This place has consistently good food. This time, the service was notably excellent. Highly recommended.

I love dining at Roccolto- the food is thoughtfully prepared, and combines flavors I wouldn't have tried together. Their oysters are fresh, clean and topped by a mignonette that never overpowers the brininess. Tge pasta is tender and the portions are shareable. My husband had the black cod, where again, the fish was the star, shining through a tasty broth. We eat there often, and consider it a neighborhood gem. Btw- their cocktails are delicious. Our wonderful waiter was awesome- if you tell them what flavors you like, they'll create something just for you. Mine had cranberry cordial- yum!!

Service, wine menu, and bread were exceptional. The bread serving is large and definitely worth it. The Italian wine selection met our needs and my husband is a sommelier. My personal choice for pasta would be a little less al dente. I love beets, but these were smothered in a very tart dressing, sort of pickled. I would have liked a little less dressing. I will go again, but I will ask if they could honor my personal preferences. By all means go if you've never been.

Table for 1? Yes please... I was enjoying a walkabout in West Seattle and ran across this little gem, that blew my taste buds. The space is airy, intimate, and pleasing to the eye w/ a loft space, and a nicely tucked away bar. Kitchen is open (love that) it was a delight to watch the work and smell all the smells. The feel is welcoming, you would be comfortable coming as you are or dressy. Menu caters to all palates, young and mature. you can tell the team enjoys what they do (front and back of house). Now the food- I came with a desire for the steak tartare and either GF pasta or pork chop, but alas, I must come back as they were already out (good sign) of the steak tartare a and pork. sadly no GF pasta offerings. I chose a crisp, creamy Prosecco, and still water with lemon, followed by THE BEST CEVICHE...presentation beautiful bowl, fresh gorgeous chunks of white fish, red onion or scallions, chives, juicy grapefruit chunks in a light bright green chilled sauce swirled with chile oil (I think) and deliciously crunchy flaky crackers , each bite found me humming and smiling. THE Burger...omyword...simplicity and taste perfected, medium rare flavorful clean beef, thinly sliced dill pickles, arugula, cheese, an in house type of aoli and a grilled (brioche?) bun... good messy, packed with flavor- an no, there were no fries...you would not even want them (and I adore fries) the burger was simply delightful- every single bite. I was so full I took dessert home- a generous serving of fresh grilled fat juicy peaches with in house made creme...I have no words. I loved every moment of each bite, I was not rushed, the team interacted with all the guests and treated us like family. This is they way it should always be. Yes, I will be back with friends, or family in tow, or just myself!

As always, the pasta at Raccolto is fantastic. This visit we decided on the chef's tasting menu, which looked good but sadly limited the table to one (delicious) pasta. The rest of the menu was uneven but overall good. One pork tenderloin was charred to the point that the char overpowered the taste of the meat and the "spiced" jus it was served with. Asparagus with a hot fresh tomato sauce was fine, but a miss in terms of what you could do with either asparagus or fresh tomatoes. Rainier cherry dessert was delicious, other starters were good. We enjoyed our evening because we like the space and the food, but will probably stick to pastas in the future, as these are always really well executed.

First of all we were greeted by our server with an energetic positive genuine friendliness which I appreciated so much. I'm mentioning this bc its so important to me to start our dining experience with positive vibes and she definitely brought that 🙌 It was a moderately busy evening and our server was amazing with giving us time to order our drinks, food, waiting for our last person in our party to join us. She just did a wonderful job giving us time to check in on us that was not too much or not too long and she was not pushy at all. We were given enough time between our starters and main meal so we could enjoy everything. OMG the bread was amazing with 3 different types, the honey butter was to die for and portions were huge but much appreciated. The rockfish ceviche was perfect and floating in a yummy creamy delicious sauce 😍 OMG it was so good that it was a must to soak the bread into it. The pasta was cooked and tasted perfect. The food presentation was on point too 🙌 The restaurant manager I believe, greeted and checked on us throughout which was super nice and thought it was important to note. The cocktails were great and the presentation was 5 stars! I searched for Italian restaurant in West Seattle and happened upon chosing Raccolta and I was extremely happy with the whole experience and would definitely return and highly recommend everything about this establishment. Thank you Raccolta staff ♥️

This dinner was one of many special occasions we have celebrated at Raccolto over the years. Unfortunately, the service at this experience fell short. It seemed our server was overwhelmed and the restaurant understaffed relative to the table service. Again, unusual for Raccolto's standards. Our table's service was spotty at best, and our meal was out of sync, even after additional staff arrived. Our only focus at this point was to get our check and leave. In the end it was a disappointing meal and experience. We will think long and hard about whether or not we will return.

Delicious food as always! Love their seasonal menu, amazing fresh pasta dishes and their salad especially. They also have a special chef's tasting menu. Love the open kitchen concept. Food and service were a 10! I am a true foodie. Having worked in continental and Italian restaurants as a teenager, and being raised by a French mom who cooked, I started cooking young with a subscription to Bon Appetite at 16. I am now 61 and have dined at many restaurants. I feel my standards are high. Raccolto is one 1 of my top 5 restaurants in Seattle. Thank you Raccolto!

I like spicy food, but most dishes were too spicy. Pasta was undercooked. Fish was burned, tasted like a campfire. The amount of protein for a two person meal was surprisingly small. Desert was supposed to be “apple pie”. It was a metro market crust with oil, butter, and caramel soup with some apple pieces. Nothing about it was pie. Wine pairing was mediocre at best. Overall horrible experience and NOT worth the $350 cost for two.

We love Raccolto! The food is wonderful, and the service and ambiance are even better. The vibe is perfect for a low key date night. We always leave feeling great.
Poor service, overcooked food, and grossly overpriced. The appetizers and pastas were decent, but the proteins (pork, hamburger, fish) were charred beyond recognition and dry. Service was lackluster: slow and inattentive, with a mandatory 22% tip added to the bill. At these prices, you expect a sublime experience, but this place was noisy, understaffed, and disappointing.

Great everything.

The atmosphere was incredible, with a beautiful open kitchen that added to the energy of the space. Connor’s knowledge and attentiveness elevated the entire experience.
We ordered the campanelle, halibut ceviche, roasted carrots, gem lettuce, and the bread service.
Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. We’d recommend this place to anyone and will be back in the future.
