17 Best Italian Restaurants near Issaquah

“We had the crab ravioli and wild boar. I have been searching for the perfect pappardelle. Found it. We were fighting over whose entree was the best! Service, atmosphere, everything was beyond amazing! We were surprised at the extremely special touches for our occasion. We had been wanting to go for so long but for us it’s a jaunt with our schedules. So we planned our whole anniversary around the Montalcino and its sister restaurant Vivi. (Separate review) The Falls and other fun things were a bonus! Definitely worth the hotel and drive! It wouldn’t let me post the pics 😢“

“I’ve been living in Belfair for 3 years and have seen this tiny, cute silver bullet at the White Barn. Today, we wanted pasta and ended up trying out Wise Guy’s. Let me just say…. the food itself is like when your grandma cooks it. Chefs kiss, amazing.The best part is….. THE DIRTY BURGER AOLI!!!!! I was lucky enough to be there as they were trying out something new. Lucky enough to be the only one too! Please, ask for the dirty burger with Alfredo sauce to dip it in. You will not be disappointed. I brought a few bites home for my partner and even he was in awe!100/10 we will ALWAYS return here! They are just so lovely!!!

Vegetarian options: Soups, salads, marinara/Alfredo sauce.“

“Excellent food and service. A hidden gem“

“Coming from Reggio Emilia (Italy). This restaurant was recommended to us from a friend and they said to us “if you wanna try the REAL Italian food you must go to Firenze”. And so we did. Let me tell you, it was exactly as they told us: Salvatore, the owner, is a beautiful (real) Italian soul and his food reflects that in all the dishes that were brought to our table. The Linguine with seafood were out of this world, and the polpette (meatballs) were the dish that really brought us home in Italy. He also makes his own red italian wine: a must try. Finish up with an espresso and a limoncello and you’d have a true Italian experience. Final note about the staff: amazing. If you end up being served by Lana it’s your lucky day. Thank you guys! Will be back again for sure!“

“Still my favorite hole in the wall bar in Bellevue. But made even better by the great food. When I worked nearby I used to go in a couple times a week. Staff is always friendly, and the place is filled with regulars so it's easy to get to know people.“

“The long lines at the door are a testament of how good the pizzas (with a desi twist) are.. we got the tandoori chicken which was awesome! Be advised, there’s often a wait time; locals advise calling ahead.“

“My husband & I just moved yo Bellevue and this is by far my new favorite pizza restaurant! Definitely try the Roberto pizza with pistachio paste. I was unsure but the flavor is amazing with the italian sausage! Yum!! Love it!“

“There is a MOD Pizza in every city but this is one of the best! Every time I’ve been into this location the staff has been freindly and attentive, they make a great pizza, and the eating area is clean and well organized. They also have a small outdoor eating area which makes for a fun spot for a quick lunch if it isn’t too cold. I highly stopping by for a lunch or quick dinner. You can also order ahead and walk out with the pizza or salad if you are in a rush.
