Food was amazing very homey vibe me and my family loved our experience . You must try the lemon cheese cake your heart will melt with every bite definitely making it a family thing once a week . thank yall are awesome read more

We had a fantastic meal here. The lamb special was tender and flavorful, the penne vodka was rich and perfectly balanced, and the lobster stuffed ravioli was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and beautifully prepared. We finished with dessert and espresso, which were just as impressive. The lemon cake was light, fluffy, and perfectly citrusy, and the tiramisu was creamy and indulgent with a lovely chocolate drizzle. The espresso was smooth with a great crema and paired perfectly with dessert. A special shoutout to our server Manuel, who was outstanding. He was warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. We also loved the small, cozy atmosphere -- it felt welcoming and charming, the kind of place where you want to sit, relax, and enjoy your meal. We'll definitely be back read more

FOOD POISONING ALERT I'm 8 months pregnant and came here on Mother's Day with my husband and toddler, hoping for a nice family celebration. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. I ordered the seafood linguine special, while my husband had the veal marsala. The seafood in my pasta immediately tasted off -- especially the clams and mussels, which seemed old and likely frozen for far too long. Even my toddler, who normally LOVES seafood pasta at Italian restaurants, refused to take a second bite after trying it. I enjoyed seafood pasta from many other places but could barely finish my food that day. Later that night, I developed severe abdominal pain. At 8 months pregnant, any cramping is terrifying, and I genuinely thought I might be going into labor. After hours of pain coming and going, bloating, gas, vomiting, and diarrhea the next day, it became pretty obvious the food was the cause. Ruined Mother's Day and caused unnecessary stress during pregnancy. I will never order seafood from here again. read more

Went to Brunello for my birthday and had an amazing meal. Greeted by a very nice man and taken to a perfect table. Delicious bread and olive oil set onto our table and water. We were advised we were there during Happy Hour so could order off the HH menu if we wanted to. We ordered the king salmon special and the ravioli dish. I asked to have linguine instead of ravioli which was granted and it was SO delicious and exactly what I wanted for my birthday meal. You would think you were in an Italy! Can't wait to take my girls there for a fun Italian meal! read more

Fantastic Italian restaurant with daily happy hour from 3:00-6:00 pm. Stayed nearby in an Airbnb and this was within walking distance. Really loved the atmosphere as well as the bottomless bread with oil dipping sauce, staff was extremely friendly and loved their authentic accents! We ordered a bottle of wine, the meet & cheese plate from the happy hour menu, the spaghetti bolognese, and the lasagna. Everything was truly delicious. I really enjoyed the bolognese it was so meaty and flavorful. The lasagna was very good as well. Would strongly recommend to anyone in the area. read more

I would give them 6 stars if I could. We arrived just before happy hour ended and planned to order from their extensive happy hour menu, but the dinner specials sounded too good to pass up. I had the lobster ravioli with prawns, and it was flawless--rich, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. The slight char on the prawns added incredible flavor. My wife ordered the filet with cognac cream sauce, and it was heavenly. Honestly, I'd have a hard time choosing between the two. Our server, Carlos, was fantastic--friendly, funny, and his accent only added to the experience. We're already planning our next visit to actually try the happy hour menu this time. Maybe tonight? read more

Food was absolutely incredible! Service was amazing, we had the sweetest server! Ambience was so sweet for the area we sat outside on a beautiful summer night. Everything was 10/10 and I don't leave reviews lightly! Will be recommending to all my friends in the area. Also we just happened to find this on the map trying to find a nice spot to eat nearby expecting nothing. Ended up being one of the nicest dinners I've had in Seattle! read more

Fantastic food and great service. Support this local restaurant, people!! Order the spaghetti bolognese and thank me later... the happy hour is also a great deal to try if you're on the fence, entrees and many other things are nearly half off. I love coming here and enjoy my food every time. 10/10! read more

We needed a nearby spot for an early dinner with a party of 6... found Brunello on Yelp and glad we did! The gentlemen serving us were friendly, knowledgeable, and authentic! Since we were early, it was still happy hour - very solid drink specials and virtually every pasta dish was half price for a smaller portion. They start you with warm bread and a delicious olive oil dip - we ate too much... Every entree was amazing, and all 6 of us raved about the flavors. I ordered the special wild boar gnocchi and slurped the whole thing down, even though I was stuffed halfway through. No room for dessert but we found a solid spot if you need one in Roosevelt! read more

Very nice dinner at Brunello Ristorante. Attractive atmosphere and pleasant, helpful staff. We visited during their happy hour. The Fettuccine with salmon, Rigatoni Salsiccia and Vodka Fettuccine were all delicious. We also had two happy hour salads. These pasta dishes were very filling due to the rich cream based sauce so we had leftovers. Next time, 2 regular salads and 2 happy hour pastas would probably be perfect. read more

I really wanted to like this small family-run restaurant in the quaint Roosevelt neighborhood, but my dinner experience was less than ideal. My mom and I arrived around 7pm and there was no wait and lots of open tables on a Monday night. We were able to choose between indoor and outdoor seating and decided to do indoor. The outdoor area looked nice but is on the main Roosevelt Way NE road, where lots of traffic pass by. For the two of us, we ordered the clam and mussel appetizer ($22) and a pasta. We wanted to order the clam pasta ($29) but was upsold by the waitress for the seafood special pasta ($45) without her telling us the price. After we ordered, complimentary bread was brought out. However, they gave us 2 pieces from each end of the loaf, and one mismatched piece from the center of the loaf. One end, I understand. But two ends? With an obvious discontinuation with the insertion of one middle piece? Just disrespectful. It wasn't toasted and was cold when it arrived. The food was all okay and were pretty big portions. Even though one was an appetizer, it was more than enough for the two of us, since we don't usually eat a lot of starch. The bread on the appetizer was much better than our sad end pieces from the complimentary bread. I was pretty miffed about the whole end piece bread thing the whole dinner and that probably affected my experience, but overall, I was disappointed by this restaurant. read more

Brunello's is one of those fantastic neighborhood gems that you only hear about via word of mouth or sheer blind luck. In my search for the best true Italian eateries in Washington state, this place effortlessly earned a spot on the list. Tucked away in a north Seattle neighborhood, Brunello's has all of the authentic ambiance and flavor of Tuscany, right down to the waitstaff. The waitstaff is attentive, the service is excellent and dining, whether for dinner or happy hour, is encouraged (with absolutely no pressure to turn tables), This is true Italian hospitality and it is rare to find in the states. The food is absolutely delightful. My sole mission was to sample their pasta but they had duck with risotto on special and I simply could not pass it up. The morel mushroom risotto was firm and savory, exactly as it should be. The duck was tender and melted in my mouth. The Barbera wine was a solid partner to the dish. And the homemade bread...fresh out of the oven with olive oil, herbs and freshly grated Parmesan. It was everything I'd been looking for. I wrapped up my dining experience with their wild strawberry gelato and an espresso martini. The gelato was absolutely wonderful. Creamy, house made...with bits of wild strawberry poking through. Delicious! Since I never managed to try out the pasta, I now have an excuse to go back on my next trip to Seattle. Brunello's is now a solid fixture on my radar. read more

We had the best experience, so I could not give anything less than 5 stars. Inside is bigger than it looks, but yet quaint all the same. It feels like a posh environment, but still comfortable and romantic. We were next to the fireplace, and the best tunes were playing through Sinatra, Ella Fitgerald, Nina Simone, etc. Our service was warm, friendly, and perfect. All of our food was prepared well and delicious. We had chianti and a Manhattan, which was made perfectly, mista salad, fettucine salmon, chicken parmigiana, lemon cake, coffee, and house made limoncello. Not even one little critique at all. read more

If you follow me, you know, I don't give very many five stars. It is a very rare rating. Brunello is an absolute must-try Italian spot. Truly one of those places you leave already plotting your return. We went for a group dinner, and the service was chef's kiss phenomenal. The ambience is a very good chill place. Let's talk happy hour, because this might be the best one I've had in all of Seattle. Who else is out here offering multiple pastas and appetizers on a happy hour menu? It feels borderline illegal, in the best way. We ordered a lineup of starters, and honestly, you can't go wrong. The meatballs, the olives al forno, and the caprese were all standouts and absolutely worth ordering. For entrées, we sampled the ravioli aurora, spaghetti carbonara, penne pasta, and the chicken piccata, and every single dish delivered. The flavors were rich, balanced, and completely memorable. For dessert, we sampled everything from the cheesecake to the tiramisu to the limoncello cake, and every single one was ridiculously delicious. I tried a homemade orangecello for the first time and move over limoncello. I've found my new citrus king. read more

Went with a group of out of town friends and we had a lovely time. Our server - the manager maybe? - was great. He was friendly and happy, and he kept us very well tended too. The food was wonderful. I had the veal special and it was delicious. But the tiramisu. My god the tiramisu. We all went nuts for it. We spent the rest of our time together fondly remembering the tiramisu. Definitely don't skip on the tiramisu. read more

I looooove their classic spaghetti bolognese and their bottomless bread! I get it to go quite often. Inside the ambience is cozy and good for a date night :) ive been here with a girl friend and also with my boyfriend. Service is typically good I just had 1 instance of someone asking me if we were doing good like every 5 minutes and my friend and I were verrrrry annoyed. Our convo kept getting interrupted... Outside is pretty dark and parking is in the side of the road, whatevers available! Each time ive been here I havent had a problem finding parking though! read more

Upon walking in, I really didn't know what to expect. Parking wasn't the easiest and when I walked in for my reservation (as my boyfriend continued to look for parking), I wasn't really sure if I was even in the right place (no hostess stand). Within a minute of me walking in, who I believe to be the manager asked if I'd been helped yet. He then directed me to the hostess who said she'd be getting a table ready. After this, everything flowed smoothly and quickly. I ordered the soup of the day (minestrone) and my boyfriend got a Caesar salad. For our mains, we got spaghetti bolognese and rigatoni. Everything was delicious, our server was attentive and prompt. I'd definitely return here and recommend it to others. Just pack your patience when it comes to parking. read more

We came here on a Monday night at about 6:30 PM. I love Brunellos because they have both an elegant and relaxed environment. We opted to sit outside as it was a beautiful summer evening. I ordered my favorite, which is their pesto gnocchi, with chicken as well as some wine and completed that with the Affogato. Complete and pure indulgence, but I love going to Brunellos for exactly that. They are becoming one of my all time favorites! read more

Went here for a Valentine's Day date, it way busier than I expected. The overall atmosphere was pretty cozy, just felt like a neighborhood family owned restaurant. We had the meatballs as the appetizer, it tasted like homemade and we'd love to order again. There was a short gap between appetizers and our pastas. Might due to the customer load, but the wait time was acceptable. The pastas were really delicious, especially the sauce. Overall, really good experience. Btw, their homemade bread with Parmesan cheese was a plus. Highly recommended! read more

I used to love this restaurant, but it has now been under new management. The food quality is not the same. We were seated promptly after we arrived to the restaurant. It was quiet and not crowded. We ordered the wine, the appetizer, and two pasta. The wine tasted low quality, and the appetizer (calamari) was a huge disappointment. It was so bland and has a burnt bitter taste. Honestly, one of the worst dish I've ever had. With the negative experience with the wine and appetizer, we asked for the check to leave. They actually said it's on them since we didn't like the experience which I'll give one additional star. read more

We travelled into town late in the evening and, being Valentine's Day, it was difficult to find a restaurant with available seating. Brunello Ristorante had availability, and even though we arrived near closing, we were greeted with smiles and given a table. The service was great, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was rustic Italian and quaint. I would highly recommend going there. I had the filet with risotto, and it was gluten-free as well. read more
