“Nicole made the whole experience amazing from start to finish. The food came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. What really stood out was Nicole’s customer service. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful the entire time, making sure everything was perfect and checking in with genuine care. You can tell she truly values her customers and takes pride in her work. Great food combined with service like this is what keeps people coming back. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. She definitely deserves a raise or a promotion.“

“We will definitely be regulars here.
The food, ambience, and staff were incredible.
I had their seafood pasta with the fish of the day (halibut) and my wife had the filet. Our friends had two other dishes and we were all incredibly impressed! If you have been looking for a great dinner spot, rest assured this will be your destination time and time again.
Thank you Team!“

“This lovely gem in Tukwila is definitely worth visiting. Intimate atmosphere good for family, friends or date. The wine menu and menu variety were phenomenal. The server suggesting some of their favorites was a nice touch. This place is top notch and affordable. Definitely recommend.“

“Some friends invited us to dinner and from the moment we entered the aromas had our mouths water. Tasty pasta dishes and wonderful desserts. I had the lemon cheesecake and if you like lemon you won’t be disappointed. The seasonal pumpkin cheesecake gave the Cheesecake Factory a run for the money!!“

“Our neighborhood go-to for a reason. My wife and I live nearby and Verrazano's has become one of those places we just keep coming back to. It's the kind of Italian restaurant that feels like a real find — upscale enough for a special evening but comfortable enough to be a regular.

I always order the spaghetti and a Caesar salad, and both are consistently excellent. The spaghetti is classic, done right, with generous portions. The Caesar is crisp and well-dressed. And don't skip the grilled garlic bread — it's incredible. Simple dishes, but that's where you really see the quality of a kitchen, and Verrazano's nails it every time.
The drinks are a highlight too. I'll usually have a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned over the course of dinner, and the bar does a great job with both. My wife rotates between a Moscow Mule and a glass of Browne's Cabernet, and she's always happy. It's a well-curated cocktail and wine program that doesn't get enough credit.

The views of Puget Sound and the Olympics from the deck are a huge bonus — especially during golden hour. Add in attentive, personable service and a warm atmosphere with white tablecloths and you've got everything you need for a great night out.

If you're in the Federal Way area and love Italian food, don't sleep on this place. Five stars.“

“good food and service from regular menu. for brunch the mushroom fritata was a bit disappointing. it lacked mushrooms and presented as more of as potato dish than a fritata“

“Delicious food, great happy hour and such a nice server“

“33 years ago, my new wife introduced me to Vinces. In her previous marriage, Vinces in Renton was the family go to. One bite of Vinces pizza and I was hooked. The only negative is Vince's pizza has spoiled me to every other pizza place in the area. Vinces pizzas are Neapolitan style......much, much better (in my humble opinion) than any other pizza's. Vince's is the place our family always meets for special occasions. We have always been treated very well. My 9 year old grandson told me Vince's pepperoni pizza is his favorite.....it happens to be my favorite too. Writing this I'm starting to crave a pizza! Their other menu offerings are equally excellent. A year or so ago, we stopped for lunch. Out of the blue, I ordered one of their Italian Hero's. I will say it was the absolute BEST Sub/Hero/Grinder I had ever eaten. If you have not been to Vinces, so yourself a favor and try it. You might find you have a new favorite pizza/pasta place. A++“

“This is our “go to” pizza restaurant. The food is always fresh, hot and very good.“

“The service was amazing and the Pizza was super delicious! ❤The Oklahoma travelers“

“There were four of us for lunch. The atmosphere is Italian and casual. Unfortunately, the background .music is not in the background, making it difficult to talk. I asked the staff to turn down the music, and they did a bit, but loud music is the norm here.
I ordered the Mistra salad, and it was good. However, the housemate dress was BAD. Seemed to be almost exclusively olive oil. They did bring a ranch, which was fine. I paid an extra $6,50 for a small chicken breast, which had good flavor but was pretty dry.
My wife had tomato basil soup and 1/2 turkey panini. She said her food was very good. The servers were excellent and a bright spot in lunch.
We will probably come again at some point.“

“We had the breakfast egg and cheese sandwich and a cinnamon roll. Both were excellent. The eggs and cheese were just right, in a delicious ciabatta bun with creamy pesto. The cinnamon roll was baked to perfection. Looking forward to trying something else the next time we're at SeaTac.“

“What a great place to eat and be merry! Service and food were top notch! With a very comfortable positive atmosphere and good company it's really hard to beat! Will do it again for sure!! Enjoy it for your self soon, you won't be disappointed!!

“Mama Stortini’s has amazing service. Our server Gabe was awesome. The food was wonderful. Justine the manager came over and introduced herself to everyone and wanted to make sure we all had everything we needed.“

“Excellent experience … first time here.“

“Food is amazing, I had the Wild Boar Bolognese and it was really good“

“We found Aversano's during COVID times and haven't gone anywhere else locally for Italian fare since. We love them - the food is always good and there is always lots of it. We love picking up and eating in the comfort of our home however, we enjoy going in as the the feel of the restaurant is like being at home!“

“I have to say this pizza was amazing. You pay $3 for toppings on a Build Your Own Pizza.... but you get what you pay for! It was loaded. I did want it more crispy but I do acknowledge that I had a lot of toppings on a thin crust that could make that request difficult. Also, the best freaking ranch ever!“

“Loved the amazing service and high quality to brick oven that Zach’s mobile truck was able to provide. Can’t wait to try out more!“

“The pizza here is by far the best and my favorite in Seattle! The way they cook the cheese and pepperoni under it is ridiculously delicious! Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed!“

“To the dude that made my pizza Sunday night just before closing. Sunday June 7th. Tonight. I think he drives a charger maybe. I don't know but if you see this review I apologize for not leaving you a bigger tip because you are a master at making pizza. No one else puts just the right amount of toppings on it and it was cooked to perfection.

My pizza was perfect I couldn't have asked for anything different or better.

You and I were talking about why the restaurant doesn't serve pasta anymore. I'll get you on the next go round if you're still there dude.“

“food was delicious and the service was great.“

“Best pizza in town. 5 stars out out 5 stars.“

“First of all the employees here must be hand picked wonderful people because everything is come in I'm treated even more wonderfully then the st.this time I had to show my gratitude to Angel and Maverick. They helped me create a special pizza for my 13 yo w a bit of sneaky veggies tucked away and the zaa was still so yummy he didn't even complain.
They were gentlemen from start to finish all to happy to create my salad with a smile and brought our pizza outside to us even tho I said I would come back In for it Angel brought it to us at the picnic table outside.
Please if there's anyway I can have them feel as warm as they did us I would be very grateful.sincerely a forever fairwood plaza mod customer“
