50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bothell

“We frequent Amaro and have for nearly six years. It is, by far, one of the most consistent restaurants around. Their food is always delish and the service top notch. Sherman is wonderful! Great place to come with a group, as a couple or even on your own. We enjoy the bar and the bartenders when it's just the two of us. If there was one thing I'd ask for, it would be a few more salad and pizza choices. More variety is always good for us frequent patrons. Keep up the great work!“

“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.“

“The restaurant's neighborhood atmosphere is reminiscent of a classic sitcom setting. The kitchen staff, primarily young employees, demonstrates strong teamwork and communication. Our order was accurately fulfilled; however, condiments should be proactively offered, and perhaps bread could be sliced thinner. I do feel it's a bit pricey for what the menu offers. The salad was completely bruised, there was barely any dressing on it, but it was a fifteen-dollar salad without any meat or cheese. They should probably put some time into developing an actual appetizer menu because the $15 salad was not justified. Beverage refills would also enhance the dining experience, so a few misses on standard serving practices. The food was alright, particularly the tiramisu was the best part of the dinner, it was among the best I've encountered in the PNW. We plan to return.“

“Table for 6, easy reservation. Server did a great job taking orders. Brussel Sprout appetizer was the best we have had. Prices for drinks and food were really reasonable. Salads were good. Only reason for the 4 stars were that the entrees took 30 minutes after the appetizers to get. Kitchen issue they said.“

“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“

“Family run (I think) and feel restaurant with good food and did not leave hungry. Total casual and easy to feel welcome. Home made food and daily specials. I got the feeling you could ask for alterations to meals and they would accommodate. Chef came out to make sure all was good and definitely knew the regulars. He treated everyone as a regular. Would recommend and will go back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“We had another great experience at Cafe Juanita. I had the vegetarian menu (although I'm not a vegetarian), and my partner had the omnivore menu. As always, the mixed bread plate was fabulous. I loved the chanterelle polenta as well as the radicchio salad. My partner enjoyed the wagyu beef and the Iberico pork. And as always, the parmesan was out of this world. Service, as always, was knowledgeable and professional.“

“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.“

“Great food and the tasting menu was able to accommodate our tastes while still being interesting“

“Amazing food and staff!!!!“

“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!“

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

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

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.“

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

“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.“

“It's a bar on the college strip. Before 10pm everything is easy & accessible...after 10pm the college crowd comes in to enjoy their youth. If their enjoyment is an issue to you, STAY AWAY...if you just wanna hv a good time with cheap drinks & 3 $1 pool tables (no matter the crowd)...here is your spot...“

“Excellent food and service. A hidden gem“

“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.“

“The food was so amazing n taste so good“

“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“

“Andiamo has quickly become a family favorite! The service is always amazing—everyone is warm, attentive, and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.

The food is consistently delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with great portion sizes and very reasonable prices. You can really taste the quality in every bite. It’s hard to pick a favorite dish because everything we’ve tried has been so good!

The atmosphere is lovely—cozy, welcoming, and perfect for everything from a casual weeknight dinner to a special occasion. Whether we’re celebrating something or just grabbing a bite, Andiamo never disappoints.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Italian food and a place that truly treats you like family.“

“Nice cozy venue with very tasty Italian cuisine (including gluten free options) with excellent service. I had the lobster ravioli and my wife had the salmon speciality and we both enjoyed the entrees. The chocolate decadence dessert is wonderful as is the brownie with ice cream.“

“A satisfying soup and salad combo at Romeos is my healthy lunch option. I order either the lemon chicken and rice or their classic minestrone. It's loaded with vegetables! Order your salad with dressing on the side if you're counting calories.
There are several items in the menu and..from time to time, i enjoy devouring their lemon pepper chicken wings and the cracker like gluten-free medium sized Margherita pizza!
My daughter in law and the men in my family, after a two hour workout at the gym, crave their soup and crisp salad combo (with dressing on the side). They share a large order of Romeos pizza(their favorite)for a slice or two. Here's to moderation and balanced eating !
This summer we are able to visit more often with our furbaby. The restaurant has a private, outdoor seating for a family of 6 + with a pet or two.
The staff is especially patient, thoughtful and kind. One of the many reasons( easy parking, clean bathrooms, )we choose to have lunch here- always a pleasant visit :)“

“I like this place. Been driving past it a couple of times, but one day juat decided to check it out. They sell sphagetti in buckets! Which is a very delightful news for a sphagetti lover, like myself. Food is delicious. People who work there are nice. Great place overall!“

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

“Yesterday was our first time dining here. We were pleasantly impressed. My husband has celiac disease so we are very careful where we eat out. Italianissimo was excellent choice. The service was superb and the food was incredible. We commented on the complex flavors each of our dinners had. The portion size was generous and served hot! There were many options on the menu to chose including from their gluten free menu. We will be going back soon. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful dining experience. Thank you, Italianissimo.“

“When we walked up, we were greeted by the owner, Salvatore, without realizing it was him. We chatted over the course of our meal, and he made our whole party laugh. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and carried a sense of humor as well. GREAT food and service. I am excited to return.“

“We took two friends who'd were from out of state. They loved our favorite Kirkland restaurant!! The service is good and the food terrific. Not to mention a great cocktail list. The beautiful wooden bar adds a lovely atmosphere. Five star for sure!“

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

“The Queen Anne How to Cook a Wolf is consistent in being excellent. The food is always prepared to perfection. The ingredients are well sourced. The atmosphere is lovely. The staff is incredibly friendly without being intrusive. It's my favorite neighborhood restaurant and one of my top 3 in Seattle.“

“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 😋“

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

“seriously the best gluten free pizza in town!! I always get the green dahlia— I’ve never gotten sick from any gluten contamination, they always go above and beyond to insure there is the least amount of gluten contamination possible. We meet Mike today, who makes the dough early before they open, since there is NO wheat flour floating in the air. I always appreciate the extra effort and kindness from this epic pizza restaurant!“

“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.“

“Hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life and it all begins with the dough. #lightsout“

“Our entire family (14 people) ate at the Olive Garden in Kirkland tonight and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was delicious and Matthew our server did an outstanding job! He went out of his way to make our birthday dinner celebration so wonderful! Thank you again Matthew and Olive Garden.“

“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 went to this same restaurant a few months ago and gave them a poor rating based on a meal I ordered.
Last night's visit was very positive. I very much enjoyed the meal I ordered. Very delicious.
Parking is a pain. While there is allot of parking, they have disabled parking (not very many), too, the entire lot is behind the building and you have to walk half way around.
For those with ambulatory issues, best to drop them off alongside the restaurant.
While parking isn't the most ideal, their food is worth it.“

“The hostess and waitstaff were on it and excellent in every way. The summer gnocchi dish was one of my favorites from this whole season. It's also great that Cantinetta gives you quite a few choices for wine by the glass, some of them especially reasonably priced.“

“This place is wonderful… the food is great. Highly recommend.“

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