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.

We sat in the bistro area and it was a nice quiet, lovely meal. Our waitress Daniella was so kind and fun and genuine. The food was outstanding. I do feel some of the meals would benefit from just a small side veggie, for example I had the roasted chicken, which comes on lemon risotto and just a few green beans or something green added would have made it perfect. Very lovely experience and will definitely be back!

The interior was nice and cozy. It was very noisy. Food was mediocre. The service people were friendly. Would we want to go back? No. My husband and I each ordered pasta (orecchiette and tagliatelle) dish but they were disappointing.

Delicious and creative American Italian - global fusion with excellent service. We had a home made pappardella with a Berber spiced lamb ragu that was fantastic.

Overall the experience was great, our 5 year old twin boys always split meals off the regular menu, they absolutely loved their pasta, my wife’s pasta, and the in house made bread. The cooks were professional, and the food came out in a timely manner, delicious. The olive oil cake for dessert was a winner, the boys also liked it. The place is nice, the boys did great, the staff took great care of my family. See you again, Appreciated.
