14 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.“

“My companion is severely celiac (autoimmune disorder to wheat/gluten). The staff made an effort to point out what was "safe" on the menu, but despite a note on the menu about gluten cross contamination from their fryer, two dishes arrived with fried garnish. I suggest the chef/management/staff should better educate each other.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rimini blew us away! Far beyond a regular pizza place, it’s a full Italian experience. 🎶 Amazing live accordion, our talented waiter Gino, and a surprise rendition of “Bella Ciao” made the evening unforgettable.

Food was flawless, wine selection excellent, and every detail perfectly orchestrated. A delightful surprise and an experience we won’t forget! 🍕🍷✨“

“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.“

“Always amazing food that's well balanced in flavors and using the highest quality ingredients. The night I went was their first night with Alba white truffles and it was amazing! Some of the most flavorful and aromatic white truffles that I've had. Their service is always on point as well, I like to describe their service as elegant without being stuffy. Just a wonderful experience overall.“

“Amazing food and staff!!!!“
