The bolognese was excellent but the ravioli was not hot but still tasty. The chocolate flourless cake was excellent.

Excellent service, a small but diverse menu with good vegetarian options (thank you!), wide range of wines and cocktails, what more could someone want.

Cantinetta may very well be my favorite restaurant in the entirety of the Seattle area. The staff is so genuine in their passion for the restaurant, its guests, and the food and drink. I have truly had some of the best conversations over the pasta and wine at Cantinetta. Thank you!!

The food was amazing! My only reduction of stars on ambiance was it was so dark in there! I couldn’t see the bill and I dropped something on the floor I also could not find without my flashlight!

Truly exceptional meal. Appetizer, salad, entree and dessert. Literally every bite was delicious. I definitely need to come here more often.

It was definitely too loud. I also would appreciate more non-pasta entrée options. Didn’t really enjoy the cod dish.

Known gem in the neighborhood, usually booked out. Small space, great food, quite noisy. There is a sense of authentic Italian eatery in it. The menu is shorter than average, but everything is top notch.
