A very good restaurant with great food and service. From the moment we entered the door the staff greeted us with a smile and words of welcome. We were about 15 minutes late for our reservation but as we entered the host made us feel welcome! The ambiance feels like it has been owned by the same family for 50 years. The Cozze e Vongole (clams and mussels in garlic broth) were on par with the very best we have eaten. We ordered the bruschetta with tomatoes for the boys but it was a heavy cooked tomato sauce with a bit too much spice for the boys. It was a bit heavy with sauce and I should have asked more before ordering, One kid had Ravioli Aurora (ravioli with mushrooms and pomodoro cream). He asked that the mushrooms be left off. The ravioli got great reviews and I agreed based on the small tasting that I was allowed. The other kid Spaghetti Bolognese. This was the only disappointing dish. The sauce was thick and heavy with a lean toward sour. The pictured dish as presented on line would have been excellent for him. As he is out picky eater I had made sure it had something he would like. He tried to eat it but asked to trade with me. I swapped but I couldn't finish it either. The husband had Rigatoni con Salsiccia (Pomodoro, fennel sausage, mushrooms, onions). It was a little spicier than he expected but it got great reviews from him. I agreed but I liked the spiciness. I had Fettuccini con Pesto with an addition of prawns. To my surprise the prawn arrived having been prepared in a salamander. I immediately worried the would be dry, chewy and tasteless. My Bad! I sliced into the tender moist shrimp which I wrapped in pesto coated fettuccini and took my first bite of an excellent dish. It was better than what I had imagined. Thanks Chef! You gave me an excellent version of my favorite dish on my birthday! If you want a very good meal, to be treated with respect and kindness, and to enjoy this in a very nice but not fussy environment, Go to Andiamo. And to top it off, there was more than adequate parking available and the restaurant validates parking. Now, if it the would bring my favorite dessert back to the menu. How can a very good Italian restaurant not have Panna Cotta on the menu? read more

I don't know why this place has such a low rating! My boyfriend and I came here for an early dinner on a weeknight, so the restaurant was pretty empty, and we loved it from start to finish. Our waitress said she had just moved to Seattle from Italy, and made us feel like family right away. She shared stories of her hometown and experience growing up in Italy, and we loved the friendly conversation! As for food, we ordered the bruschetta for an appetizer to share and I thought it was so tasty! The tomatoes + balsamic vinegar was a sweet mushy combo that went so well with the crunchy baguette underneath. The mushroom bruschetta was new for me, and delicious also, although I didn't like it as much as the tomato. They also gave bread with olive oil, and the mixture tasted even better than the bread I had in actual Italy! I ordered the gnocchi bolognese, and I loved how meaty the sauce was. The gnocchi was soft and chewy, and everything blended together so well. Everything was also reasonably priced for an Italian restaurant in Seattle/Bellevue, and I'll definitely be back soon to try their other dishes! read more

Varied Experience at Andiamo in Bellevue - Exceptional Service by Santos, Disappointing Seating Arrangement and Behavior by Host Moises My recent visit to Andiamo in Bellevue was a mix of highs and lows, with standout service from Santos but disappointing aspects that marred the experience from Moises. Despite the restaurant being empty and not requiring a reservation at the time of our arrival, my husband and I were seated in the back, which impacted the overall ambiance and enjoyment of the dining experience. Firstly, I want to acknowledge the exceptional service provided by Santos and the chef. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and dedication to ensuring a pleasant dining experience were truly commendable. Santos went above and beyond to make our meal enjoyable, and their efforts did not go unnoticed. Notably, Santos was able to have the chef customize a dish for me, which turned out to be excellent. However, the evening took a negative turn when we were placed in a less desirable seating area. This, combined with the behavior of the host, Moises, who exhibited unwelcoming and discriminatory behavior, detracted from what could have been a more enjoyable evening. Despite the less-than-ideal seating and the discomfort caused by Moises, Santos's exceptional service and the chef's customized dish shone through, helping to alleviate some of the negative aspects of the visit. In conclusion, Andiamo in Bellevue offers quality food and exceptional service from Santos, who went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. However, the disappointing seating arrangement and the behavior of host Moises can impact the overall dining experience. I recommend the restaurant based on the positive aspects, but I encourage the management to address these issues to ensure a more welcoming and inclusive environment for all patrons. I almost walked out if it wasn't for Santos our server who serves in the "back". You have been warned. And hopefully Moises changes his attitude or his employment. We visited Italy and came her for the authentic vibes of it but Moises can taint the experience with looks and bad energy. To add we are visiting from Orlando, FL. Pistachio Gelato was amazing but the canoli is not fresh or made in house it's hard. I recommend the Gelato for sure. Chefs kiss to the ‍ read more

We were visiting Seattle for the first time and wanted to find a romantic dinner spot. The menu looked great so we picked Andiamo and headed there for a late Friday night reservation. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. Our waitress kept the vibe up and was very authentic and informative. She made recommendations for both of us based on what we said we liked, and was able to provide a wine paring that was perfect. For appetizers we got the Cozze e Vongole and the Olives al Forno. Both tasted great, and they were a perfect start to the meal. For entrées, we got the Gnocchi della Casa and a special of the day that was a linguine with several types of fresh seafood. Throughout the meal, the staff was friendly, attentive, and it was the best meal we could have asked for. When visiting Seattle in the future, this will absolutely be our #1 spot to go to again. Cannot recommend enough! read more

Andiamo - Italian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

A friend and I had a study date at the Bellevue library and made a reservation for 15 minutes after the library closed. The location was perfect for us and we were able to avoid downtown Snowflake Lane traffic. The environment is cozy and small. It felt like a warm Italian squeeze! I don't drink a lot of Italian wine, but the by the glass wine selection was great. I loved the Sangiovese. We started with a beet and goat cheese salad that was light and not too heavily dressed. To follow up, I had a pesto pasta which I subbed for gluten free noodles, and my friend had one of the daily specials, a salmon picatta that was lemony and refreshing. The restaurant offered a few specials that I was tempted to try, but always go for a pesto if available. A couple next to us was on a first date, and there were some family groups. I loved the moderate noise level that was festive, but easy to have conversations. I forgot to take photos because we had such a great time. read more

I came for the veal scallopini, and the veal scallopini was good! Maybe not the best I've ever had, but it still hit the spot. Andiamo is a bit loud (punctuated by the proprietor's excited cries of "wow, wow, wow!" whenever he serves up a dish) but it's relatively inexpensive for the area, and tasty too. I'll probably come back next time I'm in Bellevue. read more

I could not recommend Andiamo more! It is an intimate environment, with the most incredible and authentic Italian food you can find. The manager, waiters, staff and everyone in between are so genuinely welcoming to every customer and they treat you like family. It has been one of my parents favorite restaurants forever and it has now become one of my families favorite places to go. The manager remembers us everytime. I chose Andiamo to celebrate my birthday and my boyfriend and I had our Valentine's Day dinner there this past, Friday. A lot of restaurants have a set menu for Valentine's Day, so we were slightly unsure about whether or not we would like it, but it blew our minds. It included a variety of appetizers for both of us, complimentary champagne, a choice between two different salads, four different entree options, as well as dessert. We both LOVED every single dish, especially the entree's. I could not recommend Andiamo more! The food is authentic and beyond what you could ever expect, the service is excellent (as well as quick...which makes it a great choice for couples, families, and even kids), the ambiance is beautiful, and everyone (waiters, manager, etc.) make your visit an experience to remember!!! - Molly & Brandon read more

Andiamo - Rigatoni with meat sauce - Italian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I'm a regular at Andiamo, and I have many choices for Italian food in Bellevue. I choose Andiamo often because the food is invariably excellent, the service is AMAZING, and the staff is knowledgeable. Do you want a good wine pairing with your order - you won't be sorry you asked. Andiamo is also very Italian! Case in point, I was entertaining friends for a little celebration. I needed to get back to work so asked for the check. The server chastised (gently) me as one of my guests had not completed his desert. Andiamo is like being in Italy where there is never a rush to surrender your table. BTW, if it is on the menu, the pear and gorgonzola pasta is to die for. I know, it doesn't sound good, no one I've dined with yet has been disappointed. It is rich, but oh my, it is worth the calories. read more

The food was absolutely amazing here! We came last night and was so impressed with both the food, ambiance and the service we came back again tonight. My daughter and I travel all around the United States and love Italian food. This is one of the best in both of our opinions. We had read the reviews prior to coming and there were a few negative comments about the service, but nothing negative about the food, so we decided to give them a try since they were near our hotel. The service was immaculate! Everyone was professionally dressed and extremely friendly. They were the perfect mix of being attentive, but still giving us space to enjoy our meal. The food was beyond good! We will definitely come here the next time we visit Washington again! read more

Amazing food and service. Better than most of the high end places in Bellevue. Will be going back more.

Loved the food and atmosphere. Great place for a lovely italian dinner away from Italy!

Pretty unprofessional. We got here at 1:55pm but found it closed. Google and Yelp both say it's open. The sign on their door says it closes at 2:30pm. read more

Andiamo - Italian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Summary: food was alright, higher end of pricing, ambiance was on the louder end, but service was a hoot! Our waiter was hilarious and very charismatic, though I didn't agree with him not telling us the prices of the specials... Pros: * smack in Bellevue downtown * charismatic and energetic server Cons: * parking was a ways away, so we had to walk in the cold * at least the day we went it was pretty loud * pricier for okay tasting food * server would not tell us the price of the specials read more

I am a little late in reporting on our time at this Italian restaurant, in Bellevue, Washington. We just returned from a world wide visitation, and I could not to wait to set down and say a few words...................first of all, the manager. His name is Christian.................Their is no one in this city of Bellevue Washington, that knows customer service like he does. And his staff, the same. They know also where they have to be in customer service.....................Their is no mistakes made at this restaurant while your in their hands.............none. And why is that? Its Christian........he knows people, he knows attention must be given to those who enter his domain. Anyone who comes there will come back. You cannot forget the service and quality of food and of course, Christian. I need to call him soon for reservations for January 11, my wife's birthday. I look forward to the great service and love so well presented just as we enter and even as we leave....................Thank you Christian read more

Let me start by saying the staff here just make you feel good! The food too, but the staff, they were just the best! I was in town for a work trip and we were craving Italian. We wanted the cheese, the sauce, all the carbs. While initially we picked this restaurant due to its location, the moment we walked in we knew we found the right place. The restaurant smells amazing and the staff all greet you like you're an old friend! From the front of house staff ushering you in to a table, to the kitchen staff all cheerfully yelling welcome from the plating line. We ordered the burrata with beets to start, some meatballs to share and then each ordered a ravioli. Sadly I only took a photo of my ravioli. I will be back on my next trip up! read more

Oh my god! Just WOW! Came here with my coworkers for a team dinner and didn't know what to expect as we aren't from the area and it was easy to get a reservation. However, boy was I wrong. From the start, these guys welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like we transported to a restaurant in Italy. The service was TOP NOTCH! Servers were FUNNY, captivating and exactly what we needed after a long day of meetings. Food was incredible. We 100000% will be back!! Thank you for making our dinner a memorable one! read more

You are family the moment you walk through the door. Food is excellent. Service is beyond excellent. They will also customize dishes to your preference. My son always asks for buttered pasta (non menu item) with a side of sausage and they're always happy to do so. Give them a visit, you won't be disappointed. read more

I took my parents here to celebrate their anniversary. Right when we walked through the door, I knew we were in the right place. Super friendly and excellent customer service. The menu selection was fantastic as well as the wines. We had several specials that night that were offered to us that were spectacular. I had the Sole in a white wine sauce. Wow! I love the ambience of this place and feel like we'll be back again soon. read more

Great food and ambiance. Would definitely return. Wait staff is superb. Thank you.

I was not impressed. For the price, I expected high quality Italian food. I wish I took some of the pics of my food as proof but if you look at the photos, you can already tell the quality and presentation just doesn't deliver. I was so disappointed... I can cook better pasta at home. The portions were small too. Please don't waste your time or money here. I will not come back. The manager/owner also needs to tone it down a bit. His personality is way too loud and can be a bit overwhelming for the customers. read more

Top marks for Andiamo! I found Andiamo while searching for a place to host a large group in privacy. Cristian (owner or manager?) spent a lot of time communicating with me over text to fine tune the details, as well as answering all my questions and addressing all my concerns. Due to the size of my party Cristian offered me a selection of set menus to pick from prior to arriving and they accommodated us in a semi-private, curtained-off back room where we had a wonderful time. The food was authentic, wine recommendations amazing, and the service from Cristian & Serena was enthusiastic and made the night. I'm writing this after hosting my second large dinner there, so you know it's good. read more

I have driven by this restaurant dozens of times and this was my first visit and I am kicking myself for not coming in sooner. The food was elegant and authentic but not pretentious.

A cute and romantic Italian restaurant featuring classic authentic Italian food! Service was just as memorable as the food!

What a wonderful experience this was from start to finish! The staff were super personable and we were made to feel like family immediately. The food was perfect in every way.

It had a delectable saffron sauce which will haunt my dreams with it's deliciousness. Cannot recommend this beautiful gem enough! read more

I was looking for the perfect spot to wait for the husband while he finished up with an appointment in Bellevue and I happened upon this place. The promise of a glass of wine and gluten free pasta was enough to lure me into the door. I was pretty early for the dinner hour so they invited me to take my pick of tables. I settled for a street view next to the large windows and enjoyed the quiet low lit romantic ambiance. The server must have seen that -Get me wine NOW- look in my eyes and brought over a glass of red so I could unwind and await the husband. Once he arrived we put in our order and before we knew it delicious Italian noms were in front of us. My gf pasta and the husband's gf gnocchi, both with the bolognese sauce, were delicious and portions were quite generous. Once we were bursting full we packed up leftovers for another solid future meal. I enjoyed the flavorful sauce and was pleased at how they cooked the technique sensitive gf pasta. We look forward to returning to sample more delicious menu items soon! read more

My $50 lobster ravioli special tasted like it was made with canned tuna and heated up in the microwave.

It was chilly Wednesday night! I was surprised this place was almost full house when we walked in! I order Spaghetti Bolognese. I ALWAYS order Bolognese..because I'm loyal ya know? Just kidding. I'm so regret that I've never visited here..what I was doing living in bellevue last 10years? I do love there spaghetti sauce with Bolognese. It's flavorful and pasta was cooked just perfect perfectly with right amount of salt. In my opinion, Barolo and Tavolata's Bolognese is still my favorite because they use Rigatoni and Pappardelle..I think? The service was very gentle and he always came in "right time" to ask something. And I just realized after finishing this review, I ordered ANGEL HAIR MARGHERITA Pasta instead of Bolognese because they didn't have Bolognese here. read more

We moved back into the area after living in Europe for 4 yrs. We passed by, had been maybe 6 yrs ago and it had been just ok, but we didn't know they sold it 3 yrs ago and it's NEW ! Wow ! First the food - Delicious! Great variety (to a fault, I had trouble deciding so we will be back!) bursting with flavor the way it should be! Loved the small intimate restaurant feel ! Super welcoming and friendly vibe! Big energy! Like you were a neighbor that had gone in as a regular! (To us -a European feel that we're sadly missing) we will be back! The service, in a time where restaurants charge you a ton, and nobody cares and you pay a fortune- we left genuinely happy, satisfied and not ripped off. My water glass always filled (a pet peeve of mine when empty) and staff read when we might need something- attentive but not hovering. Never felt rushed but instead like I was actually there to enjoy my meal. Which we did! A rare find! Thrilled it's in Bellevue! I didn't expect to like it as much as we did and didn't remember to take photos- next time read more

Dropped by here with a friend last night and had an absolute blast! The location is convenient and the food is delicious, but the best part is the service! I called in because we were going to be late for our reservation and the guy who picked up, Chris, was an absolute gem about it, telling me not to stress out about it and to take our time. Chris was our server and he truly made our night! His energy was infectious! He remembered that I was the one who had called in and reminded me not to stress out and to jut have a good time. There was a little mix up with our order and he made sure to get it fixed without any issue. Every time he brought something to our table, he greeted us with a "WOW WOW WOW" that truly made every course feel like an experience! The food itself was incredible--we ordered the beets and burrata, Farfalle Alla Marianno, and the Penne Alla Arrabiata. Everything was absolutely delicious and made for the perfect evening! We'll definitely be back here again soon! read more

We returned to Andiamo hoping for a better experience under new management. The quality of the food, sadly, has not improved and service was slow. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks and the restaurant wasnt full. As for the food: The clams in white wine sauce did not taste fresh and were rubbery. The halibut "special" was so very dry- we ate only as much as the sauce would compensate for. The sauce for the halibut and side veggies were extremely and unpleasantly salty. My friends ordered the paella and the seafood was overcooked, tough, and/or rubbery. Very disappointing. read more

This was our first time here but you would have thought we were regulars truly treated us like long lost relatives. They went out of their way to give us a great experience.
