    Rimini offered a fabulous dining experience from start to finish with authentic Italian food and atmosphere. The bar is very small but delightful and I enjoyed a cocktail while waiting for the rest of my party. Every team member was friendly, helpful and sincere. We enjoyed the calamari app which was generous enough for 5 persons. The entrees were excellent and we loved the halibut with cheese risotto and the pappardelle wild boar bolognese, as well as two other pasta dishes. Tony's guitar serenade topped off our evening with charm. I look forward to next visit and trying other dishes. Highly recommend. It was not difficult to find parking within a block or two's walk.

Whether you go for a romantic date night or a fun evening out with friends, this place seamlessly caters to all. Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—-their pasta flight. You know a dish is something special when it’s on nearly every table, and after one bite, it’s easy to see why. It’s clear this dish is their pride and joy, and it truly deserves all the attention it gets. Simply put, coming from Los Angeles where great restaurants are in abundance, this restaurant is a must-visit. Come for the incredible main dish that’s the talk of every table, stay for the exceptional service from Elija, and soak in the dynamic atmosphere. Next time we are back in Seattle this will for sure be a stop brining more friends & family along with us.
