“This is one of Seattle’s best Italian restaurants. You won’t be disappointed.“

“The servers were all wonderful, very attentive & helpful. If you park in the garage, mention that to the greeter when you arrive. It's a popular place so it gets crowded & a bit loud --that's the only negative from my POV.“

“Great expresso martini! Try 2!“

“Wow! I’m very impressed with Rimini. We made a reservation with a note that we were celebrating our anniversary, and the staff made it feel like such a special night.

We enjoyed the view from the table, the decor, the accordion music, the delicious drinks and food - all of it. I’ll be back for another special occasion or if I’m in the mood for some Italian food in Kirkland :)“

“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 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“

“We are becoming regulars at Assaggio. Our latest dinner was a couple of days before Valentine's Day. I cannot praise the staff enough. Warm, welcoming...truly like family. My Blood Orange Cosmopolitan was served in a vintage cut glass coupe. Extraordinary. We loved the Arancini for starters. So fresh, tender with a light crisp. My husband enjoyed the Penne Vodka and I had the Vincigrasse, a beautiful white lasagna with Italian sausage and Bechamel sauce. The pasta sheets were so fresh and delicate. Absolute perfection. My husband and I shared the Zepolle for dessert. We can't seem to order anything different because it's exquisite. We simply adore Assaggio.“

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

“Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The service was great, prices reasonable, portions were large and food was great! They were very accommodating with dietary restrictions. One of the chefs came out to ask how the meal was as well, made us feel like he really cares!“

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

“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“

“It is by far the best pizzeria we have ever tried in Seattle. My wife is from the south of Italy (born and raised) and pizza is a big deal in our house. Strega is a top quality spot, with great food and an awesome service. We are lucky to live close by! Totally recommend. Siete bravi, ragazzi!“

“Queen Anne's Olympia Pizza is my all time favorite pizza place in Seattle! I've tried many and I always go back here. It's delicious each time . Staff are incredibly generous and sweet !“

“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.“

“Went here after the Seahawks Super Bowl parade, and got championship grade food and service worthy of the occasion! Classic oven fired pizza, good happy hour, good drinks, good caesars and Grace was a delight. Definitely my new favorite spot in the neighborhood. Go Hawks!“

“Great food and the tasting menu was able to accommodate our tastes while still being interesting“

“This was a great impulse decision while spending a couple days in Seattle for a Romantic Getaway that included a concert at El Corazon after (fairly close)... nice seating, mood lighting, great service, -spoiling yourself with cheese, cheesy dishes, and cheesecake! 😂
It would be difficult to be vegan here 😳“

“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!“

“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 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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Authentic Italian food and wonderful owners! The gnocchi - my favorite! They provided an amazing 90th birthday dinner for my dad. It was perfect! Highly recommend - Fulvio and Ciro went out of their way to make it a fantastic evening and special event!“

“We were thrilled with everything about this new restaurant. LOVED the food selections, wine was divine and service impeccable. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Café Juanita delivers one of those rare dining experiences that feels both elevated and deeply comforting at the same time. The atmosphere is amazing—cozy and intimate, yet still refined and a little fancy without ever tipping into pretentiousness. It’s exactly the kind of warm, modern elegance that fits the Pacific Northwest so well.

From the moment you walk in, the staff sets the tone. They’re incredibly welcoming and genuinely enthusiastic about the food, taking the time to explain each dish with care and clarity. It makes the entire meal feel like a guided culinary journey rather than just dinner.

We chose the set menu, and it was exceptional from the very first bite all the way through dessert. Standouts for me included the caviar small bite—yogurt tucked inside a delicate curled crisp that somehow managed to be both subtle and explosive in flavor. The beef carpaccio on a crispy cracker was another highlight, perfectly balanced and beautifully textured. And the seafood medley? Absolutely unforgettable. Every bite felt intentional, layered, and crafted to surprise you.

If I had to call out a downside, it’s the parking. Ugh. It’s definitely not the easiest. Plan to find street parking or use one of the nearby retail lots where you’ll likely need to pay.

Overall, Café Juanita is worth every moment and every bite. A truly special dining experience that lingers long after you leave.“

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

“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.“

“Great pasta and sauces. Just finished tortellini from Met Market and thinking how it’s not as good. Going to stock the fridge this weekend.“

“The food was so amazing n taste so good“

“Amazing service and great menu! 5 star review. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“On New Year’s Eve 2025, I picked up my best friend at the airport and we went straight to The Lioness to begin the celebration before heading to the Space Needle. It was exactly the kind of place you want on a winter night — warm and intimate, and a cozy, quaint atmosphere for sharing. The cavatelli was exquisite, earthy, and so delicious. The marinated olives and burrata were fresh and beautifully made, the braised greens a perfect complement, and the dark chocolate cake with espresso mascarpone cream was a lovely, delectable finish. We felt genuinely taken care of and appreciated. Thank you to Maddy Van Elzen at Sea Creatures and her team for the thoughtful and generous hospitality and personal touches. We highly recommend The Lioness for the best food, service, and atmosphere. 5 stars!“

“I always get my Salad its the best , all the vegetables are fresh. Its the best salad ive come across in my area. ive had it at least 100xs. It's consistently the best! if you want a great authentic Italian dish, this is your spot.“

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.“

“Lovely location in Edmonds. Every time I have eaten here the food has been delicious.“

“Great service by our waitress!“

“Wonderful experience dining here for my birthday. We started with a couple non-alcoholic drinks and a burrito appetizer, both of which were lovely. For the main course, I had Nonna's pappardelle, with handmade pasta, a rich ragu, and a touch of lemon to brighten it all up. It was fantastic, really highlighting each aspect of the dish. And for dessert, I had Nonna's Cake (apparently Nonna knows what she's doing). It was also really lovely, with a ton of flavoral and textural contrast, and not too sweet but very satisfying. Note that the dessert was not complimentary, but the staff did add some candles!

They offer handmade gluten-free pasta for most of their dishes as well, and it's very tasty! Main allergens are listed on the menu.

The service was friendly but was a bit slow for a quiet Monday night.

Overall, delicious food with very few complaints!“

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

“Food was delicious and service was spot on! 🍷 was good too!“

“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.“

“Excellent experience! The food was superb, the service impeccable. An added bonus was the tribute to Burt Bacharach, with many songs played by a violinist. We will definitely return.“

“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.“

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

“Pauly’s is the kitchen in the back corner of Earl’s. It’s a reputable purveyor of fine deep fried drunchies. Our selection was the mini combo of onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and jalapeño poppers with waffle fries. Surprisingly served with four different dipping sauces! Don’t be deterred by the metal dog bowl it is served in. I would recommend pairing it very with a Coors Light and a Mariner’s win.“

“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“
