    Excellent service, as always! This is one of our favorite restaurants. Our server was fantastic and he remembered us from last time. I ordered the special, which was a ravioli dish, but there were only four raviolis. It seemed a bit sparse for the price of the meal. Whereas my husband ordered lasagna and it was enough to feed three people.  I was a little disappointed in the portion size.

    We really enjoy Amaro. Great food, great service and nice atmosphere. Only downside is that it is a little noisy and can be hard to have a conversation.

    We are regulars here. Amaro Bistro in Bothell offers a delightful dining experience with ‘sophisticated Italian cuisine’ and a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant features an exhibition kitchen and a diverse menu that impresses diners with its quality and creativity. I had the chicken breast risotto and my wife’s repeat entree was the risotto!

    This is a quiet space with good food and knowledgeable service. Service a little slow, dinner for four took about 2:15 with very few tables full. Otherwise great place.

    I've eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. It's one of a few local restaurants that have carpaccio on the menu, which is a favorite of mine! The service is always great, and I love their various choices of amaro to sip on.

    We won’t be back! Food and service were excellent! But there are some things that you just have to say “No”; even though trivial! We get the bill and it’s got a surprise 3 1/2% service charge added to “provide a living wage”. Well excuse me but I didn’t appreciate stuffing a charge like that onto the bill! Add it to the menu price or take it out of your profits but don’t surprise me! Perhaps a notice was buried in the menu? Who knows? Very tacky!

    I love this place! The food is always great. If you love lasagna then you must try theirs. The best I have ever had. The service has always been great. I have been coming here for many years. Always recommend it.
