The atmosphere is great and the staff is super nice. Unfortunately the food was no good. The meatballs and spaghetti were worse than chef boyardee. The clam linguini was mid. The food is over priced. The bread was fine and the drinks were good.If you come here come for the atmosphere and drinks, not the food. Maybe desert, but we didn’t try it.

The lasagna was mealy with what felt like Krogers brand ricotta cheese, it was also not reheated appropriately. The marinara sauce was too sweet for my taste. My dinning partner was unhappy with their dish, the homemade pasta was not served correctly and the pasta stuck to one another, as if it was left to sit with no oil after being boiled. The tiramisu was drowned in bottled chocolate sauce, with a lack of traditional flavors (i.e espresso). The prices did not match the quality of food.

The food here is absolutely incredible. I’ve been coming for almost a decade and the quality has never changed. The service is incredible, the owners are amazing and charismatic, and the desert port wine selection is fantastic. (Don’t forget the Underberg!) The decor is only a reflection of the flavors in the food and of the stylings of the owners themselves. It’s funny to say but the bathrooms are actually one of my favorite parts of the experience. There is neighborhood parking and a large outdoor patio to enjoy a glass of wine and mingle with strangers as you wait for a table inside as there is only standing room outside which I can imagine is by design as you will see a wide range of folks that go to Bizzarro. The wealthy Wallingford Wilco’s and your regular Seattle weirdos, all coming to enjoy a hidden gem of Seattles culinary scene that has never truly gotten the shine it deserves. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Well deserved and earned.Vegetarian options: Ask your server! Very accommodating service.Dietary restrictions: Ask and you shall receive…Parking: Get good! It’s Seattle! Find your street parking! However you could be smart and call a ride or take public transportation for the opportunity for more wine! ?Kid-friendliness: Kids allowed. Can only accommodate up to party’s of 8! Call ahead to see if there is space.Wheelchair accessibility: It is a tight space but you could manage. I recommend calling ahead of time to allow for proper preparation of a table for a better dining experience. Restrooms may require assistance depending upon the severity of the disability.

Amazing food. Highly recommend the Chili Crisp Alfredo (which is spiced but not SPICY, and SURPRISINGLY deep with it's flavor) and the Margarita (which has a DYNAMIC red sauce and some MARVELOUS cheese melted on top.)The portions are quite large. Me and my buddy swung by for dinner after a hard workout, and we each got one entree and a thing of the house focaccia, and BARELY finished it was so filling. And for how much food you get, the prices are extremely reasonable. Cheaper than anything else of this quality, at least in Seattle.Didn't know what to expect but I'm definitely coming back.Vegetarian options: Seems like most the menu can be adapted to be vegetarian. There are a good number of items that come vegetarian default. The servers are helpful with this if you're confused.
Bizzaros is one of my favorite romantic date night spots not just in Wallingford, but in Seattle! Would reccomend anything and everything

Great place to have dinner! Everything was great. We had a meatball appetizer, my wife had the linguine in clam sauce, I had the fire crisp Alfredo. My was just the right amount of spicy, but I have a high tolerance. Highly recommended. Great price for food.

got the Quattro Formaggi Ravioli & Banana Cheesecakeit started off with some bread as a starter - which I didn't really like that muchOk, for the ravioliI thought the surrounding sauce was pretty fantasticLike the description says, it combined, tomato, garlic, and cheese, to create a really good flavor profile that eachravioli piece was able to sit in and soak upIt was good enough that after finishing the ravioli I was just eating the sauce and I found this highly enjoyableThe spinach was also pretty goodThe part that disappointed me was the ravioli itselfFirstly, the outside was a bit too soft and broke apart too easily - I prefer mine to be slightly more firmSecondly, while the inside had cheese, I didn't like the taste of the cheese that muchI expected each bite to be filled with cheese that delivered great flavor - and while the cheese was there,I didn't think it was a) as stuffed as it could be and b) as flavorful as I expectedI've had significantly better cheese raviolis at other Italian restaurants before - where they don't skimp on the cheeseand taking a bite of a ravioli means getting a full cheese experienceThe best part of this meal was probably the chicken I added - this was soft, cooked well, and when coated with the saucetasted quite excellent. This just reinforces my feeling that if the ravioli itself was better this really could've been a very good dishWithout the chicken I would've had a pretty negative feeling towards this mealThe ravioli + chicken came out to nearly 30 dollars, and while the portion size was pretty good, maybe slightly more would've been better,or at least more cheese in the ravioli. Thankfully there was a good amount of chickenFor dessert I got the banana cheesecakeThis was certainly interesting - I'm not a big fan of banana typically, but I decided to try it hereStarting off, the bottom and top crusts were really goodI found that these really complemented the inner cheesecake filling very well and provided a solid base/top that had great flavorAs for the inner cheesecake filling itself, I'm intriguedIt wasn't as dense as I expected - rather it was filled with mostly cream rather than the traditional cream-cheese based cake mixture - which downgraded it a bitThis meant that unlike traditional cheesecake, this was really easy to eat and plow through very quickly - as the base of the cake was really soft with some light crumbsmixed in thereIt had a pretty strong banana flavor - which I don't know if I loved but I respect for making the decision to have that strong of a flavor in there. There were even banana piecesmixed into the fillingLastly, the vanilla wafers on top and whipped cream combined to make a topping incredibly good - the way the circular wafers mixed in created an astoundingly good combinationOverall, this was a pretty satisfying yet expensive meal with a lot of surrounding success but disappointment in the main ingredient. Found the cheesecake to be not top-tier but still pretty goodRavioli: 7.5/10Cheescake: 8/10Overall: 7.75/10
