We went without a reservation on a Saturday night. Wait time was about an hour. The decor is charming, warm and inviting. We split the bagna cauda, a salad, the pappardelle and the whole fish. Mostly solid but not breathtaking, the wines were very good.

Beautiful restaurant and view from the patio, great service, food is good but too expensive the quality-price rate is to work... Well located and for a small extra you can see a show on Saturday !

The food was really good, and the atmosphere and interior were really good. One thing that is regrettable is that the employee who was in charge of our table was very friendly to the customers of the table next to him. I don't know if he will be there yet, but I was really disappointed. Long live King Sejong

Wonderful place with real Italian cuisine. And to get to know Italian cuisine well, I can tell you that you will not be disappointed with the trip! Very welcoming staff, warm place, music that makes you travel to Italy. Everything is there for a successful experience. Nothing negative.

Great authentic Italian food. Love that most everything is made in house and/or from local vendors. Great for a date night or if you have friends or family in town visiting. Make reservations in advance!!! We sat on the deck but this is a picture from right inside tje front door looking down into the restaurant.

Not a good service. Surver are very rude and when I told him about some food he is get so mad and after when I said I don't expect that he is so rude and very unprofessional and unpleasant .its just make over afternoon bad.

Me and my husband came here on our honeymoon before setting of on our Alaskan cruise. Food was tasty but I was asked for id and I showed my uk driving licence and it was not excepted. I looked forward to a glass of wine with my meal. As I did not get this I just didn't enjoyed my meal the same. Very disappointed in this. I felt very embarrassed.

Fresh pasta, delicious! I went during lunch time after our friends went out hiking. Not super easy to find. But literally in Post Alley (away from the Gum Wall), pay attention and literally look for a Pink Door! Free bread BTW. They rotate a few seasonal dishes. Even for lunch, it's a bit pricey. Can't beat the quality though!

The Pink Door is a quirky Italian restaurant with great service, live music, and delicious pasta. Food in particular was pretty good and unique, but probably isn't the best pasta you'll ever taste.

You can leave your number at the front and they'll text you when your table is ready it's usually packed so expect a wait.

Great Caesar Salad to start, seafood cioppino was wonderful. Light spicy tomato broth and the side of creamed corn was amazing! My husband had the special of the day which were scallops and he said they were wonderful. Our server was very attentive and efficient. Love the atmosphere and view. We couldn't get a reservation but decided to take our chances and wait after calling and getting encouraged to try it by the person answering the phone. She was right. We waited only about 20 minutes and still made it to our concert on time. We will definitely visit the Pink Door again!

Wonderful dinner

We had a slew of small plates and everything was great. Our favorites were the chorizo stuffed dates, the smoked pork belly and the cheese plated. Great setting, great service. A really enjoyable meal!

Came here with a party of seven and the service was as good as the food. The vintage decor is beautiful and the view by the water compliments the food. Items we ordered included the oysters, mushroom crustini, Caesar salad, clam linguine, brussels sprouts, the mafalda, the risotto, the Northwest fish of the day (cod) and the pink door choppini. No complaints about anything. The food was very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The risotto was probably the best dish out of the above. Also, our server (the one with the distinguished walrus moustache) had a cool sweater on. Well be back for sure!

PS: Canadians, they have fast WiFi

I'm really happy to call this place - home! Everyone is super nice: from the busboys, waiters to the owner himself that literally takes you back to Northern Italy. Best espresso and best pesto pasta!
My boyfriend goes crazy for the meatballs- absolutely amazing!

A perfect place for lunch with a friend. Enjoy the view on the patio with a group of friends on a clear afternoon for happy hour. A wonderful place for a romantic dinner. The seasonally changing menu never disappoints.

For the the two months that I had to wait to have a reservation the food was not this great, really price for what we had. I had the fish of the day, It has flavorless my husband had the Lamb it was ok, but not what we expected. Again another place that only have good reviews because it is price and funcy

The hunt for this place is no joke! It is down an alley with no visible signage at the door. But once inside it feels warm and inviting. Sit near the window in the back and you will be able to peek at the comings and goings of the Pike Place Market. The menu is limited but we'll made. I would suggest any of their salads and Fish entrees.

Had an enjoyable afternoon here. Staff were very friendly, fast and there are no uniforms here! All the staff definately display their unique styles. Food was delicious. A very eclectic mix of antiques, theatre, pretty views and hanging flower baskets.

Yes, this place is as cool as its name. Brought my parents here for lunch after a friend recommended it. After eating here, we were floating on cloud nine. Casual and charming, with great food and service. Would definitely bring a date here - I suspect the place is pretty romantic during the later hours of the day

Please fix your reservations. Calling your number and I get a long speech in English and then Italian, that states clearly that someone will take my reservation. At the end of the recording it just says "Goodbye" and hangs up.

I've also tried reserving on your website the past two days and it says that online reservations are "temporarily unavailable".

Great food, great views, and great price!!

Great food, great views, and great price!!

The food here are simple but good. Mostly seafood dishes which resemble the Seattle fish market city.

The view right by the windows can see the Seattle ferries wheels and the water. The view during the day or night are both beautiful. Great place for a date, meeting, small gathering, or just dinner.

The food is tasty with reasonable price. The bread and house made olive oil is a must try!

The parking might be a little harder during the day but if you go for dinner after 6pm, most pike market stores are closed and can find parking easily.

Enjoyed an early Sunday dinner here. If you don't have a reservation then best to get there right at opening. Such a cool venue with an amazing view. Located in Post Alley, it is literally just a Pink Door! No signage! Our group had the halibut, risotto, lasagna & meatballs and we all raved about our meals. Started off with the garlic rosemary fries which were delicious! Our waitress was friendly & relaxed. Highly recommend this place

This place is so so so amazing, one of the best restaurants I ve been to! The vibe is casual and cool, the food is delicious and the place is decorated in such a fun and quirky way. Everywhere you look there is something new! The drinks are also amazing, and the staff as well. We got to see the trapeze (?) artist, which is such a cool touch. GO HERE!

Delicious Italian food in a cozy space. Cheese board was a diverse and fun appetizer and the lasagna is delicious. We didn t have a reservation and waited for an hour and 10 minutes on a Friday night... worth the wait for sure.

Of you're looking for delicious Italian food come here! Everything was really tasty and well served, plus excellent service. Pro tip: make a reservation because it's always full. If you're interested in attending the late night show be sure to book in advance if not you'll have to wait in line and see if there are no shows.

My friend and I dined here recently and had a lovely experience. Beautiful atmosphere outside and lovely staff. The food was very tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed our dishes, but serving sizes were a little stingy for the price. This was the only disappointment in an otherwise delightful experience.

Nice atmosphere.

Nice atmosphere.
Rather American food. In the spaghetti alle Vongole it had bacon cubes in it .....
Edible but not Italian.

The owner does not believe in following the basic health codes. The staff is told to remove gloves when handling herbs, and other ready to eat foods. Antipasto food is held on the counter for 16 hours a day at room temperature because the owner feels it tastes better. Cooks eat over where they make customer food because there is no lounge for them to eat in. They have not posted their health food rating sign for a long time. They insist that the servers give up their tips so the owner does not have to pay the cooks better wages out of her pocket. The entertainment is fun and the atmosphere is beautiful. Maybe getting a beer out of a bottle would be safe because the view is lovely.

So a cool place to eat. It is kind of hard to locate it at first since it doesn't have a sign but the pink door should give it away It is such a nice establishment. We did not make an reservation and had to wait an hour n a half. So make that reservation! Luckly they do take your number down so they will text you when your table it ready. Luckly it is very close to the market so you can shop while you wait. We ordered the Cippino Pink Door and the Rigontoni pasta. Both were delicious! The pasta had a rich marinera sauce with sausage and meatball. The cippino wasn't your typical think sauce but more of a broth. It was rich in fish, clams, muscles, scallops, and calamari. The only thing missing was crab but that was okay. We also ordered the roasted garlic. It came with cheese, bread, salad and of course deep fried garlic. The service was really good, as he was attentive and informative regarding our food. The restaurant is on the mid to high range but totally worth it. On certain Saturdays they do have a dinner and show so if you are interested please look at there website. I believe it is for adults only. Highly recommend!!

Loved the Atmosphere! Amazing Food! Amazing Service! Will definitely be back and tell my family and friends about this restaurant! Visited in from Houston. The Shellfish Pasta was Incredible, it was a special for the day.

Came here for a wine tasting with a group and no one explained any of the wines. We sat there for 10 minutes before we realized that we were on our own.The wine and food was delicious but poor customer service.

Okay, while I hold no ill will toward our server. We were seated next to a couple to the right of us, window seat. Just has we were served our main dish (linguine clams) the women at the next table became unconscious. Her boyfriend as he rightly should have screamed for 911, my girlfriend tried to call, the server tried to call, and finally 911 was called and dispatched to the restaurant. As this was all happening another server came up to us and asked to have us moved to another table. By the time our dishes were moved and the situation was under control all the food was cold and horrible. We were still asked to pay for the food (the wine was comped ) of course the linguine and clams were cold. I can t believe such a restaurant let this situation unfold the way it did.

Great food, very cool and unique atmosphere. Reasonable prices for the quality, helpful and friendly wait staff. No signage, just a Pink Door, which creates a feel of secrecy and exclusivity. Will be returning!

If I could predetermine my last meal...this would be it! The food was divine and the ambiance was spectacular. The kale salad and lasagna reeled me into a dream. I will return again and again while visiting Seattle.

The food here is delicious, the atmosphere is great and service is flawless. I went twice during my recent visit to Seattle and each time was perfect, but the second time was a quiet lunch service and I was able to sit undisturbed for three hours, reading my book. My waiter also kept refilling my teapot with hot water which was a lovely touch. I felt very at home and welcomed in a city far from home. Thank you!

Top notch food in an unassuming, fun environment. Order the octopus and bolognese. And ask for Beatrice. She's the best server. Super friendly and keeps the bread and olive oil flowing freely.

The chowder and lobster roll was delicious but I was expecting it to be a mind blowing awesomeness because of the hype and long line but it just fell a little short on my expectations. Still, it seems like one of those places you must eat once in Seattle so I'm glad we did.

I've been here a handful of times, and honestly I think it's overrated. In my opinion, there are so many other great options for Italian food in Seattle. Cool outdoor patio in the summer months, though.

Not much to say... If you like pizza, if you like deep dish pizza, if you want to fall in LOVE with pizza, come here! I was impressed with the pizza & drinks! Plus they have a happy hour!
