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.

Being born and raised in Seattle and surrounding areas , I’ve driven by Tulio’s thousands of times! Now that I’ve gone in, I will be back often! Our waitress Kat, was so Awesome! Friendly, and informative. And, everything brought to the table was Exceptional! 🤩 The ambience is incredible, the atmosphere was electric, and the staff and food are So So Great! Appetizers, salad, and main course recommended. Just make sure you have a big appetite! 😃👍🏾 If you love Italian food, and a great restaurant in the city! Your #1 destination must be Tulio!

Service was really good, knowing what different cognacs on hand would have been helpful. We were seated in uncomfortable booths. The whole place was super loud. Hard to hear the server and ourselves talk. Our reservation was at 5:30pm and it was already packed. Go there for the food, and ignore the loudness. Would go back for sure.

The menu is slightly different than what is online, much smaller, but still a good amount of variety. I was pleasantly surprised with the specials as well. I had the lamb and truffle pasta to split. It was so decadent. Would highly recommend.

Shasta immediately took us under his wing and helped us navigate our way to a creative and immersive dining experience. He even went the extra mile to make my fiancés birthday even more memorable by brining us extra on and off the menu items. 10/10 would come back again…and bring others to share this wonderful experience again with us.
