We had an above and beyond experience at Il Nido. They have a parking lot which makes the transition there so much easier. We went a little hard, and got the focaccia, 2 pastas, the ribeye, polenta and olive oil cake. Every single dish was divine! Our waitress recommended the truffle butter with bread, and bone marrow butter on the ribeye. She also recommended having the polenta come out with the ribeye. She was so right! The interior of the restaurant is darling the service was incredible! This is our new favorite spot!

This is one of the best meals I can remember. The presentation was beautiful and the ingredients were all fresh and delicious. There were four of us and everyone had different appetizers and entrées, and they were all spectacular. We also shared four desserts, which were unforgettable. This restaurant deserves high praise for their service, menu Selections and quality of their food. I would highly recommend enjoying a dinner with the amazing Chef Katie Gallegos and her team.

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Seattle so far! I like all the appetizers we ordered, Prosciutto, Burrata and Focaccia.
Mocktail happiness is great! Fazzoletto has rich flavors. Staff is very friendly.
I really enjoyed my time there! Recommend to have a reservation.

The salad and Polenta could be improved, but the creste di gallo and tagliatelle a nido were extremely delicious.

Fazzoletti pasta was the best pasta dish in Seattle. i'l Nido go back and get it again!
Make a reservation in advance because it books out about a month. Absolutely worth the wait.

Starting with the positives, I really enjoyed the prosciutto and fazzoletto. The handkerchief pasta was perfectly cooked and I loved the mushroom ragu. It tasted as good as it looked. However, the other dishes we ordered were very average. The 9 oz steak ($67) was disappointing for the price and didn’t taste very fresh. The desserts we ordered, chocolate torta and olive oil cake, were also rather unmemorable.

Delicious food & great atmosphere. Il Nido is not trying to re-invent the culinary world, but is nailing classic Italian dishes and homemade pasta. The burrata with baby fennel, pistachio & fish oil dressing was amazing! The focaccia was the best I’ve ever had. The pastas, as well, were so good, though the ragu was slightly under-sauced. We got great wine suggestions from our server who was awesome and didn’t rush us during our meal.
I had the most incredible dining experience at Il Nido in West Seattle! Every dish felt like a love letter to Italian tradition with a Pacific Northwest touch. We started with the Caesar salad… simple but bold, with crisp greens and a dressing that struck the perfect balance. The clams were fresh and aromatic, and the fish was delicately prepared, flaky and flavorful. The roasted carrots, with citrus, mint, and pistachios, were unexpectedly vibrant… sweet, herby, and full of depth.
The star of the evening, though, was the handmade pasta with wild mushrooms, a soft egg yolk, and crumbled cheese… it was earthy, rich, and so comforting. I still think about that silky sauce and the way everything just melted together.
For dessert, we tried the gelatos and the tiramisu, and I honestly can’t pick a favorite. Each bite was creamy, decadent, and the perfect way to end the meal. The ambiance was cozy and intimate, and every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. From start to finish, it felt like such a treat. I already can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special night out!
Let me tell you if you've ever been disappointed by Seattle food this is the spot that would not do that to you. I promise. I have been going here for the last couple years since I moved here from LA/OC and it was the first spot that changed my mind on the Seattle food scene. I love almost everything here (I say almost because I haven't tried everything). There's a lot of seasonal dishes so every time you come it can be different which I appreciate, but it also makes me sad when I'm in love with something here and I can't get it again. The service has always been truly one of the best out in Seattle and come for the vibes! The last time I was here we were able to look into the kitchen because it was closing time and meet one of the owners and main chefs, KG, and what an honor to see and meet the folks that make the magic happen!! I love bringing friends here who shame Italian food in Seattle, this spot always changes their mind. I'd say it is pricey but 100% worth it! Best for a date night or some glasses of wine with the gals.

Memorable experience at Il Nido yesterday, perhaps the best meal in Seattle thus far. Bar’s first come first served with enough seating for 12-14 folks. There were plenty of seats from 4-5P (when drinks and antipasto only were available). Our bartender Tiffany was informative and incredibly attentive. Environment was cozy and unpretentious. The prosciutto with balsamic apples and focaccia were standout 1st courses. Burrata was forgettable. Mezcal cocktail “Artsy Bird” was fantastically balanced: bright, perfect for summer. For pastas, the Fazzoletto and Tagliatelle a Nido were both excellent. Shared a ribeye that was well prepared on a delicate bed of greens - the produce was stand out. Basil olive oil cake was unique and a hit, if you like strawberries. All in all, can’t wait to go back.
