“My husband and I had a small local wedding, and chose to spend our wedding night dinner here at Spinasse and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We did the MenuDegustazione and were absolutely blown away at the amazing taste and presentation of every portion. In addition to the phenomenal food options, our waiter Aidan was an absolute pleasure and made our wedding night dinner absolute perfection. Another thanks to all the wonderful staff and executive chef that cooked each meal to perfection. We will definitely be returning.“

“The food and setting are good, but not exceptional. I’m happy I tried Autumn, but there is a reason no one talks about it. For the price point, I would expect to be wowed a little more. Certainly nothing wrong with our dishes, but in a city with great food, there are other places that offer more nuance. Also, the open concept kitchen could do with some thoughtful design improvements, the bright lights, white wall and open door into the prep area are a bit jarring and take away from what could be a cozy space.“

“Went for a birthday dinner, and the service and atmosphere was probably the best I have seen in Seattle. They made sure we are comfortable, and service was very prompt. This place is really unique with its seating near a fountain, red bricked walls and canopy of trees.Only thing which was not perfect was the food, it was great -- just not perfect as everything else. Personally, I think the food was more on the sweeter side and it can be more flavorful.“

“We absolutely loved our experience here last night! Josie was our server and did a phenomenal job. We did the tasting menu and were thrilled with the generous portions and the pacing. We had our 9 month old baby with us and we were able to keep him entertained the whole time with fresh bread and a filet of salmon.“

“I live in west Seattle where we have a few top quality Italian options. This place is worth driving across town to eat at. The appetizers provide an amazing opening salvo, so don’t skip over them. The entrees are small but top quality. The pasta can’t be beat and finishing with green tea tiramisu is a welcome twist to the old classic. The atmosphere is quaint and quiet. Service is great. This place is on the pricey side but still a good value. I’m looking forward to going back, but reserving this place for special occasions.“

“The food here is absolutely incredible. I’ve been coming for almost a decade and the quality has never changed. The service is incredible, the owners are amazing and charismatic, and the desert port wine selection is fantastic. (Don’t forget the Underberg!) The decor is only a reflection of the flavors in the food and of the stylings of the owners themselves. It’s funny to say but the bathrooms are actually one of my favorite parts of the experience. There is neighborhood parking and a large outdoor patio to enjoy a glass of wine and mingle with strangers as you wait for a table inside as there is only standing room outside which I can imagine is by design as you will see a wide range of folks that go to Bizzarro. The wealthy Wallingford Wilco’s and your regular Seattle weirdos, all coming to enjoy a hidden gem of Seattles culinary scene that has never truly gotten the shine it deserves. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Well deserved and earned.Vegetarian options: Ask your server! Very accommodating service.Dietary restrictions: Ask and you shall receive…Parking: Get good! It’s Seattle! Find your street parking! However you could be smart and call a ride or take public transportation for the opportunity for more wine! ?Kid-friendliness: Kids allowed. Can only accommodate up to party’s of 8! Call ahead to see if there is space.Wheelchair accessibility: It is a tight space but you could manage. I recommend calling ahead of time to allow for proper preparation of a table for a better dining experience. Restrooms may require assistance depending upon the severity of the disability.“

“Delicious. Things I didn’t believe that I liked before (lamb, caviar and cherry). I now have an understanding that prepared right they are delicious. You’re not paying for food here. You are paying for a wonderful experience. If you are tired of the same food then you need to step out of your box and come here. You will not be disappointed.Dietary restrictions: There is options for everyone.Parking: I did the valet. Very kind service.“

“What a great place! Tried the pizza and a pasta dish, which were both delicious. Tiramisu for dessert was also great. We went for dinner on Friday, and it was packed (which is always a good sign). Because of the lack of seating, they sat us at the chef's table, which was neat, because we could watch them cook and the line run. Just a note: the seats at the chefs table were pretty uncomfortable (just a small wooden bar stool with no back). It was worth it to me, to be able to watch the chefs cook, but my partner (who is a large man) was very uncomfortable. Overall, a great experience with great food and service!“

“Great food, tasty drinks, excellent service! Had the caesar salad, peperonata (that sauce was on point!) shared a pizza- great crust and toppings, shared some spaghetti n meatballs…not like what your mama used to make. My old fashioned was perfectly balanced. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Give this place a shot if you haven’t!“

“Charming restaurant with great food and excellent service. A perfect spot after enjoying a play at the Taproot Theater. Engaging menu, beautifully prepared, wonderful flavors and textures. Our Server, Tristan Kossack, was outstanding. He smoothly and deftly handled service for the whole restaurant, making it all look effortless and welcoming. He helped us put together a family style meal and his suggestions were spot on. It was an wonderful experience.“

“What a cute restaurant! My friend and I stumbled onto this place by accident and it ended up being just what we needed. It felt like being invited to a neighbor's house for dinner. The place is small and the service is great. We tried the Canary Island style paella, which is a little different than what I'm accustomed to but still delicious. The fish and seafood was cooked to perfection. And we also had the polenta and chicken. The polenta and vegetables were so good, along with the sauces. The chicken wasn't anything special but when mixed with the 3 sauces on the plate was much better. The servers gifted us a small plate of tiramisu, which was so kind. All in all, it was such a lovely experience in sure we will be back. I'm excited to try other plates. Please keep in mind d this isn't strictly italian/french like the description says. The wall has a Amazigh flag on the wall, so go expecting a diverse Mediterranean menu and a family atmosphere.“

“The food and service were amazing! Truly the best Italian food I have ever had. I had a white sauce dish and gluten free pasta and I didn't experience cross contamination from wheat. That was a huge bonus.The restaraunt atmosphere was good for being in a strip mall. I toyed between a 3 and a 4 because the restroom was really gross. And it has low lighting to try to hide how bad it truly is. And only 1 toilet for the whole restaurant?“

“This restaurant with Italian cuisine has fantastic pizza.The sphere makes it very unique and advisable to reserve table in advance .It’s not the best selection for large group unless you are an Amazon employee as they mentioned to me.Services is very good and friendly .There is parking spot just almost 50 m in the same street.“

“This is honestly the best pasta restaurant. I always get the fettuccine chicken pasta. Comes with a side of huge garlic bread and salad with their homemade feta sauce. The staff is so friendly and sweet. It’s a real mom and pops restaurant. There food has become a comfort food of mine now.“

“I went here with my husband for a late valentine celebration and even though it was not on the night, they brought us complimentary little small glasses of wine to cheers with and begin our night.Our Waitress, Paris was very warm, knowledgeable and helpful for wine selection and food, was just the right amount of attentive to us.The food menu was fun to select from and we absolutely enjoyed every meal although each was very different than others.We shared the Delicata, bone marrow, scallops and Creste de Gallo with a bottle of wine and our final bill was around $270“

“It was amazing!! My first time in Seattle and I visited Nolita, what a nice surprise. Food is amazing, products are fresh and good quality, portions are BIG, taste is great I really felt in Italy, wine is so good! But the attention is the best, everyone was so gentle and kind, I could practice my Italian with the owners and they gave me a rose at the end, was a lovely lovely place.“

“Great experience! All of the food was amazing! The avocado toast was very good. I didn’t see anyone mentioning the avocado toast but it really shouldn’t be overlooked. It’s quite good. Also the appetizer potato things are excellent. The mimosa without alcohol is so nice because I rarely see na cocktails on a brunch menu“

“Today we had a memorial luncheon for our mom at Girardi’s. Such an excellent experience! Fred was so helpful in the planning and the staff was exceptional! Our guests raved about the food and the delightful location. Thank you Fred! Please tell your staff thank you for us. This is an event we will be talking about for some time!!!“

“the vibe inside is really homey. the price point is great. I was able to comfortably order a few things to try. I also think the portions were good. the duck ragu was very good. I enjoyed that plate very much. the sauce pairs with the duck very well. it's fork licking good. the carbonara I didn't care for, I didn't finish it. it didn't taste quite balanced. also my pasta was under cooked. I checked to see if maybe I was given buccatini on accident but no, it was just underdone spaghetti. overall, I'll try it again. my experience I think was good for a first visit“

“Best coffee experience in North Capitol Hill by far! Very unassuming since it's tucked away in the Kaiser building on 15th Ave, but absolutely worth the visit. You can see how the staff takes their time making each shot perfect and I greatly respect that dedication.And if you get the chance, always try Jonathan's newest latte flavors! They do not disappoint.“

“A great spot for happy hour (Monday to Saturday from 3-6:30pm or 9pm-close & All day Sunday).We stopped by on a Sunday for happy hour and were seated at the bar within 15 minutes without a reservation.Sunset Rose ($17)HH Frutti di mare with spaghetti ($17.50) - Came back for this after 2 years and the recipe has changed. Not as flavorful as last time but still good.HH Bucatini al cinghiale ($14) - This was the star of the show. I'd come here just for this. The pieces of boar were so tender and the bucatini was cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend this!“

“My girlfriend and I had just gotten in to Seattle on a Tuesday night. Many restaurants closed by 8pm but we happened upon this gem here in Yelp. Service was great. Got to meet the owner Brandon and he took time to speak with us and share that this is his second restaurant. It's been open for about 6 months and he wanted our feedback on the food and the restaurant as a whole. We ordered the pappadelle and gemelli. Both dishes were immaculate. The pappadelle were perfect thin ribbons. And the flavor of the brisket in the gemelli was so delicious. Would order both again. Ambiance is trendy and great for a date night. Brandon was gracious enough to serve us some gelato on the house as well. Not something I personally would order but was pleasantly surprised with how delicious it was. Brandon also connected me with his friend at the cocktail bar Canon - who took great care of us. Thank you Brandon! Would come back to this restaurant again next time I'm in Seattle.“

“We had a meal here for our first time. It was an absolutely wonderful atmosphere and delicious! We ordered a margarita pizza, veggie pizza, eggplant parm, standard pasta and sauce, and more. All of it was fresh and made to perfection. The kids got some gelato and we packed a tiramisu to go- all of which were delicious as well. I highly recommend!“

“We ate here for lunch. An extra large meat lovers pizza was more than enough for three of us. We each had three pieces and took the last three home. The pizza was good but it’s a little small inside. There are only three tables.Parking: There was parking right in front.“

“My husband and I have enjoyed coming to this restaurant for about 45 years now. I love the cheese raviolis on the senior menu. My husband likes the baked spaghetti They are both a steal for around $12 including their great salad and amazing garlic bread. Occasionally we will have our favorite pizza, number 28. Their wait staff is just the feather in the cap, delightful young folks that seem to love what they're doing.“

“Food - Loved the pizza. The best thing is that it can be customized to meet your needs. We had Margherita and Spicy Salscissa Pizza. Margherita was not quite as good as Salscissa. The level of service was outstanding. SHOUT OUT TO BRADY!!. He was very thorough in outlining the alternatives and customizing the experience for us. We were a party of six, so we were somewhat noisy, but the staff was incredibly accommodating and tolerant. Brady made sure we had enough room by checking in with us a few times and taking the initiative to pick up the empty plates. Will def go back again“

“There aren't enough good things that can be said about Altura.From the moment you enter the restaurant and the hosts greet you with a warm and friendly hello and ask to hang your coats. To sitting down and having a small hot towel brought to clean your hands. A delicious aperitif brought to start your night. Every interaction is polite, attentive and professional.We have gone to Altura for my birthday two years in a row. We will be going again for our anniversary in two months.Both experiences, the food and presentations were beautiful and delicious. Each menu was a different experience with a few staples we loved from our previous visit. Everything is amazing, there wasn't a single item or dish we were even slightly disappointed by. The same can be said for the drinks, wine and dessert.A perfect place for a special night out. They've made my birthday feel really special each time and we're so happy every time we visit. Truly something to experience for yourself.Thank you to all the Altura staff, we can't wait to see you all again soon.- Tina & Kris“

“Delicious Pizza!! They grabbed me with the deep dish style pizza. i started following their Instagram so i could see what was going on. over the last few years i would order a pizza from them when in the area… a few special trips just because. Now just recently I started seeing Tavern Style pizza show up on the instagram. Started with photos from other places and then Windy City pie puts tavern on their menu! i wanted to try it since it became available and finally decided to make it part of my pre game for a saturday Mariners game. if thin crisp crust is not your thing then stick with the deep dish! it continues to amaze! If you like the thin crisp pizza try the tavern. it is not just any pizza it is special. the crust is thin uniform and crisp through out the pizza. the toppings are high quality and the sauce is something out of this world! I ate about half and took the rest home to share with my wife. thought i would be able to share our reheat but it didn’t get past the cold pizza phase… this has to be the very best cold pizza i can remember! So good we didn’t take the time to heat back up we just downed it! Check them out! really great pizza on 2 ends of the pizza spectrum!“

“Disappointing that to get additional drinks after being served our meal always seems to be a challenge. 1 drink prior to meal, 1 maybe when meal is served, but anything further you have to flag down wait staff - often not your assigned wait staff to get their attention. It's almost like there is an unspoken 2 drink maximum. This has happened on more than 1 occasion and not with same wait staff. I find this rather odd. Outside of that, we love the place and the food.“

“Best pizza I’ve had in the US. We actually ate so much it was ridiculous ;) The mushroom and fontina is insanely good. Well, so are the others. And yes, I was invited there and got to learn about pizza, the dough is a wonder. Gave me a whole new guiding light for what it should be like!“

“Really good food. Muffuletta was awesome, it comes with pasta salad which was surprisingly good. They were out of gelato which I was sad about (went on Monday they said it's arriving Wednesday). It's a very quiet area, and quiet inside too. Plenty of street parking. Will definitely be back.“

“Been eating at Avanti’s since I was like 5 years old and I’m 25 now. No matter what you get there it is always amazing, especially the pizza, baked spaghetti, and salad with homemade Italian dressing. One of my favorite restaurants! Keep it up guys.“

“I was only surprised they were not busier. We had a great time and the pizza seemed authentic based on my most recent trip to Italy and tasted delish. Didn’t like what was on the TVs but really who cares when the food, service and company are great! They should make the TVs play something Italian for ambiance… anyway, it was great!“

“I was raised by Sicilian family in Brooklyn New York. I take seriously my Italian gravy. I received a flyer from Palermo so I decided to check it out. I went and ordered a glass of Chianti and asked for a sample of their base marinara sauce. The owner Ivo without hesitation brought the wine and the sample sauce. After a teaspoon of the gravy I approved. It was sweet, fresh spices and well made. Ivo says he adds Chianti and fresh blended spices and herbs in the sauce… no wonder. I said if this is the base for his pastas and pizza I’ll be a regular. Buon gusto! Pio of Loyal Heights, Seattle“

“First time here. Last Monday. This is the closest us mere mortals will ever come to a perfect Neapolitan pizza. I got a margherita. Plus pepperoni. (Don't judge). Antonio got the "Tony". Because that's his namesake. We split some coal-roasted potatoes. The pies were picture perfect and tasted twice as good as they looked. In the words of Gen MacArthur: "I'll be back!"“

“Such a great small spot! Seating is indoors and outside, so it doesn't at all feel crowded. The menu has a lot of fun pizza options and a large wine variety as well.Dietary restrictions: A great gluten-free crust!Parking: It's by a park and a small neighborhood, so parking is a little tight.“

“The food was spectacular but the conversation was even better. Leo took such good care of us telling us about the pizza, their ingredients, his thought process on how to make a great pizza and even giving us a different pizza to try. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in town.“

“We were pleasantly surprised at the service, food, and atmosphere at Kebella's. The Caesar salad was very fresh! The pizza we ate was delicious! But honestly, our favorite thing about coming was the service staff. Our waitress was so nice and had a very positive presence. We will definitely be back!!!Parking: We came mid week, so the parking was plentiful. My guess is the weekends will be a bit more crowded.Kid-friendliness: They have coloring pages and high chairs available. They also have kid friend dishes.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly.“

“The woodfire pizza is amazing! They have a bar and lots of seating, indoor and outdoor! Cornuto is one of my very favorite restaurants!Kid-friendliness: There is a pizza that is a lot like a cheese pizza and a peparonni pizza (the peparonni is a little bit spicy) but I would definitely recommend this place to families.“

“visited the Eve of April 2, 2021: Our server was delightful she was warm and offered suggestive drink psirings that were spot on for what we were looking for to compliment our food. The food was absolutely delicious, and the environment very inviting. The whole evening was a lovely experience. I will definitely be back.“

“We'd been wanting to try Sorelli's for a while, and finally stopped in today. The lunch special was a great deal, and we even went home with leftovers. The food was delicious, fresh, and high quality. The environment was classic; I felt a wave of nostalgia as soon as I walked through the door.The service, however, is what sets Sorelli's apart. It is clear that this is a labor of love, and it shows in every interaction.We will be back again!“

“These are the best cannolis I’ve had on the west coast!! The crust is fantastic. I grew up on cannolis and, while a bit different, these seriously scratched my perpetual itch for ricotta dessert cream.I only got the classic cream ones. I wish the cream was a bit more ricotta heavy! Maybe one day yall could do a “Sicilian” special?! A girl can dream!Current pick up option is funky, as noted, but also kind of fun!!! Felt like I was at a Japanese vending machine sort of.“

“Can I live here?! Everything about this place screams fabulousness! From the delish food and sparkly foo-foo drinks, to the magical decor, to the attentive and festive team of servers and behind the scenes help. My daughter and I were so incredibly spoiled and we had such a wonderful experience. Brandon was absolutely amazing and loved his style and flair as well! A thousand thank-you’s!“

“I went midweek at 2Pm. I was the only person there, service was prompt and friendly. The music and atmosphere was chill but great. I ordered the Prosciutto sandwich. The sandwich was so good, one of the best I have had in a while. If you are in the area, it is definitely a place worth going.Parking: This is a residential area so parking could be rough during a busy time.“

“I was lucky to be invited to Messina’s grand opening. The food, drinks, service, and ambiance was amazing. I look forward to going back soon and love that you can watch a game in the dining room or bar and enjoy terrific food. I was very impressed at how the Messina excelled in their food quality and service during a very busy evening.“

“Every dish we had was impeccable! My favorite was the Uni Spaghetti with Salmon roe. My husband’s favorite was the Lamb with Salsa Verde, but honestly you can’t go wrong. Alanna’s service was perfect, she had the best wine pairings and suggestions. Can’t wait to come again!“

“the vibe inside is really homey. the price point is great. I was able to comfortably order a few things to try. I also think the portions were good. the duck ragu was very good. I enjoyed that plate very much. the sauce pairs with the duck very well. it's fork licking good. the carbonara I didn't care for, I didn't finish it. it didn't taste quite balanced. also my pasta was under cooked. I checked to see if maybe I was given buccatini on accident but no, it was just underdone spaghetti. overall, I'll try it again. my experience I think was good for a first visit“

“Our party was a group of 12 on the patio. Several of us were commenting about how many years it had been and how astonished we were that we allowed so much time to go by before returning to Serafina. The service was a wonderful collaborative effort including my reservation contact from the previous day, Nicole. This was not a contracted group reservation but more or less normal with just a slightly paired down menu which was perfect. Everything was absolutely delicious.“

“This place was amazing! Came here on a Friday with my parents - we wanted to dine in after our mini road trip that ended late so I stumbled upon this place after seeing great reviews. We loved that they still served us even though we didn't reserve a table beforehand. My parents loved it just as much! I'll definitely come back and tell people about this place. The pastas were high quality and the entire space has a fancy vibe!“
