Il Nido

Great drinks, fantastic service, and pasta I've never had or heard of before which was amazing. Can't wait to go back.

A gem hidden in plain sight. Just off Alki located in a historic log cabin. The cocktails are divine and the pasta is heaven sent. Book in advance or be prepared for a long wait. You might luck out and get a seat on the front lawn or at the bar. Be prepared to spend $$$, but it's worth it.

If you like Italian food and do not enjoy American Italian, this is the place for you. Great authentic food and the staff and vibe is amazing, you are received with a smile by Georgia and you know you will have an amazing night. Certainly one of the best Italians in Seattle - if not the best.

Finally got in here for dinner with another couple. It was everything we expected and then some: great food, excellent and knowledgeable service, and low-key ambiance. A very satisfying, high end Italian meal. Nice cocktails, too!

Good to know before you go: portions of each dish are modest (correctly so, IMO) and served as they come up, so plan to order 2-3 items per person and linger over the meal.
