50 Best Italian Restaurants near Bothell

“Celebrated my daughter’s 16 birthday at Amaro. They went the extra mile for her and had a great table saved and even got her a small beautiful bouquet of flowers after I had to delay our time due to some unforeseen events. It was so sweet and thoughtful. The food is always fresh and delicious. Thanks, Amaro! You made it a great night!“

“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 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.“

“Fantastic food!!! Pizza is incredible!!! Love the atmosphere, staff is pleasant and helpful if you can't decide. I found this place one day after coming back from the Basset Bash in Woodinville.
I have been coming here ever since, tried many different dishes
and all are very delicious.“

“Came here with the family while visiting Seattle and am so grateful we did. This is one of those places where you can’t go wrong ordering anything off the menu. The beers/cocktails were great, but the star of the show was the brussel sprout starter. We’d come back everyday for those if we could. Overall an incredible place for dinner and drinks. Atmosphere is very cozy with the dim lighting, pretty tavern design, and huge fireplace. Definitely would return!“

“Went again excellent again
We are Chinese and we love this place.

They took great care of us . The seafood pasta suitable for the taste of Chinese people The steak is also very delicious~ Each of us enjoyed the dinner!
Thank you for your hospitality. It was an incredible and unforgettable dinner, everything was top-notch... Tony and all the staff were very kind and made our visit spectacular, thank you so much!!!“

“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“

“We were thrilled with everything about this new restaurant. LOVED the food selections, wine was divine and service impeccable. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Great Mediterranean food in a pleasant, neighborhood atmosphere 😊“

“The food was so amazing n taste so good“

“Amazing food! Beautiful heart. Thank you for supporting a women in our crisis center. Everybody raved about how good everything was. 💛“

“Everything about this place is absolutely amazing!!

The servers are very well educated and even remember special notes about you. My server was Carly and I absolutely adored her. She was so sweet and checked in on me each step of the tasting menu. Even when I was a tad bit overwhelmed by selection choices, she walked me through everything and recommended a few items.

The food melts into your mouth. I had some of the best scallops I have ever tried and I got to try quite a few new things that I didn't know I would enjoy, like caviar.

I can't wait to be back with my fiance!“

“Took the family for a nice lunch - had Mediterranean shrimp, chicken fettuccine and pizza. Food was amazing and service exceptional, will def be coming back !“

“My wife and I have come here for the drinks and occasionally truffle pommes frites or some oysters, but this time we tried some of the other menu items for dinner. My wife got the Halibut (Chapter 6) and I got the Mushroom Pasta dish. (Chapter 5)

I asked Casey if he recommended the mushroom dish and he said it was one of his favorites. I'm not a foodie, so I don't get overly excited over food but let me tell you... It was so good that it prompted me to write a review about it. I actually felt an endorphin rush from eating it! My wife loved the halibut, (which I also tried) and I would say getting her to eat fish is usually a challenge unless her fisherman father prepares it!

I would recommend a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, which Casey also pointed me towards some new Rye to try. Fantastic as always!

I had placed an order for oysters but apparently they were forgotten, but I was so enamored with the mushroom dish that I didn't even care. Casey offered them to me on the house as he felt bad, which was a very nice gesture. I wasn't upset at all!

Now we would like to try all the other dishes, because if both meals were that good, how can they miss with anything else?

I didn't take photos of the food because I inhaled it :)

Thanks Casey and the rest of the staff for great service and amazing food/drinks!“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.“

“My word this place is fantastic. Shame this good local Italian is 1500 miles from home. Service is friendly and quick. Incredibly filling.“

“Pauly’s is the kitchen in the back corner of Earl’s. It’s a reputable purveyor of fine deep fried drunchies. Our selection was the mini combo of onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and jalapeño poppers with waffle fries. Surprisingly served with four different dipping sauces! Don’t be deterred by the metal dog bowl it is served in. I would recommend pairing it very with a Coors Light and a Mariner’s win.“

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

“Excellent food and service. A hidden gem“

“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 love the family here, from the owner to the son and his wife and kid that are there sometimes. They're always welcoming and it feels like going to a friends home for dinner. Sure, the place surrounding it can sometimes not be... Great, but being safe inside and having sketti makes it worth it. My family came by for the Thanksgiving dinner in 2025 and I want that again! Please come by, I promise it's worth it, they're so sweet.“

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

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

“As a person who’s eaten at 1,000’s of pizzerias from New York, to LA, and all of over Italy including Napoli, I have to say Bambino’s is my favorite place to eat pizza of this style. They’ve never let me down. I don’t even live in Seattle but every time I’m in Washington, I make it a point to make the pilgrimage to Bambino’s. It’s some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. It’s up there with Lou Malnati’s in Chicago, L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele in Napoli, Sartoria Panatieri in Barcelona, and Tony’s in San Francisco.“

“my husband and I have been going to Spiro's since we moved to Shoreline about a year ago and I have LOVE their salad,pasta,and tonight we tried their pizza and it is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I tried their lasagna earlier and it was just amazing! my husband does not like lasagna but he really enjoyed it! Manny the manager has such a great personality, always greeting us with a smile and is very funny 😊 if you haven't already tried Spiro's then I recommend you do. and it's a great family restaurant!“

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

“I moved out of the area about 10-12 years ago. Back in the area for a while. Was driving down willows RD and saw the sign. Stopped in and grabbed one. Still amazing pizza and loved it!“

“Lovely restaurant 💫 The cuisine is great. I adore all pastas dishes.
Perfect service.
The chef Bart is always around, so you could be sure that everything will be excellent under his supervision
It is in the heart of Redmond downtown, easy to find parking“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible food and excellent service!I absolutely love Romeo’s Pizza Kitchen! The pizza has the perfect crust and fresh ingredients, and the pasta dishes are hearty and packed with flavor. The food is so great, and the cozy atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to dine. Highly recommended to anyone craving comforting Italian food in Edmonds! Best for Italian food. Will definitely order again“

“Silver Lake Pizza & Pasta is one of the gems of Everett! To swing by for single slice and a great greeting that is like 'swinging by the house' to grab a bite before you hit the road at the 112th HOV o ramp. Have known the owner since the original
building on the lake was closed. Same food, same smile, same quality. Worth every penny when you taste the food and a small business owner I am proud to support.“

“Hands down best pizza in Seattle“

“Cannolo has become one of my most favorite dessert places in Seattle! I absolutely love their cheesecakes and cannolis!! The cheesecakes are the perfect texture and just the right amount of sweet! I love that they’re open till 10pm too which not many places in the area usually do and they’re always so quick to get your orders out to you. Always a 10/10 for me!“

“Delicious wood fired pizza 🪵🪵🪵 with a unique flavor. I've visited Veraci more than once, and it's always been great! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially Miranda
🍕“

“5 Stars!! Excellent menu, delicious food, fast, friendly service!“

“We were a party of 6 for a birthday celebration. The staff made sure we were well taken care of. Everyone loved the food and the ambiance and had a wonderful evening. Thank you!“

“To start, the food is amazing. Very good lasagna and their tomato sauce is good. Our server for some reason insisted on pouring more coffee for my dad and more water for me, but other than that the food came in about 20 minutes and the music was also a good choice. Good portions too. For 2 people it was 50 before tips.“

“Amazing local pizza place! Authentic food, fast service and a nice vibe!“
