50 Best Italian Restaurants near Burien

“Fantastic service for a party of 20 in the banquet room. The food was delicious and the waitress was so flexible and helpful. Even cutTing the birthday cake and returning a forgotten phone & credit card. Thanks for making my birthday perfect.“

“Delicious, gracious and you will even learn some Italian!“

“Wonderful food and wine .“

“I really like the pizza here. The crust is not too thick or to thin and the toppings are good.
Reminds me of a hometown pizza place called Campanas over on the Peninsula my folks used to take us too as kids. Toppings were just enough of everything and good flavor. The house red wine is really smooth, restaurant itself is a old Burien school Italian vibe. I will be getting pizza from here again. One of of my top 3. Prices are pretty decent as well.“

“We had the pizza delivered to our hotel. On time delivery and excellent pizza.“

“Il Nido is my favorite restaurant in Seattle. Everything about this restaurant is five stars, the food, the service, and overall experience is amazing. You definitely want to book a reservation as they can be busy especially on weekend nights.“

“If you can snag a reservation here, do it — but honestly, even if you can’t, they hold a few tables each night for walk-ins, and it’s so worth the wait. The Pink Door is one of those rare places that’s somehow both trendy and timeless. Every corner feels thoughtfully curated — chic, eclectic, and a little bit artsy — and when the live music starts, it’s pure magic. We were lucky enough to be seated in the back dining room overlooking the Ferris wheel and the Salish Sea, and the view alone could’ve made the night. But then came the food — and wow. From the appetizers to the pappardelle pasta and rabbit (plus alllll the bread), everything was beyond delicious. Huge shoutout to our server, Jeannie, who was amazing — warm, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. We left already planning our next visit. This place is beautiful, delicious, and full of charm. We’ll definitely be back!“

“ALL the food was delicious 😋“

“We love the service, food, and atmosphere. We enjoyed two of this evening’s specials, the Lobster Ravioli with prawns and the Ribeye, both were over the top. Fernando and the Head Chef were both off this evening and the staff and food were as great as if they had been there. They all take their part in the restaurant very much to heart and it shows. Thank you for making Renton your first of many locations to come. Cheers!“

“The best Italian food in Seattle. The focaccia is probably the best bread I’ve ever had. The heirloom tomato and nectarine marinara is a revelation. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Another exceptional dinner at Tulio’s on 12/3/25! I live about an hour south of Seattle but I always come here for my birthday dinner which I’ve been doing at least for the past decade. The gnocchi is amazing and we each had the black cod, the best I’ve ever had. Amazingly, for the past few years we’ve gotten the same server - Chris P. He ensured that our experience was very special, from his recommendations to the candle in my gelato! Thanks Chris!“

“Went there once and truly loved everything about it.“

“Charmingly tucked away in Pike Place Market's atrium, you might side-eye the lofty pasta prices for counter-style service, just like I did, until... BAM! You just ate the freshest pasta with height of the season specialized ingredients. You know, like they do in Italy, and it's worth every penny. Have you ever had a walnut pesto with sauteed fiddlehead ferns, leeks, and aleppo pepper flakes? I can't say enough good things about how amazing it was and you get to watch the very cool, friendly crew make everything in the open kitchen. I did pass on the $14 wine pour because that's not right for lunch. That would get me a whole carafe in Italy.“

“This was by far the most delicious and incredible Italian food I’ve had in my life. The service was impeccable. I truly felt like a queen, and my daughter and I were treated like absolute royalty from the moment we walked in.
A huge shoutout to our amazing server, Christina, who delivered not only phenomenal food, but a surreal customer experience. She was attentive, knew all the specials by heart, and was genuinely warm and pleasant throughout the night.
I’ll definitely be returning to this outstanding restaurant to celebrate more anniversaries and milestones, just like I did tonight. The view is stunning, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the customer service is unmatched.
Five stars all around. If you want authentic, mouth-watering Italian cuisine paired with exceptional service, look no further than Verrazano’s. 💯“

“This may be my new favorite Italian restaurant! Came here on a whim and was so impressed. The food was perfect. We got the lasagna and the steak and I can’t decide which was better. Best lasagna I have ever tried, the steak was cooked to perfection. Our server April was so warm and kind! She made our experience that much better. We will be coming here every time I’m craving Italian. Highly recommend for anyone who wants the most authentic tasting Italian food ever!“

“Some friends invited us to dinner and from the moment we entered the aromas had our mouths water. Tasty pasta dishes and wonderful desserts. I had the lemon cheesecake and if you like lemon you won’t be disappointed. The seasonal pumpkin cheesecake gave the Cheesecake Factory a run for the money!!“

“If we (4 of us traveling for a conference) could give it 100 stars we would have! From the greeting, ambiance, food and service this restaurant is exquisite! The presentation of the food matched the flavor and can be described no other way than flavorful and devine! The locals may know of this place but we are considering it the best kept secret for travelers!“

“Food and service was amazing. Highly recommend“

“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“

“Always amazing service and food. Wonderful space and visit as much as we can!“

“great place let's try next time“

“Authentic, fresh, and entirely delicious. The homemade cannelloni pasta noodles and filling were absolute perfection! Fantastic marinara! And the pizza… amazing. So much for leftovers! And I haven’t even mentioned the kindness of all of the staff. Can’t wait to come back to this gem!“

“Try the pepperoni rolls!!“

“WONDERFUL housemade pasta, whole Branzino. Delicious Barbera. Great desserts, great service, amazing olive oil, which sounds funny, but it was really, really good. I would highly recommend La Medusa.“

“My favorite menu items are the salads! Big portions and great flavor. Lots of pizza options or build your own. Nice bar. Staff is friendly, personable and want to be sure you enjoy your dining experience. They have 3 booths towards the back of the restaurant which we prefer over table and chair option.“

“Absolutely FANTASTIC food and the service is top notch! Our server Veronica was FABULOUS and David the bartender made my daughter the fanciest mock tail! Treat yourself and enjoy the experience!“

“DELICIOUS! The sandwiches are very filling and have quality ingredients. The house garlic and herb spread is amazing. In regards specifically the cuban- while not exactly like the ones from Florida, it was still fire. The shop itself was also very cute.“

“Delicious food!! Service was great!!“

“We have gone to this place many times. Great food, the chicken parm is very delicious, served piping hot with the mozzarella all melted on top.

Their pizza is very good too, although to be honest, one time we went they must have had a different person made it because it was meh once.

Minus 1 star because they sent their menu with some coupons. The coupons didn’t state any expiration date, but when we tried to use it today, it wasn’t honored.“

“My partner and I found Darkalino's when searching for best meatballs in Seattle, and they did not disappoint! Everything here is excellent, the focaccia with the disco sauce, the pastas, and the salads, etc. The staff is awesome and it's in a great location near the stadiums so you can get some quality food before a game. We love this spot so much that we had our wedding dinner of 8 here! Jamie and her team was exceptional - extremely responsive and communicative, helped with sourcing flowers for the table, workied with us on the menu, etc. Cannot recommend Darkalino's enough!“

“An unforgettable experience at Starbucks Reserve! Brandon was an exceptional host and made the Art of the Espresso Martini Experience truly special. The class was not only fun but incredibly informative. I learned so much about Starbucks' history, coffee culture, and what makes the Reserve unique. Brandon taught me how to craft the perfect espresso martini and shared some impressive barista and mixology tips along the way. The food pairings were delicious and highlighted just how versatile the espresso martini can be—perfect with both sweet and savory bites. I also had the rare treat of being the only guest that afternoon, which made the experience feel like a personalized masterclass. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique, educational, and delicious experience!“

“The service was amazing and the Pizza was super delicious! ❤The Oklahoma travelers“

“We came all the way from Denver to enjoy dinner here and we were not disappointed! The food, ambiance, staff…all first rate! What a wonderful meal.“

“Came here after a very long shift to have dinner with my mother and our server was absolutely wonderful, he was so nice and would check up on us often and then was able to give us our meals in a timely manner, whether it was the chef’s doing or his, our experience was amazing. Enzo was wonderful and I hope to have him as our server next time.“

“Fresh ingredients you get to talk to the owner right there as he makes sure the most delicious sandwich you’ve ever had so many amazing fine I’m Italian products. You can’t get anywhere else… it truly is a treat!!“

“Great place for date night.“

“Love this comfortable place in the heart of Seattle. Great proximity to two theaters.“

“I was shocked at the size of the calzone I received for only $17! Very hearty, very satisfying on a rainy day at the airport, very affordable, wait wasn't more than seven minutes despite the long line and baking the calzone fresh. Plus its super tasty 😋“

“This place is really amazing. The Hispanic lady running to pizza kitchens is amazing. She’s can totally multi multi task.“

“Excellent experience … first time here.“

“We are from Lake Oswego Oregon, and Palm Springs California and I wish we had this restaurant in our neighborhoods. Everything about this restaurant is sublime. Be careful with the bread, I could make a meal out of it with a glass of wine. Max our server was has attentive as he was last year. He took great care of us. What is most surprising is the fabulous food at such a reasonable price. Haven't experienced that in very many restaurants lately. Keep up the excellent work!
Robert and Dianna“

“Their food is some of the best in Seattle. If you haven’t been there, you need to go and experience 84 Yesler. On par with the finest dining around.“

“Super fun place with hospitable fun staff! The staff are absolute troopers and super ninjas with entertaining personalities. And the food was 10/10 stars, absolutely delectable and I wanted to basically lick off my plate haha. You’ll need to be patient because they’re understaffed (not their fault, it’s the same as many other places!!!). 100% worth the wait. Great atmosphere and well decorated. located by a beautiful park with pretty old growth trees.“

“Great food and great service. Our little is already asking to go back. She loved her ceaser salad and Chocolate cookie and said she really liked our waiter, he was funny.“

“Waiter forgot to put in one persons order but there was enough food without it“

“Great place pizza is amazing, and garlic twists are recommended 100% good prices and the staff are very nice people just great place overall“

“Our kids looove this place, especially Bruno the owner, who gave them a bonus macaroon each ;)“

“The manager here is completely rude to his customers and his staff. Refuses to refund or replace and item made incorrectly. Just terrible customer service. Think twice before giving your money to such a terrible person. Read many other reviews that talk about how the staff here is treated. The food is mediocre at best, but even of it was better, service matters. I'd encourage the owners to think about how they treat people and how they would like to be treated as a customer when the business was at fault. Disgusting. There were mushrooms sent to a kid with an allergy when it was clearly noted on the order to leave them off, there was a hair in the pizza. I would encourage the owner to take a class in customer service and learn to do what is right instead of being rude and snarky.“
