Cinque Terre Ristorante -Food CA (Near Seattle)

5 /5 Elle Vergara: One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Seattle. Our server’s name was Leo (hope I’m spelling that right) and he was phenomenal. I came in with my whole family and service was quick and friendly. The food was AMAZING!! We ordered everything. Drinks, appetizers, mains and dessert and they were all great. As a Seattle Foodie I’d definitely recommend this place, portion sizes are amazing as well as the quality of their food and service. 100/10. Thanks Leo for letting my mom practice Italian with you!!

3 /5 Ismael D: We stopped by this restaurant on our last day in Seattle, and it turned out to be a really nice choice. The place felt warm and welcoming as soon as we walked in, good vibes all around, perfect for enjoying a relaxed dinner before heading home. Service started off well. Our server greeted us quickly and was friendly, and we didn’t have to wait long for the food, which was great. I went with the lasagna, and it was delicious authentic Italian flavor. The salmon was also tasty, and I liked that they had a solid selection of European and Latin American wines to pair with dinner. Dessert, though, was a bit of a letdown. The menu wasn’t explained clearly, so we just ordered two scoops of gelato. For the price, it felt too simple, and the presentation wasn’t what we expected. On top of that, once we finished eating, we felt like we were being rushed out a little, which made things less comfortable. All that said, the atmosphere was still very nice, and I’d call it a good spot for dinner in Seattle. Customer service just needs a little more attention to match the quality of the place. Parking isn’t a problem there are plenty of paid lots and garages close by. One last thing to note: they add a 3.5% fee to the bill. The explanation on the check wasn’t super clear, but if it helps keep the restaurant running and supports better service, I don’t mind contributing.

5 /5 Joseph Tegerdine: I didn’t realize walking in that this was a farm to table restaurant. Very pleasant surprise. The food was excellent, fresh and distinct flavors. The server was very friendly and helpful, but seemed a bit overwhelmed. I had the charcuterie board (chef’s appetizer mix). Delicious variety. The blue cheese was wonderfully creamy. My main was a wild boar pasta. You can tell the pasta is made in house, so great!!!

5 /5 Lola Gutiérrez: We had dinner here to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is perfect for a slightly upscale dinner or any special occasion. We arrived around 7:30 PM, and although we didn’t need a reservation, I’d recommend making one just in case. We started with a glass of wine (prices are a bit on the higher side) served with warm bread and homemade pesto — such a nice touch. For our appetizer, we ordered oysters, and they were exceptionally fresh! We’re used to good seafood, but these really stood out. My husband ordered the Prosciutto Pizza, and I had the Calamarata al Pesce pasta. I didn’t try the pizza myself, but my husband said the dough was amazing and loaded with toppings. My pasta was clearly homemade — you can taste the difference — and it came packed with seafood, especially the mussels, which were outstanding. It was one of those dishes where you want extra bread just to soak up every drop of that incredible sauce. To finish, the staff kindly brought us a tiramisu on the house — perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and without that overly bitter coffee taste you sometimes get. Truly exceptional (and I say that as someone who’s lived in Italy!). The bathrooms were spotless, and I loved that you can see the kitchen from the dining area. Overall: excellent atmosphere, top-quality food, and genuinely warm service. Highly recommended for a romantic or special evening out.
