Best Italian Restaurants in Lake Union / Eastlake

What a special place and special meal. My wife have been trying to dine here for over 25 years and we finally made it happen. We knew it was going to be a great night when we were seated at one of the widow seats. Didn't know that space had been added. We absolutely loved our waiter Patrick; we was spectacular in every way. Solid wine list at reasonable prices. Loved the Barbera d' Asti from northern Italy The local Washington oysters were a treat. Arancini (3) were hot and delish. Went for the classic Pink Door lasagna (I never order Lasagna in restaurants - Costco lasagna has ruined me forever on the dish!) However I loved this version - such subtle flavors. My wife had the pappardelle (she makes a number of great PD dishes) and she loved what she ordered. Ended the evening with the sticky toffee dessert which also was rich and memorable! It's clear the Pink Door know its lane and everything works. Every thing we ate was memorable and we can't wait to return and try what we didn't have a chance to enjoy. We flew up from Sacramento to see Beethoven's 7th at the Seattle Symphony. Thanks for your part in making our trip more than we ever could have hoped for.

We found re:public online looking for a restaurant not far from our hotel. We found parking be an issue but we were able to find a place to park right away. The food was excellent! We started with the Manila clams with a saffron butter broth that was delicious. My wife had the mushroom pasta with a mushroom cream sauce and I had the pork chop with grits and chard. Both were outstanding but my wife thought the sauce was a little sweet. My pork chop was everything I expected thick and juicy, and both dishes came out hot! I’m embarrassed but I don’t remember our server’s name and she told us. She was great, very attentive and very accommodating, she made a fresh pot of coffee for us. Overall it was a great experience and I will go back the next time we’re in the city.

Il Terrazzo Carmine never disappoints! I've been dining there since 1990 and it's been great every time. No need to say more.

Delicious food and a great time. Would recommend for a special occasion as it’s quite pricey.

The LUNCH MENU prices and portions were comparable and worth the money. The Fettuchini Alfredo and the Lasagna were great! Coffee was like warm and had to request a fresh cup each time I needed a refill Our waiter/bar tender/buser RUSHED us as we both have never been to a Bucca de Beppo before. The Welcome Host, white female, was not engaging with the customers as we entered the establishment.
