BaroloExcellent except for noiseI found Barolo when I needed a special restaurant in a town where I am a stranger, with food everyone likes (Italian). Everything was super, except the noise. Even if our little corner, with the overhead speaker turned off by the waitstaff, the noise level was too loud for detailed conversation. For us, it was especially acute as we were dining with my 85 year old mother, who wears a hearing aid and my nephews. Food was awesome and the service was the perfect combination of solicitous, informative, and unobtrusive. I would definitely recommend Barolo, but not for elderly who have hearing aids.6/13/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent on all FrontsBarolo was excellent as always. The food was fantastic, every bite worth savoring. And newer menu items (and great specials) make it hard to choose what to order! Of course, the cocktails and wine are also great. Barolo is great for a date or a group of friends. The service and food will not disappoint.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGood except for crummy tableWe had an excellent overall experience at Barolo except for our table placement...a small 2 person table located in a main pathway for diners and servers. It was actually the second choice we were offered, the first choice being even worse. Everything else was laudatory, most especially our server Amber, who was a delight.6/6/2013 12:00:00 AMBarolo and Grappa warmsVery attractive modern Italian restaurant with a great wine list.
Always a pleasure to dine here. Everyone was very nice. I also try to stop in at least 1 time while in town to get a late night grappa.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat find!Staff was friendly and on point, waitress made great suggestions very attentive.

We ordered about 6 different dishes plus dessert. You have to try the veal and vanilla ice cream with olive oil!! All of our dishes were delicious! We had no complains at all. This is definitely a good italian restaurant to try when you're in Seattle~!!5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial nightFood was excellent, wine a bit pricey, service was good. The only thing I didn't like was that techno "music". It destroyed what could have been a more romantic evening. That might be enough to keep me away.5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat can I say?! The absoluteWhat can I say?! The absolute best food and the service was amazing. A MUST eat-at place! The lamb rigatoni was amazing! Our new favorite restaurant in Seattle! (If you're from Vancouver and wondering what this compares to? This place is similar to CinCin's in food style but way more modern in atmosphere. A perfect match!)5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMMothers DayOur first time at Barolo. Food was authentic and tasty. Our server was perfect.

The four dishes selected by our party were all excellent and well portioned. The wait staff was attentive and well mannered, but not overbearing or intruding on us overly either. In all it was a comfortable place for a good dinner with friends on a Sunday evening.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food; intimate setting;Great food; intimate setting; good for special occasions, friendly staff!4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was above average.The food was above average. The halibut had a bit of a fishy taste to it...which is a no-no in the northwest. The pheasant gnocchi was the best item between the 6 of us.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMExceptional food & wine. OurExceptional food & wine. Our server was the epitome of professional: always there when we needed her, but never "hovering". This was my second time dining at Barolo, and both experiences were stellar. They occupy the space they have quite well; from a business perspective they would be even busier if the bar was larger!4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday Barolo - good choiceWe had a great birthday dinner during restaurant week. Our server was wonderful, food yummy and atmosphere a hit. The menu was specially printed with Happy Birthday - a small effort but very welcome. The regular menu was very tempting and the prices seemed do-able. We'll go back. The zabaglione was the reason we chose Barolo - it is a favorite and hard to come by.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMA pretty restaurant, greatA pretty restaurant, great food, great service, and the waiter we had was awesome plus funny. Fancy portions of food we order was delicious and I sure will be back to enjoy a day meal or night:)4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went for restaurant week.We went for restaurant week. Our server was very gracious and accommodating of special requests. The food was magnificent. So much so that we decided to veer off the preselected menu and order off the main menu (which was a victory for both Barolo and ourselves. The seared tuna, the calamari and the beef carpaccio just made you need to sit back for a minute after you put them into your mouth and contemplate on all the flavors and texture going on in your mouth.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMStill, one of the best restaurantsStill, one of the best restaurants in Seattle.

It was fantastic! $15 USD for calamari, gnocchi and chocolate mousse! Very good food. Great ingredients, taste and presentation! I plan to go there again and pay full price - for a special occasion of course.4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time at Borolo and IFirst time at Borolo and I would go again. Not the best Seattle Italian but near the top. Small bur excellent wine list. The dining room is long and narrow the puts you up against others and the wait staff has to carefully navigate the aisles. When full Borolo could get noisy the bar was full for happy hour. Overall our dining experience was a good one.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was by far one of myThis was by far one of my favorite dining experiences. I made reservations and included that this was for a friends birthday. Upon arriving to the restaurant I had to change my reservations, the staff understood and graciously accomendated my request. Once we got there I was pleasantly surprised by the setting, very upscale and romatic and cozy. Our waiter was excellent and very attentive. To celebrate the birthday the restaurant gave us menus that actually had "happy birthday" typed at the top. Such a nice gesture. All though the seating was close, I never felt like anyone was too close to intrude on our conversation. The lights were dim and we had a wonderful meal by candlelight.
