    Quiet dinner w my daughter before an evening flight from nearby SeaTac. Entire staff was very friendly and checked in on us routinely. Bread brought to our table 10 seconds after we were seated; would have been nicer to wait 2 mins and have it warm. When I asked for a small sample of a wine to determine if I wanted to order a glass, our server brought out 2 wines to taste so I’d have a comparison, which I appreciated. Both our pasta dishes were good. My daughter’s ravioli with a garlic/shallot/tarragon filling was unique and enjoyable, though a bit overly al denote. The sauce on my bolognese was quite good, though the pasta was a bit overcooked, Chocolate torte was good as well. Again, our server and other staff were all pleasant. Opera playing in the sparsely filled restaurant was too loud for our liking, but we also never asked if they could turn it down. While I’m pointing out some improvement opportunities, the meal was definitely enjoyable overall and we’d return.

    Great food and ambiance. Staff was very attentive but hovering. Felt like a home rather than a restaurant. We will definitely be back soon

    The food was amazing! Our server went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal and found the perfect wine to accompany it. I really liked the cozy decor too. We will definitely be back.

    Our first time here and it will NOT be the last! We were a bit early for our reservation, and they sat us with no question or waiting. I had the salmon tortellini and it was fantastic! My husband's food was equally as good - he had the bolognese. We had appetizer, dinner, drinks and dessert - the key lime pie with raspberry sauce was a very tasty way to end a great evening. Service was OUTSTANDING - they were helpful and informative, but did not hover or push. The restaurant was busy, as it was a Friday night, but I had no concerns with the noise and my husband and I were able to converse freely without raising our voices. Sansonina will definitely be added to our "go to" list. I will be happy to refer them to friends.

    While an interesting place, it is similar to a dozen similar Italian family restaurants outside Chicago, San Francisco or back East. The food is fine, but not spectacular. Parking was non-existent. It was so noisy I couldn't hear my wife talk from across the table. The service was good, but again, not spectacular, they were busy so a bit slow. If someone lives down there might make sense, I'd call it a neighborhood treasure, but not a destination. Also the area is a bit sketchy. Police activity in the parking lot while we were there.

    Great service! This was our third time at this charming place. We always look forward to dining at this ristorante. Every single dish we have tried is excellent. The sauteed calimari is out of this world, actually a new favorite calamari dish. Highly recommend this place
