- LLaurieVIPLondon •18 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoWhen we ordered drinks, appetizers, and dinner. The dinner came before the appetizers. And when we asked the server about, she didn’t remember that we ordered appetizers. Was weird. And we had to eat it all together.More infoTutta Bella - Columbia CityPrice: Moderate• Italian• Columbia City•4.7
- KKarenSeattle / Eastern Washington •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoHighly recommend Musang for its food and ambiance. Every dish was delicious and creative. The only downside was parking which is, of course, not the fault of the restaurant. Just give time to find street parking. Definitely would go back again!More infoMusang SeattlePrice: Very Expensive• Filipino• Beacon Hill•4.8
- KKendraVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •32 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe were lucky to be sat at a great table to enjoy the trapeze show which is fun to see and a different dining experience. The ambience was warm and festive. Our server was lovely. She was friendly and helpful. The food was next level good. Our party enjoyed the lasagna, clam linguine, agnolotti and rigatoni with meatballs. All delicious. For dessert we had the sticky toffee pudding and the cake with pistachios. Also both delicious. Definitely recommend getting a reservation if you can!More infoThe Pink DoorPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Belltown / Pike Place Market•4.8

- LLeahVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •179 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 13, 2024Fantastic service from the team (management)! Food is always good and reliable. As GF person, I don’t eat anything else other than Salad. However, my family enjoys their pizza. Yes, I know they have GF pasta and GF pizza crust, but I don’t feel like paying extra for it.More infoTutta Bella - WallingfordPrice: Moderate• Italian• Wallingford•4.4
