    It was our first time at Rimini but definitely will not be the last. The food was delicious and abundant portions; service was fabulous and an added touch of live performer who sang classic Italian songs. The atmosphere was lively and energetic.

    This restaurant is fabulous! We were greeted by owner, Ferdinando Nardone, who stopped by several times to ensure we liked the food & service. Both were fantastic. Wine list was great - I recommend the Super Tuscan from the Nardone family vineyard. We had the calamari as a starter; it was great. Main course was beyond great: Malfaldine Cacio e Pepe Truffle, prepared in a large cheese wheel table side. Portions are generous, quality superb, & service friendly. Only downside is the restaurant was noisy. We are definitely returning.

    I have eaten bad food in Italy, but never had a bad meal there. I have eaten very good food in the US, but suffered very disappointing meals. The cultural difference is that in Italy a meal is a celebration; food accompanies it, but is only part of the experience. It can be a golden anniversary or merely celebrating the end of a work day, but eating Italian style brings fulfillment that goes way beyond just decent food. Rimini is as close to Italy as one can get in the US, at least in the Seattle area. The food is totally excellent--I had lamb shank, my wife the lobster ravioli; but the entire evening was like a trip abroad, neighborly welcome, accompanied with song, wine, enthusiastic conversations, etc. Rimini is simply the whole package--as close to a trip to Italy as you're likely to find in America. I didn't realize that Americans knew how to enjoy a meal.

    We had a fantastic dinner at Rimini this past Saturday evening. The food was outstanding, the service attentive, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. The location is great, and the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food and experience. It’s clear that the restaurant is well-run—Fernando is always present, keeping a close eye on the details. We will definitely be returning!

    Outstanding Italian experience. Family Wine selection was amazing! Food absolutely remarkable. Ferdinando’s family treated us to a memorable experience capped off with Uncle Tony performing Sinatra classics.
