Authentic Cuisine, From Northern Italy to Seattle
Since its inception, Tulio has been a regular on restaurant awards lists, thanks in no small part to Chef Walter Pisano, whose cooking is inspired as much by his travels through the Old World as his Italian roots. Tulio’s dishes are simple yet sophisticated, combining rustic Italian preparations with local ingredients to create bold flavors and an unforgettable dining experience. Recognizing that our guests have different tastes and dining preferences, we proudly offer several gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian dishes on each of our daily menus. If you have any food allergies or other special requests, please let us know.

The cooks were professional, and the food came out in a timely manner, delicious. The olive oil cake for dessert was a winner, the boys also liked it. The place is nice, the boys did great, the staff took great care of my family. See you again, Appreciated.

The server was exceptionally attentive and friendly. The restaurant website shows valet parking @ $8.00 but the parking lot charged $12 (plus tax) so this should be "fixed" so that customers have accurate information. There is a 5% service charge for minimum wage adjustment. This was not evident until we received the bill ... not that it would have changed our mind about dining here but some sort of footnote on the menu would have been appreciated.

Being born and raised in Seattle and surrounding areas , I’ve driven by Tulio’s thousands of times! Now that I’ve gone in, I will be back often! Our waitress Kat, was so Awesome! Friendly, and informative. And, everything brought to the table was Exceptional! 🤩 The ambience is incredible, the atmosphere was electric, and the staff and food are So So Great! Appetizers, salad, and main course recommended. Just make sure you have a big appetite! 😃👍🏾 If you love Italian food, and a great restaurant in the city! Your #1 destination must be Tulio!
