“We love Angelo's! Tom and Lisa the owners are awesome and we love Olivia she is a sweetheart. The food is off the charts good. They are truly a gem and we are lucky to have them. Everything I have had here is absolutely amazing but it's hard to get away from the pizza because it is so good! We live in Bonney Lake and we happily make the drive as often as we can. That's how good it is! They put all of the other pizza and pasta houses to shame by a long shot!“

“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!“

“Really nice early dinner with the Family. service was top notch as was the food. Gustoso.“

“First of all the employees here must be hand picked wonderful people because everything is come in I'm treated even more wonderfully then the st.this time I had to show my gratitude to Angel and Maverick. They helped me create a special pizza for my 13 yo w a bit of sneaky veggies tucked away and the zaa was still so yummy he didn't even complain.
They were gentlemen from start to finish all to happy to create my salad with a smile and brought our pizza outside to us even tho I said I would come back In for it Angel brought it to us at the picnic table outside.
Please if there's anyway I can have them feel as warm as they did us I would be very grateful.sincerely a forever fairwood plaza mod customer“

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

“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“

“Great expresso martini! Try 2!“

“Went there once and truly loved everything about it.“

“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“

“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! 🤩“

“Fantastic experience. Anyone who can take a humble dish like fries and elevate it has my respect, AND tell people y’all ain’t getting ketchup is my kinda guy. Fresh catch of sockeye salmon was perfection. 💯 recommend“

“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.“

“ALL the food was delicious 😋“

“We had a nice meal here. The service was very good and the atmosphere was traditional Italian, which we were looking for. The food was good, but not great. I had the Carbonara. I prefer my pasta al dente; this was a little overcooked. Also, the portion are large. I could only eat about half my meal.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Great sandwich and friendly staff! Will go back“

“Went here after the Seahawks Super Bowl parade, and got championship grade food and service worthy of the occasion! Classic oven fired pizza, good happy hour, good drinks, good caesars and Grace was a delight. Definitely my new favorite spot in the neighborhood. Go Hawks!“

“We will definitely be regulars here.
The food, ambience, and staff were incredible.
I had their seafood pasta with the fish of the day (halibut) and my wife had the filet. Our friends had two other dishes and we were all incredibly impressed! If you have been looking for a great dinner spot, rest assured this will be your destination time and time again.
Thank you Team!“

“This lovely gem in Tukwila is definitely worth visiting. Intimate atmosphere good for family, friends or date. The wine menu and menu variety were phenomenal. The server suggesting some of their favorites was a nice touch. This place is top notch and affordable. Definitely recommend.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“AO. Never thought id say this but.... this airport pizza was absolute fire.
The crust was new york esque.
Truly.
I got the vegetarian because it was the first thing i saw snd i honestly thought it would be bad. I'm pleasantly surprised.
We got garlic bread and a meatball sub and they weren't bad either.
Ive had brilliant new york and jersey pizza and while this isn't exactly that, its a solid stand in. Especially at an airport.
Highly recommend!
A+!“

“Their food is some of the best in Seattle. If you haven’t been there, you need to go and experience 84 Yesler. On par with the finest dining around.“

“In town for one night and hotel was right nearby. Went there on a whim and let me tell you it was absolutely fantastic! The food was outstanding - we all cleaned our plates! The service was attentive but not overbearing and food came out quick, but not too quick. The apps were a perfect start. The meal sizes were perfect as well. I wish I live in Seattle so I could go back there! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“This place has authentic Italian and pizza. We had tortellini with pesto sauce and seafood risotto and both were amazing. Dessert was orange dreamsicle cheesecake and it was melt in your mouth delicious. Pizza was better than any other pizza we've had. It was a little loud with all the people chatting and kind of hard to hear but the place is beautiful with a view of the bay. Can't wait to go back.“

“great place let's try next time“

“Fantastic sandwiches — but be prepared to hunt for parking. We ordered the Grindhouse, a Mortadella, classic Salami, stacked with Dijon mustard, mayo, shredded iceberg, house made dill pickles, provolone, and a bright red wine vinaigrette, all on a perfectly chewy demi baguette. Every bite was balanced and delicious in a cute space. Downside for older guests is the unmanned Kiosk to order. No opportunity to ask about the sandwiches and then after ordering yourself the kiosk asks for a tip! And parking, however, was nearly impossible. We ended up in a garage that cost more than the sandwich itself. Still, the food was excellent — just go when you have patience (or a chauffeur).“

“Amazing food, wonderful service, and truly dog-friendly! La Vita E’ Bella is an absolute gem. The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love.“

“Try the pepperoni rolls!!“

“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.“
