Best Italian Courses In Seattle Near Me

Matt Alford: I had a great house salad for dinner and taramisu for dessert. Good was good, prices good, service good. Definitely going back.Parking: Several parking garages within a few blocks.

Dina Lane: We were a group of seven adults coming to Seattle specifically to experience dinner at Luigi's for the first time. We were intrigued to try the Chefs Dinner and it did not disappoint. We paid a set price and had no idea what would be coming, which was a fun adventure. We were served garlic bread, brussel sprouts in a bacon cream sauce, cured meats, roasted peppers with burrata, mixed greens with apples and feta, sausage tortellini with a vodka cream sauce, flank steak over a bed of mushrooms and creamy polenta and cannoli for dessert. It was a ton of food and everything was excellent. Lots of great flavors and colors in the dishes. The space was very open and casual in a neat old building. I expected more of an upscale Italian vibe. There were areas of untidiness back toward the kitchen and bathroom. There was modern rock music playing and a large TV with the football game on. The servers were attentive and unassuming, a little cool at first but warmed to us after a bit. We had a really good time and left fat and happy.

Davin: So, while hanging out in Seattle waiting to go to the Astro Lumino light show, we decided to fi d somewhere to have dinner. We ended up here with no expectations. Right off the back, we both agreed that the atmosphere was very appealing. The lighting and the decor were perfect for us. Tera was our server for the night, and she only made things better as the night progressed. She took the time to go through the menu and gave recommendations based on things we liked, and the choices didn't disappoint. Thers was a mistake on her part with our order due to her taking our orders multiple times because we couldn't decide lol She didn't hesitate to take care of us and didn't charge us for it. We definitely recommend this place if you haven't had italian food in a while.

Timothy Williams: Wow! Tavolata, Belltown knocked it out of the park on this trip. Everything was amazing! The Gnocchi was delicious with just the right spice. The Salad was one of the best I’ve had and it too was a little spicy with the pistachios. The Carbonara was excellent, although a little salty. The Ragu Pappardelle was delicious! The brussels sprouts were OK. The Burrata was great! To drink, the Spicy Dead Lady was so good. It’s a Mezcal drink with some bitters and sweetness in it. McKenzie was our waitress and she did an amazing job and helped create this delicious drink and brought it to the menu. The restaurant was nice and clean and the layout was good, although it’s long and narrow. They have tables to accommodate the space, so there’s lots of seating together and your seat may be right next to another group. The servers were nice and attentive as well as helpful and accommodating. Overall, I was very impressed with the flavor of the foods and would totally recommend this to anyone looking for a bit of spice on tasty Italian dishes.

Beth Sethi: . This sends the message that guests are welcome to come that late and still enjoy a good meal, even though the restaurant closes at 10pm. However, that was not our experience.I received a phone call during the show that the bar would close at 10, and that we were welcome to arrive earlier than our 9:45 reservation if we wanted to enjoy a few rounds of drinks. Our show ended shortly after 9 so we went straight to the restaurant, arriving around 9:20.We were seated immediately and we ordered drinks and food fairly quickly for a group of our size. After the food arrived, however, it became clear that the staff were done and ready for us to move on. No second round of drinks was offered, not even before 10. A few in our party asked shortly after 10, but by that point the bar was closed. No dessert was offered, and the server began to clear plates around 10:15 that people in our group were still eating from. They had to basically pull the plates back out of his hand. The bill was brought without us asking for us around 10:20.We probably would not have lingered much past 10:30, but the end of the meal felt so incredibly rushed and we felt we clearly had no choice but to leave. If that's how the restaurant is run, then it doesn't make sense to offer 9:45 or 10pm reservations. For a beautiful meal like what we enjoyed, and a group of our size, it makes sense to assume guests will linger at least an hour to an hour and a half.I would visit the restaurant again but only earlier in the evening. We tried a variety of dishes and every single one was delicious, fresh, and very special. If only the service had matched the food, it would have been a perfect dinner.

evan tieman: Пришел в четверг вечером, и нас встретил дружелюбный персонал и отличное живое фортепиано. Мы попросили место у окна, и наша официантка Сара разместила нас и подарила нам идеальный ужин в интимной обстановке. Нашу еду к нашему столу принесла Анджела, которая была хорошо осведомлена и рада объяснить, какую еду мы получали. Наконец бармен Макс остановился у нашего стола, чтобы предложить вино к нашей еде, что подняло нашу еду на новый уровень. Забота и знания этого персонала не имеют себе равных, и я определенно рекомендую La Spiga всем, кто ищет настоящую итальянскую кухню.

James: for about 5 dollars lessmoving on, i also ordered the flourless chocolate cakethis i wasn't really a fan offirst, the filling was pretty dry. it tasted mostly like crumbs and there wasn't much, if any, chocolate filling insidebecause of how tall the cake was, it meant that you would have couldn't really eat the cake vertically, like you would in a normal cake, which enables you toget frosting with each bite. when the cake slice is this tall and thin, you have to eat exclusively from the base at first. this also resulted in the cake toppling overa few bites inalso, i'm not a big fan of the raspberry sorbetto on the cake - it didn't fit super wellthe vanilla creme tasted good but there really wasn't a lot of it - it was more there as a decorationoverall, i loved the pork but the cake was a bit of a miss. 8.5/10

Sarah Tyler-Peterson: Amazing food, atmosphere, and ambiance. Our server, who we later learned was the owner and chef, was phenomenal. He was personable and attentive. Definitely recommend this little gem in Eastlake! We look forward to returning to Pomodoro Ristorante on future adventures to Seattle!

Matthieu Maitre: , cozy ambiance

Joclyn Cook: This restaurant is the one and only of it's kind. It is a Italian-Spanish fusion, with fresh, modern, unique, well blended flavors. This is one of the only restaurants that I have ever come across where I was surprised by the intensity and complexity of flavors.They start you off with bread and this pesto guacamole fusion. The herbs are fresh and you can taste a hint of smokiness. Unique and well balanced. Very fresh and light.The Ceasers salad we ordered was very fresh. I mean the dressing, the fresh cut lettuce, and the freshly ground Parmesan, and the croutons were nice and crunchy. I can't get over how fresh the dressing tasted. The fresh pepper they placed on top gave it a nice bold flavor that brought out the smokey flavor of the sardines from the dressing. It was very creamy.For our entrés, we ordered the minila clams and linguine with the apricot chicken. Both had more of that smokiness and fresh herbs. The clams were exquisite with the hint of whatever the red droets we're around the rim of the plate. The chicken was juicy, sweet from the apricot, yet savory with the pomodoro noodles that was served on the side. Mixing the two paired very well.For dessert we ordered the spamoni ice cream and créme brulee. The spamoni ice cream was the best I've tasted ever. The créme brulee was fresh and had the light smooth contrasting with the crunchy sugar top.To add to the wonderful food, I can not express how amazing the service was. Very personable and kind. Gave wonderful suggestions on where to go around Seattle pertainent to our likes. The decor was light and fitting for the type of cousine.Vegetarian options: They had organic vegan optionsDietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta available upon request. Parking: The parking is free nearby. Kid-friendliness: I brought my 4 year old and they were kind and courteous. No kid options or coloring pages, but there is food kids can eat. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible. Tight fit, but doable. The bathroom, however, is not wheelchair friendly.

Shaun Kim: Good service and foods. Will go again.

Morgan: Delicious food, great service, and the waiter was very helpful and entertaining.

Ana Short: Delicious tapas and Italian food. It was 15 years between visits and the food was still amazing.

Generous Yeh: . One of our friends had their birthday and was extremely warmed as well with a delicious cake and jolly happy birthday. We came last minute unsure where to go, but were greatly pleased.Everything was good. No, everything was fantastic. I'm not sure I can pick a favorite, will definitely be back to try more and even reorder many of the entrees, no question. I could close my eyes and point at any item knowing it'll be amazing. Portion sizes were also much larger than initially expected. We figured we'd still be hungry after and are used to smaller, but expensive plates at other restaurants. We even planned out other food options but, those weren't needed at all.

Jason McColly: Fantastic menu and fantastic food. Unfortunately I'm ignorant I can't pronounce the dishes without butchering it but the food came out great and I really enjoyed the ambience. It was hotter than hell in there when we ate but it didn't get in the way of our five star dinner. Wonderful service as well. Very entertaining server.

Leanne Mustafa: it was pricey, like $200ish, but that's with multiple drinks too. Over all it was a delight from start to finish. Amazing food, great pace, wonderful service we're coming again with friends 😍😍😍

Randy: Quality food and drinks at very reasonable prices.

Laura: Visited on Valentine's Day and ordered from their Wolfie Valentine prix fixe menu, which included four shared appetizers, choice of pasta, choice of main, and choice of dessert.Steak tartare - it was okay, but pretty bland and under seasoned. Kind of had to rely and the salt flakes on the cracker for seasoning. I also wish the crackers were thicker, or that there were a couple more of them.Ahi crudo - pretty good, sauces were tasty and well balanced!Delicata squash with goat cheese - this was my favorite of the appetizers. Well cooked, slightly caramelized.Burrata with beets & kumquat - beets and kumquats were sweet and sour, which complemented the creamy burrata really well.Duck pappardelle - pasta was overcooked, so it was kind of mushy. Sauce was a bit plain, but duck was nice and tender.Black trumpet tagliatelle - well cooked, and tasty! Huge portion, we ended up taking some home to save space for the main course.Scallops - sadly also overcooked, so they were too chewy. I thought the fresh blood orange slices were a bit overpowering, but enjoyed all the other components.Zabuton - well cooked, but the cut was fattier than we expected. And more weight from the nduja butter on top. It needed something more to counterbalance the fattiness. The rutabaga puree was unpleasantly bitter.Almond frangipane torte - by far our favorite course! Delicious mix of flavors and textures. Only regret was ordering soebetto instead of two tortes.Service - overall very attentive, friendly service. The check in was not quite ideal, since there's no space inside to wait for your reservation, so we had to wait outside in the cold.Ambiance - cozy and romantic.

Nick Villanti: .We started with Cesar salad

CrystalGaiil: Visited Seattle for the first time and tried out La Vita e Bella! I ordered the ravioli with marinara and my sister ordered the penne pesto. I did not know that reservations were required but they last minute took in my sister and I! Very grateful for the service they provided with their friendly and warm atmosphere. The food came out very fast and the workers were very attentive. I will for sure be ordering from here any time I come to Seattle!! Thank you to Pedro, our server.

Xess Dx: were solid, flavourful, still moist but not a big ball of filler.My date had farfalle with a smoked salmon cream sauce. This wasn't a hint of salmon, it was bountiful and balanced and a delightful dinner.The wine list is extensive, and you can go as deep down a wine lover's rabbit hole as you like, or just go for a glass of cheap red, and either way you'll be happy.The ambiance is neighborhood. Not so fancy a polo and a ball cap is out of place, not so casual that date night attire feels too dressy. The glass fixtures and decor are fun and upbeat. Music is not so loud you can't have a conversation, but it does fill in the ambiance nicely.Please don't Tik Tok the place to hell, tell your friends, but keep it to your friends only so it doesn't become a place you can't get a table.They do have outside sidewalk seating, so I bet it'd be lovely in Summer.Local or visiting town, or definitely staying by the market, take a stroll to LA Vita E Bella. It really is.And don't skimp dessert!

Cat V: for 5pm on a Friday. We arrived early and several other couples were waiting outside for it to open. The vibe is nice, very relaxed and comfortable with a homey small town Italian feel to it.I started with the soup, which was lentil, and it was very good. It just melted in your mouth. I don’t even like lentils and I thoroughly enjoyed this. My finance got the bresaola which looked amazing and he said it was very good.We had several drinks, each of which were good too.I had the penne pesto which was great. I’m very picky about pesto and this was one of the best restaurant pestos I’ve had - it was fresh, made with pine nuts, and the cream added a lot. It was very smooth, which is not my preference

Denise Jacobs: Fantastic, authentic Italian food and atmosphere with outstanding service! We went recently to celebrate our anniversary, and Bella was a favorite lunch restaurant of mine when I worked downtown 18 years ago. As we moved away from Seattle 8 years ago, I was excited to learn that La Vita E Bella is still there and still as wonderful as I remember! My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous meal and experience.

Salome Kanaba: Very good food and outstanding customer serviceVegetarian options: Tasty Delicious so many options great food 😋, I love to go get real Italian taste at due cucina restaurant .made with love and thr price is right .❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 what else do I need I got my favorite place.

Aya Fattah: Visiting Seattle for the first time and came across this restaurant. Beautiful restaurant atmosphere. One of the best Italian food experiences we have ever had! The staff and owner were very welcoming, friendly, and understanding of our dietary restrictions. Our pasta dishes were perfectly flavored! Would definitely come back to Seattle for this restaurant!

Savannah Hollis: Truly an incredible spot! The atmosphere felt very authentic and the food was unbelievable. They also had one of my favorite wines on the menu that is extremely hard to find in the US!10/10 would recommend!

Siddharth Pathak: Went for a birthday dinner, and the service and atmosphere was probably the best I have seen in Seattle. They made sure we are comfortable, and service was very prompt. This place is really unique with its seating near a fountain, red bricked walls and canopy of trees.Only thing which was not perfect was the food, it was great -- just not perfect as everything else. Personally, I think the food was more on the sweeter side and it can be more flavorful.

Tori Twine: We had a fantastic dinner here. The atmosphere was beautiful, even though the courtyard was not yet open for dining due to the weather. Our service was fantastic and all of the food was delicious. I tried the linguine nere al salmone; the lemon cream sauce was slightly more lemony than I prefer, but still very good. The smoked salmon in it was the best I’ve had. It was so tender that it almost melted in my mouth.The atmosphere is very romantic and cozy and we enjoyed the music from the pianist during dinner. The entire experience was worth the money. It’s hard to find Sicilian style Italian food in Seattle and the food here was very close to what we ate in Italy.

Majo Pacreu: Wow wow wow, exceptional service from these guys!! They were so kind in making our anniversary special! They even wrote a hand written card for us!! It’s those little details we appreciated!! Such yummy food, I highly recommend the salmon linguine with lemon cream sauce! Waiters recommendation and a 10/10!! If you’re visiting Seattle 100% visit them!!

Snow Rose: . Also a special appetizer of garlic butter mushrooms; they came warm and I put some on top of the olive oil bread for a stellar flavor outcome.Then a starter salad. I ordered the Verde, it default comes with Italian dressing. I ordered it as listed on menu, while lamenting to myself internally that it wasn't balsamic. My salad came and miraculously happened to have balsamic on it! It was literally the "mistake" I was dreaming of

Ryan Dewey: Great traditional Italian
