What an amazing dinner experience! This has been on my list to try and my husband snagged a reservation for my birthday. Upon arrival the team was super friendly and attentive and wished me a happy birthday. We enjoyed the fluffy warm focaccia bread and the sliced meat plate to start. For my main meal I had the tagliatelle pasta and it was outstanding. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the flavors blended so well together, especially with my glass of Chianti. My husband's pasta was fantastic, which was surprising to me as I am not the biggest fan of mushrooms but it was brilliant! We enjoyed tiramisu for dessert and that was the perfect ending to the meal. The decor inside the building is beautiful and elevated for an intimate, cozy feel. Definitely will be back! read more

I had been wanting to try Il Nido for a long time. Reservations are in high demand, and I had to book as soon as the reservation window opened. We visited as a party of two. One thing I found interesting was that for reservation times between 6:00 and 7:00 PM, the only available option seemed to be patio seating. The restaurant has a parking lot, but compared to the size and popularity of the restaurant, it's fairly small. Finding a parking spot on a nice day in Alki can be challenging. The patio setup was a bit surprising for a restaurant of this caliber. As you can see from the photos, it felt more functional than inviting, and I expected a warmer atmosphere. Service was excellent. Our server was attentive, efficient, and communicated well throughout the meal. For food, the focaccia was the standout. It was fresh with a crispy exterior and a soft interior. The texture almost reminded me of something between bread and a croissant, and the olive oil served alongside it was excellent. The burrata was just okay for me. I wasn't a fan of the amount of spicy sauce on top, which overpowered some of the cheese's flavor. The tagliatelle was very good and met my expectations. The seafood special that night was salmon. It was cooked well and nicely prepared, but at $55 for a 6-ounce portion, it felt quite expensive. For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu, which was served in a mason jar. We were told to dig straight down to get all the layers in each bite, but it was served with a spoon that made that a little difficult. The presentation was unique, but the eating experience felt somewhat awkward. Overall, the food was good, service was excellent, but the pricing felt high for what we received. Between the limited seating choices, challenging parking, and decent-but-not-amazing food, I left feeling that the experience didn't quite match the hype. read more

This is a "special occasion" for me because of the prices, which are quite high. But let me tell you this: it is worth every penny, because the food, the service, and the room make it a very special place. Over the years, I've had some excellent meals there, like the one I had last night. From the moment you come through their door, when you're greeted by a pleasant host, until you leave with a full tummy, I think you'll love this place. The menu leans Italian, with some outstanding pasta dishes, and mighty fine they are. Last night I had tagliolini al limoni, which I think was the best pasta I have ever eaten. The room is nice too, simply and tastefully decorated, in an early Seattle historical structure. There is a deck on the back of the dining room, which seems to be used all year long. I do recommend you sit in the dining room instead, as it is kind of loud and cool on the deck, even though it is equipped with heat lamps. Service is first rate, just what you'd expect from a high end place like Il Nido. The staff seems to be well trained and professional--maybe I'd call them perfect, something we rarely find in this town. They have a small parking lot next to the restaurant, but unless you're eating early, you'll be lucky to find a place there. Parking on the street seems pretty easy, however. Take a drive to a nice part of Seattle, West Seattle, and enjoy a special night at Il Nido. I think you'll be delighted. read more

Il Nido - Tagleolini al Limone -- the best pasta I've ever had - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

First time coming in here and I was impressed! You can really tell that this restaurant puts in a lot of effort in their menu and they make to perfection. I had a reservation for two and we were seated a few minutes after checking. The restaurant is located in a historical and well maintained lodge called The Alki Homstead. The entrance area had a bar and you could see the kitchen from there as well. I ordered two appetizers, the kale salad and the Focaccia bread. The kale salad was so tender and easy to eat with a very balanced dressing on top. The Focaccia bread I think was whole grain and it was very soft and flavorful. For our main courses I got the fazzoletto pasta and the 10 oz ribeye steak. The fazoletto flavors were so well balanced and the mushrooms they put in it all added to the taste. The Ribeye was ordered as medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. Super lean and juicy. We got the spiced pair gelato and a fruit cake as desert and again all so well made. Nothing was too sweet and we were satisfied with the meal. Anyone that is in the area please give this place a chance as you wont be disappointed. I definitely plan on coming back to try out the rest of the menu! read more

Why did it take so long for me to try this place?! We started off with the focaccia bread w/ sunchokes. It was perfectly crispy, but soft and came with this garlic balsamic dip. It was so good we ordered two orders. The kale salad was probably one of my most favorite things. I could have probably eaten the whole order myself. Perfectly dressed and topped with a bunch of seeds and crispy things. It was perfect. All three of the pastas ordered were delicious in their own way, but my favorite was the Fazzoletto (single handkerchief, mushroom ragu, olive oil poached egg yolk soft herbs, parmigiano). Texture of the pasta was so good. Ended the night with tiramisu and it was the perfect ending to a very delicious meal. Will definitely need to return! read more

This place is constantly rated and recommended as one of the best Italian restaurants, if not all around restaurant, in the Seattle area. We made a reservation for a weekday night which was actually a little difficult to get. The outside looks like a house and we almost thought we were in the wrong spot! The inside is super cozy and cute, and does feel like you're just dining in someone's large house. Onto the food - I will say there were hits and misses, and overall the quality is good but I just cannot say it is justified by the price. We got the focaccia and proscuitto platter for appetizers, both of which were actually really good. The focaccia might've been my favorite item of the night - it was so crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the dip it came with was perfect. I also love proscuitto and the marinated kiwis were unique. For the mains, we got the lemon pasta, rigatoni, and daily special cavatelli. We also got the braised oxtail, everything to share. I think all of these were good but not that outstanding - the best were the cavatelli and oxtail while I really wasn't a fan of the lemon pasta. Portions are also quite tiny for the price. Overall, if you're looking for the nice environment, this place can do the job but if you're more after good food at good prices this may not be the spot for you. read more

A cozy dining treat. We were recommended to try Il Nido by some friends and we're so happy they introduced it to us. The whole experience was so cozy. Warmly lit, views into the kitchen with various spices hanging made it feel like we were just invited into nona's house. Even with a full house, it wasn't too loud and the music wasn't overbearing. Their menu is quite extensive. From appetizers, to drinks, to the main courses, if you love Italian food, there's something for everybody. Their pasta was absolutely amazing. Perfectly Al Dente, flavor was fantastic, the dishes had creativity. I ordered the Fazzoletto and my wife ordered the special of the night, which was a Cavatelli with anchovy oil, lemon, breadcrumbs, and stracciatella of burrata. Both dishes were great. The Fazzoletto was perfect. The mushrooms were soft, but not mushy, the egg yolk added a delightful creaminess, and the parm added a great umami sensation. The Cavatelli was also great. The anchovy oil was just present enough to be enjoyed, but not overpowering. The breadcrumbs added a nice crunch. Our only recommendation for the Cavatelli was it was slightly under salted to our liking. We think some crunchy pancetta or guanciale would have made the dish absolutely perfect, but that's just nitpicking. For dessert, we tried their Tiramisu, because I'm weak for a good tiramisu. I'm not exactly sure what they sprinkle on top to make it crunchy, but that added texture made it one of the best tiramisu dishes I've ever had. I think it was a mixture of coffee and chocolate crisp, but I could be wrong. Regardless, the crunch made it stand out that much more. read more

We celebrated my husband's birthday here. Their pasta dishes are my favorite. We tried the Agnolotti special that night (stuffed with short rib) and it was amazing. Our favorite was the Fazzoletto with the mushroom ragu. The braised oxtail was also beautiful and unique and we really enjoyed it. Their wine list is really excellent and has a fairly good variety of price points. We enjoyed the Teroldego by Vignetti Delle Dolomiti from Northern Italy. Lovely, friendly and warm staff without any hint of pretentiousness. The ambience is one of my favorite aspects -- charming, lovely low lighting, romantic, with a touch of rustic flair from the log cabin architecture that's just not like any restaurant I've been in. This time of year, there were festive garlands and white Christmas lights that made it extra magical. This will stay on our list of special spots for date nights and celebrations! read more

A quaint Italian restaurant by Alki beach with beautiful indoors and a patio (heated in the winter time). Street parking mostly. Food was pretty traditional Italian food with antipasta, pasta, seafood and steak. We got 2 pastas to try and it was cooked to perfect texture and flavor. Portion size was generous as well for $30-40 each pasta dish. Apps were about $10-20 and desserts around $15. Perfect spot for celebrations, date nights or just a nice dinner after a walk by the beach! read more

TLDR: Amazing upscale Italian dining experience right next to Alki beach. Great service, ambiance, and food that won't break the bank. Be prepared to get a reservation weeks or months in advance! Drinks: We had both an aperol spritz and the strega verde house cocktail which is a vodka + pear liqueur drink. The spritz was as expected, but the verde really stood out to me balancing the tart flavor of the pear with the vodka. Would get the verde again! Apps + Entrees: For appetizers, we had the house made focaccia and salad. I believe the salads rotate based on season. This time their salad revolved around beets and apples, mixing in great seasonal flavors. For mains we had the tagliatelle ragu and nightly special pasta which was a corkscrew shaped pasta with osso buco. The tagliatelle pasta had great balance between the rich ragu and the herbs, with the pasta being a great ribbony texture. The osso buco pasta was rich, meaty, and highlighted black/green peppercorns. While the entree portions initially looked small, we were both full after eating. Dessert: We shared the Olive Oil Panna Cotta which had fruit jam and a chocolate shortbread cookie. The jam did a great job cutting into the richness of the panna cotta and the cookie provided saltiness and textural variety Ambiance: The decorations are upscale but also cozy with nice candle lighting. The overall space isn't huge but well utilized. Service: Our server was knowledgeable and attentive, asking us about dietary restrictions, refilling waters, answering questions, and checking in on us. We also arrived to our reservation quite early and were able to get seated 30 mins before scheduled which was very kind. Prices: The prices were fair for the food and experience we had. Drinks were $17 each, apps $10-$15, pastas $30-40, and dessert $15. After tax and tip we spent $190 for 2 people which was well worth it in my opinion Misc: It's hard to get a reservation here! I would look to reserve at least 2+ weeks in advance. Also for those with Amex plat, this place is on Resy for your quarterly credit! read more

Great date night spot. Consistently serving good food with their seasonal menus. Must haves: Kale salad- super tender, full of flavor, but not too much sauce. Focaccia bread- with artichokes, and comes with a garlic infused olive oil. It has a thin layer of crunchy crust while the inside is super soft and flavorful. Ribeyes- not overly seasoned, just quality meat cooked to perfection. A must for any meat lover. Hubby's favorite. Overall, delicious food, great service, in a historic building. read more

Il Nido is a wonderful restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. We came for our anniversary and were greeted with a complimentary glass of bubbles. The service is top notch, friendly, and efficient. They wiped the table down between course and even fold your napkin while you're off to the restaurant room. Reservations can be made via Resy. There is free parking in the Homestead lot along the side of the restaurant. Fazzoletto is amazing. The pasta is has the perfect amount of bite and the cheese and egg really add great flavor to the dish. There were a variety of mushrooms provide. We orders their special of the day: seafood pasta (didn't catch the exact name). The seafood was cooked perfectly! So tender and delicious. The sauce could have used a bit more flavor or salt however. read more

Went here for a 3 year work anniversary and the vibes were great! A really cozy restaurant that is intimate and feels homey. It used to be the residence of the owners of Seattle soap company converted restaurant. The food was great, the starters of burrata and focaccia complemented each other well. The black cod was buttery and delectable. I personally have a sweeter tooth and the dishes had fruits in them which was a big fan of. Our waiter was very attentive, coming by multiple times to check and switching out our plates in between courses read more

An incredible dinner at Il Nido -- everything was so flavorful and beautifully balanced. Every dish was impressive, but the polenta and house bread (schiacciata) completely stole the show -- both were warm, comforting, and perfectly textured. The polenta was so buttery and creamy it almost melted in your mouth, and the schiacciata had that ideal crisp edge with a soft, fluffy center. We tried several pastas -- tagliatelle, fazzo lobster mushroom pasta, and gnocchi malfettati -- and each one was exceptional in its own way. The flavors were deep and nuanced, and the textures were spot on. Everyone at the table had their own favorite, which says a lot about how consistently good everything was. Other standouts were the black cod with celery and pear, shishitos, and torta di ricotta e plum for dessert -- light, refreshing, and the perfect way to end the meal. Service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere felt cozy yet refined. Easily one of my favorite meals in Seattle -- I'd come back just for the polenta and bread. read more

Trust me on this one... food was excellent! Service was exceptional. Similar to dining in Italy, when we were finished with our meal the feeling was satisfied and not over stuffed as you get with cheaper ingredients, not with fresh quality sourced that this kitchen uses.Very nice wine selection and cocktails. We sat at the bar and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Definitely will be back. read more

Was so go good last Saturday we went again. Cocktails were perfect, they offer corkage so our group of four took a bottle of champaign and a nice French Bordeaux. The Better than Burratta was as named and paired nicely with the facaccia. Entrees of Tagliatelle a Nido and Fazzoletto were exceptional and the pistachio angel food cake a delightful finish to a wonderful meal. read more

I wanted to love this place -- it carries serious hype and a strong reputation -- but left feeling underwhelmed. The menu is on the smaller side, which isn't inherently a problem, but the execution didn't elevate the limited selection. Nothing I tried was bad, but nothing was memorable either. The charcuterie felt like a missed opportunity -- bologna was the only cold cut on offer, and I kept wondering why something like capicola wasn't represented. The tiramisu, unfortunately, was a letdown; the texture was off in a way that distracted from what should be a straightforward dessert. Service was inconsistent. I had to flag down my waiter multiple times, which shouldn't be a recurring thing at this price point. The space is interesting -- it's housed in a historic building -- but the vibe skews casual weekday lunch rather than destination dining. The atmosphere and the price tag are at odds with each other. If the hype hadn't preceded it, I'd probably call this a decent neighborhood spot. But as a "best in the city" contender? It didn't make the case. read more

Made the long trek across town from Woodinville to Alki for dinner here and it was fantastic. Appetizers of Brussels sprouts, burrata, fried squash were all awesome. The burrito plate was dressed up with some pear, broccoli etc that made the appetizer shareable without each.person getting just a tiny bit ;) Their handkerchief pasta with wild mushrooms was amazing. Its been a while since I had had that fazzoletti pasta, and very few restaurants have that on the menu. The fettuccine and twin pasta bushes were pretty good as well. The dessert of sweet cream with plum jam gelato was delicious while the other chocolate dessert my son ordered that seemed like a brownie was decent, but nothing to write home about. The staff is super attentive and one of the best in the industry. The ambience is cozy, date night vibe and the restaurant is set in a house like structure. We were able to find street parking nearby. I highly recommend this place as one to make key occasions. read more

Il Nido - Wall art of either a manly Mona Lisa, or a Jesus look alike with beer ;) - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My favorite Italian restaurant by far. Rotating menu so it's always a little heartbreaking when I go, fall in love with a dish, and can't get it again. But no matter what menu they've had, I've enjoyed everything. Their salads may look simple but are always SO good. The flavors of the dressing are bright, refreshing, and compliments the ingredients. Focaccia is a staple, but it was a tad salty this time. My pasta was delicious, came out steaming hot. The noodle was perfectly thin and soaked up all the delicious sauce. I have yet to be disappointed by il nido besides the reservations being taken so fast. They are busy, and for good reason! Had olive oil panna cotta with jam and shortbread cookie for dessert. Not too sweet, jam was slightly tart, and panna cotta was creamy. The combination was great to end the night with. The dishes are simple, clean, and the bold flavors and ingredients speak for itself. I love that it's not greasy either and I leave feeling full but not hating myself. Service is attentive and nice without being overbearing. Intimidate dark setting inside perfect for a date. I appreciate that they have a small private parking lot. Overall 2 drinks, 2 apps, 2 entrees, and 1 dessert totaled about $160 before tip for two people. read more

I had an amazing dinner at Il Nido in the historic Alki Homestead. The cozy, rustic atmosphere made it feel extra special, and the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. We started with two Valentine's special cocktails ($16 each): the Pre-Nup (vodka, lemon, vanilla, rosewater) was light and floral, while Danielle Steele's Night Cap (gin, kopi coffee vermouth, cassis, orange twist) was a more light and fun replacement for my regular old fashioned. It had an ice cube with a heart shape on it! For appetizers, we had the Burrata ($23) with Anjou pears, confit fennel, and brown butter vinaigrette, the chili crisp gave a nice flavor which was more garlic forward and less spicy in a good way. The server recommended pairing it with the Focaccia ($12) which was warm, fluffy, and had skagit valley potatoes with fresh herbs in it. Our mains were just as impressive. The Fazzoletto ($40), with handkerchief pasta, mushroom ragu, and a silky egg yolk, was rich and comforting. It was my first time trying a handkerchief pasta and finding the pasta doesn't end/break was fun while trying to serve some. The Mafaldine ($33) had a great mix of flavors--ribboned noodles with zesty lemongrass pork sausage, colatura, and Tuscan kale. Il Nido is definitely a spot worth visiting for a special night out! read more

Missus and I got a same-week reservation for 8pm on a Friday in April 2025. Last time we were here it was ad-hoc, and we ended up sitting at the bar. Different experience indeed! We were warmly greeted and seated quickly by the host. It wasn't super busy but most of the tables were accounted for so it seemed like a very well-visited establishment. Attached "alki homestead" parking lot makes it easy and simple to park. We snagged a parking spot on the same side of the building! Ambiance is a low-key instrumental jazz track - not too loud, you can hear the conversations around you very clearly though. We ordered two drinks: the little paradise (hers) and the Bella Bianco (his). Both were delicious, but the missus liked my drink, so we swapped. The little paradise tasted faintly like a less-tomato-y bloody Mary, and the Bella Bianco had a smoother neutral texture. We ordered five food items: two apps (focaccia and burrata), two pastas (tagliatelle and fazzoletto), and one 9oz ribeye steak with black truffle butter (medium rare, obv). Let's start with the apps - wow! The focaccia on its own is already amazing (with the oil and vinegar). Missus said the burrata could have had more salt - and that they relied a lot on chili oil (I agree!). We both enjoyed these, though. The pastas were next. They replaced our fork/knife/plate, which was nice! Both of our favourite was the fazzoletto, by far. The tagliatelle was also good, but the fazzoletto is so much better! Lastly was the 9oz ribeye steak. They (again) changed the fork/knife/plate, but this time its a serrated steak knife (very nice)! The steak and butter were great - the lettuce made it feel like we had a healthy steak+salad combo. I really wanted to order dessert, so we got the olive oil cake. I considered the Gelato but it was black plum red wine flavoured. The cake body was very dense. Missus felt it was too "separate", and that it was very filling. I ended up eating most of it cuz she was FULL. Overall the meal took 1.5 hours (before dessert), which, given that they "close" at 9pm, and given its a Friday night, not bad! It did take some time to put orders in but the service was extremely courteous - they always checked in asking if we needed anything. read more

We had an above and beyond experience at Il Nido. They have a parking lot which makes the transition there so much easier. We went a little hard, and got the focaccia, 2 pastas, the ribeye, polenta and olive oil cake. Every single dish was divine!

an old historic looking building, very rustic and chic. pendleton blankets everywhere. we sat on the enclosed patio. drinks were great, focaccia was incredible. nuts were fine. we got the gnocchi pesto (this was a special) and the tagliatelle ragú and both were great but we preferred ragú. great service but not high luxury / fine dining. will be back read more

Our entire experience start to finish was so great. The staff is incredibly resourceful and friendly and makes your visit seamless. The restaurant itself is in an old cabin from the 1900s and exudes such a cozy ambiance. We started with the hand-tied burrata and everyone was thrilled, even my mom who is a notorious burrata hater. We got the focaccia to pair with the burrata and I wish I was able to take a loaf of that home with me it was so good. We ordered three pasta dishes: tagliatelle a nido, creste di gallo and their summer pasta special. We had no complaints, with my personal favorite pasta being the creste di gallo. Definitely a worthwhile spot to visit if you can snag a reservation. I'm already planning my trip back. read more

This was a Tuesday. My favorite dishes of the night were actually the antipasti. Really enjoyed the deep fried olives and the burrata. Highly recommend these both!

They didn't rush us, gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy, made great recommendations, and even started us off with a glass of sparkly to celebrate my husband's birthday.

We shared two pasta dishes--tagliatelle al nido and a lumache pasta dish with green tomatoes (special for the night). As much as I enjoyed the tagliatelle (reminded me of a similar dish that would eat at il Corvo) my favorite dish 2-: the lumache pasta--perfect bite and such a brightness with the tomatoes. It also didn't feel overly heavy as the tagliatelle did... Such an enjoyable evening and looking forward to hopefully heading back for the next special moment! read more

I made a reservation to celebrate an anniversary and saw Il Nido had good reviews. There's a parking lot which made it easy to park. There's also seasonal items which is nice. Overall all the staff were attentive and friendly which made the experience better. The aesthetics were also very interesting and had a historical aspect - it's not your typical nice restaurant. focaccia: really delicious tomato her focaccia that comes with a garlic olive oil and vinegar dip. If you love bread you'll love the focaccia. Negroni nuts: unique item I haven't come across and it was very good. slightly bitter and sweet and would definitely get them again. tagliatelle: the pasta was al dente and the ragu was meaty but on the salty side. Deckle cut steak (special) with bone marrow butter: very tender cut although I couldn't taste the bone marrow butter. polenta: served as an appetizer, the polenta was creamy and cheesy inside with the outside crunchy. blueberry panna cotta: nice end to the meal but would definitely try something else.

What a beautiful restaurant.. Perfect for a date night or a nice gathering with your friends. I would categorize this as upscale, with dishes in the $30 range. Everything is absolutely delicious! I am not a foodie, I did not understand the menu too much so I recommend looking online at photos and what not. The salad (see photo - similar to a caesar I would say) was so delicious, highly recommend. The bolognese was very filling, foccacia yummy, cocktail delicious and our service was above and beyond.

IL Nido - A Perfect 25th Anniversary Celebration We recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at IL Nido, and it was an unforgettable evening from start to finish. We arrived about 30 minutes early, and the staff graciously seated us right away -- such a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for the night. To our surprise and delight, we were welcomed with complimentary glasses of champagne to mark the occasion -- a beautiful touch that made us feel truly celebrated. From the very first bite, the food was impeccable. The focaccia bread was warm, soft, and perfectly seasoned -- the kind of bread you can't stop reaching for. The Fazzoletto was delicate and flavorful, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to refined Italian cuisine. The Tagliatelle a Nido was a standout -- rich, silky pasta layered with depth and comfort in every bite. For the main course, the 9oz Saratoga Cut Rib Eye was cooked to perfection -- tender, juicy, and full of flavor. We ended the night with the Tiramisu, which was the perfect finale -- light yet indulgent, and beautifully presented. What really made the experience exceptional was the warmth and attentiveness of the staff. Every detail -- from the champagne welcome to the pacing of each course -- reflected genuine care and professionalism. IL Nido is the kind of place that makes any occasion feel extraordinary. Elegant, intimate, and deeply satisfying -- a perfect spot for a milestone celebration. We couldn't have chosen a better place to toast to 25 years together. read more
