We visited on a Friday evening, for dinner, with a party of four and it was a very nice experience…read more We had a reservation and were seated right away, the place was almost full. The waiter came by and took orders. We started with the Spicy Shrimp Tower, a Caesar Salad, and a Sage Salad. We then went with Filet Mignon, Wild Salmon, Wife's Favorite Pasta, and Pork Saltimbocca. All the food was well prepared, presented and excellent. We ended with ice cream and cheesecake, which were very tasty. The service was great, the waiter was prompt, friendly, and professional. Overall, an excellent spot for fine Italian dining.

Due Cucina - Redmond…read more We really enjoyed everything we ordered here. Burrata Tricolore -- The salad was a standout. The balsamic dressing, pine nuts, and fresh greens were already delicious, and the burrata tied it all together with that perfect creamy finish. I could honestly eat this every day Eggplant Parmigiana -- Flavorful, satisfying, and refreshingly reasonable in portion size. Unlike some places that serve a mountain of bland eggplant, this one delivered on taste without overwhelming you. Carbonara -- Creamy, cheesy, and simply delicious. Pesto Pasta with Burrata -- Another favorite. The pesto had great flavor without that overly strong basil punch some places have. Adding burrata made it even better. Cheese Ravioli with Sage Butter -- Soft ravioli with a nicely filled center, paired with a sage butter sauce that was subtle rather than overpowering. Too much sage can ruin a dish for me, so this balance was perfect. A quick heads-up: this isn't a full-service restaurant. You order at the kiosk/front counter, grab your own utensils, napkins, and water, pick up your food when it's ready, and bus your own table afterward. We didn't mind the self-service setup at all--the food more than made up for it. We'll definitely be back

Wanted a lot of their meat/ seafood items from dinner menu, but when we came, only lunch was available. Very limited menu. The pasta from chicken parmigiana was good. Calamari was a little salty.

New menu tonight, first the Panzela (most likely mispelled this) was delicious, a medley of vegs and croutons in a pesto was great and probably the best of the night honestly. 4.5 Stars. The chicken smelled, and looked great, but was just too chicken "breasty" if you know what I mean. Just a bit bland and plain, needed a bit more salt. The skin was well cooked and you do need to wait just a tad longer for the prep on this. It is a solid dish but nothing special. Could I eat it multiple times, probably, great protein. 3.5 Stars. King Salmon and the prep around it was very nicely done. Fresh, healthy, clean, buttttttt overcooked. Asked for medium rare plus and the moment I saw the char I knew it would be overcooked. While still good, it just had too much orange if you know what I mean and not enough delicate touch to it. If done right, definitely could see myself ordering this often. But it was disappointing to have my salmon overcooked. 3.5 Stars. I think this is a very quaint, nice ambiance, neighborhood restaurant. Not a destination restaurant though. Sorry. The service and the potential however makes it promising.

It felt like I was part of one big family while I was dying here from the quality of the food, to the generous portions, and don't even get me started on the live music. We did group songs with the entire restaurant, every table got individually serenaded once, and I even got the happy birthday song too! The pasta is delicious and there is so much of it. The appetizer was hearty too and the servers took great care of us. It felt romantic with my boyfriend but somehow even more romantic with everyone who was thrilled to be there working the dinner service. Their family is wonderful and it feels like you leave with many friends. I will be back! Thank you for the chocolate on the way out as well!

I really dig this place - been a handful of times, both the NA and boozy cocktails are well done…read more Bar staff is knowledgable with a very well equipped bar - on a recent visit my wife didn't see anything that caught her mood and they happily made something else for her. Food has always been good, from apps to mains. I don't think I've had a burger here, yet...most recently I had the fried chicken, which had been well marinated and cooked - juicy, flavorful, plentiful. Vibe is always chill, here. Now that the weather's warming up, outdoor seating is available. I usually make a reservation, but my sense is for a couple one could almost always walk in without a rez and get seated quickly. One of my favorite east-side places...if it was a little closer to me I'd be there all the time!

I wasn't feeling like a big entree but I put together a fun little meal out of their falafel bites and tomato soup- both were really good. I appreciated that the service folks made sure I got some extra toasted bread with my soup. A coworker got the buttermilk fried chicken and it was an impressive serving. Also loved the extensive selection of whiskey, cocktails, and non alcoholic cocktails. Non alcoholic options really allow anyone to relax with a drink. But not me I had woodinville rye whiskey because it's a local fav. OH! They sell hotdogs here and that's awesome cause it's hard to find a good hotdog place- and these hotdogs are made of freakin waygu beef.

Their outdoor patio is absolutely stunning when the weather's nice, full of natural light and lovely views of the park greenery. I highly recommend booking a reservation ahead of time; it fills up super fast especially on weekends and nice sunny days. We started with the burrata appetizer topped with delicate edible flowers, crushed pistachios and a light drizzle of honey. The creamy soft burrata balanced perfectly with nutty pistachios and subtle sweet honey--such a fresh, elegant starter, 10/10 must-order. Every pasta dish we tried was outstanding, cooked al dente with rich, well-balanced sauces. * Crab risotto: Loaded with tender crab meat mixed evenly throughout every grain of creamy risotto, no skimping on seafood here. Rich, savory and incredibly satisfying. * Daily special seafood black squid ink spaghetti: Absolute standout of the night! The briny fresh fish paired wonderfully with the bold squid ink pasta, deep umami flavors that didn't taste fishy at all.

Carmine's in Bellevue is a great spot for a nice Italian dinner. We tried the Ravioli de Capriolo,…read moreand I absolutely loved the earthy mushroom flavor--it was rich, comforting, and full of depth. The Squid Ink Tonnarelli Di Mare was outstanding as well. Squid ink pasta is always my go-to when I see it on a menu, and this version was perfectly balanced, fresh, and packed with seafood flavor. One thing I really appreciated was the convenient parking in the same building. The garage can be accessed from the back, and the restaurant validates parking for up to 4 hours. Just make sure to scan when you enter the restaurant. As a nice touch, they also give you a small welcome box of biscuits, which were absolutely delicious! The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. My only criticism is that the service felt a bit rushed. Our server was friendly, but seemed eager to take our order quickly, likely because they were juggling several tables. It wasn't a major issue, but we would have appreciated a little more time to settle in, enjoy the atmosphere, and browse the menu before ordering. Overall, the food was excellent and definitely worth coming back for--especially that squid ink pasta.
