The food was amazing but the service was not. It was not my first time there but it was for the person that I was with. I would like to mention that I had the spaghetti carbonara and he had seafood fettuccine and both were amazing. I had a delicious gin drink that was amazing. I had two of them and he had an old-fashioned that he said was subpar. Overall, the waiter was not very friendly, not attentive, not very helpful and almost aggressive at certain times. Needless to say, neither of us will be back.

Tasty bolognese, mushroom ravioli had good texture and appearance but lacked flavor. Charcuterie platter was excellent as was the lamb carpaccio.

The homemade pasta was way too overcooked and the sauce tasted as the Prego jarred tomato sauce. Our starters were lovely although our drinks appeared after they were being served. The service was friendly too but unfortunately the food was well below par.

Mixed reviews…GrilledCaesar was fantastic. Lobster way overcooked. Gnocchi and Carbonara were good. Waitstaff poured flat water into our sparkling water. Surprised by an extra3% fee. Not worth the expense overall.

Joy was a great server, she made some good recommendations for both food and drinks and had a big smile the whole time we were there! Food was great, Joy recommended the truffle and sausage gnocchi when I was on the fence between two meals and it was fantastic, my girlfriend loved her rigatoni bolognese too. Great service, awesome food, we don’t get to go on date nights downtown often but Barolo is always in consideration when we can!

Although the food was good I was a little disappointed in this place. They have chosen to charge and additional fee of 3.5 % to each bill to keep the restaurant in decent shape if i am understanding it correctly. But even if that is not the reason it didn't sit well with me or the rest of our table. There are hundreds of restaurants in Seattle and to my knowledge none of them add on this fee. Other than that it was good, but not outstanding.

It's been years since I had dinner at Barolo, and it took me only 5 minutes to remember why. Service! It was bad last time I was at this establishment, and nothing changed. The food is still delicious.
