I love this little neighborhood gem. Always buzzing and great bites. Had “The Last Word” cocktail and was great! Had a reservation for 3

The risotto and tagliatelle dishes last night were outstanding! Of course, the rest of the staff are exceptional as well! It's a neighborhood go-to which I've been going to for over a decade and the quality of the creative Italian food continues to bring me back frequently.

Fantastic. Lovely ambiance, excellent food and drink, good service. We were able to have dinner without a reservation, but I would make one in advance next time.

This is our neighborhood Italian restaurant and we love it! Such a hidden gem in Seattle. They rotate their menu through the seasons and it never disappoints. Highly recommend for some of the best authentic Italian food in the city.

We had the carpaccio, carrots, scallops, and gnocchi. I can say that none of the dishes stood out to me as particularly memorable except in the qualities they lacked. The scallops were over cooked, the carrots undercooked, the sauces under developed, and the originality absent. There are many wonderful places to try, but this is not one.

Do not go to this restaurant. When splitting a check with another couple, we were erroneously charged for the entire bill (the other couple was charged for their half). When we disputed the bill, they now insist we tipped $135 on a $135 bill. While we are good tippers, we are not in the habit of tipping 100%. The restaurant refuses to rectify either their error or someone on their end altering the credit card receipt. The food here is definitely not worth the hassle of being treated in this fashion.

We've been coming to the Wallingford location since we moved here in 2021 and LOVE it each time. The quality of the food is outstanding, service is amazing, ambiance is wonderful. Can say highly enough how much we love Cantinetta.

Always wonderful food and service. Corkage fees are high at $40. Maybe have some more reasonably priced bottles of wine on the wine list?
Food was incredible. Everything we ordered was delicious.
Service was okay. The male server with curly hair was a delight. The others seemed standoffish even when I tried to be friendly. Maybe that's the vibe they want?
But the reason for a low rating is the disgusting tables. The tables they put our bare silverware on. I spilled a little sauce and wiped it with my napkin - it left black streaks on my napkin. I even tried wiping another table after the servers cleaned it - same black dirt left on my napkin. They need to do a more thorough cleaning before they open each night.
If you look around the place, it is like there is soot streaks everywhere, including the air vents, as well as cobwebs. Doesn't help that the first table they sat us at smelled like sewage...
Food was so good, I would still consider eating here (but I'm assuming the kitchen is clean). I'm just hoping this review gets management's attention because it seems like an easy problem to fix.

We always enjoy dining at Cantinetta. We celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary there on Thursday evening. We both had a cup of the cauliflower soup because it was an unusual offering and very tasty. I had the Cannelloni, which was delicious, and my husband had the Bolognese pasta dish, which he enjoyed very much.

Everything was lovely. But... your dessert you named ‘tartufo' is not actually tartufo- so one less star😢

The restaurant is pretty The lighting is lovely The hostess was friendly The service was initially good
The gnocchi arrived luke warm; it felt like I was swallowing little pillows of coal.
The steak ($58) came out medium despite requesting it medium rare. The meat was tough and the steak knife sawed through it like wet carpet.
The worst part was the end. We were abruptly informed our time was up despite having not finished our entree. They offered to move us to the bar. We declined. The server brought the bill. Someone else told us to get up. We said we were paying. The server took the bill. The hostess came over and told us we had to get up NOW emphasis on NOW. More people checked on us in a span of 2 minutes than they did in two hours.
I probably wouldn't go back. Dinner was $180 without dessert and if I felt like being rushed outta a restaurant I'd go somewhere trendy in New York where the attitude is merited by stars

A really great little spot. Quaint atmosphere, good wine, and great food. On the pricier side, but worth it.
