- KKaraSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 27, 2025We made a reservation for 9 family members to dine at Il Nido on Open Table. Following the reservation, staff called to confirm and was very friendly. We all felt welcome when we arrived. The food was delicious, very authentic to Italy where we all had vacationed together 2 years prior. Timing of the meal was perfect, and the professionalism of staff was appreciated. We really enjoyed chatting with Christian, the manager, for a bit. Il Nido is such a great find! We will be back.More infoIl Nido Italian RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.8
