50 Best Italian Restaurants near Brier

“Great food, service, and atmosphere!“

“We have always loved Amaro. The food is consistently delicious, cocktails are fabulous, and their staff is warm, conversational, and efficient. Great for friends' nights out, dates, or special occasions like a birthday. Can't recommend them enough!“

“Food is always amazing and the owners are there and so gracious. Can be quite loud and seems like every table is celebrating a birthday, so by the 3rd or 4th singing of happy bday it gets slightly annoying. Other than that it's terrific“

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

“it’s like being served a fantastic home cooked meal by a professional chef on their day off. Incredible service, and unlike most restaurants in Seattle you leave FULL and satisfied. You can smell your food being made, and the restaurant is incredibly cozy with the kitchen able to be seen from your table. Wonderful experience and the food was amazing! Definitely worth every penny and reasonable prices too! They even gave us our gelato on the house!“

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

“Absolutely delicious — truly authentic Italian pizza, not your typical American-style pie. Every bite tasted fresh and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and if you go, definitely grab a seat at the bar — Tori is adorable and an incredible mixologist! She made the experience even better. Can’t wait to 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.“

“this place is a hidden gem in edmonds. Delicious authentic food that i grew up with back in ny/ nj area. Highly recommended as it makes me feel like I'm back east Huge portions but well worth the money.“

“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.“

“We had a meal here for our first time. It was an absolutely wonderful atmosphere and delicious! We ordered a margarita pizza, veggie pizza, eggplant parm, standard pasta and sauce, and more. All of it was fresh and made to perfection. The kids got some gelato and we packed a tiramisu to go- all of which were delicious as well. I highly recommend!“

“The pasta here can be changed into noodles! We ordered 🍅 Bolognese Rigatoni meat sauce is super super super fragrant! The tomato flavor is very strong, and the minced meat is a combination of balls and minced meat. It tastes rich and rich. It is a Bolognese meat sauce that you can never go wrong with. 🦐Spicy shrimp bucatini is very unique! It feels like chopped peppers❤️The shrimps are very big! It’s not particularly spicy, but it’s fresh and fragrant. It’s a dish that is very suitable for Asians😁 🍕I think the most delicious pizza! Pepperoni & Calabrian honey pizza The king of salty and sweet taste🔥The cheese that can be drawn and the right surprise honey are simply a bit ecstatic! After the pepperoni is roasted, it is full of fat, and the crispy and slightly hard texture👍There are whole garlic grains that have been roasted to the texture of potatoes on it! I really beg you to try it!“

“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“

“Café Juanita delivers one of those rare dining experiences that feels both elevated and deeply comforting at the same time. The atmosphere is amazing—cozy and intimate, yet still refined and a little fancy without ever tipping into pretentiousness. It’s exactly the kind of warm, modern elegance that fits the Pacific Northwest so well.

From the moment you walk in, the staff sets the tone. They’re incredibly welcoming and genuinely enthusiastic about the food, taking the time to explain each dish with care and clarity. It makes the entire meal feel like a guided culinary journey rather than just dinner.

We chose the set menu, and it was exceptional from the very first bite all the way through dessert. Standouts for me included the caviar small bite—yogurt tucked inside a delicate curled crisp that somehow managed to be both subtle and explosive in flavor. The beef carpaccio on a crispy cracker was another highlight, perfectly balanced and beautifully textured. And the seafood medley? Absolutely unforgettable. Every bite felt intentional, layered, and crafted to surprise you.

If I had to call out a downside, it’s the parking. Ugh. It’s definitely not the easiest. Plan to find street parking or use one of the nearby retail lots where you’ll likely need to pay.

Overall, Café Juanita is worth every moment and every bite. A truly special dining experience that lingers long after you leave.“

“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.“

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

“Authentic Italian food and wonderful owners! The gnocchi - my favorite! They provided an amazing 90th birthday dinner for my dad. It was perfect! Highly recommend - Fulvio and Ciro went out of their way to make it a fantastic evening and special event!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and staff!!!!“

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.“

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

“We had a family dinner last night and enjoyed the “family style dinner” — what a treat! Service was impeccable and i can’t believe they put out such remarkable food from a closet of a kitchen. One of my favorite places in Seattle, the team at Lioness makes you feel like your having dinner ala familia!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Lovely location in Edmonds. Every time I have eaten here the food has been delicious.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful meal last night and our server, Reagan was terrific. I come from many many years of restaurant/italian food experience and was very pleased with the experience at Saltoro.“

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

“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.“

“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 :)“

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

“Went there on a date. The server was very professional, quick to bring us our food and drinks and wasnt constantly bugging us about refills or to order dessert, even though we spent several hours talking. A wonderful experience, and I'll definitely be going back!“

“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 was staying in the Wedgewood area for a few days. I stopped in to get a gluten free pizza. (I have celiac.) They were wonderful to me. They prepared and cooked my pizza separately from the rest. I don't remember the special I had but it was delicious. I ate the leftovers for lunch the next day. I didn't have any issues with my celiac.
Thanks so much for a great pizza!“

“Been coming here for manyMANY years.“

“This was our second time and we will keep coming back. The food is very tasty and the portions is more than enough. Chris helped me out alot tonight. He was on his break and was willing to get up and help me when I had a question and didn't mind. Was always busy and looked like a hard worker. Big shout out to chria.“

“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.“

“We celebrated Christmas Eve here with a party of 14, including both kids and adults, and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. There was truly something for everyone, and every dish was absolutely delicious. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners, who were incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the evening feel even more special. Service was excellent, we were seated promptly, and the food came out quickly despite our large group. This has officially become a family favorite, and we’ll definitely be coming back often.“

“The risotto and tagliatelle dishes last night were outstanding! Of course, the rest of the staff are exceptional as well! It's a neighborhood go-to which I've been going to for over a decade and the quality of the creative Italian food continues to bring me back frequently.“

“Best Restaurant in Seattle! Cocktails, Apps, Pasta, Protein ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“This is more like a fancy bar with food, they have a huge list of liquor to choose from. We came here for dinner and the food was very good. It's a little bit on the pricier side but priced well for the quality.

We had a number of appetizers including salads, truffle fries, oysters, and steamed clams. The salads were excellent, the truffle fries were good, and the seafood was very good and fresh.

I ordered the black cod for my entree and it was cooked just right (not overcooked), with excellent flavor. Although the food was not Michelin star quality, it's a good solid four stars for food quality, and surprisingly good for this type of venue.

The service was great, the waitress was very friendly and came around often enough so that we never had to go looking for her. We had a people for dinner and they put us in a back room where it was private and quiet, very nice.

This is a great venue for a business dinner, but probably not the best for young kids given the liquor theme.“

“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!“

“Love this place! Great food!“

“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 😋“

“Great restaurant for the whole family! We visited on a weekday and there was plenty of seating available inside, which made it easy to get a table right away. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was attentive, and the food came out quickly. A nice spot to enjoy a relaxed meal together.“

“We went in with a bunch of kiddos and Corey was amazing. He would answer my sons random questions lol I appreciate service like this. Thank you Corey for your patience and phenomenal service! Even after one of our kids had a meltdown you were still very professional and attentive.“

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