“the vibe inside is really homey. the price point is great. I was able to comfortably order a few things to try. I also think the portions were good. the duck ragu was very good. I enjoyed that plate very much. the sauce pairs with the duck very well. it's fork licking good. the carbonara I didn't care for, I didn't finish it. it didn't taste quite balanced. also my pasta was under cooked. I checked to see if maybe I was given buccatini on accident but no, it was just underdone spaghetti. overall, I'll try it again. my experience I think was good for a first visit“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Beautiful heart. Thank you for supporting a women in our crisis center. Everybody raved about how good everything was. 💛“

“Everything about this place is absolutely amazing!!

The servers are very well educated and even remember special notes about you. My server was Carly and I absolutely adored her. She was so sweet and checked in on me each step of the tasting menu. Even when I was a tad bit overwhelmed by selection choices, she walked me through everything and recommended a few items.

The food melts into your mouth. I had some of the best scallops I have ever tried and I got to try quite a few new things that I didn't know I would enjoy, like caviar.

I can't wait to be back with my fiance!“

“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“

“My wife and I have come here for the drinks and occasionally truffle pommes frites or some oysters, but this time we tried some of the other menu items for dinner. My wife got the Halibut (Chapter 6) and I got the Mushroom Pasta dish. (Chapter 5)

I asked Casey if he recommended the mushroom dish and he said it was one of his favorites. I'm not a foodie, so I don't get overly excited over food but let me tell you... It was so good that it prompted me to write a review about it. I actually felt an endorphin rush from eating it! My wife loved the halibut, (which I also tried) and I would say getting her to eat fish is usually a challenge unless her fisherman father prepares it!

I would recommend a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, which Casey also pointed me towards some new Rye to try. Fantastic as always!

I had placed an order for oysters but apparently they were forgotten, but I was so enamored with the mushroom dish that I didn't even care. Casey offered them to me on the house as he felt bad, which was a very nice gesture. I wasn't upset at all!

Now we would like to try all the other dishes, because if both meals were that good, how can they miss with anything else?

I didn't take photos of the food because I inhaled it :)

Thanks Casey and the rest of the staff for great service and amazing food/drinks!“

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

“We had a wonderful experience at Olivia Garden with our family and kids. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everyone had a great time. A special thank you to Rosa for providing such outstanding service. She was friendly, attentive, and made our visit even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate her kindness and look forward to coming back again. Highly recommend!“

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

“Amante pizza and pasta was pretty great! Walked in on a Saturday evening, and got my order fairly quickly. Service was quick, the staff was super friendly and attentive to customers. They sell pizza by the slice too which was a great option! Got some halloween deals going on right now. Will be coming back for more ☺️“

“Decided to try this place despite some of the reviews. Great views, service was great and quick. I got a risotto and my husband ordered a pizza. We were pretty hungry and the food took less than 15 minutes, plus it was DELICIOUS! The 3% credit card fee is clearly stated in their menu.“
