We were seated at our reservation time at a premium table. Our waitress was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and efficient. Salad was unique and very flavorful. Small plate to share at Nichol’s recommendation, of scallops was outstanding. Main courses were again unique, flavorful, and exquisite. Desert was to die for. Best meals we’ve had, ever, in Seattle! Can’t wait to return.

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.
