I’m in Seattle for a conference and I’ve come here twice in 3 days. The food does not disappoint. The spaghetti carbonara is delectable and the spaghetti calamari is perfection.

The drinks! Top tier!!! 1940 is the perfect blend of sweet, subtle and refreshing. The lemon drop made with gin is just yummy. This Friday night bartender, Chris R, can make a drink!!!!

If you are staying in the retail district, don’t miss out on their night time happy hour – 9pm-11pm.

I wentt here during a conference for work with other from my organization. I had the Gnocchi con Salsiccia e Tartufo and it was great! Our server was super nice and accommodating to a member on the team with dietary restrictions. Definitely 5 Star service!

Darko J was our server last night and due to his professionalism, my wife and I had an amazing experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable, respectful and attentive. The food was amazing, great tastes and flavor combinations. Excellent wine list as well
We will be returning!

Located in the heart of downtown Seattle just steps away from the Spheres, Barlolo Ristorante delivers an authentic taste of Italy that leaves a lasting impression. I am no food critic, so I can’t vouch for official authenticity, but I can say this was easily one of the best Italian meals I’ve had. The space feels a bit tight, which is expected in a downtown setting, yet the warm atmosphere makes up for it. Service was attentive and gracious. Our large party had a few mix-ups with the order, but the staff corrected everything promptly without fuss, which speaks volumes about their professionalism. Overall, it’s a place I would gladly return to and highly recommend to friends who enjoy hearty Italian specialties in a lively downtown setting.

It is pricey, but delicious. You know what you’re paying for. If you want to get a great taste of food, this is your choice.
Bolognese and steaks are amazing, highly recommend their selection of wines.
Staff is friendly, place is clean, just visit and you won’t regret.

We chose Barolo for our final evening in Seattle and it could not have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting.
Our server Fabricio was absolutely spectacular, attentive without ever rushing us, and genuinely enthusiastic about every detail and checked in often enough to make us feel truly cared for. His service elevated the whole evening and turned it into something unforgettable.
It was our first visit to Seattle and we wanted memorable Italian cuisine to close out the trip. Barolo delivered in every way exceptional food, exceptional wine, and service that set a new standard. We’ll be recommending this restaurant to anyone visiting the city and can’t wait to return the next time we’re in town.

I really don’t understand the hype around Barolo. There are plenty of Italian restaurants in Seattle that offer similar—if not better—experiences at more reasonable prices. The service and atmosphere were fine, but the food was underwhelming across the board.

The calamari starter was okay, but the tomato sauce was so overpowering it masked any real flavor. I ordered a pasta dish with meat, but oddly enough, it didn’t come with any pasta—just a dry, overcooked piece of meat (despite requesting medium). The portions were surprisingly small, especially considering the prices.

Dessert was also disappointing. The tiramisu didn’t resemble a traditional Italian version—it lacked ladyfingers and felt more like an Americanized interpretation. Even the espresso martini needed correcting because they included Baileys instead of sticking to the classic recipe.

On top of all that, they automatically add a 20% service charge plus a 3.5% additional fee. You’re essentially locked into tipping 25% whether you like it or not, and that’s not something I’m okay with—especially when the food doesn’t justify it.

Bottom line: for the price, you can have a much better Italian dining experience elsewhere in Seattle. This was a one-time visit for me, and I won’t be returning

The food here was fantastic, I think the tomato caprese was one of the best I’ve ever had, the tomatoes were so ripe and juicy and the pesto sauce was perfect. I also really enjoyed the octopus, it had a smoked flavor and was not chewy at all. The Gnocchi were delicious and the chili clam pasta was nice the clams tasted very fresh. My main complaint would have to be our interactions with the server, Neil, were really strange. He came up to our table and sort of stood there awkwardly, then asked if we were ready to order. He took my friends bread plate away with out asking if she still needed it (and then left mine) then after we’d finished our starters he reset her place with new silverware and not mine. Then after we finished our mains when dessert came around he set the dessert menu on our table without asking if we wanted dessert. There were other thing that were just off about our interactions that werent there with the other staff. He didn’t really seem to want to engage in regular server to customer dialouge, I can only guess maybe we were being snubbed because we were dressed in casual clothes having just driven 3 hours or because my friend and I are plus size. All the other staff we interacted with were amazing and attentive.

We had the pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant and can’t recommend it enough! The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and welcoming.

The food was equally impressive. The sablefish was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor in the squash puree, while the gnocchi with sausage was out of this world. The menu offers a variety of unique and creative dishes, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

What’s even better is that they have more options than those listed on their online menu, as it changes regularly to keep things exciting.

For exceptional food, great service, and a unique dining experience, this is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back!

I had the pleasure of traveling from Sinaloa to Seattle, and without a doubt, one of the best decisions I made was visiting this Italian restaurant. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best risotto I’ve ever had in my life — and honestly, the most delicious and authentic Italian dishes I’ve ever tasted.

I was lucky enough to meet the chef and owner in person, and not only is he originally from Italy, but he’s also one of the coolest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and it shows in every detail — from the beautifully presented dishes, to the incredible wine selection, and the music, which for me is such an important part of any dining experience. Here, the music is perfectly curated — stylish, elegant, and sets the perfect mood.

The service was excellent — attentive and professional. Whether you’re going out with friends for a special night or having a romantic date, this place is an absolute must. I honestly don’t understand how anyone could leave a negative review — it’s clear when comments come from envy rather than actual experience.

If you’re ever in Seattle, do yourself a favor and try it. It’s one of those places that makes the entire trip worth it.
