Ristorante Machiavelli Reviews
Food is ok. Portion is bit of small. Standard American Italian food
I had no idea this place moved up to Edmonds from capital hill, I used to love going here, and now I can again! Same great food I remember!
Probably one of the most flavorful bolognese sauces I've ever had, and the service was good. Unfortunately the portions were too small to ignore for the price, which should never be a problem at an Italian restaurant. (I ordered a dinner size plate & it felt more like a light lunch plate)
Ristorante Machiavelli is a cozy Italian gem that has been a favorite spot for many years. The bar area offers a warm ambiance with tasty drinks, and the staff are welcoming and attentive, making guests feel at home. The restaurant itself is intimate, with simple, delicious Italian dishes that won’t disappoint. The Caesar salad with white anchovy add-on is a must-try, and the lasagna and spaghetti bolognese are rich and flavorful—probably some of the most flavorful bolognese sauces ever had. The filet steak is described as life-changing, served with a side of veggies. The portions can be small for the price, especially the dinner-sized plates which may feel more like light lunch portions. During busy nights, sitting at the bar is a good option, where bartenders offer excellent drink recommendations, including cocktails like the Limoncello Lemon Drop Martini, perfect for summer. The Edmonds location is spacious and graceful, with classic Italian dishes that remain timeless and wonderful. Despite occasional waits, the experience is worth it, and any choice from the menu is likely to satisfy. The restaurant is ideal for an intimate dining experience with top-notch Italian food and friendly service.
