One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Seattle. Our server’s name was Leo (hope I’m spelling that right) and he was phenomenal. I came in with my whole family and service was quick and friendly. The food was AMAZING!! We ordered everything. Drinks, appetizers, mains and dessert and they were all great. As a Seattle Foodie I’d definitely recommend this place, portion sizes are amazing as well as the quality of their food and service. 100/10. Thanks Leo for letting my mom practice Italian with you!!

Cinque Terre is a 10/10 restaurant. My partner and I consistently come back here for special occasions. Every time, we’re welcomed and well taken care of throughout the night of service. Cody in the bar area is absolutely amazing at what he does. We highly recommend sitting in the bar area for their happy hour. You can tell that the servers here care about their customers and the service they provide. We thank Cinque Terre for always leaving us with a smile on our faces and a wonderfully memorable experience each time we go in. 🤍

I didn’t realize walking in that this was a farm to table restaurant. Very pleasant surprise. The food was excellent, fresh and distinct flavors. The server was very friendly and helpful, but seemed a bit overwhelmed. I had the charcuterie board (chef’s appetizer mix). Delicious variety. The blue cheese was wonderfully creamy. My main was a wild boar pasta. You can tell the pasta is made in house, so great!!!

We had dinner here to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is perfect for a slightly upscale dinner or any special occasion. We arrived around 7:30 PM, and although we didn’t need a reservation, I’d recommend making one just in case. We started with a glass of wine (prices are a bit on the higher side) served with warm bread and homemade pesto — such a nice touch. For our appetizer, we ordered oysters, and they were exceptionally fresh! We’re used to good seafood, but these really stood out. My husband ordered the Prosciutto Pizza, and I had the Calamarata al Pesce pasta. I didn’t try the pizza myself, but my husband said the dough was amazing and loaded with toppings. My pasta was clearly homemade — you can taste the difference — and it came packed with seafood, especially the mussels, which were outstanding. It was one of those dishes where you want extra bread just to soak up every drop of that incredible sauce. To finish, the staff kindly brought us a tiramisu on the house — perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and without that overly bitter coffee taste you sometimes get. Truly exceptional (and I say that as someone who’s lived in Italy!). The bathrooms were spotless, and I loved that you can see the kitchen from the dining area. Overall: excellent atmosphere, top-quality food, and genuinely warm service. Highly recommended for a romantic or special evening out.

We stopped by this restaurant on our last day in Seattle, and it turned out to be a really nice choice. The place felt warm and welcoming as soon as we walked in, good vibes all around, perfect for enjoying a relaxed dinner before heading home. Service started off well. Our server greeted us quickly and was friendly, and we didn’t have to wait long for the food, which was great. I went with the lasagna, and it was delicious authentic Italian flavor. The salmon was also tasty, and I liked that they had a solid selection of European and Latin American wines to pair with dinner. Dessert, though, was a bit of a letdown. The menu wasn’t explained clearly, so we just ordered two scoops of gelato. For the price, it felt too simple, and the presentation wasn’t what we expected. On top of that, once we finished eating, we felt like we were being rushed out a little, which made things less comfortable. All that said, the atmosphere was still very nice, and I’d call it a good spot for dinner in Seattle. Customer service just needs a little more attention to match the quality of the place. Parking isn’t a problem there are plenty of paid lots and garages close by. One last thing to note: they add a 3.5% fee to the bill. The explanation on the check wasn’t super clear, but if it helps keep the restaurant running and supports better service, I don’t mind contributing.

Barolo Ristorante brings authentic Italian cuisine to downtown Seattle at 1940 Westlake Ave. Diners praise generous wines and bold flavors, from bolognese and steaks to tomato caprese, octopus, gnocchi, and chili clam pasta. The warm, inviting space complements attentive service, with guests noting friendly staff and a memorable dining experience.
