Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Pioneer Square

Wonderful brunch in a very cute, eclectic atmosphere with great service!

Always delightful to dine with wonderful Italian cuisine and service in the classic space. We’ve been patrons since the 1980s and we keep returning.

The food was fantastic - the crab donut was a revelation. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was lively and engaging. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Seattle and we always have a wonderful overall experience when we dine here.

Grappa Seattle offers a fantastic Italian dining experience, and my recent visit was nothing short of exceptional. The highlight of my meal was the seafood risotto, which was perfectly creamy, rich in flavor, and packed with fresh seafood. Each bite had a wonderful balance of tender rice, briny sweetness from the seafood, and just the right amount of seasoning. It truly transported me to the coast of Italy. Beyond the risotto, their Italian-inspired dishes are equally impressive. From the beautifully plated appetizers to the carefully crafted pastas, everything exudes authenticity and attention to detail. I also appreciated their mocktail selection, which offered a refreshing variety beyond the usual overly sweet sodas. It was a great touch that added to the overall experience. My only critique would be the portion sizes, which felt a bit on the smaller side. While the quality was top-notch, I wouldn’t have minded a slightly more generous serving. That said, Grappa’s warm ambiance, attentive service, and outstanding flavors make it a must-visit for Italian food lovers in Seattle. I’ll definitely be returning!

Food was good not great. This was our 2nd time here and this time our service was great.
