Authentic Cuisine, From Northern Italy to Seattle
Since its inception, Tulio has been a regular on restaurant awards lists, thanks in no small part to Chef Walter Pisano, whose cooking is inspired as much by his travels through the Old World as his Italian roots. Tulio’s dishes are simple yet sophisticated, combining rustic Italian preparations with local ingredients to create bold flavors and an unforgettable dining experience. Recognizing that our guests have different tastes and dining preferences, we proudly offer several gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian dishes on each of our daily menus. If you have any food allergies or other special requests, please let us know.

She knew so much about the food and the restaurant. Great service. Food was amazing. Had the bone marrow and Gnocchi for appetizers and lamb shank and orecchiette for dinner. Polished it all off with orangecello and grapefruitcello. Definitely going back again.

Our waitress Daniella was so kind and fun and genuine. The food was outstanding. I do feel some of the meals would benefit from just a small side veggie, for example I had the roasted chicken, which comes on lemon risotto and just a few green beans or something green added would have made it perfect. Very lovely experience and will definitely be back!
