   Good ambience and great service. The food was a bit disappointing, though. The risotto was flavorful but overcooked, the ricotta ravioli was very bland and the carrot appetizer was poorly executed without any caramelization on the carrots. Overall we had a good time and would come back, but the food was just okay. Maybe it was just a fluke, but I hope the food is better next time.

   Very nice that they have seasonal menus and cater to both carnivores and vegetarians. Great neighborhood restaurant. Noise level is really high which makes conversation hard for a table of four.

   Everything about this restaurant impressed us. The hostess was so pleasant and accommodating when we had to call and change the time of the reservation. Our server was outstanding - she explained the menu items explicitly, gave us plenty of time to place our order - not rushed - and she was a genuinely nice person! I loved the ambiance - gave me a San Francisco vibe! The food was equally amazing - the focaccia bread was so light and favorable! The beets were amazing. My husband loved his salmon, the bolognese was one of the best my daughter had, and I loved the mushroom risotto! Put this on your bucket list!

   Amazing food, friendly staff and warm, candlelit ambience that was welcome on a dreary November evening.

   2 of my friends and I were visiting Seattle from Texas for a work trip and decided to check out Cantinetta after it was recommended by a local friend. I can see why they recommended it! I ordered the Pici and it was amazing. The homemade noodles were perfectly cooked and the flavors were wonderful. Our waiter also recommended a red wine that matched the pasta perfectly. Will definitely go again next time I’m in the Seattle area!

   We have been going to Cantinetta since it opened. Last night the food and service were great - but the NOISE was too much. We could not hear each other to have a conversation. It was a very uncomfortable dinner.

    We had not been here for dinner in 3 years and were very pleased with the quality of food and service. It was a crowded Saturday night, and we were seated in 5 min. Our server made some nice recommendations regarding appetizers and pasta. The negroni was perfectly balanced and almost ethereal. Burrata with prosciutto had excellent flavor and textures. The carbonara tagliatelle was perfectly cooked and flavored. The braised short rib was tender and seasoned well with the polenta. The cannoli were sweet but delicate with the right crunch. Wonderful coffee at the end.
