   We were Seattle for a meeting and staying close to Pike’s Market. The food and service were excellent. While the menu is limited, every dish was great. Several of us had the Cioppino which had a great selection of seafood. We will definitely return.

   Good for every occasion! The best ambiance, romantic, & historic with low lighting and great food! Antipasto plate only had one cheese but lots of different nibbles, short ribs amazing and pasta is always good! Service was pretty good, she didn’t know the wine list very well and disappeared on us but it was a busy Saturday night- host & bartender were great! Love the craft cocktail menu

    Everything was wonderful from the moment we stepped in. The atmosphere, the host, the staff, the food - oh my the FOOD! It was simply delicious. We had the sauteed prawns, chicken parmesan, and today's fresh fish (salmon). We were blown away and enjoyed every bite. We HIGHLY recommend trying this place out. Quick note, Google maps has a hard time finding it. It gets you to the corner, then you go down the street to the restaurant. It's so worth finding!

    Overall amazing place, vibe was great. Gina is a very accommodating server, she always made sure she checked in on us plus she's a Taurus.✨ One guy that kept giving us water could be friendlier but nonetheless filled our water everytime it was getting low purrr. Also hostess woman with glasses and boss heels, was welcoming. Purrr thanks for hosting our 1st Anniversary of my bf and I!

    Overall, amazing dinner at il Bistro with a perfectly executed Happy Hour Caesar Salad (perfect size for single diner) at $6 and Chicken Parm Dish for dinner with another leftover for lunch tomorrow as it was a gigantic portion. Came in for a 5:45 reservation; and was immediately seated by the host. Thereafter, the amazing bartender Julian immediately came over to offer water, dinner and drink recommendations while ensuring I wasn't rush as I brought a book. Julian made this meal exceptional with his Johnny on the Spot attitude and handcrafted cocktails made to match! Julian is truly a maestro behind the bar creating the perfect cocktail to match each course; and ensuring the right balance in each cocktail. I'd highly recommend il Bistro and Julian for a meal while in Seattle.

    Our waiter was so friendly and had an amazing knowledge of the wine list, which was very helpful for us. He knew just how to pair our wine with our food choice and had many great recommendations! After dinner we went to the bar and had a wonderful experience there as well! The bartender was likewise very knowledgeable and had the perfect suggestions for after dinner drinks! All staff was very friendly, with quick and efficient service. Chef is amazing as well.

    Excellent Italian food with great service. The sautéed calamari is unique and flavorful.

    IL BISTROResponded on June 28, 2022So glad you enjoyed your time here! Our sautéed calamari is pretty unique, not everyone’s favorite with the burgundy vinegar but it goes great our house made bread. And those that love it come back time and time again. We hope that’s you! Cheers.

    Reserved a table here for my girlfriends 30th birthday. Was seated in the back next to the noisiest couple talking about nonsense very loudly. Overheard other customers looking at us and making comments about us. Instead of making a big deal, we kindly requested to be moved. The waitress seemed annoyed that we had asked to be moved. Finally sat on the table. Ordered from the menu and got some drinks (Neighbor Lady and Captain Knuckles). The Captain Knuckles tasted like poison, and the Neighbor Lady tasted like someone put Garam Masala in a drink. Don't recommend. Ordered Calamari and it looked very unappetizing. I had the courage to try and make the best of it. My partner did not. It was different from how it was described on the menu and it didn't taste like anything. The waitress came back and asked me how I liked it. I was truthful and then she said to me, "Well, it says it on the menu." I'm shocked at what the server (Jackie) was saying. The Lasagna and Parma pollo were decent dishes and we were hungry at this point. We finished up but couldn't wait to get out of there quick enough. I would not recommend this place plain and simple.

    IL BISTROResponded on June 28, 2022Hi there, We hate for anyone to feel uncomfortable in our dining room and do our best to accommodate with options of where you would feel comfortable. Both cocktails are extremely spirit forward, the Captain having no added sugar. Your server would have loved to swap them out for something more within your palates if distaste had been expressed. Sautéed calamari is stated as such on the menu and isn’t for everyone. Next time we’d recommend swapping out for the arancini or even dessert!

    There was a hair in one of the salads. And when we talked to our server, he just dismissed it. Took half the salad off the tab, but did nothing to improve on it.

    Our server was Jackie and she was friendly and attentive, the other staff were very nice too. Drinks were great, get the milk punch it's excellent, but a little pricey. The food was a little different experience. Got the Arancini for an app, so good best part of the meal. I had the parmigiano chicken, it was over cooked, and it was covered in a tomato sauce that was super acidic, My friend had the pesto pasta, and it was bland and unimpressive. For the price I would only recommend a drink and an app while shopping the market, but not to take your friend to for her birthday.

    Bartender, Julian was very unfriendly. He made good drinks but he could have made the experience so much better. We were referred by a past employee and another friend, her experience was before CoVid. I’m sure it was a different bartender then and was probably a much better experience. Sadly, we probably won’t return or refer anyone to go there. Drinks were great but not worth the money when you don’t feel welcome.

    I wasn’t too hungry but I loved the pasta I got it so I decided to take it home. Later on that night I was excited to eat it and I open the box and they have given me the wrong food to go. It was just disappointing because it was a pretty expensive entrée which I hardly ate any of it at the restaurant so just felt like a waste of money.

    IL BISTROResponded on June 28, 2022We are so sorry this happened! There must have been a mix up, we’ll work on being more meticulous about labeling so this doesn’t happen again.

The atmosphere perfect for either a romantic or casual and fun evening. Nothing stuffy or pretentious about Il Bistro, just consistent great meals. My favorite restaurant for a visit to Seattle.

    The food tasted like it was reheated pasta from the grocery store. The server rolled his eyes at me when I asked for water with no ice. The tiramisu tasted like a cake and a day old. Probably the worst fake Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. If you want to go to an overpriced Olive Garden you should go here though I think Olive Garden would score higher in taste. The waiter after 10 minutes of eating wanted to clear our table. Not sure why people rate it so high.

    It was our last dinner in Seattle and the waiter was rude. Very impatient when ordering. Was not helpful, and seemed annoyed that I asked questions about drinks. We were the first and only customers at that time. Then when I ordered, I stated I had asked for pepperoni only on my pizza. He slapped his leg in aggravation stating that’s what I ordered. Then later my wife asks for a Diet Coke and he finally brought it 10 min later when we had already finished. We have had nothing but the best service while we have been here, until this one.
