15 Best Italian Restaurants in Kirkland

“My girls took me to Cafe Veloce for my birthday and it was amazing! Service was great and the food was superb. I had the Dungeons pasta, yummy!!! It was my first time dinning at Cafe Veloce and will not be my last. Highly recommended.“

“Hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life and it all begins with the dough. #lightsout“

“Food is lovely, good wine selection, prices not outrageous and service was good enough. My only complaint, and it's a serious one, is that the airconditioning blowers in our seating area were very strong and aimed directly at my plate. I'm not exaggerating when I say my food was cold in less than 30 seconds. Staff said they get that complaint frequently for that seating area but they are unable to turn them off or down. I asked for a manager, but he was unavailable for the evening.“

“This was our first time dining in the restaurant. We had Rimini cater an event and that was fantastic, but this was another level of fun and community. The food was exceptional, the entertainment and bringing people together was so much fun. We are 30 plus year Kirkand residents and business owners and this was the most fun we’ve had downtown in a long time!“

“I feel like this is a must try place if you’re at all able to. It’s pricey, but seattle doesn’t have many options like it. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. We were actually more impressed with how the simpler ingredients like the vegetables shined. It’s a great experience for a very special occasion. One thing to check is if you like the flavors incorporated into the menus. There’s 4 different options but you’re likely to experience a lot of the same flavors across different menus and different dishes (ie right now peas are in season so they used those across all menus and lots of dishes were Parmesan and morel mushroom heavy). If you really dislike a certain flavor and it is heavy on all the menus maybe wait a season :) that said I loved the flavors when I went but if someone didn’t they might repeatedly be let down by the various courses. Our reservation was for an early dinner around 5 and it started out quiet and fairly empty and by the time we finished around 8 it was quite busy and a bit louder. We had a wonderful time and will be back to try another season’s menu“

“I don’t usually eat Italian out because I feel I do a good job at home. This place is way better than I can do. The menu/ordering process is a little challenging to figure out but worth the challenge. We’ve been twice and both times excellent. The salads are great, house made mozzarella with these sweet tomatoes and a balsamic reduction - so good! Tonight I had the gluten free pasta with mushrooms and white truffle oil, fried tofu, homemade sausage and ghost pepper oil. It was so freaking good! The atmosphere is fun as well, open, vibrant colors and Italian pop music. Welcome addition to Totem Lake.“

“Amazing food and staff!!!!“

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.“

“Been to many Italian restaurants being Italian living in Australia and to being at Ristorante Paradiso in Kirkland Washington Seattle was the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. Service was outstanding and had the best white wine I have ever had in my life a memorable experience“

“Our entire family (14 people) ate at the Olive Garden in Kirkland tonight and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was delicious and Matthew our server did an outstanding job! He went out of his way to make our birthday dinner celebration so wonderful! Thank you again Matthew and Olive Garden.“

“Excellent salads, entrees and desserts. The four of us enjoyed everything we had. Service from MaryJane was outstanding! Only disappointment was how loud it was. Unfortunately, I left with a headache. It was difficult to have a conversation across a four top table even with good hearing. We'll return, but definitely not at prime dinner hour.“

“Tutta Bella is by far the best pizza place on wallingfor area. The quality of the ingredients are just superior. If you are looking for place to eat a really good pizza, please do a favor to yourself and eat here. My favorite kind is the “Leonardo” with additional of prosciutto. Love it.“

“grate pizza and the baklava with ice cream was awesome“

“Chianti is the place to go for high quality Italian food in Kirkland. I always get the Pescatore pasta that's loaded with seafood and a pizza to share. Good service, patio dining and convenient location.“
