    Real good food, drinks, service, and ambiance. Their Gnocchi is the best one I have had so far. They are so accommodating with kids.

    So we went there for a second visit. First time I had Burrata and Tagiarini. This time after ordering both discovered the recipes were totally different, and not good at all. The pasta was soupy this time, and the burrata had many toppings i could not see but took away from the just burrata and tomatoes from before. Seems they have a new chef- will not be going back. Ordered 2 glasses of wine- both tasted like vinegar. Not a single apology for it. Ordered cocktails instead that were quite frankly hard to screw up but they managed to make them meh. So disappointed- will not recommend nor go back to this new menu

    Cantinetta offers great food and wines. Prices are reasonable and the ambiance is lovely for meeting friends for special occasions, or just a casual dine at the bar. The only thing that bugs me about the restaurant is the overwhelming food smell inside. We had to wash every piece of clothing we wore after our dinner there. Even my phone cover had smells on it that I can't get rid of. So...the next time I go to the Bellevue Cantinetta will probably be in the summer when I can sit outside.

    The restaurant continues to have ventilation issues. Clothes, hair and everything stinks once you exit the place. You smell as if you were cooking all day. Hope they can fix it. The food on the other hand is quite delicious but honestly I don’t think I want to go back.

    Our table was not ready when we arrived so the owner gave us a complimentary glass of Prosecco while we waited. Rafael provided great wait service and the other staff were very quick at clearing plates and refilling water. The food was excellent, very flavorful and good sized portions for the price. A must visit in old town Bellevue.

    Everything was really good except there was very little meat in the short rib dish. Considering the sizes I think it was a bit on the over priced side. I would go again for drinks or wine certainly and hang out at the bar.

    This used to be our cherished restaurant in Old Bellevue. The talented lady chef never failed to impress us with her culinary skills. The pasta was consistently fresh, and the flavors were nothing short of delightful. After an extended absence, we returned, eagerly anticipating the familiar deliciousness. However, it seems there has been a change in chefs, food sourcing, and preparation methods. Sadly, the pasta lacked the freshness we had come to expect, and the flavors were dominated by saltiness. Our disappointment was palpable, and it felt like everything had changed for the worse. It's disheartening to see how, due to rising food and labor costs, many restaurants are compromising on quality to maintain profitability. What a shame!

    Service was outstanding!!!! Food was above my expectations. Full of flavor and everything homemade like it came out of your grandma’s kitchen in Italy. I was with a group of ladies and they treated us wonderfully (even though our convo might have been a bit loud during dessert). Looking forward to taking my family next time!

    The good was the brussels sprouts and flatbread were amazing! I have always ordered and loved their fresh pasta in the past, but this time tried the risotto. First there were 3-4 tiny, mealy shrimp on it. The risotto was almost inedible - didn't taste the saffron or lemon at all - only tasted garlic. Very disappointing.

    While the food is really delicious and nicely presented, the ambience just isn't great. Very small and cramped tables and extremely noisy. The menu options are also quite limited - there were only 2 entree choices. I probably wouldn't go back unless I could eat outdoors.

    Busy and somewhat loud. Excellent quality food and flavors. All of us had pasta, and all had clean plates at the end. Only downside was the restroom situation was a little weird- had to walk down a narrow grungy hallway to get there. Otherwise it was a great meal.
