“Celebrated my daughter’s 16 birthday at Amaro. They went the extra mile for her and had a great table saved and even got her a small beautiful bouquet of flowers after I had to delay our time due to some unforeseen events. It was so sweet and thoughtful. The food is always fresh and delicious. Thanks, Amaro! You made it a great night!“

“Our meal at Cinque Terre was amazing. That was seriously some of the best pesto I've ever had. My husband's boar pasta had plenty of meat in the sauce. The pasta was fresh. And they even had some good mocktails - as a non-drinker, I appreciate when a restaurant takes the time to create drinks that make me feel welcomed. The atmosphere was peaceful - not too loud in any way. I would absolutely recommend this place“

“The Queen Anne How to Cook a Wolf is consistent in being excellent. The food is always prepared to perfection. The ingredients are well sourced. The atmosphere is lovely. The staff is incredibly friendly without being intrusive. It's my favorite neighborhood restaurant and one of my top 3 in Seattle.“

“Great expresso martini! Try 2!“

“Great food, fantastic servers and bartenders. Super friendly neighborhood restaurant but also worth a drive if you don’t live close by!“

“For over 20 years we have enjoyed every meal on the menu. They are the only restaurant that I know that make their own pastas, sauces, bread, and desserts. What a difference that makes. Everything is fresh tasting and satisfying. The meatballs are so light and tasty, eat them slowly to enjoy every bite. Not only are their pastas and pizzas delicious so are their appetizers. I love how they roast their eggplant and they serve it in an incredibly rich tomato sauce with Gorgonzola on the side. Their steak is cooked to perfection with an amazing sauce, a grilled pepper, onion, and their incredible handcut shoestring fries that are to die for!! Enjoy“

“La Fontana Siciliana: Belltown's Authentic Sicilian Gem Check my IG lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more pictures and videos of our dining experience. La Fontana Siciliana is a Belltown restaurant offering genuine Sicilian cuisine in a welcoming setting. This Italian eatery is perfect for intimate dinners or larger gatherings, including potential venues for small weddings or family celebrations. We enjoyed a recent meal there and had the pleasure of meeting Rodrigo, the owner who took over two and a half years ago. His passion for Sicilian food is evident in every dish. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a versatile atmosphere. Our meal began with the flavorful melanzane a la parmigiana and a refreshing spinach soup. For our main course, we savored the tortellini cefalu, fettuccine ai funghi, and fettuccine al pesto, all cooked with high-quality ingredient were extremely delicious. The portions were generous, leaving us satisfied but not overly full. To finish, we indulged in the house-made tiramisu and limoncello panna cotta. The tiramisu was a particular standout, beautifully presented in a way that felt almost like a birthday surprise (and they didn’t know mine was just a few days away!). La Fontana Siciliana is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Sicilian food in Seattle. Its inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service make it a Belltown favorite. We will definitely go back! 🤩“

“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“

“Pizza was great! So was the pasta Fagioli. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Very cute restaurant with cozy atmosphere.“

“this place is a hidden gem in edmonds. Delicious authentic food that i grew up with back in ny/ nj area. Highly recommended as it makes me feel like I'm back east Huge portions but well worth the money.“

“Enjoyed the menu’s fresh ingredients, traditional yet innovative twists. Housemade pastas were the stars. Very good wine list and reasonably priced.“

“One of the best meals in recent memory. Perfect service. Food so special that you could swear you were somewhere on the coast of Italy. 20 years ago I used to dine here. It hadn’t changed. What a beautiful evening!“

“Amazing experience! Just wonderful and everything so yummy and I presented perfectly!“

“Went to the cheese room yesterday, had a lovely table by the window with great people watching. The food was excellent! highly recommend the lobster ravioli. Will definitely be back.“

“Discovered by accident walking around Belltown, Seattle. DELICIOUS and creative Itailian. Greeted by owner, nice that privately owned.
Delicious melding of flavors especially in angollotti and Burratta. Fresh ingredients farm to table style. Highly recommend!“

“This Mediterranean restaurant is amazing! I love their paella. I was surprised that they accept credit cards! I love the service and the delicious“

“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 had a lovely time at a table for two, and the food was phenomenal. Their gnocchi was almost melt in your mouth delicious and the sauce was to die for, and the tiramisu we had for dessert was excellent as well. There's a whole second course you choose to add if you want, but we'd never have been able to finish that much food - the serving sizes for the various pastas in the first course are quite generous, and from what I saw of the entrees at other tables, it seems likewise for those as well.“

“The pasta here can be changed into noodles! We ordered 🍅 Bolognese Rigatoni meat sauce is super super super fragrant! The tomato flavor is very strong, and the minced meat is a combination of balls and minced meat. It tastes rich and rich. It is a Bolognese meat sauce that you can never go wrong with. 🦐Spicy shrimp bucatini is very unique! It feels like chopped peppers❤️The shrimps are very big! It’s not particularly spicy, but it’s fresh and fragrant. It’s a dish that is very suitable for Asians😁 🍕I think the most delicious pizza! Pepperoni & Calabrian honey pizza The king of salty and sweet taste🔥The cheese that can be drawn and the right surprise honey are simply a bit ecstatic! After the pepperoni is roasted, it is full of fat, and the crispy and slightly hard texture👍There are whole garlic grains that have been roasted to the texture of potatoes on it! I really beg you to try it!“

“We just enjoyed Cafe Juanita for the first time for my husband’s birthday, and it exceeded expectations. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the restaurant felt cozy and intimate. Our server Georgia knocked it out of the park, she was so enthusiastic about the menu and the staff and it is clear why! We had a great time and can’t wait to come back, we’re still thinking about our favorite bites days later.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Brought my family of ten in, and every dish we ordered was excellent. Even better, though, was the timing, professionalism, and warmth of our server. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had from a service standpoint—especially impressive given the size of our group.“

“Amazing food, wonderful service, and truly dog-friendly! La Vita E’ Bella is an absolute gem. The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love.“

“The food was so amazing n taste so good“

“Absolutely fantastic food. And the service was world Class. Meghan A. is fantastic and made the food adventure outstanding.“

“Great service by our waitress!“

“The food was very tasty and the service was excellent. Selina and the other server accommodated our small party that doubled it sized unexpectedly. Kudos to the team for doing that.
The portions were great, I’ll definitely be back“

“Classic Italian with a lovely well appointed wine list! What a hidden treasure!“

“We absolutely loved our experience at Limoncello Belltown. We will definitely be back! Tip: Don't skip the affogato! Make sure to check out my Instagram @lawyer.traveler.dreamer for more videos of our dinner at Limoncello.“

“My favorite place to eat in Ballard - the food, the staff and the atmosphere are all a delight, every time! They even cater to special dietary requirements and do a vegan pizza with actual vegan cheese (rather than just the bland stuff you’d normally get in most places), and their wholewheat crust is to die for! They also do the best dolma and the best hummus veggie platter. My whole family and I keep coming back, thank you!“

“Always a great place to take friends! We had dinner with a Legend last night Cliff McCrath! My college soccer Coach!“

“We had a wonderful meal last night and our server, Reagan was terrific. I come from many many years of restaurant/italian food experience and was very pleased with the experience at Saltoro.“

“Ate their paneer biryani and it was the worst in the area. I'm surprised because you would think with so many Indian restaurants around, this place should've checked competition before starting it.“

“Food and service were fantastic, the restaurant itself had a nice trendy cozy vibe, perfect date night spot. We brought our teens with us and they both really enjoyed their meals. Highlights were the bruschetta and the spaghetti pomodoro with chicken ricotta meatballs. Definitely recommend if staying in the SLU/Belltown neighborhood“

“The Queen Anne How to Cook a Wolf is consistent in being excellent. The food is always prepared to perfection. The ingredients are well sourced. The atmosphere is lovely. The staff is incredibly friendly without being intrusive. It's my favorite neighborhood restaurant and one of my top 3 in Seattle.“

“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!“

“Mondello’s is a lovely place to dine. We felt completely comfortable. The food was delicious. We left full and happy.“

“My wife and I have come here for the drinks and occasionally truffle pommes frites or some oysters, but this time we tried some of the other menu items for dinner. My wife got the Halibut (Chapter 6) and I got the Mushroom Pasta dish. (Chapter 5)

I asked Casey if he recommended the mushroom dish and he said it was one of his favorites. I'm not a foodie, so I don't get overly excited over food but let me tell you... It was so good that it prompted me to write a review about it. I actually felt an endorphin rush from eating it! My wife loved the halibut, (which I also tried) and I would say getting her to eat fish is usually a challenge unless her fisherman father prepares it!

I would recommend a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, which Casey also pointed me towards some new Rye to try. Fantastic as always!

I had placed an order for oysters but apparently they were forgotten, but I was so enamored with the mushroom dish that I didn't even care. Casey offered them to me on the house as he felt bad, which was a very nice gesture. I wasn't upset at all!

Now we would like to try all the other dishes, because if both meals were that good, how can they miss with anything else?

I didn't take photos of the food because I inhaled it :)

Thanks Casey and the rest of the staff for great service and amazing food/drinks!“

“A warm intimate atmosphere with an open flame pizza oven invites you in. But you will stay, enjoying the staff, the people ,and the beautifully crafted food. Even a basic pepperoni and olive pizza will change your attitude about what a pizza should be forever!“

“Food was very tasty. We were celebrating our anniversary. Got there early since they don't take reservations for small parties, and we were happy to learn they had happy hour pricing even on the weekend. 4 stars instead of 5 just because of the value proposition: a little pricey (even with 20% off for HH). Maybe a bit more than it was worth, but it was lovely for a special dinner!“

“If you’re in Queen Anne and looking for a flavorful Italian restaurant, I highly recommend Domani. Every interaction I've had with the staff has been incredibly pleasant, and the food is simply delicious. Although I've only enjoyed their takeout and delivery, each experience has been consistently positive. Domani is a gem for anyone who truly appreciates Italian cuisine“
