24 Best Italian Restaurants near Bainbridge Island

“The food was really good!“

“We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant and highly recommend it to others, especially families with young children! The food was outstanding—my shrimp scampi was absolutely delicious, and I couldn't get enough of it. The shrimp was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. We also shared a Caesar salad, which was equally delightful with an amazing dressing. The drinks were spot-on, and the kids really enjoyed the server, who was exceptionally kind and friendly with them.“

“10/10 would go again! Classy venue. Excellent service and amazing food!“

“We stopped in 15 minutes before closing. As we stepped in the door and realized this (former food service here) the manager ushered us in and assured us that we were welcome to place an order! Thanks so much for making us feel welcomed and we will definitely be back!“

“We try to drop in here every time we dock in Winslow. This wood fired pizza is so wonderful with delicious toppings and excellent flavors. There were three of us in our group and we each ordered a different pizza - all delicious! We look forward to the next time!“

“What a wonderful experience! Impeccable service during the 7:45pm reservation on 2/21–table 35 (our receipt says we were sat with Linda, but for some reason I think her name was Robin). The focaccia was an excellent start, the 12oz cap ribeye was amazing, but the star was the limon butter pasta. Wow, didn’t think any other spot in seattle could compete with Spinasse on pasta. Il nido exceeded on the overall experience and atmosphere. Dinner was complemented with an excellent and reasonably priced amarone which is a rarity. Overall excellent experience and can’t wait to return!“

“The dessert was so yummy! 😋“

“Enjoyed the menu’s fresh ingredients, traditional yet innovative twists. Housemade pastas were the stars. Very good wine list and reasonably priced.“

“It is by far the best pizzeria we have ever tried in Seattle. My wife is from the south of Italy (born and raised) and pizza is a big deal in our house. Strega is a top quality spot, with great food and an awesome service. We are lucky to live close by! Totally recommend. Siete bravi, ragazzi!“

“Brought my family of ten in, and every dish we ordered was excellent. Even better, though, was the timing, professionalism, and warmth of our server. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had from a service standpoint—especially impressive given the size of our group.“

“the vibe inside is really homey. the price point is great. I was able to comfortably order a few things to try. I also think the portions were good. the duck ragu was very good. I enjoyed that plate very much. the sauce pairs with the duck very well. it's fork licking good. the carbonara I didn't care for, I didn't finish it. it didn't taste quite balanced. also my pasta was under cooked. I checked to see if maybe I was given buccatini on accident but no, it was just underdone spaghetti. overall, I'll try it again. my experience I think was good for a first visit“

“Always amazing service and food. Wonderful space and visit as much as we can!“

“My favorite place to eat in Ballard - the food, the staff and the atmosphere are all a delight, every time! They even cater to special dietary requirements and do a vegan pizza with actual vegan cheese (rather than just the bland stuff you’d normally get in most places), and their wholewheat crust is to die for! They also do the best dolma and the best hummus veggie platter. My whole family and I keep coming back, thank you!“

“Well, I would recommend Spiro's only because in the 30+ years I've been dining there, it's been great... with the exception of yesterday! May 8, 2024, my birthday. Of all the places I could have chosen, I chose Spiro's because the Baked Tortellini sounded so good. And then it was served... so disappointing. It had been under the heat lamp or broiler for so long, the cheese was petrified on top and the tortellini on top was like biting stones. Nobody ever came to check on us. My daughter had to go ask for more of her beverage. Then she had to go again to ask for a box. I had asked for a pitcher of water at the counter where we ordered and paid. None was presented. I ran out of water and proceeded to drink what was left of everyone else's water. It just wasn't the birthday experience I had hoped for. Plus they were having roof work done so the loud thuds and bangs were startling at times! Mainly it was my entree and the service that disappointed me! When we left, nobody said thank you for coming in, nothing! And to think we left a tip before we were seated. Wish we could take that tip back, as it was in no way earned!!! Sorry Spiro's, you need to do better! I like your restaurant, but I'm not anxious to come back after yesterday, sadly.“

“Best Salads & dressings. My favorite is the shrimp salad. But the pizzas are delicious! And the pasta dishes are fantastic!!! I can't tell you about the desserts, because we were too full to order anything from the dessert list. Maybe next time.“

“Mondello’s is a lovely place to dine. We felt completely comfortable. The food was delicious. We left full and happy.“

“Todo muy sabroso y delicioso 😋“

“Excellent experience! The food was superb, the service impeccable. An added bonus was the tribute to Burt Bacharach, with many songs played by a violinist. We will definitely return.“

“Last week, a friend and I had lunch at Dalla Baia. Very enjoyable experience. I ordered the linguini with white clam sauce and my friend had the caprese salad. Both were delicious. My entree was very generous with the clams and so tasty! Highly recommended. My friend's caprese salad was beautifully presented and also a generous portion. We celebrated our fun lunch with some lovely Prosecco. If there was one teeny tiny criticism, it is that the focaccia is unremarkable. It comes (2 tiny slices per person) with one's entree, and a nice olive oil/balsamic vinegar dipping sauce. If you want to order more, it is $3.00. Not worth doing. Perhaps this otherwise wonderful restaurant will improve their focaccia recipe in the future. But don't let this stop you from visiting. The food is terrific.“

“Always a great place to take friends! We had dinner with a Legend last night Cliff McCrath! My college soccer Coach!“

“Great place. Clean, was well staffed, courteous and quick service. Sauces were wonderful, salad crisp and chock full of veggiedswith great dressing. Meat balls and sauce, the best, Pizza looked and tasted good.definately 5 stars“

“We came all the way from Denver to enjoy dinner here and we were not disappointed! The food, ambiance, staff…all first rate! What a wonderful meal.“

“We are visiting for a game. Half the excitement is trying something new! What a unique and exquisite place! We will be back!“

“La Rustica was fabulous! The food, the atmosphere and maybe most of all, the service. Our food was outstanding. We loved the restaurant and from the young gentleman who greeted us as we walked in the door and talked to us about our drive to the restaurant to our assistant waiters and our head waiter. The service was some of the best we've ever had. Everyone was kind, attentive and very happy to help with suggestions and talk about various food & wine items. In this world of big box restaurants and fast food joints, La Rustica stands out with its old world world family-owned establishment, charm service and some of the best food we've had in a very long time! 11 out of 10 Stars ✨“
