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

“I loved the stunning views of Lake Washington from this spot. The food was delicious—I ordered the salmon, grilled octopus, and a refreshing spritz drink, all of which were perfectly prepared. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff enhancing the dining experience. Another bonus is that they validate parking, making it even more convenient to enjoy the meal without worrying about extra costs. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great food, service, and a beautiful setting. I highly recommend it for a memorable dining outing.

Parking: They validate parking.“

“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!“

“Love the dining experience and server. Our server is Kendra (if I'm spelling right). She is the best! So energetic and welcoming. Her introduction made me feel her passion about food and wine that she was serving. Will definitely come back.“

“Amazing food and staff!!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“The first time I went to olive garden was with my mom and my grandma. The wait wasn't too long even though the restaurant was full. We got seated and our server was super nice. Not only that but the food was delicious. You can repeat soup and salad and even take bowls of these ones home. The amount of kindness that this place has is super heartwarming. Honestly, one of the best restaurants I have ever laid a foot on. Every once in a while I go with my family or my friends, which by the way two weeks ago I went there after homecoming. Even though they were about to close, they were still super nice and the food was just as great. One of my friends left a big tip that night. Recommend 100%“

“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.“

“It's odd to be recommending a pizza place at a gas station, but this place makes the best tasting pepperoni and Hawaiian pizza in the puget sound since Atlantic Street pizza closed in the U district. This place is a hidden gem. The pizza you get looks like the picture and tastes great. Highly recommended.“
