   Food was absolutely wonderful. We are Gluten free and they did anything and everything to accommodate us. We were late for our reservation due to our ferry being behind schedule and we didn't even know that they had closed 15 minutes after we got there. They just completed our service without saying anything.

   Outstanding as usual. The risotto special with chicken, grated cheese and pesto wrapped in prosciutto was different and delicious. As was the Chicken Marsala, tender chicken with a flavorful mushroom marsala sauce.

   We had a delicious meal at Italianissimo. Our server, James, was attentive and helpful. We ordered one of the specials after he described several. It was delicious! We will be going back! We wanted outdoor seating and they have a lovely, private patio.

   Italianissimo is one of those places where you almost want to hear the specials before you get the menu - always creative stuff, showing great culinary inspiration, and quite unique. My wife was extremely happy with her King salmon special and I thoroughly enjoyed my caprese-inspired ravioli special. Staff was tuned in, not just attentive but had an awareness that is rarely found. Menu is plenty diverse within the obvious theme. Take notes on what you order (especially if your server suggests a twist on the theme) as you'll want to refer back. Atmosphere is smooth and delicate. The decor brings back memories of old favorite spots in Maryland. Service is somehow both relaxed yet in no way slow. Don't ignore the cocktail menu - some awesome favorites on there and well worth trying multiple!

    Another great meal at Italianissimo last Saturday night. My husband and I shared the Calamari Fritti for an appetizer. The calamari were tender, lightly breaded and crisp. There were three dipping sauces included, one of them being the standard marinara sauce. I had the Gamberi Scampi and my husband had the Gamberi Fra Diavolo. Both were incredibly delicious. For dessert, we shared a cannoli, also delicious. The shell was nice and crisp and the ricotta filling was fresh and creamy. Our server, David, was friendly and attentive. My water glass is always refilled promptly, which is not always the case at other restaurants. Can't wait to return next week!

    Italianissimo is now one of our favorite restaurants! We had tried it about six years ago and didn't find it very memorable. Well, that changed after our dinner the other night. Our server, James, was great! Friendly, attentive and professional. We started with an appetizer of the Vongole prepared in a white wine, garlic and butter sauce, very good. My husband had the Salmon special and I had the Gamberi Fra' Diavolo, both were excellent. The salmon was perfectly cooked and came with a side of spaghettini and sautéed vegetables. The Fra' Diavolo sauce was perfectly seasoned, but not too spicy. The wine list is not extensive, but they have very good selections. We will return soon!

    Flavourful, fresh, yummy food that was well-presented! I had the poached pear green salad with fontina cheese and pear vinaigrette. My husband had the caprese salad. For mains I had the fresh wild king salmon with mashed potatoes and an assortment of fresh vegetables. My husband had a beef tenderloin in a mushroom sauce, prepared to a medium rare perfection. Our server Sam was amazing - friendly, attentive, and helpful. He gave me specific information about some of the dishes I was looking at and helped me decide what to order. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Wonderful food and service all around. We had the special on salmon, the ravioli along with the spaghetti bolognaise. All were wonderful. Desserts were the right size (i.e. not small but not huge) and went well after supper: the chocolate moose, tiramisu, and chocolate gelato were very refreshing.

    The food was tasteless. The plating was unappetizing (huge pile of plain mashed potatoes covering everything--had to dig to find my fish "special" under a pile of flavorless diced tomatoes). The gnocchi plate was overflowing, $42 steak was tough. Four of us (only two glasses of wine total--three were not drinking) was over $400. The waitress was wooden, never smiled, and did not check back--barest minimum of service. When she put cheese on the pasta, she slowly dolled out less than a teaspoon. We were sat in a far corner booth when the restaurant was nearly empty. This was 6:15pm reservation on a Friday night. I used to love this place. We will NEVER go back.

    We had heard good things from friends, but didn't enjoy it. The decor feels dated. The food was average at best. Gnocchi was mushy, not al dente. Sea scallops were smoked, too firm, tasting like breakfast sausage without a seafood flavor. Both sauces seemed one dimensional, lacking complexity, needing some competing flavors, savory, spice, salt, something. The menu hasn't changed in 30 years (per the wait staff). The waitress seemed annoyed with questions about the food and drinks. Overall a disappointing experience we won't repeat.

    Usually the food is really good. But on Monday they might not have had their first team in the kitchen. The carbonara which is usually very creamy was extra dry the lasagna was very good.

    Was just okay for what you got for the high price. I’d expect a nicer, fancier atmosphere & 5 star service at this price point. Thought $15 for a kids menu pizza was a big steep too. Caprese salad was near flavorless.

    The Italian food selection was very unique and tasty. The service was prompt and thorough. The restaurant atmosphere was a nice noise level so you could talk to your partner without having to yell but didn’t have to whisper either. Overall it was a great restaurant to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary.

    My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner there for our anniversary on Memorial Day weekend. The food and service were both excellent. The location is a ways away from the main part of Woodinville/wineries (2 miles) and the ambiance could have been better but overall we really enjoyed our dinner and service.

    Italianissimo’s is a local restaurant for our family, and the family of our birthday celebrity for the day. We have been going there for years and have expectations of what overall quality we could expect with regards to food, drink, service and ambience. As usual, the four of us were not disappointed as we had a great dinner at a very private, partitioned enclosed booth. And as usual, we all left the restaurant with take-home boxes, as each meal serving seems to be made more for a two-night experience rather than for just one sitting. Hats off to the management, and staff, for making this a comfortable and easy choice during this still unsettled virus issue times.

    We’ve had great, attentive service here in the past, but last night it was just a bit lacking. We had to wait for everything, ask for more bread, water, wine, etc. Even had to ask for the dessert menu. We’ve had great service from this specific waiter in the past, but he just seemed off his game last night.

    Consistently a very solid value and excellent choice to celebrate special occasions. But it is also a go to place for any reason given its reasonable pricing.
