  I really wanted to enjoy this place, because I've heard people rave about it. Sadly, this was not the case for us. Pros: -We were quickly seated before the supper rush / large groups arrived -The pizza was amazing -The bolognese had good flavour, according to my wife -She enjoyed the seafood medley as well as the gnocci and shrimp, but stated there were too many peppers Cons: (this is the "sucky" part of our experience) -Although there was plenty of seating, especially window side, they chose to seat us in a tucked away spot, that was extremely dark. -Shortly after we were seated, a large group of about 10-15 and was sat next to us. -Waitress took 20 minutes before collecting our drink, app, and food order. I inquired about the ingredients of the bolognese, but she didn't know what was in it. (I asked specifically if it had carrots, and she said no, definitely not. It had carrots. I'm ALLERGIC, but more about that later). -Waitress brought the drinks, and forgot to bring a bottle opener. She said she would return with one, but never came back. We had to flag down someone else. -20 more minutes go by and we get our appetizers. I ordered the burrata and prosciutto, but didn't realize it came with a rather large slimy pile of peppers and onions under the burrata. A little bit I can handle, but the amount that was on the plate was ungodly. -Our entrees eventually come, and as I stated before, the bolognese had carrots. -Our waitress never once came back to our table to check on us. Had she done so, I would have been able to salvage my supper and ask for something I was not allergic to. -She finally brought the check, my to go pizza, and a couple boxes. At this point her attitude shifted from too busy, to sweet and chatty, presumably for a sizeable tip. She asked us how the meal was to which I responded, we will not be returning. She became silent and walked away from us without so much as a lovely evening response. Our take away on the whole experience: If you like a ton of peppers and onions overbearing your dish, a waitress who is not well-versed in product knowledge, slow and inattentive service, then this is your go-to spot. Otherwise, stick to the pizza. We won't be going back anytime soon; it wasn't worth the money.

  Bland bland bland. I got the Piccante e Dolce pizza and I tried almost everyone’s food at the table, including the rigatoni. All lacked flavor, absolutely underwhelming. Impressive that they were able to make pizza not have flavor

  Hopefully the rat right outside the door has no access inside. Neapolitan pizza was too thin compared to the real Neapolitan pizza. 4 pieces of garlic bites were 11 something bucks. Calamari was ehhh but it was definitely not worth the price.

  Service was great, even with one server absent. Pizza was tasty, Margherita and Roberto. And she had the peaches and burrata which I'm told was good as well. Parking was easy. Restrooms were clean. Nice atmosphere.

  Walked in with my 19-year-old daughter for dinner. Half the restaurant sat empty. A few groups ahead of us, yet we’re told there’s a 20-minute wait—for two. Whatever. Host tells us we can sit in the bar area. It’s quiet. Open. She’s not drinking—we’re just there to eat. An older, short waiter in a tan cap brings menus and water. She takes a sip. Then as she’s about to order, he suddenly demands her ID. I explain—she’s not ordering alcohol. Doesn’t matter. He keeps going. Starts throwing out numbers: “It’ll cost $5,000.” Then somehow, “$10,000.” He won’t let it go. She’s sitting there with half a glass of water and now we’re being threatened with fines? We got up and walked out. No professionalism. No common sense. Just paranoia wrapped in attitude. You had empty tables and managed to push away paying customers. Takes a special kind of service to make that happen.

  We were an extended family with young children. The waiter did an outstanding job keeping the kids and adults happy which is not easy. The meatballs are really yummy and make great appetizers for everyone. We had four different types of pizza and they were all extremely good. Prices for food and wine are quite reasonable. Definitely worth returning especially with kids.

  Good pizza - I’ve had better, but this place is definitely good and I would go back. Prices are reasonable(for Seattle) and carry out service was fast.

  I've found the perfect combo at Tutta Bella to be the Flatbread appetizer along with a small Mista salad. The charred flatbread is so flavorful with olive oil, rosemary, and cheese. It comes with a crushed tomato dipping sauce. The salad ingredients are fresh and the amount of dressing just right. The restaurant is quite large, with a bar area separated by glass. I like to go for an early lunch when the restaurant isn't too busy. It seems to be a great spot for families with young children and family gatherings.

  The pizza, salads and desserts are quite good. We recently attended a large party at this location. We have eaten at another location with a small group. The large event was amazingly efficiently handled by the restaurant staff. Good food well served made this night before a wedding dinner of friends and family from around the world so much fun while we were being well fed. Thank you Tutta Bella

  Mista salad was limp with basically no perceptible dressing. Cannelloni beans were smashed into pasty balls. Spaghetti carbonara was basically flavorless with a slimly peppery coating of sauce at the bottom of the bowl. The bread for $3 was slathered with oil and toasted into an unbitable slice. Only saving Grace was the espresso and the Negroni. Thumbs down, we won't be going back again.
