50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bothell

“Another nice dinner. Enjoyed both the Artichoke and Shrimp appetizers to start. Linguine Mare was wonderful, loaded with seafood! My friend enjoyed the roasted chicken. Did not order dessert. Overall a very tasty dinner from start to finish.“

“Delicious food and great service! Best Italian food I’ve had in ages! Highly recommend this place!“

“I always get my Salad its the best , all the vegetables are fresh. Its the best salad ive come across in my area. ive had it at least 100xs. It's consistently the best! if you want a great authentic Italian dish, this is your spot.“

“Ate their paneer biryani and it was the worst in the area. I'm surprised because you would think with so many Indian restaurants around, this place should've checked competition before starting it.“

“I have been coming here since High school, we now live on Camano Island and whenever we are down this way this is a must. It is the same taste, same quality, same service even though the people change. Thank you for being consistent and reliable! We love you.

Parking: It is a small lot but it is next to plenty of parking.

Kid-friendliness: Just a fun, family atmosphere.“

“This is one of our favorite spots for a date night on Fridays or Saturdays. Pleasant live music and a large fireplace add to the ambience. During the warm months, they have a great outdoor sitting area with a fire pit. The food is always delicious, while the servings are decent for one person. The cocktails are perfectly blended as well. The prices are moderate but you get a good value altogether.

Parking: There is a large free parking lot but it is about 3-5 minutes walk away.“

“Pizza was great! So was the pasta Fagioli. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Very cute restaurant with cozy atmosphere.“

“This was our first time dining in the restaurant. We had Rimini cater an event and that was fantastic, but this was another level of fun and community. The food was exceptional, the entertainment and bringing people together was so much fun. We are 30 plus year Kirkand residents and business owners and this was the most fun we’ve had downtown in a long time!“

“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“

“Cup of mushroom soup, appetizer of mussels (special), seafood paella with chorizo (special), lobster ravioli, and glass of sangria. Everything is delicious, chef Abe does a fantastic job.
The food is great to go too!

Dietary restrictions: They have vegetarian and vegan options!“

“Love the dining experience and server. Our server is Kendra (if I'm spelling right). She is the best! So energetic and welcoming. Her introduction made me feel her passion about food and wine that she was serving. Will definitely come back.“

“My girls took me to Cafe Veloce for my birthday and it was amazing! Service was great and the food was superb. I had the Dungeons pasta, yummy!!! It was my first time dinning at Cafe Veloce and will not be my last. Highly recommended.“

“I don’t usually eat Italian out because I feel I do a good job at home. This place is way better than I can do. The menu/ordering process is a little challenging to figure out but worth the challenge. We’ve been twice and both times excellent. The salads are great, house made mozzarella with these sweet tomatoes and a balsamic reduction - so good! Tonight I had the gluten free pasta with mushrooms and white truffle oil, fried tofu, homemade sausage and ghost pepper oil. It was so freaking good! The atmosphere is fun as well, open, vibrant colors and Italian pop music. Welcome addition to Totem Lake.“

“Amazing food and staff!!!!“

“For over 20 years we have enjoyed every meal on the menu. They are the only restaurant that I know that make their own pastas, sauces, bread, and desserts. What a difference that makes. Everything is fresh tasting and satisfying. The meatballs are so light and tasty, eat them slowly to enjoy every bite. Not only are their pastas and pizzas delicious so are their appetizers. I love how they roast their eggplant and they serve it in an incredibly rich tomato sauce with Gorgonzola on the side. Their steak is cooked to perfection with an amazing sauce, a grilled pepper, onion, and their incredible handcut shoestring fries that are to die for!! Enjoy“

“Amazing experience! Just wonderful and everything so yummy and I presented perfectly!“

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.“

“Sadly this restaurant that I previously considered family oriented and reasonably priced is no longer so. My last visit noticed alarming high prices for some of the offerings. Ordered my usual spaghetti with marinati sauce, now advertised as being "spicy" as preactically non eatable. Much too much pepper added for my taste. Verbally complained but was barely listened to.“

“Very Italian in the atmosphere. This may be the best thing about the place. The food was very reminiscent of what I had living in Napoles. Not outstanding but quite good.“

“Excellent Italian cuisine in a cozy, family owned, neighborhood restaurant atmosphere for over thirty years. Highly recommend it.“

“The food was so amazing n taste so good“

“Amazing service and great menu! 5 star review. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“One of the best meals in recent memory. Perfect service. Food so special that you could swear you were somewhere on the coast of Italy. 20 years ago I used to dine here. It hadn’t changed. What a beautiful evening!“

“BEWARE OF THE SPECIALS!
A friend and I brought our teenaged daughters here for dinner while staying at the nearby Courtyard by Marriott.
Upon entering we were pleasantly surprised to be seated quickly at 7 pm on a Saturday night.
The atmosphere was cozy and warm, the service prompt and friendly, and the food delicious.
Dinner entrees were reasonably priced from $18-23. Our waiter described the specials which sounded amazing. My friend and I each ordered one of the specials (salmon & filet).
Now, I admit this is totally our fault for not asking the price of the special, so when our check’s came & I paid $46 for a piece of Alaskan Salmon & she paid $72 for an 8 oz filet, we were a bit floored.
Don’t get me wrong, the food was great, service also excellent, but compared to the overall prices on the menu, I found the specials to be overly inflated. As the waiter did not offer the price (as I know they often times do not) on the specials I would just recommend you clarify if you aren’t looking to pay that much for your dinner!“

“We have been going here for years. Always a great dining experience. Delicious food and very personal, great service from a warm friendly staff. The scallop pasta dish, osso bucco, lasagna and sausage Friday are favorites. Also the hay and straw pasta dish.

Vegetarian options: Not a vegetarian.“

“Excellent food and service. A hidden gem“

“I really can't say enough about my experience there....I LOVED IT! The wings were AMAZING and the lady that I ordered from was even more amazing. Can't wait to go back. They even have a huge screen and multiple tv to watch the sports games. Terrific experience!“

“Been to many Italian restaurants being Italian living in Australia and to being at Ristorante Paradiso in Kirkland Washington Seattle was the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. Service was outstanding and had the best white wine I have ever had in my life a memorable experience“

“I recently celebrated my wedding anniversary at an enchanting Italian restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere, adorned with rustic decor and soft, romantic lighting.

The service was impeccable. Our waiter was attentive. We began ordering a bottle of wine and started with the special butternut squash soup that was so rich and creamy, a Caesar Salad and their signature Spicy Shrimp Tower.

For the main course, I indulged in the “Wife’s Favorite” dish with penne, cremini mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes with garlic and basil in their signature pink sauce layered with chicken on top.

My wife enjoyed the special of the evening which was halibut with carrots, asparagus and mashed potatoes. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with authentic Italian flavors.

Overall, for the second time, this restaurant delivered an exceptional dining experience that celebrated both our love and the rich traditions of Italian cuisine. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to create lasting memories over a beautifully crafted meal.“

“In a pizza, I am looking for the puffiness of the crust, stringiness of the cheese, density of the meats, and the crunchy texture of the crust. This pizza hits it just right on all fronts. Nice job. The server could smile a little though ☺️.“

“Classic Italian with a lovely well appointed wine list! What a hidden treasure!“

“We ordered from the on line menu to pick up Saturday, July 18th and every bite of every dish is fabulous! We are enjoying our desserts now. This has always been our experience. Big, big fans of How to Cook a Wolf!“

“Every meal I've ever had there was good. And the service was spot on.“

“As a vegan with Celiac Disease I was so happy when I walked into Razzi’s and had an entire huge menu to choose from! I wanted to order everything! The food was delicious! I can’t wait to go back!“

“I recommend the Old Spaghetti Factory! The spumoni is the best anywhere! What I wish is that you put the Angel Hair [Capellini] Pomodoro back on the menu as it has always been my favorite on the menu. I can always make it at home but it wouldnt be as great! They did not even have angel hair available for me to somehow piece meal it together off the menu! Outrageous! Please bring it back! Easy to make and economical. Thank you 😋“

“Tortellini was best we've had. The lamb chops also were superb. The inexpensive '21 Nebbiolo was as good as many Barolo's we've had. Highly recommend this Italian restaurant. The best we've experienced on the Eastside.“

“Went back to Redmond for a work trip and made sure to stop by, and it tasted just as good as before we left in 2018. Thank you Aaron for a great night. Hope we see Zaucer Pizza in the Dallas Metroplex soon.“

“We went for Seattle Restaurant Week. It was good and the server was friendly. We tried all the appetizers, which were all made gluten free. The clams were great. There was one main dish that was gluten free, the risotto and that was light and tasty. The gluten free dessert was an affogato and it was incredible. We also celebrated a birthday and they brought a tiramisu, which was nice. This location does not offer gluten free pasta, which limits the main dish options, but the Bellevue location does!“

“Great, cozy neighborhood pizzeria with excellent food and friendly service. I ordered the food ahead on the phone and it was ready by the time I arrived.

Pizzas were flavorful…dough wasn’t too crispy and they had plenty of toppings. We also got a regular Caesar salad and their homemade dressing was fantastic.“

“The first time I went to olive garden was with my mom and my grandma. The wait wasn't too long even though the restaurant was full. We got seated and our server was super nice. Not only that but the food was delicious. You can repeat soup and salad and even take bowls of these ones home. The amount of kindness that this place has is super heartwarming. Honestly, one of the best restaurants I have ever laid a foot on. Every once in a while I go with my family or my friends, which by the way two weeks ago I went there after homecoming. Even though they were about to close, they were still super nice and the food was just as great. One of my friends left a big tip that night. Recommend 100%“

“I recommend the Pizza and the Staff. The amazing FREE customer service is fabulous. They really care.“

“Crossroads Italiano is the go-to spot for anyone craving Italian comfort food!

“Olympia pizza is how our family celebrates a great day!“

“I have tried their pizza as my work orders from here often and it is always fresh and they don't skimp on the toppings! I ordered a take out turkey melt and it is soo good and the bread is actually really soft! I love that it comes with a side of soup as an option as well.“

There are great employees here who care about their customers' experience! 10/10 would recommend! Sufficient parking, easy to find, fantastic food, and overall a good quality experience!
