The Urban Spoon Reviews

No complaints, service was great. Food was mediocre, honestly enjoy my home cooked Italian better- maybe even Olive Garden. If you aren t a HUGE Italian food person, save the cash.

A unique place to go on a date. Outdoor seating, one of the few restaurants in Seattle with a view overlooking Elliott Bay. You'll want to make a reservation.

Oh my goodness this was so wonderful. The food was just amazing, the aerialist was so talented, and we had an incredibly wonderful evening. Make sure you get a reservation well in advance because this place is worth the hype!

Beautiful decor and fantastic service. My friends and I all dressed up for our fancy night out and had a great time. The only reason why I didn't give five stars is because of the food. Maybe it was what we ordered, but our seafood linguine was ok, the pasta was cold but the sauce was still good. Also the rigatoni we ordered had a great sauce, but the sausage wasn't very appetizing, it just tasted bland. Because of the food we had, we just felt that we could have had better food somewhere else for a little less of the cost. I would try it again if I heard from someone else that their food was great.

The balls were good just because we where hungry
We had to ask for bread service, which was nothing special
The fish was good, but not something I might come back to
We stayed on the patio and it was a night view of the water :)

So fresh, delectable, and staff are so friendly and knowledge! Some of the best Italian pasta I've had in Seattle. The Roasted Garlic is a must and the lasagna is worth trying. The cocktails were unique and tasty too. Great outdoor and indoor seating. The inside is so eclectic and cool. They have Live music sometimes too. Worth the reservation and wait time!!!

Incredible food and atmosphere, and it is so unique to come off the alley and go downstairs. We loved it!

Good atmosphere. Seafood is fresh and really tasty.

Good food. Good entertainment. Loved sitting out on the patio at sunset.

A bit expensive but defiantly worth the experience. The live performance was unexpected yet so good.

I've been told about the great Italian food in the Pink Door, but haven't been emotionally prepared for the greatness sense-stimulating harmonious tastes. Yes, it's that good.

I ate at this restaurant very delicious. I would like to come back to Seattle and have a meal here. Especially the thing I want to eat again is spaghetti with seafood. The second is an appetizer with seafood.

Wow... simply put, this is a Seattle gem. Amazing food and great service and atmosphere.

a lovely Italian restaurant. And this is coming from someone who has lived in Italy and I am very picky about my Italian food. Everything was perfectly balanced and flavorful and not too salty or sweet. The limoncello I ordered came in a chilled shot cup which is absolutely the right way. Although this is a fine dining restaurant, it is also family friendly. Our waitress although young, was very good at helping us find a wine that we liked. I can safely say this is the best Italian restaurant I've been to in a very very long time.

Great place for breakfast. Great food, good portions. Tucker's doesn't mess around. They actually give you maple syrup with your pancakes/waffles that's maple syrup, not artificial.

It's a delicious place,
We recommend that you make a reservation in advance.
The oyster was too small when I went.
The atmosphere is good ~ but there is a stop price

Risotto is recommended.

Lasagna over here is best... its veggie.. but its the best..

Ambiance is excellent, quirky and beautiful. We had great seats with a lovely view of the water. Had the garlic appetizer which was surprisingly amazing and delicious. However remainder of the menu was typical Italian fare. Given the prices and location, I expected some unique dishes but found it similar to any other Italian place, reminicient of maggianos. Otherwise service was good and overall a fine experience, but nothing memorable.

Great place with good views to the ocean. The food was great. You should order otherwise its impossible to get a table. Great location is great

My favorite Italian place in Seattle. Fair prices, great service and awesome food!!!

Authenticity lives here. Right out the fire delicious food. Recommend it to anyone. You pay for what you eat! Meaning that it's price well.Will be eating you again soon. Thanks for the good time and great food.

Really nice restaurant with great Italian food! Really nice date atmosphere! Really nice staff!

Awesome location and vibe. Bustling and trendy. Greatttt seafood. The mussels and clam dish was so good. We had fun up there.

As good as everyone said. Can't miss seattle restuarant.

The pasta was uneatable, if you are Italian and know your pasta stay away from it!
Very disappointing!

The ambiance is pretty different! It reminds me of a restaurant located on the mediterranean sea. The food was Amazing and Jessica our server was very sweet! I will definitely come back!

Great lil cozy spot. Loved the ambiance, just as good for a group of friends even better better for a date night. This place is deceivingly bigger Than anticipated. Service was great also. We had no. Complaints about the service. Our waiter was very professional, and attentive. The food was beyond my expectations honestly. We had great appetizers as well as great main course; everything had a flavor and nothing really disappointed. The pasta here was incredible unfortunately I couldn't get pictures. But I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a great dining experience.

One of my fav locations for italian food. Don't worry if it's busy, it is worth the wait. The service here is above par. The place has a cool atmosphere.

My partner and I stopped in at this restaurant when we were visiting Seattle for the first time, and I have to say that ultimately we were disappointed. The place was cozy and our Italian sodas were the best we ve ever had, but the food portions were so tiny. My partner got the tortellini in bone broth and it was, no joke, 7 tortellinis sitting in an inch of broth. My lasagna was good, but also tiny. Needless to say we left hungry, which is disappointing when you re spending $20 on a plate.

Excellent food, excellent service. I was very happy with my experience there.

Great atmosphere, great food, great service, and a great view on the patio... but... On the top of the menu there's a blurb about large portions and promoting sharing. After we read that, my wife and I decided to share an entree, (it costs $2.50 extra to share an entree). The portion we received was not large at all... in fact... it was pretty meager. Anyways... we had dessert and still left hungry. Don't split a meal if you're hungry. Everything else about it was great.

Italian level that Japanese people expect. Noodles are delicious with al dente or fresh noodles. recommendation

Nice ambience, good service, many shows to view at various days of the week

Great atmosphere, great service, tasty food, live music, I love to have a cocktail here and a bite.

Delicious food (caprese, bolognese, formaggio!) Sat on the outside deck which looked and felt like an entirely different restaurant from the inside. It was my first time - I want to go back and sit inside for the ambiance. The deck did have a nice view of the water. Lovely vibe.

Very nice place, excellent food, nice service and welcoming ambiente. Not easy to find, particularly as the door is apricot, not pink.

Went to pink door with my friends. Made the reservation a few weeks out because we wanted to be able to sit on the outside patio during sunset . Food was excellent as always.

I went to dinner without reservations and waited for 2 hours. After all, I ate dinner elsewhere and drank desserts and drinks! Jazz and the atmosphere are so great

Great atmosphere, great cocktails and quirky decor!!! Food is amazing but try to go to one of the burlesque shows to get the full experience!

Great date spot! It's a little hard to find (literally just a pink door in Post Alley), but definitely worth checking out. Above average food, great drink selection, and even smaller dishes to share. I hear for certain nights your need a reservation so plan ahead. We went on a weekend afternoon though and got seated right away without calling ahead.

Awesome place! Service, food and entertainment were great. This will be a repeat visit for me.

The deck at the Pink Door is lovely and the food/ service always excellent.

Lost a lot if its original charm after the remodel to those of us who appreciated its sexy, unique feel. I'm sure there are plenty who will enjoy it though. And the service was excellent as always so that's a plus.

A must stop for me whenever I am in the area. Don't missed the Trapeze show. Great service, delicious food and an overall fun experience. Recommeneded for dates and birthdays

Absolutely amazing food! Great scenery! Live performance while we ate our dinner!

It's an historical place but the vibe seems a little too pretentious. Great staff, good shows and all but something about the place feels a little contrived. No sign on the door should have been a hint.

Nice restaurant, beautiful interior design, good food.
We ordered 3 plates and a starter to share between 4 and the bill came around $30per person, which isn't too much considering their food was great and quantity was sufficient.

Amazing food (try the lasagna!) and fantastic entertainment. Polite and friendly staff.

Awsome place! Great atmosphere and great food. Shout out to our server Hayley! Made us feel welcomed and great conversation and recommendations. Thank you

Staff were helpful and friendly. Food tasted great and stealthy service and delivery.

Had the lamb and lasagna. Lamb was delicate and delicious. Lasagna was very good. Staff were fine. Location outstanding. Outdoors, beautiful view of the Sound. Inside, can see live shows. This and Assagio are my favorite Italian spots in Seattle.

Fantastic outdoor patio. Great food. Make reservations.

This place looked so cool online and the food sounded amazing! After eating here I was wowed in some ways but left wanting more in others.

Price - The prices are pretty high but thats what you expect when going out for fine-dining and a show. I'd say these were reasonable given that but as some of the food wasnt very impressive I'm feeling they were a tad too high...
Food - This was a mixed bag. Ahi Tuna appetizer was great! Light and delicious. The Duck Confit was wonderfully cooked, however the grains it came with didnt go very well with the dish's other flavor. Same with the pasta we chose, a marinara with rabbit. Pasta was fine but didnt wow us like the duck or tuna did. If the food had hit the mark I'd feel less conflicted about the price of these dishes.
Drinks - we ordered a gimlet and the seasonal special mocktail. My gimlet was ok, too sour but its a gimlet so I kind of expected that. The mocktail was far to sour though. Not totally impressed here either.
Atmoshpere - While i wasnt super impressed with the food or drink I was BLOWN AWAY by the atmosphere. They have put mirrors and lights on the walls which give it this cozy feeling. And the stage is in a prime location for every table to see the performers. Hands down an amazing atmosphere.
Service - this was also great. We had a really warm and welcoming man that answered our questions with confidence and made sure we were taken care of.

All in all this was a great location for a special night, especially if there's a performance. Be sure you make a reservation weeks in advance unless you want to risk a long wait.
However it missed the mark on a few points. I'd go back for a great live performance or just to be in somewhere cozy, but I wish the food and drinks were better.

Food is expensive but decadent, drinks are amazing! Bartenders are highly trained (ours was named Raymond) and loved making new drinks based on your likes.

The pizza and pasta were outstanding. The service was alright and the prices were alright as well.

The Italian food here was amazing as you will not be disappointed no matter what you get on the menu. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Food was great, service could've been better. Tables around us were getting bread and more attention, our server was not as good

Fresh NE twists on Italian with a beautifully whimsical, unpretentious flair.

Thank you for making my partners bday a very special one. Dinner and the view were great!

Dump Trump cocktail on the menu certainly gave extra points to the overall excellent experience

Received a gift certificate for a dinner out. I will pass this type of gift on many times we had such a wonderful time. The atmosphere rocked the show is amazing and the food was as excellent as everything else!

Really nice atmosphere and service was good. Food was pretty good as well.

Great food, service and ambiance. Alejandro helped us immensely with his suggestions. He is great asset to the establishment. Cocktails were on the spot! Oysters were super fresh and sweet. Appetizers were wonderful. Our main course and dessert were delicious. Highly recommend it.

Had the ciocinni Pink Door which came with super tasty tomato soup base and seafood. Loved it! Great service too

The food is fantastic. Simple and tasty. The staff is unbelievably amazing. Thank you Jake for your service. Wonderful view and great ambience. Get the tiramisu.

What a great restaurant! The interior decor was lovely and the outdoor seating has a great view of the port and lovely flower pots! Food was amazing too!! Would love to come back again

Easily one of the top Italian restaurants in Seattle. Possibly the best with their consistency. I've eaten there around 10 times, and each meal had impeccable food, top notch service, and nice cocktails. At night, the back room may be the most romantic spot in Seattle.
The Lasagna Pink Door is a must have. I always get a different item when visiting, but I always get an order of the lasagna to split. It may be the single best entree item in the city.
I also really liked the bolognese, cioppino, the beet salad, and if there ever is the duck available as a special, get it.
I recommend reservations as the wait may be long for a table in the front room.

This place is one of my boyfriend and I's favorite spots. The view is amazing and the decor is a mashup of elegant Alice in Wonderland; wacky, tacky, gaudy, but still pretty and elegant! Every time we go we try something new, and usually never disappointed. The service can be a bit dodgy depending on your server and it can take a long time to get your food after ordering, but otherwise the food is great and location is close to the market.

Attentive service, cozy atmosphere, and all dishes we ordered completely satisfied expectations.

The food is decent. It is hard to get hold of the server. The view is awesome if you are sitting next to the glass facing the water.
