    I went for a morning chai and this place was amazing!! The bread with tomato and cheese was really good, I order my chai and I really like it, it was not my favorite but it was really tasteful! The service was really nice and fast. And the place is absolutely cute 20/10

    Wow our valentines dinner was so amazing. The food is absolutely flavorful. Bury me please in this seafood ravioli special. I was literally licking my plate to make sure I got all the sauce. Cute little heart shaped complimentary breads for valentines too! Calamari was nice and light. Tiramisu was rich and hit the spot. Street parking was pretty easy, but it was quite crowded for Valentine's Day (rightfully so). Hostess and waiter were kind and did not rush us at all.

    Was wine tasting across the street with a friend at Molly's Bottle Shop and stopped in for dinner. We wanted something a little lighter than pasta since it was warm out so we shared a chop salad and pizza. Was the perfect meal. Luckily we both like the same type of pizza and selected the RUCOLA Fresh mozzarella, Prosciutto di Parma, arugula, shaved parmesan cheese. And had a couple of slices to left to bring home. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I appreciated they brought out an extra plate without being asked knowing we were sharing the salad and pizza. I think then one thing that really made an impression on me is they knew which card went back to who. I'm Japanese American my guess is our server took the time to glance at the name on cards and could tell which went to who. something small but made a lasting impression on me. Space is warm and welcoming very old school Italian feel with melting stick candles. One day I look forward to sitting in the tent out back.

    Picolinos feels like you're walking into Nonna's house and she is making her homemade gravy for Sunday dinner. It seems to be everyone's special spot for a big occasion. I'm pretty sure we were sitting next to a party of 10 that hadn't seen each other in years. We were just there for some fantastic Italian food, and we were not let down. Table bread is a lost art these days. It's very rare that you get it, and it's even more rare that it's homemade. I know it's not free per se, but it still makes me ridiculously happy. Especially at an Italian restaurant where it is IMPERATIVE to have a sauce shovel to accompany your meal. I scoop up sauce like a dog when it sees food on the ground. They actually had two different types of table bread here, one that was a nice fluffy sourdough-esque loaf, and then another that was a more focaccia-inspired thyme-infused pillowy table topper. Both were fantastic, the waiter understood the assignment here. I had a few dishes in mind that I couldn't decide between, but elected to completely change my path after asking the waiter what he recommended. The way that he spoke about the rigatoni with sausage (blanking on the actual name), altered my destiny for the better. I knew that this was the one to choose, especially since I didn't even mention the other dishes that I was deciding between. I'm always game for a red sauce with heavy cream. The food here is fantastic by Seattle Italian restaurant standards. Great wine selection, a tough selection between the excellent dishes, and the service is quick and attentive.

    Papparadelle with mushroom sauce.  Sooooo good!

    We had a great happy hour and I ordered the Pappardelle with mushroom sauce. It was so good. It's one of my favorites, but is on the specials list so it isn't always available. This restaurant has a great atmosphere and they decorate for each season. Overall, a great experience.

    Chose this restaurant for date night b/c of the Christmas decors. First time here and wow, it's so beautiful with the lights and cozy with the candles and table setup. Though, I did wish they put us in the main dining room. It seemed warmer inside with larger, sturdier tables. We got seated in the tented area (wasn't too cold, but it wasn't warm either). The seating arrangement was a bit too tight for the amount of food and drinks we've ordered. Pasta was delicious (fresh and well seasoned), that ragu is to die for! The pizza on the other hand....I'm not a huge fan b/c I've had better ‍. I wish it was thinner and crispy with that wood fired oven kind of outcome. Toppings were great, sauce was great, but that dough did not hit a home run for me. Would I come back? Yes, but if and only if they're able to seat me in the main dining room.

    We went here for an early dinner on a busy weekend and thankful we came in early. Our reservations was before 6pm. Service was great when the restaurant wasn't busy. It's quite a large restaurant with lots of tables and an eclectic Italian decor inside. We had a big group and our waiter was very nice. We were celebrating a birthday and we received a complimentary creme brulee for dessert. It was delicious! The food was good except for the pizzas. I recommend ordering the pasta dishes. Our chopped salad was good though I wish the portion was a little bigger. The pizza was larger than I expected which made it worth the price. The spicy pepperoni pizza was a bit disappointing though. The pizza was soggy in the middle and was just flopping down with the cheese and pepperonis sliding right off. The tagliatelle and pappardelle pasta dishes were better and our friends enjoyed them.

    We celebrating something. I have no idea what but we did.

    This place is an absolute gem. We have been there a couple of times and absolutely love their food.

    Good Italian spot in the city! We came for a friend's birthday and the staff was very accommodating for our large party. The portions were large and they even had a specials menu which I'd highly recommend ordering off of. I ordered one of their classic pasta dishes and was satisfied. For an appetizer we had the Calamari alla Diavola - a great calamari dish with a flavorful tomato sauce. We came on a rainy day and sat on the enclosed summer patio. I can see that spot being highly sought after especially on a nicer day in the spring. There was some live music playing and overall great vibes.

    We had a 3 course lunch here at a public opera event. We ate on the beautiful enclosed patio that was like a garden greenhouse. The food was delicious. I recommend the seafood lasagna.

    APPETIZERS: Weirdly enough I wanna say that their bread was the best part LOL - nothing really special about any particular dish, except for the fact that the Brussels sprouts were kinda over cooked and kinda mushy MAINS: Portion sizes are HUGE!! Literally fed me for four meals again, everything was good, but nothing was outstanding. The penne pomodoro was v salty though while the pumpkin risotto was kinda bland weird huh and the pizza was also not v good. The base was soggy, cheese was kinda coagulated and lacking and half the pizza was like nicely charred while the other side was like barely cooked DESSERT: Again with the nothing special comment!! The cannoli's were v pretty but the shell was kinda thick which made it like chewy and tough to get through. The tiramisu was pretty much 80% cream and 20% cake Super vibey place w live music, outdoor seating and fire pits, but food just didn't cut it IG:Spillingthe.beans

Looking forward to coming back here soon.

We were lucky enough to get a seat by the pier with a little bit of a wait, but not enough to ruin our dinner. The menu is simple but had quite of bit of options to please any taste bud. We ordered a couple of oysters to try and the BBQ prawns to start. The oysters had just enough tang to go along with the richness of the meat. Our waiter was peppy and thorough, explaining to us about the coveted copper river salmon that's only around for a few weeks in the summer. I definitely wanted to try that and have a go at their clam chowder. My boyfriend and I ended up sharing the entree of the copper river salmon as well as an order of the bbq prawns and a cup of the clam chowder. Aunt carol also got the prawns and the Hearts of Romain salad with blue cheese crumbles and blue cheese dressing. For our first meal in Seattle, and my first time at Chinook's, I'd say this restaurant hit it out of the ball park! The copper river salmon was fresh and felt as though it was a burst of flavor unlike any salmon I've had before. It was less buttery and more vibrant and I loved every bite. We each loved our meals and were happy we stopped here our first night. We were hoping to come back for lunch before we headed out, but alas, trips always end up too short in the end.

For our entrées we ordered the wild salmon burger, salmon and chips, and the classic Caesar salad.
