Sip Restaurant and Wine Bar

We love it and loved the food

Gracious hosts! Just stopped for a glass of vino rosso which satisfies so well, then went with recommended fettuccine, al dente, sauce both fresh and depth of flavor, spice got my attention but didn't overpower, portion size a bit larger than expected but none left to take home! Returning soon!
Update: always a decision whether to enjoy it all now, or take home for a delicious snack later; either way is good!

They are closed now. It’s an Italian place now!

Nice Italian place. I attended a corporate party, so I don't know know how it will be for everyone else.

The food is absolutely amazing, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is authentic - warm and cozy. What more could you ask for an Italian restaurant to offer. Go for a birthday, and you may be surprised by a couple of songs ?.

Every meal I have had here makes my taste buds sing! Fantastic flavors in each dish. Authentic Italian flavors. Fernando welcomes you; often served by family members; Uncle Tony sings at your table from opera to Frank to ??; ambience is warm & friendly. Family owned by Fernando & the Nardone Family. Highly recommend!

SIP is CLOSED! New restaurant in its place is Amarone Ristorante & Bar.SIP was good pre-pandemic but never recovered. The service and food never returned to their former glory. The result is that it CLOSED.

We’ve always loved this place. Tried the new Brunch menu today. Food was good, eggs Benedict was perfect, and omelette also great! Needs Bloody Mary’s on menu. Service was ok, very nice server but timing was a bit off, long absences… we’ve also noticed a lack of attention to detail, bathrooms needed tending, food on the floor, a piece of broken glass in the stonework on the wall and paper taped to bathroom door like nobody knows what WC is, that’s one of kitschy things we love, the weird bathroom! Just needs a little love & attention.

Outstanding meal can’t go wrong with this place plus the have music on Wednesday and Friday evening

We had a large group and service was slow. They weren't asking if we needed a another glass of wine/beer. Medium Rare ordered but got well done. Atmosphere is good.

Good place for a happy hour and glass of wine in Issaquah. The staff is attentive and offer a great time. We sat at the bar and had a few small bites. Overall, the taste and drinks were good and enjoyable.

Stopped in on a rainy cold night, greeted by hostess and sat next to fire. Place was quiet, but yet busy. You could have a nice conversation and dinner in a really nice atmosphere.

Great personal service and ambience under the new administration. The Italian dishes are authentic and cooked to perfection. The wine list is superb. Looking forward to returning soon.

Unfortunately our server was not interested in our table. We were greeted by her after sitting there for almost 20 minutes. Food was way over cooked and service was absolutely absent throughout. Extremely unfortunate. Management tried to make up for the lack of service. We are glad this place will soon be under new ownership/kitchen/staff. We will be back and looking forward to a new experience.

It was so wonderful to be back dining with the Nardone family! As always they never disappoint. The restaurant is beautiful with a gorgeous fire burning, stunning ambient lighting throughout and a great vibe. The food was superb and I am elated with the announcement that SIP will now be Amarone. There are not many Italian restaurants that Italians truly love the food. Once you try SIP/ Amarone this will be a restaurant that will be a favorite!
