   We had a nice birthday celebration on New Years Day. The place was busy - obviously very popular, and they reportedly have a nice happy hour. All of our food was excellent -- very tender octopus, nice lumache (snails), tender venison steak and excellent osso buco (which is easily big enough for two people). Our server was great -- attentive but not intrusive. We'll be back.

    Elegant atmosphere, excellent service. We dined on New Years Eve, traveling from out of town. We made it to the restaurant at 10pm for a 10:30 reservation and they sat us immediately. The food was delicious and our waiter was knowledgeable and personable. It was a great way to usher in the New Year.

    We went for New Years Eve to Barolo Ristorante. Considering the busy times just 2 Hs before New Year, everything went perfect. We were seated on time (with reservation). The Negroni was Perfect, and the food pristine. Super recommendable place.

    I use to live at The Cosmopolitan and frequented Barolo 5 years ago. The food now is not as good. I had the clam linguine and the sauce was not as described (more a brown butter sauce) and definitely not to the par of 5 years ago. Osso bucco had a strong bouillon flavor and was average. Calamari was tough and nothing special! Bread and tamponade was the best thing we ate! Disappointed with the wine by the glass selection with Chateau St Michelle being the only Chardonnay offered. Ambiance is still lovely, music perfect and staff and waiters knowledgeable and helpful! Will come back when I’m in town again because I had such fond memories at Barolo!

    A really fine meal on Christmas Eve. Had to wait just a few mins for our table, but that gave us opportunity to sample wines in the bar -- and choose a good one for dinner. Our server was friendly and super helpful -- she recommended the venison steak special and it was fabulous! We had an excellent meal and a pleasant evening.

    The only "negative" comment, and I use that term lightly, was that the really dim lighting made it hard to read the menu. I used the flashlight app on my phone-problem solved.

    Hostess couldn’t find the reservation after I showed her on my phone that I had confirmed. She didn’t try looking it up by phone or alternate options. Said that we had to wait and as we looked around we saw the rest of our party already seated. Our friends also said the hostess also said they didn’t have a reservation for us but gave them the antics of waiting for the next available table.

    Great food and service. Very loud, and no sense of intimacy at all. I should have done more research before booking, because I would have known. The only reason I cared was because it was our wedding anniversary. We were at a two top table literally INCHES from another two top- felt like we were eating with two strangers. Now, on a regular night out or a night with a group of friends it wouldn’t matter. We went prior to a show at the Paramount Theater and it was perfect for that. I would give it a 5 star if we could have had our own booth or table.

    Highly recommend for special nights out. We love Barolo! The atmosphere, vibe and excellent service are complements to what I believe is the absolute best Italian Restaurant in Seattle. We had a girls night out to celebrate the holidays, the owner Salvio came by and added such warmth to the night! I love this is a family restaurant, it brings such a personal touch to the times I dine here. My server Bryan gave excellent recommendations and advised us on wine that paired perfect with dinner. The appetizers were presented beautifully. My main dish, Fettuccine Di Mare Al Cartoccio came to the table with such a beautiful presentation and quality seafood. So yummy ! Thank you Barolo we will be back!

    I have such mixed emotions about this last meal at Barolo. My husband, my middle schooler, and I were there to celebrate another wedding anniversary (>20 years). The food was marvelous, maybe even better than ever. Alas, Antonio, our waiter, exuded an icy manner towards us even when he feigned a smile. In contrast, he spent a great deal of time with the tables around us, chatting about his favorite spots in Seattle, etc. Meanwhile, back at our booth, our water glasses & water bottle were often empty. We were required to ask several times for a new water bottle. After my husband opened my large, artistic card, he set it aside on the table in a corner. Almost comically, Antonio notices and asks if it's someone's birthday. When he sees that it's an anniversary card, he chuckles and walks off. No questions about how long we were married or congratulations. No acknowledgment at all from the restaurant. When he came with his machine to swipe my card, he stood glaring at me when I was faced with the option to tip. Unlike any other waitstaff, who customarily have turned away or opted to return after a customer is done with the tip and signature, his eyes locked on me and my fingers. My daughter watched his face fall when I skipped the tip section. I wanted to leave a cash tip because I didn't like feeling forced to decide in front of him. However, he asked me how much I intended to tip. I reluctantly said 18%, although I wanted to make it 15% because of our displeasure with his subpar service. He turned his back to me and said, I'll go ahead and add my tip myself. No worries. Poof, he walked off. Bizarre. On our way home, we chuckled that Antonio could have added 150% tip for all we knew. The night was disappointment and hopefully an anomaly. Our last waitress was memorable because of her warmth and knowledge about the menu. We hope that management addresses this issue as I can imagine that Antonio has had his moments with others as unfortunate as us.

    This restaurant was a hidden gem just blocks from our hotel. The decor was reminiscent of our summer trip to an Italy- quaint tables, beautiful chandeliers. The food was delicious, but best of all was the impeccable service. Our waitress was stellar! We will be going back.

    This was our first time to this restaurant. It was absolutely a wonderful experience. The ahi tuna starter was perfectly spiced and beautifully presented.The New Zealand lamb with a cherry infused sauce was amazing. The flavors were so complimentary. It was to die for. If you like lamb, I would highly recommend it. My husband had the sablefish with miso which also was delicious. A great selection of Italian wines showcased on the wine menu which complemented its Italian restaurant. We definitely plan to return . This gem will not disappoint.
