The food was great. the waitress had some issues with remembering. Felt like this was not new, as other staff would pick up the slack

We have our favorite Italian restaurants but decided to try this one after seeing the overall rating and looking at the website. At best we were under whelmed. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms, chicken parmigiana, and paparadelle with wild mushrooms and truffle sauce. The chicken was rubbery and the marinara was very watery, the paparadelle had too much heavy cream sauce that overwhelmed the truffle flavor. It was all just average at best, nothing stood out. They show an extensive wine list on their website but only had house selections for the most part on the back of the menu and we were told they don't have a wine list anymore.

We've been driving by this restaurant for years and didn't know we were passing a hidden gem! We went for date night, which proved to be a fabulous choice: outdoor seating, delicious freshly baked rosemary bread and cocktails, followed by flavorful main entrees and dessert. If you love seafood, try the maccaroni with lobster or scallops with angel hair, and tiramisu for dessert. You will leave satisfied! Attentive service too...we will definitely be back.

Oh my goodness the homemade bread was amazing! The salad was fresh crisp and delicious, and my pasta was cooked to perfection! A complete gem! This place is amazing! I can't wait to go back! With kids, on a date night, or alone, what a wonderful experience! Thank you so much!

The food was not what I expected.... in a great way. Unique dishes with bold flavors. I am not a bread fan typically but the homemade rosemary bread was too good to stop eating. Everything was perfectly cooked with the filet mignon being extremely tender and the prawns juicy. I want to try every one of their pastas now!

TL;DR- everything was excellent, will definitely be back!We started with the caprese, it was fresh and tasty. For dinner my wife ordered the bistecca romana (filet), while I had the rigatoni paesana (penne with a spicy red sauce).The rigatoni was very tasty. A modest dish featuring a creamy sauce, very well executed.The bistecca was a real star though. I couldn't help but admire the presentation when it was brought out- the thick cut stood tall on the plate surrounded by sauteed mushrooms. But it was more than a pretty face, cutting into the meat it was prepared perfectly (medium rare), and delicious!We'll definitely be back again!

The food was delicious and plentiful. We took home enough for another meal. We had the rice croquettes, lasagna, and lemon shrimp with capellini. We drank a bottle of house wine. All was wonderful. The ambiance was okay, not terribly romantic. I understand there will soon be live music on Thursdays. We'll go back for that and the good food. We might order less next time.
The food was excellent and surpassed our expectations. Literally one of the best meals we've had out since before the pandemic. Our daughter who lives in S. Cal bought us a gift certificate. She didn't realize how far Normandy Park is from Shoreline, but we sure are happy we discovered great restaurant and we WILL be making that trip again soon!! Highly recommend Bistro Baffi!
