50 Best Italian Restaurants near Renton

“We love the service, food, and atmosphere. We enjoyed two of this evening’s specials, the Lobster Ravioli with prawns and the Ribeye, both were over the top. Fernando and the Head Chef were both off this evening and the staff and food were as great as if they had been there. They all take their part in the restaurant very much to heart and it shows. Thank you for making Renton your first of many locations to come. Cheers!“

“Absolutely FANTASTIC food and the service is top notch! Our server Veronica was FABULOUS and David the bartender made my daughter the fanciest mock tail! Treat yourself and enjoy the experience!“

“I recently changed my diet to vegan, due to health issues. Decided to try their version of vegan pizza. All I have to say is - LOVED IT! The only thing I would change next time. More veggies and less plant based cheese.
Thank you MOD pizza.“

“This is one of Seattle’s best Italian restaurants. You won’t be disappointed.“

“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“

“Been going here since 1994 and it’s my FAVORITE place to dine in Seattle🩷“

“Great expresso martini! Try 2!“

“It’s nice to have a joint nearby with some Italian bite options since Italian is not as common here compared to elsewhere. Had the rigatoni with some wine and the other half had a type of spaghetti-puttanesca. I wish the wine was cheaper but it’s a quaint place with a nice atmosphere for a date near the Hill on 12th.“

“Charmingly tucked away in Pike Place Market's atrium, you might side-eye the lofty pasta prices for counter-style service, just like I did, until... BAM! You just ate the freshest pasta with height of the season specialized ingredients. You know, like they do in Italy, and it's worth every penny. Have you ever had a walnut pesto with sauteed fiddlehead ferns, leeks, and aleppo pepper flakes? I can't say enough good things about how amazing it was and you get to watch the very cool, friendly crew make everything in the open kitchen. I did pass on the $14 wine pour because that's not right for lunch. That would get me a whole carafe in Italy.“

“La Fontana Siciliana: Belltown's Authentic Sicilian Gem Check my IG lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more pictures and videos of our dining experience. La Fontana Siciliana is a Belltown restaurant offering genuine Sicilian cuisine in a welcoming setting. This Italian eatery is perfect for intimate dinners or larger gatherings, including potential venues for small weddings or family celebrations. We enjoyed a recent meal there and had the pleasure of meeting Rodrigo, the owner who took over two and a half years ago. His passion for Sicilian food is evident in every dish. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a versatile atmosphere. Our meal began with the flavorful melanzane a la parmigiana and a refreshing spinach soup. For our main course, we savored the tortellini cefalu, fettuccine ai funghi, and fettuccine al pesto, all cooked with high-quality ingredient were extremely delicious. The portions were generous, leaving us satisfied but not overly full. To finish, we indulged in the house-made tiramisu and limoncello panna cotta. The tiramisu was a particular standout, beautifully presented in a way that felt almost like a birthday surprise (and they didn’t know mine was just a few days away!). La Fontana Siciliana is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Sicilian food in Seattle. Its inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service make it a Belltown favorite. We will definitely go back! 🤩“

“Absolutely fantastic food. And the service was world Class. Meghan A. is fantastic and made the food adventure outstanding.“

“Live jazz music and one of the only spots left that are still serving dinner after 9pm!! Amazing ambiance, delicious food.“

“Some friends invited us to dinner and from the moment we entered the aromas had our mouths water. Tasty pasta dishes and wonderful desserts. I had the lemon cheesecake and if you like lemon you won’t be disappointed. The seasonal pumpkin cheesecake gave the Cheesecake Factory a run for the money!!“

“The best Italian food in Seattle. The focaccia is probably the best bread I’ve ever had. The heirloom tomato and nectarine marinara is a revelation. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Charming, Italian bistro with high ceilings, personal artwork and photos creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We ate outside and had a wonderful dinner with delicious pasta, seafood risotto and the lasagna. Would highly recommend for a lovely dinner.“

“Our meal at Cinque Terre was amazing. That was seriously some of the best pesto I've ever had. My husband's boar pasta had plenty of meat in the sauce. The pasta was fresh. And they even had some good mocktails - as a non-drinker, I appreciate when a restaurant takes the time to create drinks that make me feel welcomed. The atmosphere was peaceful - not too loud in any way. I would absolutely recommend this place“

“visited the Eve of April 2, 2021: Our server was delightful she was warm and offered suggestive drink psirings that were spot on for what we were looking for to compliment our food. The food was absolutely delicious, and the environment very inviting. The whole evening was a lovely experience. I will definitely be back.“

“great place let's try next time“

“An excellent place to celebrate! My husband took me here as a surprise for my birthday and it did not disappoint. Matthew was an excellent server-prompt, knowledgeable and polite. The food was fantastic, the drinks phenomenal and they really know how to make birthdays special without being over the top about it. We will be back and requesting Matthew as a server soon! Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“We went here after driving by and remembering about the spot. With the amazing view on 99. We were not disappointed. We got a nice spot on their expansive deck and got to enjoy the view and sunset. The staff was very friendly and the manager or owner made sure to check in with us too. We got lasagna and a Caesar salad and both were very very good. This easier was cold and had plenty of dressing and lasagna had a very tasty meat sauce.
We asked about their gluten-free options and it sounds like they might be pretty good. We typically go gluten-free but wanted to indulge. Next time we might go the gluten-free option.“

“For a fantastic casual date night, look no further! The burrata cheese plate here is a masterpiece; the accompanying tomatoes are subtly pickled, offering a unique and irresistible tangy-sweet counterpoint. And the pistachio cream pasta? Pure indulgence—creamy, rich, and exquisitely balanced. Beyond the incredible food, the service is top-notch, rounding out a truly excellent experience.“

“Great service from William, overall the service was 5 star. Really enjoyed the mixed appetizer plate, great bottle of wine on the special. The linguine de mare with the rose sauce was excellent. The raspberry sauce with key lime torte was exceptional. Also enjoyed the boozy tiramisu.“

“Had lunch here today everything was fabulous!! our waitress was on point we loved our service!! If your in Seattle I highly recommend this place 🇮🇹“

“Great food and the tasting menu was able to accommodate our tastes while still being interesting“

“ALL the food was delicious 😋“

“Food was about average. we went here because pricing g and portions seemed reasonable. And it wasn't a tourist trap.... had a local home made feel.... antipasto was average. calamatta olives, prosciutto, and two types of salami with some pita with balsamic. We were disappointed because we initially ordered bruschetta, but they returned to the table and said they were sold out. We ordered a colognes sauce (pork and beef) with pasta that was aldente. we shared that, and a pizza with arugula, tomato, and prosciutto. The pizza crust was done well, but the pizza had little flavor. We sprinkled red pepper flakes to season it, and it worked well. But the overall texture was dry, and I think a sprinkling of a balsamic glaze on this dish would have been perfect. The desert was pistachio gelato. all I can say is that it was very good. They ship.it in from the New York / New Jersey area. The server's timing was perfect, and the owner came and chatted with us. The decor lacks a bit, except for one amazing neon sign, and be aware that the restaurant s8gn is not seen from the street. It is covered up by a tree. It's hard to see. All.in all, though we enjoyed ourselves, would say this didn't rise to the very good level. It was good. It's worth a visit if you want a more homey and less trendy Italian experience.“

“Try the pepperoni rolls!!“

“We absolutely loved our experience at Limoncello Belltown. We will definitely be back! Tip: Don't skip the affogato! Make sure to check out my Instagram @lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more videos of our dinner at Limoncello.“

“Fantastic service for a party of 20 in the banquet room. The food was delicious and the waitress was so flexible and helpful. Even cutTing the birthday cake and returning a forgotten phone & credit card. Thanks for making my birthday perfect.“

“I have been actively avoiding this restaurant even though a lot of my friends swear by the food. The reason being is that they play LOUD music and I’m not a fan of blaring music while dining. I did try the restaurant yesterday as it was nice a a dry day so we sat outside and I’m glad to say they weren’t playing any music at all. The service was great and the food is good they make their own pasta in house and we got the salad which was perfectly seasoned even though they forgot the shrimp, we also had the antipasti and garlic bread with their o house dipping sauce. And I ended up getting the pasta in brown butter and cheese it was divine. Would I come back sure as long as they aren’t playing loud music I’m in“

“Touristy spot, yes. It's wonderful regardless. They have items available only in this particular location that u can't get from anywhere else. The Old Fashioned has such a wonderful balance between sweet n bitters with a coffee aftertaste. Definitely would love to come back again one day.“

“Delicious, gracious and you will even learn some Italian!“

“Authentic, fresh, and entirely delicious. The homemade cannelloni pasta noodles and filling were absolute perfection! Fantastic marinara! And the pizza… amazing. So much for leftovers! And I haven’t even mentioned the kindness of all of the staff. Can’t wait to come back to this gem!“

“Amazing experience! Just wonderful and everything so yummy and I presented perfectly!“

“I really like the pizza here. The crust is not too thick or to thin and the toppings are good.
Reminds me of a hometown pizza place called Campanas over on the Peninsula my folks used to take us too as kids. Toppings were just enough of everything and good flavor. The house red wine is really smooth, restaurant itself is a old Burien school Italian vibe. I will be getting pizza from here again. One of of my top 3. Prices are pretty decent as well.“

“If we (4 of us traveling for a conference) could give it 100 stars we would have! From the greeting, ambiance, food and service this restaurant is exquisite! The presentation of the food matched the flavor and can be described no other way than flavorful and devine! The locals may know of this place but we are considering it the best kept secret for travelers!“

“Food and service was amazing. Highly recommend“

“The food was so amazing n taste so good“

“Great for a family birthday! Or any special occasion.“

“Tulip is such a classic restaurant that we've enjoyed going to for many years. We celebrated our anniversary there this week and had the lamb shank which was delicious. Our waiter William, was awesome-very attentive and gave us good advice about portion sizes. We will be back!“

“Wonderful food and wine .“

“Andiamo has quickly become a family favorite! The service is always amazing—everyone is warm, attentive, and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.

The food is consistently delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with great portion sizes and very reasonable prices. You can really taste the quality in every bite. It’s hard to pick a favorite dish because everything we’ve tried has been so good!

The atmosphere is lovely—cozy, welcoming, and perfect for everything from a casual weeknight dinner to a special occasion. Whether we’re celebrating something or just grabbing a bite, Andiamo never disappoints.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Italian food and a place that truly treats you like family.“

“Delicious food!! Service was great!!“

“WONDERFUL housemade pasta, whole Branzino. Delicious Barbera. Great desserts, great service, amazing olive oil, which sounds funny, but it was really, really good. I would highly recommend La Medusa.“

“Meatball sub was pretty delicious. I’m a big fan of their baguette. They actually have the marinara sauce on the side which is so smart. As soon as it was in the sandwich it definitely got soggy (but that’s expected)

We came in around 1:30ish on a Saturday and omg, not even 20 mins later - they were “sold out”. There’s not too much seating but we were able to snag some stools.

I thought the overall flavor wasn’t special but I felt satisfied and full. The restaurant runs by ordering via an iPad so they call out your name when it’s ready. A good spot to check out in pioneer! Just be warned they sell out easily.“

“The service was amazing and the Pizza was super delicious! ❤The Oklahoma travelers“

“We have gone to this place many times. Great food, the chicken parm is very delicious, served piping hot with the mozzarella all melted on top.

Their pizza is very good too, although to be honest, one time we went they must have had a different person made it because it was meh once.

Minus 1 star because they sent their menu with some coupons. The coupons didn’t state any expiration date, but when we tried to use it today, it wasn’t honored.“
