   Wanted to sit on the patio, ended up on the parking strip. Food was good, but pricey. Had Delille D2, $72 a bottle, had the same bottle in Mill Creek for $42.

   The restaurant was exceptionally accommodating, as our party increased and they were still able to get us in on time. Our wait staff was helpful, with great recommendations. The food was EXQUISITE.

   Small but very adequate menu with plenty of choices. Parpadelle bognese was excellent with a generous amount of sauce. The seafood risotta was very tasty. Ambiance is pleasant. Service is attentive

   Perfect as always. The Pici is magnificent, the ribeye to die for. Service is spot on…especially cocktails from the bar. Need I say more?

   Service was good. Food was good as well but overpriced for what you are getting. Menu offered didn’t have variety. There are other Italian restaurants in town that are way cheaper with a great selection of dishes and delicious food. I still haven’t found a restaurant that serves authentic Italian food. I’m Italian and I’m desperately looking for an authentic Italian restaurant, that serves good risotto, real pizza! Overall my experience was good, but I don’t think this restaurant would be my first pick when wanting to get Italian food.

    Unbelievable food, cocktails and atmosphere. We started dinner with cocktails and appetizers. I had their twist on a gimlet per the waitresses recommendation and it did not disappoint, refreshing lime and mint were perfect for patio dining. My husband had the boulevardier which was delicious as well and would have paired well with some of the heavier dishes on the menu. For appetizers we had prosciutto and melon and burrata. Generous portions on the apps and both were flavorful! The burrata was better imo without the toast, they served it with tomatoes and peaches which is different and delightful. For dinner I had the carbonara and my husband had the gnocchi (again recommended by the waitress). The gnocchi was tremendous, so flavorful and surprisingly light for gnocchi. For the carbonara the flavor of pork cheek and spring snap peas filled the dish, it was so rich I couldn’t eat it all but wow the flavor! Every bite was delightful. We paired dinner with a bottle of gavi (another waitress recommendation) and it was clean crisp and refreshing, lighter than a Chardonnay but not quite a Sav Blanc and very well priced. I was impressed that the waitress recommended the cheapest bottle on the menu as my experience has always been, they traditionally go middle to high just to ensure the final bill results in a greater tip. Side note: we were dining alone but I was impressed at how accommodating the restaurant was to small children. Several tables had kids under 5. The waitress politely accommodated the young boy next to us bringing bread and dinner to him before serving the parents so that everyone had a lovely experience. All in all a great experience and I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for good Italian food in the Bellevue area.

    I have booked a table to celebrate with my husband our anniversary. The table was booked for 8:00 pm . We have sat down at 8:30. The waitress was rude and didn't acknowledge us for 15 min. At 8:45 pm we were final able to order. During the whole dinner the waitress was no where to be found. The waitress seems that she doesn't care much about us.The food was decent nothing special, nothing that it is worth to go back. Overall experience was for unpleasant and disappointing place. 😞

    The meal was off—the carbonara sauce was closer to gravy than carbonara. The burrata appetizer would have been better with some sea salt, it was a bit bland. Also, they charged $5 for iced tea and they charge for refills. $5 for an iced tea that is mostly ice is a little outrageous, especially if you charge for each glass. We only found out that they charged for refills when we were given the bill at the end too…

    Restaurant is VERY loud. Food is good but not AMAZING. Server was the requisite polite, but not friendly and seemingly disinterested in being there. Bus persons and host were very friendly. I had heard rave reviews and left disappointed. Experience was not worth the high price tag associated.

    Worst service ever! Unpleasant server who never once smiled and acted as if we were there to bother her (table of 5). Then charged us for 3 bottles of wine when we only ordered two. When we pointed it out, she said, oh I thought that was a mistake. Then why did she present the bill to us? Hoping to get away with it??? It was my husband’s birthday and we were with family so we didn’t make too big of deal but WE WILL NEVER GO BACK!! So disappointing as the food was actually pretty good. Manager….are you listening???

    High quality food even though the menu is a bit limited. Very attentive wait staff. It was a bit noisy but that's because we were seated near the entrance. I recommend sitting elsewhere. But there was a nice ambiance to the environment. This was my second visit and I will be back!

    Waited rather long at the front door for someone to help us to the table. Service from staff was generally pleasant. Food was all right. I did enjoy my fish but admittedly a little pricey. For the same price at an equally if not more upscale restaurant, it would have come with vegetables and potatoes.

    Made reservations for a special birthday dinner, we were seated directed next to the kitchen/food drop off area which was loud and a little chaotic. Also, the menu was not what was available online (online included multiple meat options like fish and steak). We were only able to choose between various pastas - the pastas were DELICIOUS, but we were expecting to order fish and steak from the normal menu. Had to remind the server that this was a special birthday dinner before any acknowledgement. Not a huge deal but when making the reservation we were asked to note if it was a special occasion with a drop down menu of various options. Why have someone select this if the staff doesn’t do anything with this information? Other than the bad seating and missing main course, the food we did order was amazing and the service was great - we will return on a non-special occasion next time.

    My friend and I went to Cantinetta for a small birthday dinner and we had a reservation at 8:30. Unfortunately we had to wait till 9:10pm till we even got a table. Nevertheless, our experience was amazing though! We ordered the burrata, extra bread (which I believe had some garlic seasoning and some balsamic vinegar + olive oil on the side), carbonara, bolognese, and the zeppole as our dessert. The total surprising only came to be $79.80, which was a really good deal for the amount of food we got. Each portion size is a bit small, but all together was quite a lot. Needless to say, the service was amazing except the fact we had to wait outside for a bit. Some of the reviews said something about how the younger blonde waitress was “clueless”, but based on my experience she was one of the best waitresses I’ve ever met! She was very optimistic and nice and checked up on us with our food! There were also 3-4 other servers who served and took additional orders from us and they were all very nice as well! The environment is quite busy and loud, but I especially like that about this restaurant cause it feels like home. Definitely would recommend!
