Another exceptional dinner at Tulio’s on 12/3/25! I live about an hour south of Seattle but I always come here for my birthday dinner which I’ve been doing at least for the past decade. The gnocchi is amazing and we each had the black cod, the best I’ve ever had. Amazingly, for the past few years we’ve gotten the same server - Chris P. He ensured that our experience was very special, from his recommendations to the candle in my gelato! Thanks Chris!

On a return visit to Tulio after years of not coming here, we found that the team of workers was much less polished and professional than in the past. Some of the awkward small talk and odd remarks about how certain dishes should be eaten or how they were conceived were indicative of the server's lack of experience. The two pasta dishes were decent, but overpriced at $36. Other places charge under $30 or even under $25 for pasta that is at least as good and prepared with a little more finesse. We didn't order the "bread service" for $10, which we considered a rip-off. But it was certainly popular, probably because people didn't see the listing on the menu and answered "yes" to being asked, "Would you like some bread?" A burrata-centered appetizer and an olive cake dessert both suffered from too many unnecessary ingredients being used, confusing the dish and adding flavors and textures that didn't belong. We shared these, but for one person they would have been way too much food together with an entree. When we were done, the table had been cleared, and we were ready to go, we entered the tunnel of invisibility, which is often what happens when the working team isn't quite professional. It took a little effort to get the check. So, all in all, a decent middle-of-the-road dining experience, but certainly no reason to rush back.

Loved the upstairs....attentive service and excellent food. Try the olive oil cake- it doesn't disappoint

We normally hate sitting at the bar, but that was the only option when we showed up on a busy night. We had a wonderful experience, with Devin taking great care of us. The bar is classy but cozy- we’ll be back!

Not friendly with the individual traveler. I arrived at the beginning of dinner service at 5pm. All tables were empty and yet they offered me to sit in the bar, since I was alone and they justified having many reservations that day. I didn't want to pay a restaurant price and sit at the bar. I left without eating

Gladdys was so sweet and quick! The atmosphere is beautiful and cozy. We had breakfast and dinner here and it was amazing. Highly recommend!

I've been eating at Tulios for about 30 years - every time I'm in Seattle. Apparently, the chef retired and so it's definitely different. I was looking forward to their Ravioli, but it wasn't on the menu. I am aware that the menu changes, but they always had a ravioli selection. Our dinner was fine, but didn't quite live up to their previous standards. Lovely wait staff.

We had a fabulous experience in the dining area upstairs! It was more quiet than the main dining room and we were able to relax and chat in a more intimate environment. The food was terrific and our server, Abby, was phenomenal! She took care of every need and cared for us perfectly! Thank you for a lovely evening! I'll be back!!

Our experience was very pleasant and the service was top notch. Felt very well taken care of.

I came in near closing and they didn't make me feel rushed or put off. They welcomed me and served me anything I wanted. I found it delicious. Good recommendations and would absolutely come back.
Had a great experience all the way around. The waiter was extremely personable and extremely helpful. He really listened and helped us get exactly what we were looking for. Everything we ordered was excellent and they worked hard to get us out the door on time to support our other commitments for the evening.

Food was mediocre to bad. Pasta was bland. Lamb was flavorless and gamey.

We stopped in to Tulios off the street and they accommodated us without issue or question which was extremely welcomed. They were able to accommodate my wife's dietary restrictions without any issue (no gluten or dairy) which is not easy in an Italian restaurant. I had the Hay Smoked pork chop which, simply put, was cooked to absolute perfection which is not always easy with a double thick cut pork chop. Make it a point to to to Tulios whenever in Seattle, you will.be very happy you did!
