Ordered a dinner bag valued at $18 for takeout from the TooGoodToGo app, and was shocked by my experience. I showed up at the designated pickup time and told "it'll be a few minutes", which turned out to be over 20 minutes of awkwardly standing by the door. Then, after getting my food, I was appalled to find it was literally a box of noodles. That's it. Not even any meat. How this could be worth $18, I have no clue - I wouldn't even pay $2 for it. The taste was very bland as well. Won't be going here again, and am saddened by how blatantly they lie about the value of their food and treat new customers.

WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN! I would give it a 0 if i could.Called before hand to reserve for a party of 10. When we first got there. WE (not the employees) had to put the tables together so we could all sit together. After we had sat for 15 mins they asked us if we needed water. Usually that's standard. 25 mins go by and they they finally asked what we wanted on the menu. (I noticed they were trying to do all t of online orders and the phone was always ringing). If you can't keep up with the service for people dining in, you might want to stop the outside orders...anyways. 35 minutes later they brought out some bread. Too floury, dry, and nothing to dip them in. 45 mins go by and they finally bring our salads( they still haven't brought us utensils...)1 hour goes by and we had to ask for utensils. The lady comes by and puts a cloth napkin down and puts down multiple utensils on that napkin. She said if we could pass them around and said, "theses are clean"...I hope they are...an hour and a half goes by and we start to get some of food. We were waiting for the other dishes to come before we all ate. Hour and 45 mins go by. We asked where is the rest of the food. Waitress brought back the receipt of what we ordered. Only HALF of the items were on there. So now we are going to have to wait another maybe hours to get the rest of the dishes. By this time we were like enough is enough. We were trying to be nice and understanding. We told them that we don't want the other dishes and not pay for anything. They got mad at us and said, "get out of here". This was the worst experience I've ever had.

Cool little divey bar vibe on one side (traditional dining on the other) with AMAZING food! WALKING in you'd expect only bar food and there are a few standards (wings, etc) but they have an amazing full menu of Italian specialties and huge portions. Friendly service, modestly priced wine list and full bar with *ahem* generous pours. Check it out!

Stopped in this week for a family dinner. The place is the quintessential 3 star review. Kinda dated decor, kinda basic food. We had the gnocchi which were swimming in a soup of sauce and cheese, which didn't bind with the Gnocchi. The minestrone soup had baby carrots which don't provide much flavor. The pizza was ok, nothing to write home about.

I decided to visit this restaurant because I saw their sign advertising a buy one get one free entree deal Monday through Wednesday.We chose to sit in a booth. The table and seat were clean, but the menu had seen some spills. The bread was served alongside an excellent garlic olive oil spread. While ordering I was told that the buy one get one deal was for takeout only. This should have been stated on the advertisement. I checked both signs that I saw outside after the meal and neither sign mentioned takeout.The food was standard pacific northwest Italian and did not disappoint, but the garlic spread was the only major highlight. I would recommend the soup over the salad.Overall, the food was decent for Redmond prices but the false advertising ruined the experience.

Very tasty pasta I have had in a very long time. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes!

Il Pescatore serves delicious Italian food! We have tasted a wide variety of their dishes, and they all tasted wonderful! The portions are generous, and the sauces have so much flavor. The pizza crust is nice and crisp on the outside and super soft on the inside. We are huge fans of the rolls they serve, too! I loved the veggie pasta, the lasagne, the breadsticks, and caesar with homemade croutons. We have already been there twice, and we will probably make Il Pescatore one of our regular go to restaurants for satisfying and reasonably-priced food.

Il Pescatore is a fantastic new Italian place where Nick's used to be. We've had about eight different dishes so far, and it's all been great. Well made, tasty, and good portions. The last time, I asked for chicken parmesan with white sauce instead of red sauce, and loved it. At a lot of italian places (ahem, one with the initials I.G.), many dishes have a single note -- every bite tastes the same. Not here. The flavor profiles of the sauces are complex and the dishes are just cooked better. I see some people have criticized the pizza. Well, it's a style of pizza that a lot of people aren't used to. I'm very picky about pizza, I make a lot myself, and I think it's great. It all starts with the dough, and theirs is excellent -- tasty, not too hard or soft, and certainly not puffy. Next is the sauce and toppings, which should be balanced and not just piled on. While pizza is just one of many things they do, they do it quite well. I have a big list of other dishes to try next, and looking forward to actually eating there in person post Covid. I recommend calling on the phone to order as the online ordering menu is slightly out of date compared with what's on their website, plus those services take a big cut.
Very rich and impressive Italian food. Pasta dishes are filling and flavorful. Delightfully complex taste profiles in every dish. The marinara sauce may be too sweet for many. The complimentary rolls are delicious, and the pizza is excellently crafted. Some of the menu (like burgers) seems unnecessary, but they do have a bar.

After the order was an hour late I had to cancel. Phone number after several calls was still a no answer. Was looking forward to trying something new. Instead they lost my business.

DELICIOUS!! We were visiting for work from Texas and I did a map search for restaurants near our hotel. I found this gem, the food was great from the fresh baked bread, the soup and our pasta was awesome!!! I'm surprised this place didn't have more people on a Saturday evening. It's a hidden gem, if you are in the mood for Italian, look no further. Oh even the Bud Light from the tap was amazing, my husband said that's what it's supposed to taste like! We will be back!

Excellent delicious food and even better not watered down drinks. Thanks for being open during this tough time.

Maybe the worst pizza I have ever had from a restaurant. It tastes exactly like the pizza you would get at a movie theater. Soft spongy tasteless almost no sauce and cheese that tasted processed. Just awful had to get a credit from the delivery service it was so bad.
