Best Authentic Restaurants in Columbia City

We loved the sushi selection from chef’s omakase menu, and delicate delicious cooked food from the kitchen. Overall, we had a great experience at Sushi Kashib, even though chef Shiro Kashiba wasn’t represent.

Every time we go, we make ourselves pick different items off the menu. And every time, it's perfection.

One of my favorite restaurants in Seattle, tucked away on a street corner in the Kimpton Hotel. Classily little spot, excellent (and authentic) Italian fare, from the appetizers to the desserts and liquors. Lovely spot, great food, exceptional service, and manager attentive to every detail, this is a a delightful experience.

I went to La Fontana Sicilana for the first time in over 30 years! The ambiance was how I remembered it. Super sweet and quaint. The staff were amazing. Ray our server was tentative, kind, knowledgeable. He made it a memorable experience for my sisters and especially me! We were a party of six so we were able to try many options on the menu which all did not disappoint. If I had to say one thing I would change, it would be to not overcook the gnocchi! A smidge mushy, but still amazing in flavor. Thank you for bringing my memory and youth back! Love that you haven't changed a thing. Why change a Michelangelo:)

First time going to Tutta Bella. We were at the Wallingford location. The parking lot is small, so be prepared to park on the street. We had a reservation for 5 people and arrived 10 minutes early. They had our table set and ready for us. When first walking in we first noticed amazing smells. The staff were courteous and sat us immediately. The decor and ambiance is urban casual. Noise level is moderate. We had drinks and appetizers which we all liked. The menu is limited to some salads, pizza and pasta dishes. My wife and I each had a pasta dish which was very good. My son and daughter each had pizza which had a good crust and the flavors were quite good. We will go there again when in the area. Wish they would open up a location where we live in Bellingham.
