50 Best Italian Restaurants near Woodinville

“Very Italian in the atmosphere. This may be the best thing about the place. The food was very reminiscent of what I had living in Napoles. Not outstanding but quite good.“

“We celebrated Christmas Eve here with a party of 14, including both kids and adults, and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. There was truly something for everyone, and every dish was absolutely delicious. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners, who were incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the evening feel even more special. Service was excellent, we were seated promptly, and the food came out quickly despite our large group. This has officially become a family favorite, and we’ll definitely be coming back often.“

“We hosted our one-year-old’s birthday party at Ballard Pizza Company, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We’ve also attended several of their pizza-making classes for our four-year-old, and they’ve been consistently fantastic every time.

The team is incredibly accommodating and thoughtful, especially when it comes to kids and families. They made everything feel easy and low-stress, which is exactly what you want when hosting a party. We also really appreciated how inclusive they were with food options — having vegan cheese available made a big difference for our family.

And on top of all that, the pizza itself is genuinely great; fresh, well-made, and enjoyed by both kids and adults alike. It’s clear they genuinely care about their guests and take pride in creating a welcoming, family-friendly environment.

Highly recommend for kids’ events, classes, or just a great pizza experience in general.“

“We went to Amaro Bistro during Seattle Restaurant Week. My burrata antipasto was very tasty. The braised pork shank was tender and excellent. The panna cotta dessert was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food and the Cuvee B Red Blend was also great!“

“Food is always amazing and the owners are there and so gracious. Can be quite loud and seems like every table is celebrating a birthday, so by the 3rd or 4th singing of happy bday it gets slightly annoying. Other than that it's terrific“

“it’s like being served a fantastic home cooked meal by a professional chef on their day off. Incredible service, and unlike most restaurants in Seattle you leave FULL and satisfied. You can smell your food being made, and the restaurant is incredibly cozy with the kitchen able to be seen from your table. Wonderful experience and the food was amazing! Definitely worth every penny and reasonable prices too! They even gave us our gelato on the house!“

“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“

“My girls took me to Cafe Veloce for my birthday and it was amazing! Service was great and the food was superb. I had the Dungeons pasta, yummy!!! It was my first time dinning at Cafe Veloce and will not be my last. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“I don’t usually eat Italian out because I feel I do a good job at home. This place is way better than I can do. The menu/ordering process is a little challenging to figure out but worth the challenge. We’ve been twice and both times excellent. The salads are great, house made mozzarella with these sweet tomatoes and a balsamic reduction - so good! Tonight I had the gluten free pasta with mushrooms and white truffle oil, fried tofu, homemade sausage and ghost pepper oil. It was so freaking good! The atmosphere is fun as well, open, vibrant colors and Italian pop music. Welcome addition to Totem Lake.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food and staff!!!!“

“Wonderful Italian restaurant. a Kirkland neighborhood treasure.“

“Delicious food and great service! Best Italian food I’ve had in ages! Highly recommend this place!“

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

“Excellent food and service. A hidden gem“

“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.“

“What’s not to love? Andiamo has an inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and incredible service! The experience isn’t just one thing, it’s all the things delectably wrapped up in one beautiful meal served by welcoming people. You can tell love and hard work has been poured into this business as it’s reflected in everything that you get back.“

“Sadly this restaurant that I previously considered family oriented and reasonably priced is no longer so. My last visit noticed alarming high prices for some of the offerings. Ordered my usual spaghetti with marinati sauce, now advertised as being "spicy" as preactically non eatable. Much too much pepper added for my taste. Verbally complained but was barely listened to.“

“Been to many Italian restaurants being Italian living in Australia and to being at Ristorante Paradiso in Kirkland Washington Seattle was the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. Service was outstanding and had the best white wine I have ever had in my life a memorable experience“

“We've wanted to try this restaurant for some time. Last night we were in town, so we had our chance. There were no kids, and the atmosphere was quiet, which made for a nice date. The menu offered both traditional and unique selections. There was also a dedicated gluten-free menu with a substantial list of choices. We tried a couple of reds by the glass and were happy with their recommendations. If this all sounds like the experience you want, definitely give Sages a try.“

“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.“

“I was staying in the Wedgewood area for a few days. I stopped in to get a gluten free pizza. (I have celiac.) They were wonderful to me. They prepared and cooked my pizza separately from the rest. I don't remember the special I had but it was delicious. I ate the leftovers for lunch the next day. I didn't have any issues with my celiac.
Thanks so much for a great pizza!“

“This was our second time and we will keep coming back. The food is very tasty and the portions is more than enough. Chris helped me out alot tonight. He was on his break and was willing to get up and help me when I had a question and didn't mind. Was always busy and looked like a hard worker. Big shout out to chria.“

“When we walked up, we were greeted by the owner, Salvatore, without realizing it was him. We chatted over the course of our meal, and he made our whole party laugh. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and carried a sense of humor as well. GREAT food and service. I am excited to return.“

“Great place for date night.“

“They have the best & freshest Italian food around! You will not be disappointed! Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“This is more like a fancy bar with food, they have a huge list of liquor to choose from. We came here for dinner and the food was very good. It's a little bit on the pricier side but priced well for the quality.

We had a number of appetizers including salads, truffle fries, oysters, and steamed clams. The salads were excellent, the truffle fries were good, and the seafood was very good and fresh.

I ordered the black cod for my entree and it was cooked just right (not overcooked), with excellent flavor. Although the food was not Michelin star quality, it's a good solid four stars for food quality, and surprisingly good for this type of venue.

The service was great, the waitress was very friendly and came around often enough so that we never had to go looking for her. We had a people for dinner and they put us in a back room where it was private and quiet, very nice.

This is a great venue for a business dinner, but probably not the best for young kids given the liquor theme.“

“I recommend the Old Spaghetti Factory! The spumoni is the best anywhere! What I wish is that you put the Angel Hair [Capellini] Pomodoro back on the menu as it has always been my favorite on the menu. I can always make it at home but it wouldnt be as great! They did not even have angel hair available for me to somehow piece meal it together off the menu! Outrageous! Please bring it back! Easy to make and economical. Thank you 😋“

“Great restaurant for the whole family! We visited on a weekday and there was plenty of seating available inside, which made it easy to get a table right away. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was attentive, and the food came out quickly. A nice spot to enjoy a relaxed meal together.“

“Crossroads Italiano is the go-to spot for anyone craving Italian comfort food! The menu is filled with all your favorites, prepared with authentic flair and served with a side of warmth and hospitality. The staff here are fantastic—always smiling, welcoming, and ready to recommend the perfect dish to satisfy your taste buds. Don't forget to follow them on Instagram for updates on their mouth-watering specials and more. If you're looking for a delightful Italian dining experience, look no further than Crossroads Italiano!“

“Amazing food, wonderful service and a lovely atmosphere! Nice place for romantic dinner or bring a group. I'll be back!“

“The restaurant's neighborhood atmosphere is reminiscent of a classic sitcom setting. The kitchen staff, primarily young employees, demonstrates strong teamwork and communication. Our order was accurately fulfilled; however, condiments should be proactively offered, and perhaps bread could be sliced thinner. I do feel it's a bit pricey for what the menu offers. The salad was completely bruised, there was barely any dressing on it, but it was a fifteen-dollar salad without any meat or cheese. They should probably put some time into developing an actual appetizer menu because the $15 salad was not justified. Beverage refills would also enhance the dining experience, so a few misses on standard serving practices. The food was alright, particularly the tiramisu was the best part of the dinner, it was among the best I've encountered in the PNW. We plan to return.“

“Went back to Redmond for a work trip and made sure to stop by, and it tasted just as good as before we left in 2018. Thank you Aaron for a great night. Hope we see Zaucer Pizza in the Dallas Metroplex soon.“

“I went to this same restaurant a few months ago and gave them a poor rating based on a meal I ordered.
Last night's visit was very positive. I very much enjoyed the meal I ordered. Very delicious.
Parking is a pain. While there is allot of parking, they have disabled parking (not very many), too, the entire lot is behind the building and you have to walk half way around.
For those with ambulatory issues, best to drop them off alongside the restaurant.
While parking isn't the most ideal, their food is worth it.“

“Every meal I've ever had there was good. And the service was spot on.“

“Been here twice now and it is amazing! Had the pizza last time I was here. Tonight I had the Italian Meatball Sandwich. It was huge and very filling! Not dry like most places. Had semi spicy meatballs, provelone and marinara sauce on a toasted roll. Yum!! Will be back for sure!“

“Hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life and it all begins with the dough. #lightsout“

“wonderful experience from the moment we walked in until we left! our server, Morgan, was knowledgeable and had great recommendations!

Food was phenomenal! the pappardelle, beet salad, and tiramisu were all perfect!! Lovely, well balanced cocktails and attentive service.. overall knocked it out of the park :)“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere!“

“Great service. Very unique menu.“

“I recommend the Pizza and the Staff. The amazing FREE customer service is fabulous. They really care.“

“Baked pink sauce spaghetti is fabulous! The best I have ever had😊😊😊“

“Food is lovely, good wine selection, prices not outrageous and service was good enough. My only complaint, and it's a serious one, is that the airconditioning blowers in our seating area were very strong and aimed directly at my plate. I'm not exaggerating when I say my food was cold in less than 30 seconds. Staff said they get that complaint frequently for that seating area but they are unable to turn them off or down. I asked for a manager, but he was unavailable for the evening.“

“Still the same great Steve's it's always been!
Steve was actually there this morning and it was great seeing him and being able to say hello!
I/we haven't been there in a few years to be honest, but it is still a great local place for OUTSTANDING food and great drinks!
Our waitress, Brittany was playfully sassy and a GREAT waitress and provided EXCELLENT service too!
Thanks you guys!
