50 Best Italian Restaurants near Mountlake Terrace

“I recommend the Pizza and the Staff. The amazing FREE customer service is fabulous. They really care.“

“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.“

“We went to Amaro Bistro during Seattle Restaurant Week. My burrata antipasto was very tasty. The braised pork shank was tender and excellent. The panna cotta dessert was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food and the Cuvee B Red Blend was also great!“

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

“it’s like being served a fantastic home cooked meal by a professional chef on their day off. Incredible service, and unlike most restaurants in Seattle you leave FULL and satisfied. You can smell your food being made, and the restaurant is incredibly cozy with the kitchen able to be seen from your table. Wonderful experience and the food was amazing! Definitely worth every penny and reasonable prices too! They even gave us our gelato on the house!“

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

“Absolutely delicious — truly authentic Italian pizza, not your typical American-style pie. Every bite tasted fresh and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and if you go, definitely grab a seat at the bar — Tori is adorable and an incredible mixologist! She made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back!“

“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.“

“Brought my family of ten in, and every dish we ordered was excellent. Even better, though, was the timing, professionalism, and warmth of our server. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had from a service standpoint—especially impressive given the size of our group.“

“this place is a hidden gem in edmonds. Delicious authentic food that i grew up with back in ny/ nj area. Highly recommended as it makes me feel like I'm back east Huge portions but well worth the money.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“We were thrilled with everything about this new restaurant. LOVED the food selections, wine was divine and service impeccable. Highly recommend!“

“Outstanding! the penne artichoke! was spectacular!“

“Amazing food and staff!!!!“

“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!“

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

“We had a family dinner last night and enjoyed the “family style dinner” — what a treat! Service was impeccable and i can’t believe they put out such remarkable food from a closet of a kitchen. One of my favorite places in Seattle, the team at Lioness makes you feel like your having dinner ala familia!!“

“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.“

“Pauly’s is the kitchen in the back corner of Earl’s. It’s a reputable purveyor of fine deep fried drunchies. Our selection was the mini combo of onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and jalapeño poppers with waffle fries. Surprisingly served with four different dipping sauces! Don’t be deterred by the metal dog bowl it is served in. I would recommend pairing it very with a Coors Light and a Mariner’s win.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Classic Italian with a lovely well appointed wine list! What a hidden treasure!“

“Been coming here for manyMANY years.“

“A satisfying soup and salad combo at Romeos is my healthy lunch option. I order either the lemon chicken and rice or their classic minestrone. It's loaded with vegetables! Order your salad with dressing on the side if you're counting calories.
There are several items in the menu and..from time to time, i enjoy devouring their lemon pepper chicken wings and the cracker like gluten-free medium sized Margherita pizza!
My daughter in law and the men in my family, after a two hour workout at the gym, crave their soup and crisp salad combo (with dressing on the side). They share a large order of Romeos pizza(their favorite)for a slice or two. Here's to moderation and balanced eating !
This summer we are able to visit more often with our furbaby. The restaurant has a private, outdoor seating for a family of 6 + with a pet or two.
The staff is especially patient, thoughtful and kind. One of the many reasons( easy parking, clean bathrooms, )we choose to have lunch here- always a pleasant visit :)“

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

“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“

“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!“

“This was our second time and we will keep coming back. The food is very tasty and the portions is more than enough. Chris helped me out alot tonight. He was on his break and was willing to get up and help me when I had a question and didn't mind. Was always busy and looked like a hard worker. Big shout out to chria.“

“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.“

“We were seated immediately. The kitchen accommodated our kiddo by serving buttered pasta for them. Loved the burrata with figs. Pasta dishes were well prepared. We had room for dessert and were pleased with the cannoli and kiddo loved the sorbet.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Love this place! Great food!“

“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.“

“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 😋“

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

“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!“

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