4 Best Italian Restaurants near North Bend

“Food and service is excellent!“

“Gianfranco's is the most unassuming of restaurants, but it shouldn't be. Located in the small, sleepy riverfront town of Snoqualmie on Seattle's Eastside, it feels tucked away and highly undiscoverable, even though it's on the main street through town. Like, you need to be a local to even know it exists. It's quite small and has limited hours and seating, but I think that goes far in catering in a remarkably personal way to every diner. It's cozy, and when every table is occupied, it still isn't noisy. I've been there at least a dozen times over the years. It's my favorite go-to restaurant for birthdays and anniversaries. And the staff and kitchen never fails to impress me. The food is outstanding and the service is friendly and attentive. The bar drinks are awesome, too, especially their lemon drop martini! I usually order a chicken and pasta dish, but my husband got a pizza the last time we ate there. Before tasting his pizza, the best I'd ever had was at a small family-style Italian restaurant in the Bay Area, but it closed decades ago, and I'd failed to find anyplace that served pizza anywhere near as good. But now I have. Gianfranco's! And now I'm ruined for all other pizza! I'm glad I live only 10 minutes away so we can pick up a pie when we're in the mood. Gianfranco's does the whole family-restaurant thing like noplace else and treat diners like they're part of the family, too. I can't recommend Gianfranco's highly enough.“

“Thank you so much to your amazing staff at Francesco Ristorante Italiano! Me and my hubby were greeted so kindly even though they were about to close the restaurant they were so KIND and accommodating and not once did we feel unwelcome, that wasn't even the best part, the food was AMAZING! I had the sausage mushroom truffle pasta, and my honey had the spaghetti and meatballs and they were both delicious! Don't skip on the salads! They are fresh and perfectly dressed.“

“I love Italian food and stopped by here as we were passing through while on vacation and the food was absolutely delicious! The best Italian food I’ve ever ever had, and very quick and kind service :)“
