- AamyVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •36 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFabulous new local restaurant! Remini is all the buzz...I heard from neighbors and gave it a try last week and loved everything about Remini. It is easy to find and park in beautiful downtown Kirkland near the waterfront. Our service was excellent - good attention but not too much to make you feel rushed. Our server, Gino, got our order exactly right and others helped keep our water glasses full and table clean and orderly. Our meals were delivered quickly and served toasty warm. As we watched other dishes pass by our table our mouths were watering because everything looked incredibly good. I ordered lemon chicken and it was by far the best pasta dish I have had since I was actually in Italy! My daughter's food was equally delicious. I ordered the house white wine = it was perfect and served well chilled. We had the Nutella Cheesecake for desert and it was a sweet way to end the evening. We will definitely tell others and return soon. Thanks Remini!More infoRimini RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Kirkland•4.8

Discover Kirkland
A quaint, tree-filled downtown leads to a sprawling waterfront, creating the perfect backdrop to Kirkland. Kirkland is one of Eastside Seattle's hidden gems; you can wander past fro-yo creameries and sinfully rich espresso bars on your way to the water or detour for a painting class that doubles as a wine tasting.
