Reviews for Ristorante Picolinos in Seattle, WA
Picolinos is an authentic Italian restaurant that doesn't disappoint. I'd say this is in contention for the top Italian... restaurant in Seattle and is great for date night or family gatherings. Street parking outside and tons of tables inside andout, it fits dozens and dozens of groups. It feels like the rooms just keep going, and the outside seating is nicely setup aswell. The food is excellent, prices are a bit higher than other places but portion sizes are also a bit larger and the taste iswhere it should be. Service is great, staff are really nice and quick as well. This is a place to go to, and it's nestled inSunset Hill so it's a good view after right down the road. Read more
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This place is so special, tucked into a Ballard neighborhood and feels like you’ve... stepped into Italy itself. The food is phenomenal, and so are the staff. They have wonderful musicians playing live most nightsof the week, and the decor is stunning. We love the new outdoor expansion, for all seasons! And don’t miss this place in thewinter time- they do an amazing job decorating for Christmas to make everything feel festive. We come here for specialoccasions- my husband even proposed to me here! Picolinos, you’re one of a kind. Favorites: - Rigatoni Salsiccia - Any of theRaviolis - but especially the pork belly and the lobster raviolis - Broccolini saltati appetizer Note on Parking: StreetParking only, not usually too difficult to find, but sometimes have to park in the neighborhood and walk a block or two at most Read more
Great atmosphere, service and food. The ravioli were tasty. The arugula salad was refreshing. And desserts were good. The creme... brûlée and cheesecake were the best. The tiramisu was on the wet side. The cannolis were not that great. Read more
Four adults went there for dinner. The atmosphere here was very nice. Lovely decor and candle-lit table. We ordered the... antipasto plate, which was a little small and didn’t come with cheese but was still tasty. I ordered the pork belly ravioliwith truffle cream sauce. The ravioli pasta tasted quite fresh and it was a delicious filling meal overall. My wife got themorel mushroom tagliatelle which was good but didn’t include many mushrooms. Very cool experience overall Read more
A very cozy Italian restaurant in a quite neighbourhood. I visited it multiple times (and did some free advertisement to my... friends) and really impressed with taste, especially the pappardelle. The outdoor seating is like a dream garden, willdefinitely visit again when the summer arrives (hopefully soon). One little complaint, desert options are limited and not quiteimpressive. Read more
This Italian restaurant has a really cool atmosphere! I had the Calamari with the Rigatoni Salsiccia and it was good! Plus a... tiramisu to finish the meal.The staff was very kind and the Christmas decorations really brought the whole room together.I dorecommend going and checking it out! Be sure to place a reservation ahead of time though just to make sure you get a table. Atfirst it was very calm but when they get busy the place really fills up and is a lot of fun! Read more
The place is in Ballard, not Seattle downtown. The service is great, wines are great but the food isn’t so good. First, very... small portions, second, they fi not taste good and fresh. It has a good authentic Italian vibe but the food is not worth theprice. Highly disappointed with it. The service was very quick and responsive. Read more
Picolinos was, and still is, our favorite place for Italian, and the ambiance is unmatched, with the cozy outdoor dining so... comforting. Friendly professional staff, and our own fire pit! Too dark for photos of our meals but the puttanesca and ravioliwere perfect and nothing tops off an Italian meal like a nice glass of limoncello. Always a pleasure. Read more
