   We had very high hopes for the food as several restaurants have failed in that spot. It is a very busy place and your scale might say "energetic" but really its just very noisy. The wandering guitar player, the godfather movie on the screen all great. the food in general was also good we had two issues - one, the food took a very long time as I think there kitchen is borderline too small when the restaurant is full. Also, the "spicy" clams in broth was not spicy at all. My wife, who co-owns a spice store asked what the spices were supposed to be and the service person responded "spicy Salumi" - there was no salumi in the broth at all - they kept saying it was until finally they brought out 4 pieces of salumi to "add" to the broth - it was really strange. They did remove the charge for that but without us asking so they are paying attention and we are happy to have new restaurants in downtown Kirkland - we may give it another try but probably won't order the clams again - the meatball appetizer was very good - and the staff was attentive but just a bit overloaded

   Alright everyone this is the best restaurant in the history of Seattle at least since I moved here from the east coast in 1998. Atmosphere and feel of the restaurant is amazing. Real Italian from food to staff to owners. Thankful to have this place to go brings me back home.

   Ok. There are restaurants and there are restaurants. This is is unique in so many ways. The look , atmosphere, hospitality you feel as if you are in Italy or New York. Top that with the food big portions yet quality is very noticeable. Service is excellent very authentic can even hear them speak Italian. Love love this restaurant. Best time in the state. Experience is what this place is about and why we go.

   Meet family at Remini last evening, my expectations regarding service, atmosphere, wine and dinner all exceeded my expectations. The restaurant clearly has that NEW YOR Italian feel. The live music was incredible. A must restaurant to visit and experience

   Excellent experience from the time we were greeted throughout our dinner - little extras made all the difference - comp glass of Prosecco, a few slices of cheese with a drizzle of aged balsamic, singing from Tony! All of our pastas 7 the clams appetizer were fantastic! We enjoyed some good value Italian wines. Can't wait to go back!
