    New Year's Eve at Main Street's Cantinetta is a warmly-lit, home away from home! True to form, we are offering a celebratory, multi course menu to close out 2024. Full of romantic energy, candlelight, Italian vino and the GOOD good stuff (Dungeness crab, filled pasta, a perfect steak, truffles...), we can't wait to say "salut" with you! You can find our menu on our website leading up to NYE, but in the meantime, know that there will be vegetarian and gluten free options for each course. Ring in 2025 at our Bellevue Cantinetta!

                                          I love Cantinetta. The restaurant can be described as darling! Fairy lights, enough wine bottles and dark furniture to create a welcoming, warm environment. The food is always outstanding and consistent. Service is delightful, efficient, helpful and quick. It is now one of our local eateries and I can't wait to go back.

                                          The service was not great and the food mediocre. We were seated by an exit door and were blasted with cold air every time someone used it. It was also very loud, which made it hard to carryon a conversation.
