31 Best Italian Restaurants near Kent

“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!!“

“This is our “go to” pizza restaurant. The food is always fresh, hot and very good.“

“Excellent experience … first time here.“

“I have to say this pizza was amazing. You pay $3 for toppings on a Build Your Own Pizza.... but you get what you pay for! It was loaded. I did want it more crispy but I do acknowledge that I had a lot of toppings on a thin crust that could make that request difficult. Also, the best freaking ranch ever!“

“From the moment you walk in, this Italian restaurant delivers an exceptional experience that feels both authentic and unforgettable. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, striking the perfect balance between elegant and cozy—perfect for a romantic dinner or a relaxed night out. The food is nothing short of outstanding. I had the salmon special, which was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with each element on the plate complementing the fish without overpowering it. My wife ordered the fettuccine with prawns, and it was just as impressive: perfectly al dente pasta coated in a rich, well-balanced sauce, with generous, succulent prawns that made every bite memorable. We finished with tiramisu for dessert, and it was the perfect ending—light, creamy, and beautifully balanced with rich espresso notes. The service truly set this restaurant apart. From start to finish, the staff was exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Every interaction felt personal and thoughtful, from being warmly greeted at the door to perfectly timed check-ins throughout the meal. The team was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and anticipated our needs without ever being intrusive. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made us feel relaxed and well cared for, elevating the entire dining experience. This restaurant captures everything you hope for in great Italian dining: outstanding food, a welcoming atmosphere, and truly top-tier service. An unforgettable experience and an easy 10/10. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“We had a wonderful, impromptu dinner here last night and it was a delight. The place was busy with only two tables available which is great to see, particularly for a Sunday night! The atmosphere was cozy and warm, service attentive and friendly, and the food was hearty, well seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared. We will absolutely be back!“

“Everyone there is super nice and they have great food the cook and the waitresses are super friendly and the regulars that go in are also super friendly and will chat with you definitely recommend going there“

“This lovely gem in Tukwila is definitely worth visiting. Intimate atmosphere good for family, friends or date. The wine menu and menu variety were phenomenal. The server suggesting some of their favorites was a nice touch. This place is top notch and affordable. Definitely recommend.“

“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!“

“Our neighborhood go-to for a reason. My wife and I live nearby and Verrazano's has become one of those places we just keep coming back to. It's the kind of Italian restaurant that feels like a real find — upscale enough for a special evening but comfortable enough to be a regular.

I always order the spaghetti and a Caesar salad, and both are consistently excellent. The spaghetti is classic, done right, with generous portions. The Caesar is crisp and well-dressed. And don't skip the grilled garlic bread — it's incredible. Simple dishes, but that's where you really see the quality of a kitchen, and Verrazano's nails it every time.
The drinks are a highlight too. I'll usually have a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned over the course of dinner, and the bar does a great job with both. My wife rotates between a Moscow Mule and a glass of Browne's Cabernet, and she's always happy. It's a well-curated cocktail and wine program that doesn't get enough credit.

The views of Puget Sound and the Olympics from the deck are a huge bonus — especially during golden hour. Add in attentive, personable service and a warm atmosphere with white tablecloths and you've got everything you need for a great night out.

If you're in the Federal Way area and love Italian food, don't sleep on this place. Five stars.“

“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!“

“Delicious food, great happy hour and such a nice server“

“Wonderful food and wine .“

“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!“

“Really nice early dinner with the Family. service was top notch as was the food. Gustoso.“

“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.“

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

“33 years ago, my new wife introduced me to Vinces. In her previous marriage, Vinces in Renton was the family go to. One bite of Vinces pizza and I was hooked. The only negative is Vince's pizza has spoiled me to every other pizza place in the area. Vinces pizzas are Neapolitan style......much, much better (in my humble opinion) than any other pizza's. Vince's is the place our family always meets for special occasions. We have always been treated very well. My 9 year old grandson told me Vince's pepperoni pizza is his favorite.....it happens to be my favorite too. Writing this I'm starting to crave a pizza! Their other menu offerings are equally excellent. A year or so ago, we stopped for lunch. Out of the blue, I ordered one of their Italian Hero's. I will say it was the absolute BEST Sub/Hero/Grinder I had ever eaten. If you have not been to Vinces, so yourself a favor and try it. You might find you have a new favorite pizza/pasta place. A++“

“It's a very nice restaurant with a clean and comfy atmosphere. The staff was very polite and ast and friendly service.. the only complaint I have is that they don't have an option for salad dressing. They only served with their dressing already in the salad.... My mother in law said her spaghetti was served cold and my fiancee said his soup was boiling hot and blistered his mouth . But all in all the food was delicious.“

“What a great place to eat and be merry! Service and food were top notch! With a very comfortable positive atmosphere and good company it's really hard to beat! Will do it again for sure!! Enjoy it for your self soon, you won't be disappointed!!

“We had the breakfast egg and cheese sandwich and a cinnamon roll. Both were excellent. The eggs and cheese were just right, in a delicious ciabatta bun with creamy pesto. The cinnamon roll was baked to perfection. Looking forward to trying something else the next time we're at SeaTac.“

“Very good 🍕 pizza Mart west Seattle“

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

“The pizza here is by far the best and my favorite in Seattle! The way they cook the cheese and pepperoni under it is ridiculously delicious! Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed!“

“To the dude that made my pizza Sunday night just before closing. Sunday June 7th. Tonight. I think he drives a charger maybe. I don't know but if you see this review I apologize for not leaving you a bigger tip because you are a master at making pizza. No one else puts just the right amount of toppings on it and it was cooked to perfection.

My pizza was perfect I couldn't have asked for anything different or better.

You and I were talking about why the restaurant doesn't serve pasta anymore. I'll get you on the next go round if you're still there dude.“

“Best pizza in town. 5 stars out out 5 stars.“

“I had an amazing breakfast experience! The Mushroom and Swiss omelet was delicious, and the price was totally worth it - $13 for a filling meal with hashbrowns and toast. But what really stood out was the top-notch service. It's refreshing to see such excellent customer care, it's a rare gem these days!“

“It is also known as “Villa Pizza.”

I must say, out of the other pizza joints I have visited, this one puts Pizza Hut, Domino's, Little Caesars, Mountain Mike’s, Roundtable, and Papa John’s to shame. This place has friendly, conversational staff and top-tier Italian menu items that are fresh, diverse, and piping hot. It is hard to find this restaurant, since it isn't common in California. But when I do find it, I go all out. One of the clerks even told me that 5-10 minutes before closing, everything on display is half-priced, before it gets thrown out. That is a good window of opportunity for those with late-night munchies. So come on down to Villa’s Pizza and have a taste of Italy.“

“Nicole made the whole experience amazing from start to finish. The food came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. What really stood out was Nicole’s customer service. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful the entire time, making sure everything was perfect and checking in with genuine care. You can tell she truly values her customers and takes pride in her work. Great food combined with service like this is what keeps people coming back. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. She definitely deserves a raise or a promotion.“

“First of all the employees here must be hand picked wonderful people because everything is come in I'm treated even more wonderfully then the st.this time I had to show my gratitude to Angel and Maverick. They helped me create a special pizza for my 13 yo w a bit of sneaky veggies tucked away and the zaa was still so yummy he didn't even complain.
They were gentlemen from start to finish all to happy to create my salad with a smile and brought our pizza outside to us even tho I said I would come back In for it Angel brought it to us at the picnic table outside.
Please if there's anyway I can have them feel as warm as they did us I would be very grateful.sincerely a forever fairwood plaza mod customer“
