Amarone Ristorante and Bar offers a delightful dining experience with "outstanding service and food." Guests rave about the "best Chicken Parmigiana in Seattle" and "excellent risottos." The cozy atmosphere, enhanced by a fireplace, adds warmth. While some find the wine pricey, the consistent quality of dishes and welcoming staff make it a favorite for special occasions.

    The food was exquisite, the service was above and beyond, the ambience was elegant, but casual at the same time. We were very pleased with the entire experience.

    Hi Shawn, Thank you so much for the glowing 5-star review! It was truly a pleasure to have you join us. We are thrilled to hear that you found the food exquisite and the service above and beyond—our team works hard to create that perfect balance of an elegant yet casual atmosphere. We are so glad you chose to celebrate your anniversary with us! It was a delight to serve you our Rigatoni Gorgonzola and Pollo Parmigiano. Both are definitely guest favorites. Good choice on the Prosecco and the Flaming Bomba for the celebration: they really round out a special night! Thank you again for the recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back for many more celebrations in the future! Warmly, The Team at Amarone Ristorante and Bar

    Wow—if you’re craving fresh halibut, Amarone is the place to go! When it’s in season, like now in early April, make sure to order it before it sells out. The halibut was perfectly cooked and served over a bright lemon risotto, finished with a drizzle of balsamic and a fresh basil leaf for a beautiful touch. Every bite was bursting with flavor—and honestly, it’s one of those dishes you keep thinking about long after you leave. Great food, excellent service, and an all-around wonderful dining experience!
    Amarone Ristorante and BarResponded on April 7, 2026
    Hi Scott, thank you for the glowing review! We share your excitement—we can't wait for fresh halibut season every year so we can bring it to our guests. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the perfectly cooked halibut paired with our delicious risotto. We appreciate you highlighting us as a neighborhood gem in Issaquah and hope to see you back at Amarone soon!

    Food was excellent. Some of the best risotto we’ve had. Service was great, but felt a little slow towards the end. Restaurant was not particularly busy. It was a little chilly inside, but they were able to see us near a fireplace which was nice. 
    Amarone Ristorante and BarResponded on April 20, 2026
    Hi Eric, Thank you so much for dining with us and for sharing your feedback. We are thrilled to hear that our risotto stood out as some of the best you’ve had—it is a true encouragement for our kitchen team! We also appreciate your honest note regarding the temperature and the service pace toward the end of your evening. We’re glad we could get you settled near the fireplace to keep you cozy, and we will certainly use your comments to help us fine-tune our timing to ensure a seamless experience for all our guests. It was a pleasure hosting you here in the Issaquah Highlands, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Amarone Ristorante & Bar for another excellent Italian dinner very soon.

    Amarone Ristorante and BarResponded on March 26, 2026
    Dear Diane, Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that both of your meals were delicious and that you enjoyed the "energetic" atmosphere here at Amarone. It’s wonderful to know you were able to take advantage of our Wine Wednesday special! Our half-off bottles of wine every Wednesday are a favorite for our guests in the Issaquah Highlands, and we love providing that extra value to our local community. Our team takes great pride in delivering excellent service, and I’ll be sure to share your kind words with them. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Amarone Ristorante and Bar soon for another wonderful evening and another great bottle of wine! Warmly, The Management Team

    I was a bit disappointed with the value, especially when it came to the wine. The pour felt quite small for the price per glass. It would be great if the restaurant offered options like 6 oz and 9 oz pours so guests could choose based on their preference and budget. During happy hour, the total came out to about $63 per person for just two glasses of wine, a salad, and a large meatball, which felt quite expensive for what we received. While the food itself was enjoyable, the overall pricing—particularly for drinks—made the experience feel less worthwhile.
    Amarone Ristorante and BarResponded on March 26, 2026
    Dear Arni, Thank you for visiting us and for the kind words regarding our food! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the salad and our signature giant meatball. Regarding your feedback on the value of the wine, we appreciate your honesty. To clarify for your next visit, we offer a designated Happy Hour wine list featuring a Red, White, and Rosé for just $7 per glass. It sounds like you likely enjoyed some of our regular wine selections rather than those specific Happy Hour pours. While our premium options are priced higher, we would love for you to try our $7 Happy Hour specials on your next visit as an excellent alternative. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another great meal! Best regards, The Management Team

    Got in at opening and it was very quiet. Food was good but should probably have asked for a wine bottle as the cups I had felt old.
    Amarone Ristorante and BarResponded on March 19, 2026
    Hi Arnoldo, Thank you for visiting us at our opening and for the feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and our artisanal Italian food. We noticed you tagged us for creative cocktails and group dining—we love being a go-to destination in the Issaquah Highlands. Since you mentioned the wine, we’d love for you to explore our full bottle list next time! We offer a Tuesday for Two special that includes a bottle of wine with your meal, and every Wednesday we feature 50% off wine bottles under $100. It’s a perfect way to ensure every pour is fresh and exactly to your taste. We look forward to seeing you and your group back at the bar soon! Warmly, The Team at Amarone Ristorante and Bar

    Made reservations for 5:30 pm so seated right away. Everyone was courteous and attentive. Food appeared fast and was wonderful. Sat at table next to gas fireplace and since it was a rainy day the warmth was cozy.

    Hi Roland, Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled you enjoyed your visit to Amarone Ristorante and Bar.

We’re glad our team provided the attentive service we strive for our neighbors in and visitors to the Issaquah Highlands. It’s wonderful to hear that your meal arrived quickly and hit the spot. We look forward to welcoming you back to your favorite table next to the fire very soon! Warmly, The Team at Amarone Ristorante and Bar

Yes, Amarone offers private-party options and can accommodate larger groups.

Amarone serves dinner most evenings. According to the restaurant, dinner hours are Tuesday–Saturday from 4:00 pm–10:00 pm and Sunday from 4:00 pm–9:00 pm. If you’re planning a larger party or special seating request, the restaurant asks guests to call/text (425) 369-1181 or email admin@amaroneristorantebar.com to arrange accommodations.

The dress code is casual dress. Guests typically come in smart-casual attire for dinner, especially for date nights and celebrations. While the restaurant has an upscale, cozy feel, there’s no requirement for formal wear, comfortable, neat clothing is appropriate for dining here.

Yes, the restaurant encourages special requests. Guests report staff and management accommodating allergies, birthday arrangements, seating preferences (fireplace/window), and menu flexibility. For larger parties or specific needs, the owner asks you to call/text (425) 369-1181, use the website link, or email admin@amaroneristorantebar.com so the team can prepare and try to accommodate your requests.

For a quieter, more intimate dinner, go early in the evening or on a weekday, guests often report midweek and early seating as calm and promptly seated. If you prefer a livelier scene and bar specials, try happy hour at the round bar (daily 4–6 pm). Weekends and special nights (live singing or busy weekend evenings) can be busier, so book ahead for peak times or weekend date nights.

Amarone offers a mix of seating options: cozy dining tables (many with fireplace views), window seating, a full bar with a round bar area for happy hour, and space for private or larger parties. Guests frequently ask for fireplace or window tables and report that staff accommodate seating preferences when possible. For private events or larger groups, contact the restaurant by phone or email to arrange seating and details.

If you want a quieter, intimate experience, pick a weekday (Tuesday–Thursday) or an early Sunday evening, guests frequently describe midweek and early seatings as calm and promptly served. For a livelier vibe with bar specials and more crowds, weekends and Friday–Saturday evenings are the best choice, but call ahead to reserve weekend tables for popular seating like fireplace or window spots.

Amarone’s atmosphere is warm, cozy and casually elegant, many guests highlight the fireplace, tablecloths, and romantic vibes ideal for date nights and celebrations. The dining room is often described as quiet-to-moderate noise level, though some evenings feature live singing that can be loud. Overall, guests praise attentive staff, polished service, and a comfortable, upscale-neighborhood feel that suits special occasions and relaxed dinners alike.

Weekends and popular dinner hours tend to be the busiest, many guests book for date nights, celebrations and weekend evenings. Guests report the restaurant is often quieter midweek, at opening, and on some Sunday evenings. Live entertainment or special events can also make the dining room livelier. If you prefer a quieter meal, choose an early weeknight or a first seating.

Yes, at least some outdoor seating is available. A number of guests note seeing outdoor seating and mention it as an option. If you prefer outdoor dining or need a specific outdoor table, call ahead to confirm availability for your desired date and time.

Yes, families and children dine at Amarone, and guests commonly celebrate birthdays and family occasions there. The venue is described as a nice neighborhood spot where minors are allowed at tables, though it’s more of a casual-elegant adult-friendly restaurant rather than a kid-focused eatery (no mention of a children’s menu). For younger children, consider an early seating or ask about a more private table when you reserve.

Yes, Amarone is a popular choice for date night. Guests frequently praise the cozy, romantic ambiance (many tables near a gas fireplace), attentive service, and dishes that are well-suited for special evenings like anniversaries and birthdays. The restaurant’s Italian-focused menu, a thoughtful wine list and an intimate dining room make it a nice spot for a relaxed, romantic dinner. Consider requesting a fireplace or window table when you book to enhance the experience.

Portions at Amarone skew toward generous for mains and pastas, while starters and some salads can be smaller. Guests repeatedly mention large, satisfying pasta and entrée portions (lobster ravioli with full lobster tail, hearty risotto and large portions of pappardelle), though a few guests found some salads and certain starters smaller than expected. If you prefer larger starters or want to share, consider ordering an extra appetizer or splitting an entree.
