This food was absolutely delicious. We had an Americano coffee which was also outstanding. The next time someone asks where I want to eat, this is my choice, no other will do. The food is the star. I will be back. Wish I lived closer, I'd make it more often. I love most Italian food and this restaurant is tops in my opinion. Very fresh and tasty ingredients. Can't wait to try more dishes. It was a great first impression tasting the garlic lemon butter dill sauce with penne and salmon. Fabulous. Thank you for making great food

A Perfect Poulsbo Lunch - Coffee, Clams, and Pure Comfort
Dalla Baia is an absolute gem in the heart of Poulsbo, and my recent lunch here reminded me exactly why small coastal towns produce some of the most memorable dining experiences. From the moment I sat down, the atmosphere felt calm, inviting, and thoughtfully curated - the kind of place where you can actually exhale and enjoy the moment.
I started with an Americano, and let me tell you: it was exceptional. Smooth, rich, and full-bodied without drifting into bitterness. It was one of those coffees that makes you pause mid-sip and think, “Okay… they care about this.” The perfect warm-up for what turned into an outstanding meal.
Then came the clam linguine, and truly, it stole the show. The broth was flavorful and robust — bright with citrus, fragrant with herbs, and layered with that briny sweetness you can only get from fresh clams. Every forkful had that perfect harmony of pasta, aromatics, and seafood. The dish felt both elegant and comforting, like something crafted with intention rather than rushed out of a kitchen.
The presentation was beautiful as well — generous portions of clams nestled against silky linguine, topped with fresh herbs and a sunlit slice of lemon that added just the right lift. (My photos don’t lie — this bowl was as gorgeous as it was delicious!)
The service was warm and attentive without ever being intrusive, and the pacing of the meal made it easy to settle in and enjoy the afternoon.
If you’re in Poulsbo — whether you’re a local or just passing through — Dalla Baia is absolutely worth a stop. Come for the coffee, stay for the pasta, and leave already planning your next visit.

Della Baia rocked my face off! I had high expectations but Angela and team came through! Great place to sit on the patio and sip some wine. Even with some construction happening they managed to maintain a super charming experience. Barbara brought us our wine on the patio and we enjoyed the beautiful oysters, roasted garlic and clams linguini.
If you're anywhere close to kitsap county do yourself a favor...go to DB. You'll be glad you did!
OMG, that focaccia bread appetizer was totally awesome! We stoped by on on a Saturday without a reservation but they were able to seat us at a decent table fault quickly (not enough time to get drink it was that quick) We ordered the Lasagna and 6 oysters. Both were very good. I loved the Lasagna, the best I have had in a few years. Combined with a nice bottle of wine we had a great dinner and will definitely be back again. It would be great to come back in the summer and eat on the outdoor patio.
