Fantastic food and service!
My cocktail, greyhound was delicious!
It was very warm in the restaurant .

The service was perfect-- attentive but not too much. We appreciated the constant water fill-ups as we are a thirsty bunch. The ambiance was perfect-- warm, airy, and inviting. The food was excellent!!! We have missed frequenting this neighborhood eatery since the closure due to the pandemic. We live about 5 blocks away and will certainly be back often now that we feel safer eating out again. Keep up the quality service and food, plus the friendly and welcoming atmosphere!

Our first time visit. Wonderful food and service. Great old wooden floors. We'll be back.

Delicious halibut; steak you could land a plane on; pork belly! My kids took me out for dad’s day and Cantinetta was a treat. Busy place with a cool Wallingford vibe. Food quality and presentation were great. My wife was a little disappointed with # of selections for entrees but did not bother me. Assumed quality over quantity and the dishes proved my point. Son who is a gnocchi lover thought that Cantinetta’s were some of the best ever.

The Pici and the Gnocchi are really good. They have a nice waiting area outside where you can order drinks.

Superb Italian cuisine served to perfection in a charming, local haunt. Fresh focaccia, impressive bar mixologist, and very attractive decor. Loved the pork belly appetizer and carbonara. Make reservations or be sad.

Very bad acoustics. Can hardly hear your table partners. Service slow. Carrots for starters very under cooked and only a touch above raw. Prosciouto dish was delicious. Was told no veal in a certain dish, as allergic to veal and it did indeed have veal. I was sick. I think they think since veal is beef that it was okay to say no veal and only beef and pork.

I love Cantinetta, food snd service is fabulous. Noise level is awful and takes away from the fun and enjoyment, it a
Seems to be worse each time i go.

We've been happy customers since the beginning, and we're really happy to go there again, first indoor dining since what seemed like forever, yay! The fried baby artichokes were incredible.

Every item on the menu is interesting - all were delicious, well prepared, well presented. The servers were kind and engaging. Great meal!

Everything was excellent, ambience was wonderful!

The food was awesome and I love the ambiance - however, the music was loud and people were forced to talk over it which made it even louder. Because they were so busy, we felt rushed since the waiters and waitresses were running around like crazy, refilling waters and picking up used dishes constantly. So inadvertently it made us feel like we had to rush thru our meal, but it wasn’t a deal breaker - we still took our time. We will go back again. Parking is hard to find so arrive early.

Great little hidden gem! I love he location, in that it’s in a nice quiet neighborhood, making it more of a “locals” spot. The service was great, and the food was fantastic!!

Perfect for date night! ✨

Absolutely amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. We will be back!

The food was amazing. The service was great. The food came out in a timely fashion and we never felt rushed and could take our time ordering and enjoying our courses. Reasonably priced for the quality of food. Will definitely be returning.

Great food and ambiance. Service was exceptional.

Really good food. We had the very delicate ricotta ravioli with pears. Also the
tiramisu was beautiful and some of the best ever.

Food was superb! Service a bit sketchy but it was very, very busy (great that you're doing well - so pleased about that).
Only complaints are the hard, flat seats on chairs and high noise level - probably designed that way to move folks along and not stay too, too long

Delicious food-lovely appetizers, hearty mains and the Tiramisu was wonderful. Staff was warm and knowledgeable, outside seating was warm and cozy and the wine was perfect. Will definitely dine again.

Thank you for accomadating our family for a nice time and dinner.

So good! We’re vegetarian and loved how many options there were. We shared the buratta, fried artichokes, butter lettuce, roasted carrots, gnocchi, and tiramisu (we were very full at the end). Everything was spot on. Our faves were the carrots and the gnocchi. Our server was friendly and made great recommendations. All the staff we interacted with were great. Can’t wait to come back!

Very nice outdoor area with fire pits, shade, and cute tables

Cantinetta is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. There is no downside. Great food, wonderful staff, and always consistent.

I LOVE Italian food, and hence always expect the best when I decide to splurge my weeks worth of calories on some pasta dishes. Our dinner at Cantinetta was hit/miss, but unfortunately isn’t somewhere I’d return to if given an Italian ultimatum. As a local neighbourhood option, I think it’s a little more attractive. Overall a 3-3.5 out of 5 for us.

Food: We tried a bunch. Manila Clams (second favourite of the night), Focaccia (very dense and cakey, which isn’t our favourite), Cavatelli (rich and well flavoured; pasta was decent), Ricotta Ravioli (let down; smaller ravioli so mostly pasta with little filling), Halibut (delicious; clear winner!).

You literally can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but their pasta dishes are my favorite. We tried the burrata on our most recent visit, and it was phenomenal. Their house focaccia bread is also always worth it.

Ryan and the waitstaff were fantastic! The food was top notch, as were the drinks. Shoutout to the chef for the Gnocchi, the smokey sear on it was the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this restaurant for delicious food, drinks, and ambiance!

Great place for a fun little date night in the city. Food and ambience was great, but even better service!

It’s an Italian flavor journey for foodies. Very cool spot and feels intimate.

Keep it up Cantinetta! What a lovely place! Be back for more!

The original Cantinetta is our favorite place in Seattle. We have such a great experience every time and we haven’t had a dish we haven’t loved. The food is always fresh and delicious and the atmosphere is that chic, understated elegance that is becoming harder and harder to find. If you know of Il Buco in New York (also a favorite), this is the Pacific Northwest’s version. It’s the Italian restaurant done perfectly. The waitstaff are always extremely accommodating and even saved our special spot for us as I was surprising my boyfriend for his Birthday. Will be back again and again. Thank you, once again, for an amazing night!

Our Mother's Day dinner was excellent. We had many items on the menu and shared all of them!! We sat outside and it was wonderful on a beautiful day with family.
I would recommend Cantinetta to everyone.
Enjoy.....p.s. The cocktails are great as well.

Just in case anyone is concerned if Cantinetta is as good as it was pre-Covid.....it’s as good for sure! We celebrated Mother’s Day plus being fully vaccinated and had a great dinner!

I have been going to Cantinetta for years now. The food, service and Ambience has always been outstanding. However I rated it lower this time around due to several things. It was crowded inside for dining during Covid. I was uncomfortable at how many people were inside. Not only that but it was so busy, the waitress really couldn't give us proper attention. And the few times I have been there, there has been no music or I barely noticed it. Was fine that way. The music on Saturday night was loud and WAY to raucous and upsetting. I felt like I was in a pick up bar for 20 year olds. Not great for fine dining.
The food was outstanding though and I had a good time with my girls.

Overall it’s a nice corner to have dinner. Service is excellent. There are nice people around.

Burrata is a must have. The restaurant has its own creativity in this common Italian appetizer. Burrata paired with the sauerkraut very well!

We ordered two pasta - Gnocchi and Risotto. Overall it’s good but not many sides and no meat at all. I would suggest to add more veggies, mushrooms or some meat which will make them much better!

Love here go here often but last time the food was just too salty. Also even though it was a small crowd, music very loud, unpleasant. Still love the place though

My favorite neighborhood spot. Cozy and local, but also destination worthy food. Great service.

Great food. And very nice ambiance. Love the outdoor area.

Went to SRW, the pasta was just average for me, and I got sick a couple hours after the meal. Will not be returning.

Excellent attention throughout it our visit; friendly staff; gorgeous plating, delicious food.
