Fantastic find in West Seattle, perfect for couples seeking a version of Ocho in Ballard on this side of the bridge. Warm, cozy, perfect spot for a seat at the bar for delicious cocktails and small plates. Excellent bartender and service, will be back in a heartbeat. Don't miss ordering the beets dish!

Food was great. Adding a takeout option online be nice, no one answers when calling.

Good Tapas place. Lots of vegetarian options. The croquettes were especially delish. It's not the best tapas I've had, but it was good enough that I'd come back. The seating is very crowded, however, and not very comfortable.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Seattle, and a great place for a date night or night out with friends. The good is always flavorful, authentic, and absolutely delicious, and the cocktails are super creative. A true neighborhood gem.

I have never had a meal as wonderfully tasty as the chicken Bastille. I will be heading back here to try everything else on the menu because my God that's life-changing.

So, the food was great. But they charged us a large party fee despite there not being any signs anywhere that we saw indicating this would happen for having 5 people. It’s also not on the menu (which is a QR code and I’ve taken screen shots/record to show. And we weren’t given the option to remove it.

If they won’t refund me, I’ll have to submit a chargeback. I also suggest people do the same if they also get charged a large party fee.

It was also like 80 degrees inside and very uncomfortable. It was also so loud it was difficult to have a conversation.

One of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a while! Was blown away be tapas we ordered and the wine was on point. Highly recommend the chicken pastry, perfect mix of sweet and savory, and the cheesecake for dessert:)

The best tapas place I’ve been to in Seattle and one of my favorite restaurants full stop. The stuffed dates, paella, squid steak, and beef tenderloin are my favorites, but I’ve tried almost the entire menu and everything is great. Highly recommend pairing the food with their in-house sangria.

Parking: It's in a neighborhood on a busy street. Parking is at a premium on that street in that neighborhood.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible.

Really great spot for an anniversary date night. We enjoyed all of the food, mocktails, and atmosphere. Pricing was better than we expected and we will definitely be back

My partner and I were traveling to Seattle for 5 days and we always pick one place to eat at as our "Fancy Night Out" dinner. After probably a half dozen hours, spent late at night, of searching every corner of Seattle and it's neighbouring neighborhoods in Google Maps we found this place, Itto's Tapas. We were both absolutely amazed by the food here.

Everything was awesome. I highly recommend the Paella and my partner would recommend the Scallops. They have a wide variety of mocktails for us sober folks. They were delicious. This place gets busy, so be sure to grab the attention of the employees to order more Paella and Scallops.

Also the bathroom is pretty cool.
Thanks y'all!

The first time we visited was when we were looking for a place to live and my partner and I were both crying in frustration at not liking the places we toured in the neighborhood we liked. Over this meal we pulled it together over an amazing meal and found our new home directly after that. It’s not surprising that our new home happened to be in this neighborhood. That’s how good our experience was. We wanted to visit the neighborhood and Itto’s again.
Since then we have visited more and it hits every single time. The drinks are complex without being sugary and the food is just always the most amazing mix of fatty, smoky, spicy, rich, tart… I love it. I haven’t had anything bad there (although I think a lamb burger is served on an English muffin? If that’s true, I didn’t love that choice, but to each their own as I don’t know what the right choice would be, I just dislike English muffins personally).
It is a wonderful neighborhood establishment that I am so happy was good enough to make ME part of the neighborhood.

Dietary restrictions: I have a nut allergy (except weirdly almonds) and a fin fish allergy (like the flip side of shell fish, I can’t eat things like salmon or tuna). I have been able to tell the waiter and the kitchen has either accommodated or given clear information on the risks I would take by ordering or told me to absolutely not order that. The thing about a deadly allergy is sometimes you don’t get accommodated and that is ok. I can’t eat the paella because their stock uses fin fish even though the protein is all shell fish and that’s ok. I am so glad their kitchen is actually cooking the food and knows what they are doing and it keeps me safe. Even the bar was able to keep me safe by knowing what their infused syrups actually had in them. I almost couldnt have a drink because they replaced a common syrup with a house made macadamia syrup. The menu disclosed the substitution and I was able to ask for the original syrup that I am not allergic to.

Great job on the allergy front from front of the house and back of the house.
