Food was delicious as usual! The service was excellent, with our waitress being very attentive and accommodating. We usually eat at the Bellevue Dukes, but this Dukes at Kent Station will now be a favorite as well!

About the restaurant

For more than 20 years, Paolo’s has been bringing the taste of Italy to Kent. Paul Raftis founded the restaurant after growing up learning to cook along side his mother, Darlene Raftis. He enjoys the open kitchen he can chat with guests as he works. He never tires of hearing "It smells so good in here!" As a marathoner, he is living proof that that you can eat Italian and be healthy. In fact, one of his signature dishes, "Fettucine Paolo" was featured in Runner's World magazine. "It's one of the dishes I developed, it has no cream in it, no butter." It's a delicious pasta dish that utilizes olive oil, garlic, chicken stock, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, and chicken. So whether it's bruschetta, cioppino, pizza, or spaghetti and meatballs, Paul thanks each of you for choosing to dine here.

The restaurant was simply too noisy for my wife and I to be able to converse. We may try one more time if there is a table in a less noisy spot in the restaurant. The food and service was good. But the noise hurt my ears.

Highly recommend Muckleshoot Casino’s “Market 253 Seafood House & Raw Bar” for anyone who appreciates flavorful food. We had the Crab Crusted Sirloin and the Miso-Glazed Salmon. It was obvious quality and presentation were the restaurant’s top priority; food was delish, service was great, too and our overall dining experience reflected that. Something to keep in mind - the pace of service is more leisurely, which might not be ideal for guests who are in a rush to get back to the casino floor. But if you have the time to relax and enjoy, it’s absolutely worth the wait.
