If you see, I’m a regular! Weekly when in Seattle since it’s so good! Another great dinner. I love beets so started with the golden beets. I like Italian style so got the rigatoni with braised rabbit and squash, even better than last time! Do the tasting menu and get the elk Osso bucco! Like candy! And great service

As you've seen - a regular when I'm home in Seattle - excellent food and service - some of us will come just for the Spaghetti Pomordoro - simple and perfect! Going to be going back with friends whose family is from Umbria for the wines. And excellent bar - and the excellent food!

It’s Seattle Restaurant week but still went with the classic gem lettuce salad and spaghetti pomodoro (extra chili flakes) Beignets for dessert. All excellent and the usual excellent service. even better than Lidia’s Italy!

This is for the Seattle Dining Week menu: Loved getting to try 3 different appetizers. The preparation of the fish in the crudo was light and let the very fresh fish shine. The tartare was delicious and we had their version of a wedge salad at the same time to balance the meat. The entrees were likewise wonderful. We didn't know we liked swordfish (replacing rockfish that night) until this preparation. It was moist and had a wonderful complementary vegetable "sauce". The pork was also perfectly cooked. The vegetable preparation was very salty but complemented the meat well, making "a hunk of meat" great. (I am not usually a hunk of meat fan.) The desserts were a nice finish but nothing great (and small).

Vendemmia rarely disappoints & its menu of fresh & current offerings is always interesting & well executed. The late season timing of our visit meant it was too cold to take advantage of their outdoor dining option AND that the full indoor space was quite noisy. We had mostly good service, until late in the meal when our waiter became distracted/scarce & we were kept waiting for final interactions & the check~never a good taste to leave in diners mouths.

Vendemmia continues to be the best restaurant in the Madrona area. We enjoy both the pastas and main course dishes. Fish is especially well prepared here. Other favorites include the gem lettuce salad, snap pea with dungeness crab and the tasty steak tartar. Service is usually great.

Nice place with indoor and outdoor seating. Wait staff was attentive. The menu was small but enough variety. The pasta (spaghetti and ravioli dishes at our table) was excellent. I ordered tenderloin, medium well. Everyone in my party was finishing their meal when my steak arrived, medium to medium rare. I ate the edges at the restaurant,delicious. The remainder was delicious the next morning once cooked to medium well.

We had a terrific meal at Vendemmia. The food was truly fantastic - we got the 4 course Chef's tasting menu - and every*single*dish* was sublime. Highlights included the stracciatella, the ahi tuna, some sort of genius cacio e pepe made with bucatini (good LORD was this good), the salmon (salted/cooked perfectly), and a dessert I didn't know I needed but blew my mind (carmel sauce, melty brownie, rolled in soft nuts of some sort, handmade cream on the side - one of the better desserts I've ever had at a restaurant). Service was fantastic - our waiter was attentive but didn't hover, knowledgable, warm, thoughtful, remembered it was my husband's birthday and put a candle on the dessert - she was truly A+. The downsides to this restaurant are that it seems to be fine dining (the food is elevated, and expensive, with terrific service) - but the space is cacophonous with loud sounds from the kitchen - and lots of people coming and going (loudly) past your table. People aren't dressed up to come here - many folks were very very casually dressed. The tables and chairs are similarly less formal, feeling like a pizza shop rather than a nicer restaurant. In the end, especially when most of the patrons left and it was quiet, the ambiance was much improved : ) Overall - a lovely place to have dinner - kudos to the chef & kitchen team, and the wait staff.

We have eaten at Vendemmia many times and always had excellent meals. Unfortunately, their chef left and none of the dishes we had on our most recent visit were good. The octopus was undercooked and rubbery, my pasta dish was smothered in sauce and almost seemed was out of a can and another entrée we had didn’t taste like much of anything. We were very disappointed and surprised. We won’t go back until we hear things improve.
