We have been meaning to go here for a long time, but it never made it to the top of our list - what a missed opportunity! The food was great, the service was exceptional, and a well curated and reasonably priced wine list, what more can you ask for. It's fantastic to finally have a great Italian restaurant near home.
Everything was delicious. The waiters were attentive, but not annoyingly so. Would definitely go here again!
We had a very enjoyable dining experience at Sansonina Ristorante Italiano. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the dining atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. One thing we especially appreciated was that the restaurant has its own parking lot, making parking easy and convenient.
The only downside was the price. While the quality of the food was excellent, we felt it was quite expensive for a casual meal. Overall, it's a great restaurant for special occasions or when you're looking for a nice Italian dining experience. We would definitely return, but probably not on a regular basis because of the cost.
I would love to share my experience visiting this Italian restaurant for Sunday dinner. The restaurant was fairly busy but not overcrowded, which created a lively and comfortable atmosphere.
From the moment you walk in, you immediately feel the authentic Italian vibe through the interior, music, and overall ambiance. They also offer an impressive wine list. The menu is compact but very diverse.
We tried three different pastas and the salmon. For appetizers, we ordered bruschetta and calamari — everything was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared.
The desserts deserve a special mention — truly the cherry on top! The tiramisu was honestly the best I’ve ever had in Seattle.
The service was exceptional, comparable to a true fine dining experience. Everything was clean, elegant, and very well organized. Even the cleanliness of the restrooms says a lot about how much this restaurant cares about its guests and overall quality.
I would highly recommend this Sicilian-style Italian restaurant to anyone looking for amazing food, outstanding service, and a wonderful dining experience.

Delicious food, great service, lovely atmosphere!!! My husband and I were visiting Seattle and stopped by this restaurant. It is so unassuming from the outside but beautifully decorated, dimly lit, and an upscale ambiance on the inside. We got the Sansonina salad, halibut, and the spaghetti alla bolognese con salsiccia. The halibut was absolutely divine! It was packed with flavor and a perfect balance of lemon, capers, savory, and a touch of sweetness from the tomatoes and spinach. We would definitely order again!! They also have complimentary freshly toasted bread with marinara and this delicious whipped garlic butter!! It was amazingly light and filled with so much flavor! The staff was respectful and attentive but not pushy and knowledgeable about the food. The desert options looked amazing! We were just too full to enjoy that too. This place is a hidden gem and we definitely will be back!!
