This was my second time at this restaurant. So far, I have had a great experience both times. The menu has lots of great food options. The pizza is delicious. I love sitting at the bar; however, the back of the chair is not long enough which is uncomfortable and not good for back support. It’s difficult to sit at the bar and enjoy a good meal on those chairs.

After running a few errands in town I got a craving for some oysters. Which I did order and was the only slight disappointment during my visit as the oysters were rather small, and overpriced for the size. Also, weren’t as cleanly shucked as they could’ve been.
The delicious focaccia and chutney was a nice starter. Especially paired with the oysters.
I wasn’t planning on having a main, but when the most gracious and personable server asked what I’ll be having as a main I looked through the menu, and saw a surprisingly rare dish I have come to love and has been hard to come by so decided to go with the Polpo Mario. A gorgeously plated masterpiece of the most tender, beautifully grilled and seasoned, octopus and mashed potatoes, with asparagus. This dish alone, made the whole experience worth a review.
I will definitely return to this cozy and welcoming space again soon.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Seattle. Our server’s name was Leo (hope I’m spelling that right) and he was phenomenal. I came in with my whole family and service was quick and friendly. The food was AMAZING!! We ordered everything. Drinks, appetizers, mains and dessert and they were all great. As a Seattle Foodie I’d definitely recommend this place, portion sizes are amazing as well as the quality of their food and service. 100/10. Thanks Leo for letting my mom practice Italian with you!!

Cinque Terre is a 10/10 restaurant. My partner and I consistently come back here for special occasions. Every time, we’re welcomed and well taken care of throughout the night of service. Cody in the bar area is absolutely amazing at what he does. We highly recommend sitting in the bar area for their happy hour. You can tell that the servers here care about their customers and the service they provide. We thank Cinque Terre for always leaving us with a smile on our faces and a wonderfully memorable experience each time we go in.

We stopped by this restaurant on our last day in Seattle, and it turned out to be a really nice choice. The place felt warm and welcoming as soon as we walked in, good vibes all around, perfect for enjoying a relaxed dinner before heading home.
Service started off well. Our server greeted us quickly and was friendly, and we didn’t have to wait long for the food, which was great. I went with the lasagna, and it was delicious authentic Italian flavor. The salmon was also tasty, and I liked that they had a solid selection of European and Latin American wines to pair with dinner.
Dessert, though, was a bit of a letdown. The menu wasn’t explained clearly, so we just ordered two scoops of gelato. For the price, it felt too simple, and the presentation wasn’t what we expected. On top of that, once we finished eating, we felt like we were being rushed out a little, which made things less comfortable.
All that said, the atmosphere was still very nice, and I’d call it a good spot for dinner in Seattle. Customer service just needs a little more attention to match the quality of the place. Parking isn’t a problem there are plenty of paid lots and garages close by.
One last thing to note: they add a 3.5% fee to the bill. The explanation on the check wasn’t super clear, but if it helps keep the restaurant running and supports better service, I don’t mind contributing.

We had dinner here to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is perfect for a slightly upscale dinner or any special occasion. We arrived around 7:30 PM, and although we didn’t need a reservation, I’d recommend making one just in case.
We started with a glass of wine (prices are a bit on the higher side) served with warm bread and homemade pesto — such a nice touch. For our appetizer, we ordered oysters, and they were exceptionally fresh! We’re used to good seafood, but these really stood out.
My husband ordered the Prosciutto Pizza, and I had the Calamarata al Pesce pasta. I didn’t try the pizza myself, but my husband said the dough was amazing and loaded with toppings. My pasta was clearly homemade — you can taste the difference — and it came packed with seafood, especially the mussels, which were outstanding. It was one of those dishes where you want extra bread just to soak up every drop of that incredible sauce.
To finish, the staff kindly brought us a tiramisu on the house — perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and without that overly bitter coffee taste you sometimes get. Truly exceptional (and I say that as someone who’s lived in Italy!). The bathrooms were spotless, and I loved that you can see the kitchen from the dining area.
Overall: excellent atmosphere, top-quality food, and genuinely warm service. Highly recommended for a romantic or special evening out.

I didn’t realize walking in that this was a farm to table restaurant. Very pleasant surprise. The food was excellent, fresh and distinct flavors. The server was very friendly and helpful, but seemed a bit overwhelmed. I had the charcuterie board (chef’s appetizer mix). Delicious variety. The blue cheese was wonderfully creamy. My main was a wild boar pasta. You can tell the pasta is made in house, so great!!!

Seriously could not have asked for a better dining experience. I sat at the bar while my daughter celebrated her 16th birthday with a date night. Frankie was her server and was incredible! Cody was mine and equally incredible. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

We ordered full meals from starters to mains and dessert and expected at least a decent Italian experience. What we got was something between a bad experiment and a rushed tourist trap.
Let’s talk about the food. One of the most laughable things we saw: they actually put Grana Padano on top of mozzarella on their pizza. The octopus dish was smothered in so many random sauces that it was impossible to taste the actual seafood. The whole meal felt like a gimmick — not Italian, not creative, just confused. Now, about the service: we hadn’t even finished or in some cases started the starters before the main dishes were being thrown onto the table. Lasagna and pasta plates were being dropped off mid-bite, as if we were on some kind of timer. It was awkward, rushed, and honestly kind of disrespectful.
Then, as soon as we finished eating, the bill was slammed on the table without us asking, and the plates were cleared instantly — like they couldn’t wait to get rid of us. The restaurant was almost empty, so the rush made no sense at all.
The waitress, Loan N., was equally unimpressive visibly uninterested, and looked unprofessional with half-painted nails and an untidy appearance. It felt like no one there cared.
This place might pass as “cool” for some hipster crowd who don’t care about real flavors or proper dining service but if you’re looking for anything close to authentic Italian food or a relaxed dining experience, look elsewhere.
Truly disappointing. Would never go back.

Yesterday, we finally stopped into Cinque Terre Ristorante in Seattle — a place my favorite person and I have walked past countless times without a second thought. That was a mistake we won’t be making again. The food was exceptional, the service warm and attentive, and the atmosphere exactly the kind of effortless charm you hope for but rarely find.
