4 Best Italian Restaurants near Port Townsend

“Every time I'm visiting a proper coastal town, solid seafood is on my agenda. That's what I came to Silverwater for. But I was blown away! My meal was plated with intention and cooked wonderfully. (Now that I've tasted fondant potatoes, I don't think I'll ever go back!) It was so delightful I turned my phone upside down and intentionally slowed my eating just to enjoy it. Rarely can I turn off my mind and just be in the moment, so this was a true gift. Paired with happenstance live music and attentive and warm staff, it was a genuine culinary experience I won't soon forget.

A shout-out to Barry, my waiter. His service was excellent to me, but what made him stand out was how he commended his kitchen colleagues for their skills, and how he treated another guest, a child. He crouched to her level for their conversation, rather than speak over her. It was an intentional and dignified choice, and it was reassuring that he was genuinely good at what he does and it wasn't for show.

When next I'm in town, I will absolutely be back.“

“Could use some updating. There's some arcade games but they barely work. Service was okay. Didn't seem like anyone was happy to be there. No one smiling. Also I'm not a fan of ordering at the counter. I would prefer you seat us, give us a menu and take our order. The pizza was good but nothing to write home about. Had the all meat pizza and everything falls off. Maybe throw some extra cheese on after the toppings to hold it in place?“

“The Old Alcohol Plant is an absolute gem! I had the pleasure of being part of a beautiful wedding here, and I was blown away. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, making sure everything ran smoothly. The venue itself is stunning, with a gorgeous view that creates the perfect atmosphere for any celebration. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, party, or special event, this place is top-notch. Highly recommend!“

“We come here often, I'm definitely not getting any thinner, but that is only because I have no self control when it comes to this pizza 🍕 it is the best pizza. I have never had better 🍕 the lunch buffet is really the best meal on the island. And the staff is great too, super friendly, and they never pizza shame me when I come in for the second time in the same week...or third time“
