    I was really looking forward to trying Como, as I’ve heard really great reviews. Unfortunately, I was let down by a few things that ultimately led to this 3/5 star review. Let’s start with the good: 1. Very beautiful restaurant and view. 2. Cleanly And the bad: 1. The menu and drink options are incredibly basic and limited. The food wasn’t good. Food was like what I could make for myself at home. We actually had to ask for a side of salt as the food was incredibly bland. There are much better Italian restaurants in and around Seattle. 2. The wait staff act like it’s a burden you’re there. My waitress came over to take our order and literally was looking elsewhere the entire time. What could be more important in the 30 seconds it’ll take for me to share with you what we want to get. Just pay attention. We won’t be coming back as we can get better food and service for much less money.

    We felt so taken care of at Como by our server Luke. He was the perfect amount of warm and friendly, but also allowed us to enjoy our celebration of birthdays. We spotted a better table for our needs, and he graciously took us into his section. The food was amazing, the wine was perfect. We loved every minute!

    Lucky to have been there on a "slow night" due to overcast skies - still warm enough to sit on the patio. Lovely view. Great service. Had the burrata with melon, delicious. Boar ragu with pappardelle housemade pasta, which we saw being made right at the front of the restaurant! It was delicious as well.

    Great vibe, amazing service. The gnocchi dish was average, Wild Boar pappardelle was outstanding and the spaghetti clams with white sauce very simple yet amazing flavor. The best was the deserts. We ordered three and they were amazing. Tiramisu, Affogato, and the chocolate fondant. Amazing sunset to Lake Washington.

    Fried artichoke — very salty and the pepper sauce overwhelmed the artichoke. Dunged crab ravs were fishy— I sent them back. Husband’s espresso came in a full size coffee cup that looked like it was someone’s leftovers. Very noisy, hard to have a conversation. Service was slow. Go to Le Grand Bistro next door and get great food with the same view.

    Beautiful restaurant with not authentic food and service was just ok. We came early to have drink at bar and told to come back they didn’t have bar. Once we got seated we were acknowledged after 10 minutes and took another 20 minutes to get a drink. Food was good but large portions for primi and not super authentic. I would not go back unfortunately. Prefer more authentic

    I had expected a bit more from this place, given its location and hype. The hostess was not welcoming, kind of condescending. It took us two hours to get served two apps and our meals. The place was clearly understaffed. Our server was nice and knowledgeable, but seemed annoyed with some of our questions around food allergies. All in all, we just didn’t feel very welcomed and it wasn’t a relaxed atmosphere.

    The host is attitude isn’t great. She has an attitude of “I am better than you.” Drink is not great. Pizza is not Italian style. Pasta is great. Noise level is very high. We barely can have a conversation. Unless you are able to get an outdoor seat, I don’t recommend this place at all.

    It’s a cool place, and it’s not anyone’s fault who is working there, but they can’t get you seated for your reservation until almost 30 minutes after it began, and this was a Tuesday. It’s so packed and busy it doesn’t feel the way I think it was intended to. The food is great, but the experience gets tainted when you can’t get seated and the seat you requested weeks ago isn’t available and it feels chaotic. I’d return if it was less crowded and I could count on my reservation time.

    Como continues to shine as a wonderful restaurant with great service and beautiful views. It’s my go-to spot for a special night off or when entertaining out-of-town guests. Definitely try the Pappardelle with wild boar ragu and the burrata with melon!

    Great location and view. We really enjoyed our pasta entrees and the pistachio cake for dessert. The interior is nicely designed however the only complaint is it is incredibly loud when you dine inside. Difficult to have a conversation even with only two people. Something should be done to help the acoustics in the dining room. Despite the noise, would go back.

    A very dependable restaurant with good service and interesting menu items. Try the baked spinach. Very tasty. Salads are nice as well. However, they haven't changed the menu much since they first opened. Wines by the glass are a little disappointing. They need a better Sauvignon Blanc. They do have a nice Upchurch Cabernet Sauvignon that is nice. It's lovely to sit outside. Inside is quite noisy. Better have a reservation!

    Location is beautiful and pastas a delicious, however I was very disappointed with the front of house staff. I booked my reservation over a month before and I specifically requested a table at the window, telling them that we were celebrating a birthday and friends in town from the east coast. I put notes on the open table reservation and called the restaurant to request this. I was not told that this wasn’t something they couldn’t offer, but when we arrived for our reservation we were tucked in the back corner. Both the hostess and manager gave us attitude when we requested to move. If reserving a 4 top at the window wasn’t an option to be guarantee, the staff should have told me this when I called. I will question going back in the future.

    What a beautiful place! Go there for the view not the food. I ordered the gnocchi and it was gummy and burned, it smelled burned and it tasted burned. I can’t believe they served that. Our daughter’s spaghetti marinara had a sauce that tasted straight out of a can. I get it, the place is not kid friendly but an Italian restaurant should master a decent marinara sauce. My husband’s dish was the winner. He had the carbonara and that was good. Our server took our order, brought our drinks and appetizers but we never saw her again until she brought our check. Never checked on food taste so I didn’t get to tell her how bad the gnocchi was. Anyways, it’s a “fancy” gorgeous view type of place but not authentic and delicious Italian food.

    The food is always amazing. Love the gem lettuce salad and the crispy artichokes to start. The crab filled Pansotti was perfection. The serving staff were pleasant and helpful. Ambience is great for dinner with friends. Can’t beat the view. I do wish they could improve the acoustics inside but not a problem when sitting outside.

    Our server was Sophia and she was amazing. When we arrived we had reservations for inside, the weather was beautiful and there was no one outside yet and the hostess inquired if we would like to sit outside, of course we did. We had the perfect seat, in the shade. Sophia got our drink orders promptly, gave us time to review the menu, answered all of our questions. She took our orders and checked on us periodically until our food arrived. Food presentation was amazing and it was very flavorful. Ambiance was great, but as restaurant filled up the noise became louder and was a little bit hard to hear the people at your table, regardless it was a beautiful day. Will dine here again and hope that we are lucky enough to have Sophia as our server.

    We did not realize that this is a very trendy, loud, popular hang out. People are enjoying their tables and we’re not ready to leave to allow other customers to be seated on time. We had a 7 o’clock reservation. They finally seated us about 715. It was pretty chaotic in the entry area. We did have a nice table. But the ambience was extraordinarily loud. We thought our food was tasty: we had the octopus, clams, sockeye, salmon. I thought the pasta with the crab was unremarkable. You couldn’t even tell there was crab inside that pasta pillow. The Columbia river Chardonnay wine was tasty. Our friends ordered that spinach cheese thing, and they thought it was OK. He also ordered the lamb Ragu over gnocchi. He thought it wasn’t very good. It didn’t look good. The service person tried to rush us a long by ordering our entrée when we were still waiting for our appetizers. No particular reason to rush, especially since we didn’t know how the appetizers were going to turn out? And sum, , I would be in no hurry to return, even though I did like the appetizers snd the salmon.

    Our experience from the beginning was awkward and rather unwelcoming from the host team. We waited patiently arriving on-time, but within time to hear the unwelcoming exchange the man in front of us experienced from one of the hosts. When it was our turn to speak with the hosts, we received our own unwelcoming “how can I help you??”… my husband proceeded to say our name - and reservation time. We felt rather bad for the kitchen, and serving team as the AC was broken. However, we booked this months in advance, for our anniversary, on our actual anniversary night… as it’s a tradition of ours to have our dinner at one of our neighborhood restaurants, usually the beloved Cafe Juanita. Our server was so kind and welcoming to us. We got a couple non-alcoholic beverages and the Artichoke starter, all gluten free — all fantastic. We chose to get our dinner to go because the atmosphere wasn’t very romantic; as well as the vibe was off from the start. Mind you, this is prime time — 98 degrees outside / hotter inside — on a Tuesday at 7 pm. Our kind server offered us a scoop of Pistachio gelato as we waited for our meals. Dinner at home was wonderful; I choose the Crab Risotto, my husband opted for the Gnocchi.

    Wrong restaurant to choose on a hot bright evening. Noise level off the charts. 95 degree day, windows closed no seating on patio due to heat. AC finally kicked in. No acoustical tiles. Simply a hot white mess.
