50 Best Italian Restaurants near Tukwila

“We went to Grazie for our Anniversary and it was amazing. The service, the atmosphere was intimate and nice. It was definitely date worthy for us as we enjoyed all of it. Our waiter was so helpful and attentive. We have fallen in love with Grazie.“

“Amazing service and delicious food every time I go. Years ago you had a lady named Renee who worked for you as a hostess; without doubt she was THE friendliest, warmest, kindest, most sincere customer service representative in any industry I have ever had the privilege of meeting and being served by.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“Great expresso martini! Try 2!“

“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.“

“From the moment you walk in, this Italian restaurant delivers an exceptional experience that feels both authentic and unforgettable. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, striking the perfect balance between elegant and cozy—perfect for a romantic dinner or a relaxed night out. The food is nothing short of outstanding. I had the salmon special, which was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with each element on the plate complementing the fish without overpowering it. My wife ordered the fettuccine with prawns, and it was just as impressive: perfectly al dente pasta coated in a rich, well-balanced sauce, with generous, succulent prawns that made every bite memorable. We finished with tiramisu for dessert, and it was the perfect ending—light, creamy, and beautifully balanced with rich espresso notes. The service truly set this restaurant apart. From start to finish, the staff was exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Every interaction felt personal and thoughtful, from being warmly greeted at the door to perfectly timed check-ins throughout the meal. The team was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and anticipated our needs without ever being intrusive. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made us feel relaxed and well cared for, elevating the entire dining experience. This restaurant captures everything you hope for in great Italian dining: outstanding food, a welcoming atmosphere, and truly top-tier service. An unforgettable experience and an easy 10/10. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“Went there once and truly loved everything about it.“

“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! 🤩“

“ALL the food was delicious 😋“

“Fantastic experience. Anyone who can take a humble dish like fries and elevate it has my respect, AND tell people y’all ain’t getting ketchup is my kinda guy. Fresh catch of sockeye salmon was perfection. 💯 recommend“

“Drew and his team were great. Tasty food and excellent service! Cozy little spot and nice vibe.“

“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.“

“Some of the best Italian cuisine I've had since visiting Italy. The service was exceptional, the specials were creative, balanced, and very well prepared. I wanted to resist desert, but when presented with a smorgasbord of delights to choose from, it is hard to decline. The tirmasu is a must have. Home made and tastes just like the ones I had in Rome. Will definitely be coming back to Porto Vino.“

“We love Angelo's! Tom and Lisa the owners are awesome and we love Olivia she is a sweetheart. The food is off the charts good. They are truly a gem and we are lucky to have them. Everything I have had here is absolutely amazing but it's hard to get away from the pizza because it is so good! We live in Bonney Lake and we happily make the drive as often as we can. That's how good it is! They put all of the other pizza and pasta houses to shame by a long shot!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great sandwich and friendly staff! Will go back“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Always amazing service and food. Wonderful space and visit as much as we can!“

“This place is a Godsend! After flying all night, I was crazy hangry. The line at Starbucks was like 20 minutes long. For what? An overrated & overpriced over roasted coffee. At Pollino’s I got a delicious pizza & fresh coffee & in about 10 minutes. While waiting for my pizza I went & picked up today’s newspaper. A delicious fresh pizza, a good cup of coffee and the NY Times in about 10 minutes!!!“

“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!“

“Fantastic sandwiches — but be prepared to hunt for parking. We ordered the Grindhouse, a Mortadella, classic Salami, stacked with Dijon mustard, mayo, shredded iceberg, house made dill pickles, provolone, and a bright red wine vinaigrette, all on a perfectly chewy demi baguette. Every bite was balanced and delicious in a cute space. Downside for older guests is the unmanned Kiosk to order. No opportunity to ask about the sandwiches and then after ordering yourself the kiosk asks for a tip! And parking, however, was nearly impossible. We ended up in a garage that cost more than the sandwich itself. Still, the food was excellent — just go when you have patience (or a chauffeur).“

“great place let's try next time“

“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!“

“Try the pepperoni rolls!!“

“In town for one night and hotel was right nearby. Went there on a whim and let me tell you it was absolutely fantastic! The food was outstanding - we all cleaned our plates! The service was attentive but not overbearing and food came out quick, but not too quick. The apps were a perfect start. The meal sizes were perfect as well. I wish I live in Seattle so I could go back there! Highly recommend!“

The portions were great, I’ll definitely be back“

“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“

Focaccia starter with disco sauce was a good recommendation.“

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