    Italian wedding soup
    Harshmeet S.

    Had a wonderful experience visiting the cute Italian place. We were greeted well while visiting this place on Friday evening. The service was very good and I ordered the fettuccine chicken and tiramisu. They give bread and a choice of salad/soup. I took the soup and it was delicious and fresh and so was the bread with the pasta. The pasta was one of the best I have had in a long while. I absolutely loved the place and their service! The tiramisu was okay, I could have avoided ordering the dessert. Absolutely recommend this place. It is a strong 4.5

    Cute little pizza restaurant and it feels like you're in Italy. Perfect lunch spot with good lunch specials

    Ravioli Aurora with Spinach

    The ravioli was great. It has a lot of veggies! The soup that came with the ravioli was very flavorful. We also enjoyed the eggplant appetizer, sour but a little sweet.

    Half & half large pizza w/ Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza / Sicilian Special Pizza
    Han H.

    So good! And pretty decently priced for a sit down pizza restaurant. My 3 friends and I opted for the family size pasta, which comes with 2 side salads or 2 soups. We went for the large pizza which was about 12 slices. We asked for garlic crust but don't think we it :( It was quick service, and they came by and asked us how our food was at least once. Cost came out to $88. And one of us took about 3-4 slices home and maybe a half portion of pasta.

    Penne alla vodka with seafood
    Aylish T.

    We had a reservation for a party of 10 on a weeknight and Palermo truly delivered. Great quality for a really good price! Really big menu with plenty of pizzas, pastas, calzones, etc. I had the penne alla vodka with seafood. It has a creamy rose sauce that perfectly smothers the noodles and seafood. Mussels, squid, and I think shrimp were all cooked well, maybe slightly overdone but didn't matter to me lol. Mimosa yummy, wine yummy, good vibes, feels super family-oriented and the service was so kind the whole evening. We had a truly wonderful dinner that we all still talk about!

    The food is amazing! We stopped in on a Friday after 3pm and that was the best decision ever! The service was prompt and delightful. The restaurant was spotless and not noisy. The prices are reasonable and I left very happy.

    20. Zesty Bacon Pizza
    Abdullah A.

    We were ordering pizza for a party in Ballard. They readily accommodated a large order (7 extra large pizzas) same-day. When we were running ahead of schedule, they even moved up our order. Each pizza was different: cheese, veggie, antipasto (artichoke, sun dried tomato, and basil), meat lovers, BBQ chicken, zesty bacon, and arugula with prosciutto. Everything was a hit with our guests. The fan favorite was definitely the zesty bacon (bacon, pineapple, mushroom, and jalapeño). I would order that again in a heartbeat. Toppings were generously layered, with just the right amount of chewy crust. We fed everyone for less than $10 per head and had over a pizza and a half left over. A great pick for if you want to feed a group, but want to go a step up from Domino's or Pizza Hut.

    13. Pizza Provencale + Goat Cheese and Eggplant
    Nicole S.

    This was a delivery order but there was absolutely no disappointment here. The pizza was excellent, adding the goat cheese was a great move and I was so happy that when I added eggplant it was prepared expertly and tasted wonderful. We didn't eat in, so I've only had take out, but I'd love to come into the restaurant itself and have some more authentic dishes. I also ordered the chocolate covered cannoli and was so happy with how delicious it was-hence no pics

    We had a party of 10 (walk-in) and were seated immediately by friendly staff! This place is quite generous with its portion sizes, located in an adorable Ballard neighborhood Chicken fettuccine: standard, pretty solid! Salmon pappardelle: Loved the texture of pappardelle & the salmon was solid too, well-done piece of fish Seafood special: Not a fan, unfortunately. Something about the fishiness didn't mix well with the vodka sauce & seasoning. Chicken parm: again, standard and did the job! Pizza: Delicious, and it was really cute they served it to us on the little wooden paddle Overall, solid Italian food. Just a bit heavy on the flavor, oil, etc. but you won't leave hungry :)

    I will forever dream of this place for the rest of my life…read more Make the reservation. A girlfriend and I tried to book 2 weeks out and it was fully booked. A couple hours later, I checked again and there was 1 cancellation. I am SO glad we had the opportunity to try this place. It's small, so would be difficult for large parties. Our server was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The food was INCREDIBLE. Like close your eyes, and feel all the emotions while you're eating incredible. There was not a single dish I didn't enjoy. I would love to return and try the option where you get to try every antipasto, primo, and second on the menu for $122/person. Can't wait to come back to Seattle just for this!

Even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy during our visit, our server was extremely quiet and difficult to hear, which made communication a bit challenging. One nice touch was the complimentary bread service, which came with a generous amount of butter. We started with the artichokes from the seasonal menu. I was expecting them to be served warm or roasted, but they arrived cold, which was admittedly a misunderstanding on my part. The accompanying sauce was excellent though and definitely saved the dish for me. We also ordered the tajarin al ragù, one of the restaurant's signature dishes. Unfortunately, this was where my expectations and experience diverged. The pasta felt under-seasoned to me, and the noodles seemed overcooked. Rather than the silky texture I was hoping for, I found myself eating what felt like clumps of dough. It was a dish I really wanted to love given its reputation, but it just didn't click for me. We weren't looking for a heavy dinner, so we only ordered a couple of items. It's entirely possible we came on an off night or simply didn't choose the restaurant's strongest dishes. I'd be open to giving Cascina Spinasse another try in the future, but this visit left me feeling a bit underwhelmed compared to the hype.

    I'm visiting Seattle this week and I'm staying across the street near Barolo Ristorante. They close…read moreat 11, & I called an around 10pm and was very respectful about it ...I literally said, "I know it's late, please let me know if your kitchen is closed. I can just do takeout." I tried to order the fettuccine de mare, listed at $29 (no extra fees on Toast), but they told me it would be $43. That already didn't make sense. Then the server says, "We actually have 50% off happy hour until 11, come in and dine." So I came in. Ordered a drink, escargot, and a steak medium rare. The escargot came out fine. Then... nothing. 39 minutes later (at 10:45pm), the server asks if I'm waiting on anything else. Yes... my steak. She goes to check, disappears, and then comes back with something that honestly felt DISTESPECTFUL. The steak looked like scraps. Uneven, mismatched chunks, all different sizes, with burnt, crispy edges and covered in sauce like they were trying to hide it. It didn't look like a single cut of meat it looked like pieces from multiple steaks thrown together. The plating was sloppy, and the side looked like an afterthought. I didn't take a bite. I looked through it and said, "This looks like pieces from different steaks." She told me she watched them cut it... then immediately followed that by saying she saw them put it under a heat lamp to reheat. So which is it? I work in the food industry. I'm not going to be gaslit over a plate like that. She offered to refire it, but at that point it was almost 11 and they were closing. I paid for my drink and left. Honestly, I wouldn't have been upset if they had just told me the kitchen was closing when I called. But don't invite me in, forget my order, and then serve something like this and try to pass it off like it's normal. Just be honest.
