Piccante, Pepperoncini PiccanteCan't wait to come back the next time we are in town.“
“Wonderful early dinner, seated in the window it was the best of both, the cozy interior and the first warm day of spring without fully committing to sidewalk seating. The versatile wine list and wide ranging menu allow for any direction. The kids went pasta, I had a collection of appetizers and we shared some desserts. We've also had a few romantic dinners without kids, Vendemmia supports any experience you like, the commonality is the always immaculate food. There's a definite seasonality to the menu, and the cooking is superlative. Every time I eat here I always wonder why I don't do it more often.“
“Such a great small spot! Seating is indoors and outside, so it doesn't at all feel crowded. The menu has a lot of fun pizza options and a large wine variety as well.Dietary restrictions: A great gluten-free crust!Parking: It's by a park and a small neighborhood, so parking is a little tight.“
“We were a group of seven adults coming to Seattle specifically to experience dinner at Luigi's for the first time. We were intrigued to try the Chefs Dinner and it did not disappoint. We paid a set price and had no idea what would be coming, which was a fun adventure. We were served garlic bread, brussel sprouts in a bacon cream sauce, cured meats, roasted peppers with burrata, mixed greens with apples and feta, sausage tortellini with a vodka cream sauce, flank steak over a bed of mushrooms and creamy polenta and cannoli for dessert. It was a ton of food and everything was excellent. Lots of great flavors and colors in the dishes. The space was very open and casual in a neat old building. I expected more of an upscale Italian vibe. There were areas of untidiness back toward the kitchen and bathroom. There was modern rock music playing and a large TV with the football game on. The servers were attentive and unassuming, a little cool at first but warmed to us after a bit. We had a really good time and left fat and happy.“
“I love their fresh pasta, palomino sauce, and tiramisu! It's such an easy, restaurant-quality meal at home. I love the cavatappi, bucatini, and pappardelle. The tri-color flavor is fun - love the bell pepper and squid ink as well. They also have some unique flavors like beet and lemon pepper. I'm definitely addicted to their products!“
“Stumbled upon this place while walking and being a tourist!What a cute and unique Thai restaurant. Their decor is unique and very instagram! Flowers all over the restaurant, teddy bears, lighting and all. Very modern but at the same time cozy….if that makes sense.Their drinks are definitely a piece of art and delicious just like their food. Pricy for a Thai spot- but it is Seattle.Highly recommended the chicken wings. It was super delicious and crispy!The pad thai definitely tasted authentic and not “American Thai” and they were generous with the prawns.I was slightly disappointed with the 1/2 duck. I wish it had more flavor and be served with so much bone.“
“These are the best cannolis I’ve had on the west coast!! The crust is fantastic. I grew up on cannolis and, while a bit different, these seriously scratched my perpetual itch for ricotta dessert cream.I only got the classic cream ones. I wish the cream was a bit more ricotta heavy! Maybe one day yall could do a “Sicilian” special?! A girl can dream!Current pick up option is funky, as noted, but also kind of fun!!! Felt like I was at a Japanese vending machine sort of.“
“The herbivore pizza was hands-down the best veggie pizza I've ever had. Love the quantity of olives, the caramelized onions, mushrooms, goat cheese, and every other delicious things they put on it. Definitely going back for it again! Will skip the gelato though—better places for that.“
“I went midweek at 2Pm. I was the only person there, service was prompt and friendly. The music and atmosphere was chill but great. I ordered the Prosciutto sandwich. The sandwich was so good, one of the best I have had in a while. If you are in the area, it is definitely a place worth going.Parking: This is a residential area so parking could be rough during a busy time.“
“Awesome sandwich! Ordered online and it was ready on time - picked up the order and walked over to the king street station and enjoyed our lunch on the Amtrak train!! Great hack for heading out of town, have the Uber drop you at the sandwich spot, it's only a couple blocks from the station! Cubano and spicy salami sandwiches were delicious.“
“Fantastic!! You've gotta try the Al Prosciutto pizza, it was outstanding! Amazing sauce, great combination of fresh ingredients, way better than expected. It was my first time trying Soprano's and I'll be back again real soon. Thank you, Nico!!“
“I can't remember how I heard about Darkalino's but I knew they served pasta and it was in Pioneer Square. I wandered around today until I found it (sure, I could've made life easier by googling it but I didn't remember the name). After some waffling, I decided on the Aglio E Olio - garlic, Calabrian chili (gives a nice little kick), pecorino finely shaved, breadcrumbs which give a crunchy texture I wasn't quite sure I loved, but might?, olive oil, spaghetti. It was good, I enjoyed it and would recommend. Portion size seemed decent and filled me up but I did eat a PB sandwich an hour later so I probably could've eaten more :) The other dish I will try next is the ragu - feel like you can't go wrong there. I saw other patrons eating the Caesar salad and an eggplant parm sandwich and both looked liked they packed a lot of flavor. On the list of things to try. Servers were great. I came in a little after 12p and sat at the bar to eat since I was alone and only the 4-tops were open. It's a cool space. There's an upstairs seating section and also where the bathrooms are located though I didn't need to use them. I like the exposed brick walls with the contrasting white ceiling. Because it's cavernous with no sound dampening it is very loud. Anyway, great addition to PS!“
“Went to Messina for brunch on Easter Sunday and had an outstanding experience. Every single staff member we interacted with was excellent - super helpful, accommodating, friendly, and fun. As a bonus, the food was really good. We had five different brunch items and loved them all. I highly recommend for brunch and will definitely go back.“
“Fast casual fresh pasta. Family friendly and great options for meat and veg eaters. Tried the white truffle and aglio & oglio pasta and the eggplant salad. Would get the aglio &oglio again but the truffle pasta was too rich. Ok for sharing but I'd rather try one of the tomato based sauces next time. The eggplant salad was not super flavorful so would skip. The arancini seemed to be a hit at our table as was the tiramisu. Large pours of wine. Fast, friendly and efficient service.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly pasta options but also fast service means hungry tummies can get fed quickly.“
“My husband and I had a small local wedding, and chose to spend our wedding night dinner here at Spinasse and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We did the MenuDegustazione and were absolutely blown away at the amazing taste and presentation of every portion. In addition to the phenomenal food options, our waiter Aidan was an absolute pleasure and made our wedding night dinner absolute perfection. Another thanks to all the wonderful staff and executive chef that cooked each meal to perfection. We will definitely be returning.“
