“Let me tell you about this place!We first tried them 2 weeks ago after I picked my wife up from work. We had the Bella Luna Special pizza and cheese bread. We ate in the car a couple blocks away. They only have delivery and pick up. Anyhow, omg! The pizza, the bread! So fresh, so tasty. I'm always on the hunt for amazing pizza and Italian food. My wife and I were blown away.Today, as of this review, we ate there again. I had the Quatro Formaggio with meat sauce, and my wife had the Gnocchi Gorgonzola. Again, ate it a couple blocks away. Outstanding! And super hot and fresh heh. The Quatro is a baked 4 cheese spaghetti. So good. My wife said the Gnocchi was delicious. If your in Burien or gonna pass by, you should try this place! We live in Covington and drove back again to eat this food. And we will continue to!“
“This place is a hidden gem. Limoncello cake is an explosion of flavor and texture. Quality and fresh ingredients. Perfect atmosphere for family dinner, date, or if you would like to spend a night at the bar and have a meal. Regardless, it’s a must to check this place out. Your taste buds deserve some love.“
“I’ve lived in burien all my life and have never been. I am so upset I have just now tried this wonderful gem. We came in an hour before closing and the food was TOP TIER tasty and hot . Our waitress was so sweet and down to earth and informative. 10/10 we will be back !“
“My family has 5 generations that have eaten at this restaurant. Everyone is always very kind and patient. They always have the same menu but have specials. Usually, 10 or so items on it are often seasonal. Salad with Roquefort dressing and no limit buttery bread with your meal is amazing. You can reserve 2 dining areas, sit in the main area or bar. Sometimes, the food needs a little seasoning, but I imagine that may be due to the older crowd that often eats there. The open kitchen gives a sort of welcoming atmosphere that a lot of restaurants don't have anymore. Please go and try.“
“There is a reason it can be hard to get a reservation at this restaurant. This is a special place. Hands down the best meal I've had in Seattle and some of the best Italian food I've had in the States. The service is top notch, as they go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied and cared for. Chef Katie really cares about the food that comes out of the kitchen and it shows. I highly recommend ordering a few dishes and sharing. Most dishes are perfect for two and you'll want to share in order to get a good sampling of the menu variety. You can tell a lot of heart goes into the food as it hits Italian comfort food spot on. Highly recommend the focaccia and you can't go wrong with any of the pastas, but I recommend the tagliatelle ragù if you're looking for something more traditional. The atmosphere is also a unique experience and makes you feel like you're coming home for family dinner. I highly recommend dining at Il Nido, you will not be disappointed.“
“What can I say - the best. Food is simply fresh, quality, and amazing. Pizza done correctly. The meatballs!!! Will return many times. There must be an Italian behind this restaurant.Vegetarian options: Many options for those who do not eat meats. Check this place out!Kid-friendliness: Kids were very welcome when we were there.“
“It was absolutely fantastic! I felt like I had to find the location; it felt like a secret to uncover. The unassuming exterior did not match the fabulous interior or the magnificent service rendered by the host and servers. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails looked perfectly made, as did their bottle service.What truly elevated the experience was the entertainment. I went on Tuesday night when it was aerial acrobatics!“
“Wow. This place is absolutely wonderful from the service to the food and the ambiance. All staff were absolutely amazing. They were welcoming and attentive at all times. The Cesar salad was refreshing with a touch of lemon and served with complimentary toasted bread. The butter made in house was smooth and creamy with herbs. For the main course we ordered the Tortellini con Piselli and the Lobster Ravioli. The waiter informed us that the Lobster Ravioli is a seasonal special so we were glad to be able to try it. If you love lobster then I think it’s a must try! We were way too stuffed to try dessert but I’ve heard great things about them. Apparently they’re made in house! I can’t wait to try the dessert on my next visit.“
“We love this restaurant. The food and service are always impeccable. We e eaten here twice several months apart. Each time, we were greeted warmly, shown to our table and waited on in an appropriate and timely manner. The cocktails are inspired and the food does not disappoint. Highly recommend.“
“The entire staff was attentive and professional. We enjoyed the food but it was not up to the expectation we thought it should be. However, we would return and give it another try. My husband had the Caprese Salad but the mozzarella was a bit tough.“
“Dined in with family for dinner. There was quite some wait time, the restaurant was very busy. However, the wait was totally worth it. We did the lamb and margarita pizzas with some sides and drinks. The pizzas were really good, light and thin, crispy on the edges and soft on the inside, and had burst flavors. The service was good, very hospitable. The ambience is decent, a little noisy and cramped for sure. It’s definitely worth a try.“
“We had a lovely dinner at That's Amore . We shared a pear salad and the pizza with figs . Both excellent. We also shared scallopine which was also really good but we didn't really have room for all of it. The staff were all friendly, helpful and worked like a family. Definitely a date night success . Will be coming back.“
“We stopped by the restaurant on a weekday and decided to indulge in some pizza, bread, and stuffed mushrooms. Upon arrival, the restaurant was bustling with patrons, and we were informed of a wait. Concerned about our kids getting hungry, we were relieved when they offered us seating in "Nine Hats Wines," which happened to be empty at the time. We ended up enjoying our meal comfortably seated on the couch there.“
“A great place for nice dinners for special occation. Weekdays maybe a lot of business people having large group dinners, and the noise level maybe too high for intimate dinners such as for birthday or anniversary. But the food is just fantastic!“
“Because I was visiting the market, I randomly chose an Italian restaurant for dinner. I ordered two portions of pasta. It was delicious. The shrimp had a strong flavor of shrimp oil and was very fresh. The tomato meat sauce noodles were well seasoned. The sour tomatoes were paired with pasta. Mason cheese powder is very delicious. You must try it if you have the chance “
“Great local coffee shop with a small bit excellent food menu. Had a great dinner of salads, lasagna and eggplant. BIG DEMERIT: completely full at 5:45p in Saturday, and the music was WAY TOO LOUD. Should have been turned down at least 15 decibels. Nearly impossible to have a conversation.“
“I only knew about this awesome Italian restaurant thanks to the Tru hotel and their whiteboard recommendationsAm I ever glad for it, this place is the best Italian food I've ever eaten.The tortellini gorgonzola is (literally speaking) to die for. My friend had the Linguini Marco and was equally floored with itI can't honestly fathom ever going to olive garden again (I know, low bar)“
“5 star service from a family restaurant. I always have a pleasant experience when I order from here. The Chicken Parmesan is AMAZING....the portions are also substantial. I'm moving neighborhood next week, if I had one choice of a restaurant in the area....i wish I could bring Pizzuto's.“
“Attentive service. The space we sat was heated and covered outdoors next to an old building. It was very loud.Food was quite good although we preferred the Tarajin at the original Altura better. The portions are quite small.Bathrooms were clean and the lighting was funny with a dark glow light vibe.“
“We were a group of seven adults coming to Seattle specifically to experience dinner at Luigi's for the first time. We were intrigued to try the Chefs Dinner and it did not disappoint. We paid a set price and had no idea what would be coming, which was a fun adventure. We were served garlic bread, brussel sprouts in a bacon cream sauce, cured meats, roasted peppers with burrata, mixed greens with apples and feta, sausage tortellini with a vodka cream sauce, flank steak over a bed of mushrooms and creamy polenta and cannoli for dessert. It was a ton of food and everything was excellent. Lots of great flavors and colors in the dishes. The space was very open and casual in a neat old building. I expected more of an upscale Italian vibe. There were areas of untidiness back toward the kitchen and bathroom. There was modern rock music playing and a large TV with the football game on. The servers were attentive and unassuming, a little cool at first but warmed to us after a bit. We had a really good time and left fat and happy.“
“Awesome sandwich! Ordered online and it was ready on time - picked up the order and walked over to the king street station and enjoyed our lunch on the Amtrak train!! Great hack for heading out of town, have the Uber drop you at the sandwich spot, it's only a couple blocks from the station! Cubano and spicy salami sandwiches were delicious.“
“I can't remember how I heard about Darkalino's but I knew they served pasta and it was in Pioneer Square. I wandered around today until I found it (sure, I could've made life easier by googling it but I didn't remember the name). After some waffling, I decided on the Aglio E Olio - garlic, Calabrian chili (gives a nice little kick), pecorino finely shaved, breadcrumbs which give a crunchy texture I wasn't quite sure I loved, but might?, olive oil, spaghetti. It was good, I enjoyed it and would recommend. Portion size seemed decent and filled me up but I did eat a PB sandwich an hour later so I probably could've eaten more :) The other dish I will try next is the ragu - feel like you can't go wrong there. I saw other patrons eating the Caesar salad and an eggplant parm sandwich and both looked liked they packed a lot of flavor. On the list of things to try. Servers were great. I came in a little after 12p and sat at the bar to eat since I was alone and only the 4-tops were open. It's a cool space. There's an upstairs seating section and also where the bathrooms are located though I didn't need to use them. I like the exposed brick walls with the contrasting white ceiling. Because it's cavernous with no sound dampening it is very loud. Anyway, great addition to PS!“
“Exquisite menu, superior service. I enjoyed the ravioli and ceaser salad. The ravioli was served perfectly with a savory yet slightly sweet sauce. Sophia, the hostess, made every effort to accommodate our party and we were seated quickly. Dont miss this spot when you're in town.“
“Super friendly staff who care about their customers and great pizza (really tasty sauce!). Good selection of salads, too.Vegetarian options: Lots of salad options and vegetarian pizza toppingsKid-friendliness: 8" personal pizza is perfect for kids and Sahara also sells dough ballsWheelchair accessibility: ADA parking right near Sahara's front door and the Sahara staff will also carry out to the car“
“We thoroughly enjoyed our early dining experience prior to a concert at St. James Cathedral on a Friday evening. The menu options were varied so each one of the three of us got precisely what we hoped for: high quality, scrumptious selections, in a quiet atmosphere, in a timely but unhurried manner. The star of the night, however, was our server, Vanessa, who took her time to take care of us, build a pleasant, warm rapport and provided excellent recommendations based upon our individual preferences. Stella is fortunate to have such a capable and professional representative of an overall exceptionalexperience.“
“Food was delicious. We got the risotto with shrimp & scallops and the scallops with arugula. For dessert we had the affogato, and was pretty good as well, not too sweet the ice cream. Very tasty and quality. We sat and the bar and the guy there was friendly.“
“Very pleasantly surprised! I had pretty low-mod expectations about this place but it was really good especially for the price. We had the eggplant salad, burrata, the ravioli, and the bolognese and all were very good and super fresh. I couldn’t believe how fresh the greens were for especially for “fast food.” We’ll def eat here again.“
“We've been here twice now and have been very pleased both times. The pastas are all homemade and are SO yummy. The portions are generous. We tried the green salad and the burrata starters and those were both excellent, too! Nice atmosphere, kind servers. Overall, we recommend.Parking: If you can't find a spot in front of the restaurant there is more street parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: They don't have high chairs available.“
“Persephone is part of La Medusa. As such you can have drinks here and appetizers. They will then put that on your tab for La Medusa if you're waiting for a table to open there.The bartender, Mark is amazing. Tell him what kind of drink you like and he will custom craft something for you.They have an amazing collection of Amaro's, and bitters to make your drinks. There are also some high-end grocery items you can buy there.“
“The food was great and the service was impeccable. Jackson checked on us frequently to ensure we were able to proceed at the right pace.Definitely allow yourself enough time to do their food justice. Their pasta menu is fairly limited each night, to a few (four?) dishes. The two we had were very good, but if you've someone in the group who wants a specific Italian taste, they may be disappointed.“
“We got lucky with street parking right around the corner but realize had we not found that spot, it probably would have been quite the search. Fun little place with a crazy high noise level. We ordered family style with small plates to share and our server did a nice job letting us know which dishes he would ask the kitchen to add an extra bite to so we could share equally and not have to negotiate who would be left out. Heads up on drinks; there is one white wine and one red wine that are served in a vessel that closely resembles my little cat's water bowl. We ordered a cider and that came in the same 7oz glass for a 12oz price. The mixed drinks were tasty and, in case you're wondering, served in actual drink glasses. The printed menu is supplemented by a specials board that is definitely worth ordering from. We ordered one plate each of arancini and meatballs and highly recommend both. We also had the arugula salad, which was fine, and a butternut squash risotto that used faro instead of pasta. It was warm and comforting. The pizzas are a must! We ordered two and between four people did not have a single leftover piece. We also had cod fritters that we all agreed were a miss. Days later I was still thinking about the arancini and meatballs, so let me drive it home that you have to get them.“
“Only problem I have with this place is that I myself have not spent more money and tried more of their food. Tandori pizza is spicy and super delicious, they have great deals for large pizza' for under $20 and they're really good size. Staff and vibes are awesome, great place.“
“I cannot speak highly enough about Il Bitstro. I have been to this restaurant twice and both times have been superb. From the moment you walk in the door, you feel at home. I am incredibly impressed with the service staff, especially since it was only our servers second night at this restaurant. He was incredibly knowledgeable with the menu and was very personable. We even got to speak with the server who was training him, who was also incredibly nice. She had served us before and she is also a fabulous server. The support staff’s attention to deal was superb, especially with how they packed up our food in nicely folded bags. The food was fresh and delicious and the cocktails were incredible! We talked with the manager. She was passionate, friendly, and clearly cared about the staff. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. I can’t wait to come back.“
“Great food, great service. Happy we went there for the evening, would probably go again. Missed opportunity by staff not acknowledging it was a birthday dinner that I had noted in the reservation. Not a big deal, just a missed opportunity to make it a little more special that's all. Overall a good experience!“

“This could have easily been a one star negative review, because of Jordan, the general manager it is a five star review.Jordan holds and represents the standard as a general manager for Tutta Bella, as he should… because it is a coveted name.We as consumers choose names like Tutta Bella, because of the delicious food, the community, the professionalism, and the authenticity.(In any establishment, sometimes things fall off the tracks.) The representation of a great manager Is one who owns Accountability and swiftly puts everything back into place.Thank you Jordan for being a great manager.“
“I have been to Elemental Pizza a few times now with coworkers on our lunch break. Pizzas come out very fast, and they have Daiya vegan cheese! There are lots of comfortable seating options nearby.Vegetarian options: They have Daiya vegan cheese!“
“This is by far the best Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at. This is a must try restaurant. Everything about the meal was amazing !! Cheese bread starter was perfect,pizza was off the charts good. The main dishes were outstanding. The desserts were amazing. The service was incredible. I will be back and can't recommend this restaurant enough!!“
“I have been here four or five times now, it’s always a good experience overall. Great drinks, some amazing food and awesome desserts. It doesn’t get boisterously loud inside either which I really appreciate. Only took one star off because their food is sometimes not always the same level of excellence. There’s usually one or two items per meal at my table that someone just doesn’t care for. The risotto specifically has been very hit or miss, sometimes way too salty or with way too much cheese in it. But if you know the menu well there are some star items that are always good. The beef carpaccio is a long standing favorite, and I got the egg custard over peach sorbet for dessert last time I went and it was amazing, I almost licked the dish clean.“
