We've been here twice now and have been very pleased both times. The pastas are all homemade and are SO yummy. The portions are generous. We tried the green salad and the burrata starters and those were both excellent, too! Nice atmosphere, kind servers. Overall, we recommend.Parking: If you can't find a spot in front of the restaurant there is more street parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: They don't have high chairs available.
We were able to get seating at the bar, which is very limited, to dine in for their happy hour. They have appetizers and 2 pasta entrees on their happy hour. These are great deals and ways to try some of their items for a discounted rate. Their food was great but I wasn't blown away. The portions are great and I think the noodles/pasta itself was cooked perfectly!

My husband and I are the parents of two young children with special needs. Needless to say, we don't get out much, but last night we paid (dearly) for a babysitter, drove all the way from Marysville, and went out on a long overdue date night. My husband chose Raccolto to surprise me with because the menu has so many of my favorite things. It did not disappoint! A blonde woman greeted us at the podium. She looked straight down her nose at my husband and me. I don't think she smiled even once. But that was the only sour note of the evening. Once the General Manager, Hunter, started taking care of us, we were treated like royalty. The oyster starter was perfection, the champagne mignonette the perfect accoutrement. Next was the pasta course. I ordered the bolognese, my husband ordered the braised rabbit dish. Hunter explained that they were out of the Strozzapretti pasta that bolognese is usually served with but that it could be paired with another pasta shape of my choosing. I asked for and took Hunter's recommendation which I believe was cavatappi, though it wasn't on the menu. Both dishes were delicious and very generously portioned, but we agreed that the bolognese was the winning dish between the two. It was rich and delicious, meaty but not overpowered by sometimes strong taste of lamb. I devoured it. I only wish we'd had some table bread to mop up the delectable sauce. Halfway through our pasta dishes, to my carb-loving heart's delight, we were offered a complimentary dish of the cacio e pepe! What a treat! And the generosity didn't end there--Hunter was incredibly generous with the complimentary pours of wine that he said would need to be thrown out at the end of the night if the bottles weren't finished. We were feeling indulgent so we also ordered main courses as well. I ordered the scallops and hubby got the osso buco . By this point I was so stuffed from all the pasta that I didn't mind in the least when Hunter regretfully informed me that they had run out of scallops. But to make up for the inconvenience, we were given another order of the oysters and the tuna crudo on the house. Did I mention how wonderful the oysters are? The tuna was wonderful too. It was the perfect light finish to an incredibly rich and satisfying meal. My husband's osso buco arrived and it was a revelation. We've had (and made) the variations of the dish made with traditional lamb and even beef shank many times. Pork shank was a first. And the SAUCE!!! I wanted to lick the plate clean. In short, this was the most perfect meal we've had in a decade, since before the children came along and we had the disposable income to enjoy fine dining at Michelin-rated restaurants rather than Red Robin or Applebees. Thank you Raccolto and especially Hunter for reminding us that what a sublime dining experience could be.

Gino's remarkable expertise and passion for food shone brightly during our recent dining experience. Despite the restaurant facing a staffing shortage, Gino stepped up admirably, seamlessly managing multiple roles—from bartending to table service and even bussing tables. His proactive approach in recommending alternative menu options when items ran out showcased his deep understanding of the cuisine. Despite a delay in our food arrival. My boyfriend and I had tickets downtown and our food did not come out in time but Gino saved our food ticket and ensured us if we came back he could serve us. Gino's exceptional service saved the day, ensuring we could enjoy our meal after our date night downtown. It's clear that Gino's dedication and talent not only enhanced our dining experience but also played a pivotal role in sustaining the restaurant's success. We eagerly anticipate our next visit to relish both the delightful cuisine and Gino's unparalleled service once again.

Food took forever to come out. We had two appetizers completely finished before we got our two glasses of wine. Our server said he made our food order? Pasta was falling apart. Great two year wedding anniversary dinner ?? our server however absolutely crushed it.

Took my date here for our second date had the chefs choice. was a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, and the candle lit table was perfect for the occasion. staff was very friendly, and each dish and drink was prepared to perfection. Would recommend to anyone who doesn't mind spending a little extra money on a class meal and great atmosphere.
Ate here on a Saturday night. The service was amazing! The waiter explained every dish and specials. Food was fresh and pasta was definitely homemade.

We were celebrating birthdays with the tasting menu. The food was amazing! Highly recommend. However, for how much money we spent the service should have been spot on. We had long waits and I had to ask for my next wine pairing each time. They seemed unprepared for the volume of diners that came in that evening. However, we are assuming it was a one-off and we will be back.

The tasting menu is the way to go! We got special items that weren't on the menu. Everything was fantastic. Favorites: seafood crostini, sturgeon with risotto, and the pastas. Highly recommend!

It was a great spot to celebrate my wifes birthday. Our server did a great job communicating about the timing of the food, checking in to make sure we were happy and helped us learn about the specials. A great little spot in West Seattle.
