48 Best Italian Restaurants near Tukwila

“I wish that I could give more stars. I came in tonight from a recommendation to try this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Every interaction that we had from the moment that we walked in was positive, thoughtful and delicious. William was our server and he took wonderful care of us. He was very attentive and knowledgeable.

We got to meet Maria and she was very kind to us as well. Even people who were not our servers took great care of us. Family ran without question. Bonus that the environment is cozy and the people care they. What more can you ask for?

Would definitely recommend and we will definitely return. Thank you for reading.“

“Came here after a very long shift to have dinner with my mother and our server was absolutely wonderful, he was so nice and would check up on us often and then was able to give us our meals in a timely manner, whether it was the chef’s doing or his, our experience was amazing. Enzo was wonderful and I hope to have him as our server next time.“

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

“Been going here since 1994 and it’s my FAVORITE place to dine in Seattle🩷“

“It’s nice to have a joint nearby with some Italian bite options since Italian is not as common here compared to elsewhere. Had the rigatoni with some wine and the other half had a type of spaghetti-puttanesca. I wish the wine was cheaper but it’s a quaint place with a nice atmosphere for a date near the Hill on 12th.“

“Great expresso martini! Try 2!“

“We love the service, food, and atmosphere. We enjoyed two of this evening’s specials, the Lobster Ravioli with prawns and the Ribeye, both were over the top. Fernando and the Head Chef were both off this evening and the staff and food were as great as if they had been there. They all take their part in the restaurant very much to heart and it shows. Thank you for making Renton your first of many locations to come. Cheers!“

“Charmingly tucked away in Pike Place Market's atrium, you might side-eye the lofty pasta prices for counter-style service, just like I did, until... BAM! You just ate the freshest pasta with height of the season specialized ingredients. You know, like they do in Italy, and it's worth every penny. Have you ever had a walnut pesto with sauteed fiddlehead ferns, leeks, and aleppo pepper flakes? I can't say enough good things about how amazing it was and you get to watch the very cool, friendly crew make everything in the open kitchen. I did pass on the $14 wine pour because that's not right for lunch. That would get me a whole carafe in Italy.“

“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! 🤩“

“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 best Italian food in Seattle. The focaccia is probably the best bread I’ve ever had. The heirloom tomato and nectarine marinara is a revelation. I can’t wait to go back.“

“For a fantastic casual date night, look no further! The burrata cheese plate here is a masterpiece; the accompanying tomatoes are subtly pickled, offering a unique and irresistible tangy-sweet counterpoint. And the pistachio cream pasta? Pure indulgence—creamy, rich, and exquisitely balanced. Beyond the incredible food, the service is top-notch, rounding out a truly excellent experience.“

“Quick date with my husband on a Saturday around 6 pm. We didn’t have reservations but were able to grab a table. The Quattro formaggi pizza is one of the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten. The drinks were good, the service was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“ALL the food was delicious 😋“

“Everyone there is super nice and they have great food the cook and the waitresses are super friendly and the regulars that go in are also super friendly and will chat with you definitely recommend going there“

“An excellent place to celebrate! My husband took me here as a surprise for my birthday and it did not disappoint. Matthew was an excellent server-prompt, knowledgeable and polite. The food was fantastic, the drinks phenomenal and they really know how to make birthdays special without being over the top about it. We will be back and requesting Matthew as a server soon! Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“great place let's try next time“

“Try the pepperoni rolls!!“

“Fantastic service for a party of 20 in the banquet room. The food was delicious and the waitress was so flexible and helpful. Even cutTing the birthday cake and returning a forgotten phone & credit card. Thanks for making my birthday perfect.“

“Food was about average. we went here because pricing g and portions seemed reasonable. And it wasn't a tourist trap.... had a local home made feel.... antipasto was average. calamatta olives, prosciutto, and two types of salami with some pita with balsamic. We were disappointed because we initially ordered bruschetta, but they returned to the table and said they were sold out. We ordered a colognes sauce (pork and beef) with pasta that was aldente. we shared that, and a pizza with arugula, tomato, and prosciutto. The pizza crust was done well, but the pizza had little flavor. We sprinkled red pepper flakes to season it, and it worked well. But the overall texture was dry, and I think a sprinkling of a balsamic glaze on this dish would have been perfect. The desert was pistachio gelato. all I can say is that it was very good. They ship.it in from the New York / New Jersey area. The server's timing was perfect, and the owner came and chatted with us. The decor lacks a bit, except for one amazing neon sign, and be aware that the restaurant s8gn is not seen from the street. It is covered up by a tree. It's hard to see. All.in all, though we enjoyed ourselves, would say this didn't rise to the very good level. It was good. It's worth a visit if you want a more homey and less trendy Italian experience.“

“Live jazz music and one of the only spots left that are still serving dinner after 9pm!! Amazing ambiance, delicious food.“

“I have been actively avoiding this restaurant even though a lot of my friends swear by the food. The reason being is that they play LOUD music and I’m not a fan of blaring music while dining. I did try the restaurant yesterday as it was nice a a dry day so we sat outside and I’m glad to say they weren’t playing any music at all. The service was great and the food is good they make their own pasta in house and we got the salad which was perfectly seasoned even though they forgot the shrimp, we also had the antipasti and garlic bread with their o house dipping sauce. And I ended up getting the pasta in brown butter and cheese it was divine. Would I come back sure as long as they aren’t playing loud music I’m in“

“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.“

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

“Some friends invited us to dinner and from the moment we entered the aromas had our mouths water. Tasty pasta dishes and wonderful desserts. I had the lemon cheesecake and if you like lemon you won’t be disappointed. The seasonal pumpkin cheesecake gave the Cheesecake Factory a run for the money!!“

“Very nice atmosphere at this location which is nestled inside of the 'Starbucks Reserve Roastery' building, solid bakery goods are offered here at semi-reasonable prices, and the place has an upper class environment and decor.

Staff can be very busy sometimes as the place is often very crowded with tourists and commutera alike, as this is a Flagship starbucks location with a little bakery/cafe nestled inside.

Prices are semi-reasonable although not the best for consistent visits. Altogether I would say this is a place to stop to treat yourself, but not an everyday place.

Coffee is available through starbucks at the other side of their shared building.

Vegetarian options: They have vegan and vegetarian options, although not a large number of them.

Parking: The location is difficult to find parking at due to proximity to a large amount of other high traffic businesses on the southwestern side of Capitol Hill, but it's rather accessible via public transit and by foot.

Kid-friendliness: I would refrain from taking small children here, and would try not to take anyone who isn't 16+ as the environment is difficult due to how busy it tends to be.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accesibility is solidly available at this location. They have wheelchair accessible doors and transit between upper and lower floors.“

“Cozy and nice dine in.Food is wonderfull.Service too.Thank you!“

“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.“

“Had lunch here today everything was fabulous!! our waitress was on point we loved our service!! If your in Seattle I highly recommend this place 🇮🇹“

“Francesca hostess was very bubbly and friendly. My husband and I went for an anniversary dinner. Had a nice table and our waiter was Joseph. He could have been a little more social. He dropped the menu's but felt like he didn't really want to be there. We ordered a bottle of wine and when he poured it, he leaned the neck of the bottle on the glass, so some kinda dripped down the side of the glass. Maybe he needs a refresher course if he's new on how to properly pour. The food was amazing... everything from start to finish was delicious. I would definitely go back but would probably ask for a different waiter. Even the table next to us had a little problem because they got their entrée and hadn't received the bread appetizer so they had to ask him for it again and they weren't too happy. It would've been nice if he would've said happy anniversary cause I made a reservation on open table and said what we were celebrating. I'm a waitress back home and it's a little things like that that help increase ones tip. Again, he may be new and I'll give the benefit of the doubt the other servers or more friendly. Had a quick after dinner drink at the bar and I forgot the Bartender‘s name, but he was also very nice. Francesca was very nice on the way out.. she's a definite keeper!“

“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“

“Food and service was amazing. Highly recommend“

“I really like the pizza here. The crust is not too thick or to thin and the toppings are good.
Reminds me of a hometown pizza place called Campanas over on the Peninsula my folks used to take us too as kids. Toppings were just enough of everything and good flavor. The house red wine is really smooth, restaurant itself is a old Burien school Italian vibe. I will be getting pizza from here again. One of of my top 3. Prices are pretty decent as well.“

“The service was amazing and the Pizza was super delicious! ❤The Oklahoma travelers“

“If we (4 of us traveling for a conference) could give it 100 stars we would have! From the greeting, ambiance, food and service this restaurant is exquisite! The presentation of the food matched the flavor and can be described no other way than flavorful and devine! The locals may know of this place but we are considering it the best kept secret for travelers!“

“Authentic, fresh, and entirely delicious. The homemade cannelloni pasta noodles and filling were absolute perfection! Fantastic marinara! And the pizza… amazing. So much for leftovers! And I haven’t even mentioned the kindness of all of the staff. Can’t wait to come back to this gem!“

“Wonderful food and wine .“

“Delicious, gracious and you will even learn some Italian!“

“WONDERFUL housemade pasta, whole Branzino. Delicious Barbera. Great desserts, great service, amazing olive oil, which sounds funny, but it was really, really good. I would highly recommend La Medusa.“

“Tulip is such a classic restaurant that we've enjoyed going to for many years. We celebrated our anniversary there this week and had the lamb shank which was delicious. Our waiter William, was awesome-very attentive and gave us good advice about portion sizes. We will be back!“

“Delicious food!! Service was great!!“

“Meatball sub was pretty delicious. I’m a big fan of their baguette. They actually have the marinara sauce on the side which is so smart. As soon as it was in the sandwich it definitely got soggy (but that’s expected)

We came in around 1:30ish on a Saturday and omg, not even 20 mins later - they were “sold out”. There’s not too much seating but we were able to snag some stools.

I thought the overall flavor wasn’t special but I felt satisfied and full. The restaurant runs by ordering via an iPad so they call out your name when it’s ready. A good spot to check out in pioneer! Just be warned they sell out easily.“

“We came all the way from Denver to enjoy dinner here and we were not disappointed! The food, ambiance, staff…all first rate! What a wonderful meal.“

“Absolutely FANTASTIC food and the service is top notch! Our server Veronica was FABULOUS and David the bartender made my daughter the fanciest mock tail! Treat yourself and enjoy the experience!“

“We have gone to this place many times. Great food, the chicken parm is very delicious, served piping hot with the mozzarella all melted on top.

Their pizza is very good too, although to be honest, one time we went they must have had a different person made it because it was meh once.

Minus 1 star because they sent their menu with some coupons. The coupons didn’t state any expiration date, but when we tried to use it today, it wasn’t honored.“

“Really nice early dinner with the Family. service was top notch as was the food. Gustoso.“

“WONDERFUL housemade pasta, whole Branzino. Delicious Barbera. Great desserts, great service, amazing olive oil, which sounds funny, but it was really, really good. I would highly recommend La Medusa.“
