12 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.“

“We took two friends who'd were from out of state. They loved our favorite Kirkland restaurant!! The service is good and the food terrific. Not to mention a great cocktail list. The beautiful wooden bar adds a lovely atmosphere. Five star for sure!“

“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!“

“We had another great experience at Cafe Juanita. I had the vegetarian menu (although I'm not a vegetarian), and my partner had the omnivore menu. As always, the mixed bread plate was fabulous. I loved the chanterelle polenta as well as the radicchio salad. My partner enjoyed the wagyu beef and the Iberico pork. And as always, the parmesan was out of this world. Service, as always, was knowledgeable and professional.“

“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!!!!“
