“Stopped in today with my husband and toddler daughter. Enjoyed our pizza on their outdoor patio, which had spots in the sunshine for good days and covered spots for when the weather doesn’t cooperate. Fast service and tasty pizza that our toddler ate right up.“

“My wife and I had an amazing dinner. Food was fantastic. Service was impeccable and couldn't have asked for a better night out on the town and an incredible dining experience. I Recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for moderately priced but amazing food. You will not be disappointed, this restaurant is going to be visited by us again next time we're in town“

“Enjoyed the menu’s fresh ingredients, traditional yet innovative twists. Housemade pastas were the stars. Very good wine list and reasonably priced.“

“Family run (I think) and feel restaurant with good food and did not leave hungry. Total casual and easy to feel welcome. Home made food and daily specials. I got the feeling you could ask for alterations to meals and they would accommodate. Chef came out to make sure all was good and definitely knew the regulars. He treated everyone as a regular. Would recommend and will go back.“

“Pizza was great! So was the pasta Fagioli. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Very cute restaurant with cozy atmosphere.“

“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!“

“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 experience and divine food!“

“My family and I regularly go to the Ballard Farmers’ Market and get pizza slices from Vespucci, a pizza vendor with the best pizza in Seattle - hands down. When we found out that they had an Italian restaurant we knew we just had to go. And so we did. All I can say is that the food is some of the best I have ever had, and you just need to try it out for yourself because the whole experience is amazing.“

“We had a meal here for our first time. It was an absolutely wonderful atmosphere and delicious! We ordered a margarita pizza, veggie pizza, eggplant parm, standard pasta and sauce, and more. All of it was fresh and made to perfection. The kids got some gelato and we packed a tiramisu to go- all of which were delicious as well. I highly recommend!“

“Great food. small quaint restaurant with delicious authentic Italian cuisine. Don't pass this place up if you want something delicioso“

“Outstanding! the penne artichoke! was spectacular!“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing food and staff!!!!“

“One of the best meals you can have in Seattle. Everything was great from start to finish, living up to the hype. The big surprise was how good the wine pairings were and the sommelier was a star too. Cafe Juanita doesn't have the views of Canlis but the food is better. Take your girlfriend to Canlis and bring her to Cafe Juanita for a wedding anniversary.“

“The pasta here can be changed into noodles! We ordered 🍅 Bolognese Rigatoni meat sauce is super super super fragrant! The tomato flavor is very strong, and the minced meat is a combination of balls and minced meat. It tastes rich and rich. It is a Bolognese meat sauce that you can never go wrong with. 🦐Spicy shrimp bucatini is very unique! It feels like chopped peppers❤️The shrimps are very big! It’s not particularly spicy, but it’s fresh and fragrant. It’s a dish that is very suitable for Asians😁 🍕I think the most delicious pizza! Pepperoni & Calabrian honey pizza The king of salty and sweet taste🔥The cheese that can be drawn and the right surprise honey are simply a bit ecstatic! After the pepperoni is roasted, it is full of fat, and the crispy and slightly hard texture👍There are whole garlic grains that have been roasted to the texture of potatoes on it! I really beg you to try it!“

“My favorite place to eat in Ballard - the food, the staff and the atmosphere are all a delight, every time! They even cater to special dietary requirements and do a vegan pizza with actual vegan cheese (rather than just the bland stuff you’d normally get in most places), and their wholewheat crust is to die for! They also do the best dolma and the best hummus veggie platter. My whole family and I keep coming back, thank you!“

“I always get my Salad its the best , all the vegetables are fresh. Its the best salad ive come across in my area. ive had it at least 100xs. It's consistently the best! if you want a great authentic Italian dish, this is your spot.“

“Excellent Italian cuisine in a cozy, family owned, neighborhood restaurant atmosphere for over thirty years. Highly recommend it.“

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.“

“Amazing service and great menu! 5 star review. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Lovely location in Edmonds. Every time I have eaten here the food has been delicious.“

“Delicious food and great service! Best Italian food I’ve had in ages! Highly recommend this place!“

“It's a bar on the college strip. Before 10pm everything is easy & accessible...after 10pm the college crowd comes in to enjoy their youth. If their enjoyment is an issue to you, STAY AWAY...if you just wanna hv a good time with cheap drinks & 3 $1 pool tables (no matter the crowd)...here is your spot...“

“Excellent experience! The food was superb, the service impeccable. An added bonus was the tribute to Burt Bacharach, with many songs played by a violinist. We will definitely return.“

“We had a wonderful meal last night and our server, Reagan was terrific. I come from many many years of restaurant/italian food experience and was very pleased with the experience at Saltoro.“

“Always a great place to take friends! We had dinner with a Legend last night Cliff McCrath! My college soccer Coach!“

“With restaurant prices in Seattle so high, my husband and I are very particular about when, where and why we go out, so we tend to have very high expectations when we do go out. Last night was my husband’s birthday and we chose to give Lioness a try. We had a fabulous time! The service was perfect, our servers were so nice and perfectly attentive without hovering. I ordered the Lioness martini, and at $25, I was expecting something out of this world. It delivered! We ordered the burrata, Billy’s tomatoes, gem lettuces and the cavatelli pasta. Each dish was fantastic! There have been reviews complaining that you only get one slice of bread with the burrata, but the slice was big, thick and perfectly toasted, it was plenty for sharing the dish! The tomatoes had a nice spice, chili oil? Beautifully balanced. The gem lettuce salad was delicious, again a good balance between the nuttiness of roasted hazelnut in the vinaigrette and the salty creaminess of the grated cheese on top, The cavatelli was my least favorite, the pasta was a bit heavy for the sauce, I felt that a spaghetti or angel hair, being more delicate, would have been better with the fantastic sauce, but it was still delicious! We finished the meal with the chocolate cake, a beautiful sweet but not too sweet ending to a great meal. When you are spending over $200 for two, you want it to be worth it and our experience at Lioness was. Thank you Renee and you wonderful staff!“

“Ate their paneer biryani and it was the worst in the area. I'm surprised because you would think with so many Indian restaurants around, this place should've checked competition before starting it.“

“Been coming here for manyMANY years.“

“I like this place. Been driving past it a couple of times, but one day juat decided to check it out. They sell sphagetti in buckets! Which is a very delightful news for a sphagetti lover, like myself. Food is delicious. People who work there are nice. Great place overall!“

“Classic Italian with a lovely well appointed wine list! What a hidden 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 front of the house could use some smiles and a better attitude for greeting people. We were seated quickly though and that's a plus for me. The waiter was great to start and faded out near the end of the meal. It was busier so I get it. The food was on par for the olive garden but, the bread sticks were dry ish... That's hard to explain. I had to turn down the music a little for the room we were in but that was cool to be able to control it how I wanted.
Now, would I go back there... Yes. Could it have been better... Yes. I like happy smiling people that great you and ask how you are doing, even if they don't care. It's just courtesy.“

“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!“

“The food here matches the service and experience. It's not a big restaurant by any means, but that is what makes this location unique. I have never had a bad experience here, so much so I visit almost weekly now. The staff is awesome, Gizel has even walked my order out to my car for a carryout“

“I recommend the Old Spaghetti Factory! The spumoni is the best anywhere! What I wish is that you put the Angel Hair [Capellini] Pomodoro back on the menu as it has always been my favorite on the menu. I can always make it at home but it wouldnt be as great! They did not even have angel hair available for me to somehow piece meal it together off the menu! Outrageous! Please bring it back! Easy to make and economical. Thank you 😋“

“seriously the best gluten free pizza in town!! I always get the green dahlia— I’ve never gotten sick from any gluten contamination, they always go above and beyond to insure there is the least amount of gluten contamination possible. We meet Mike today, who makes the dough early before they open, since there is NO wheat flour floating in the air. I always appreciate the extra effort and kindness from this epic pizza restaurant!“

“Every meal I've ever had there was good. And the service was spot on.“

“Love this place! Great food!“

“Best Restaurant in Seattle! Cocktails, Apps, Pasta, Protein ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“As a vegan with Celiac Disease I was so happy when I walked into Razzi’s and had an entire huge menu to choose from! I wanted to order everything! The food was delicious! I can’t wait to go back!“

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

“The staff has always been so friendly and inviting, food here is very good! I have been here a few times now and it definitely does not disappoint, their pizza and pasta is delicious!!!!“

“Olympia pizza is how our family celebrates a great day!“

“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.“

“This place is wonderful… the food is great. Highly recommend.“

“I went to this same restaurant a few months ago and gave them a poor rating based on a meal I ordered.
Last night's visit was very positive. I very much enjoyed the meal I ordered. Very delicious.
Parking is a pain. While there is allot of parking, they have disabled parking (not very many), too, the entire lot is behind the building and you have to walk half way around.
For those with ambulatory issues, best to drop them off alongside the restaurant.
While parking isn't the most ideal, their food is worth it.“
