    Quatro Formagio Pasta
    Rutuja S.

    Friendly people and great food! Very thoughtful wine collection! We tried the Bruschetta, quatro formagio pasta and criolo pasta. The Bruschetta was different than what I have had before but it was delicious, my husband liked the quatro formagio pasta and said it was creamy and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The criolo pasta was amazing, the creole seasoning was perfect and paired really well with the Italian sausage, peppers went really well with all the flavors in the dish. We will definitely be back for trying other stuff.

    Garlic cheese Bread

    The place was uniquely decorated with motorcycles, definitely gave a nice vibe. We got seats quickly on a weekday. Pastas were great. Especially, Quattro Formaggi had a blend of marinara and Alfredo that was unique. Recommend the garlic bread appetizer. Only reason for 4 star is the service was ok - for whatever reason the waiters appeared cold all the time they attended us. But food made up for it - will visit again.

    CV never ceases to disappoint. Hadn't been in quite some time and decided to go this evening to celebrate a new job. I realized I had never done a review! I know, shocking. I have no negatives here. From the somewhat cheeky Italian themed interior (Italian motorcycles from the 20th century) to the incredible food, I always have the best experience. Tonight was no exception. I got the seared salmon pasta special and SO got the stuffed pork loin with gnocchi. We shared the pesto cheese bread and bread with garlic butter. Finished off the meal with chocolate soufflé a la mode. Ughhhhh, I can't wait for leftovers. I also added some photos I took of food from past visits.

    Lemon shrimp salad

    I don't normally order salads, but I'm trying to eat healthier, so I went for one today, and it completely surprised me. The lemon shrimp salad was so good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, the lemon seasoning was spot on, and the sun-dried tomatoes tied everything together. The portion was generous too, and I was so full after. The interior is amazing too, with motorcycles and really cool wall decor. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

    The restaurant is located walking distance from the Totem Lake Shopping Center. The restaurant is a bit dark and outdated but the decor makes up for it with lots of vintage motorcycles and racing memorabilia. The menu features a variety of pasta and pizza, including gluten-free options. Service was friendly and fairly quick.

    Cafe Veloce is everything you want for a local better-than-olive-garden spot. It's not going to win you over if you just came back from Florence, but it will seat the whole family and give you massive portions for the price with friendly service and the family diner vibe. Everything we had was good and we'll be back again whenever we need that quick fix sit down Italian.

    Pesto pasta
    Juz C.

    This place looks vintage but the food is pretty good. The pasta is a good size as well that I managed to still have some leftovers. The staff are really friendly and were asking us what we needed. I also ordered the strawberry lemonade soda. The location does have some parking and is very close to totem lake mall. Love their decor inside very retro and lots of old motorcycles.

    Dungeness Scallopini
    Lilian X.

    My husband was super excited to go here as the restaurant is decorated with Cafe Racers. The menu was simple, not too big. The price is overall reasonable. We got the Dungeness Scallopini and Lamb Lasagna. They were both mediocre. Dungeness Scallopini was very liquidy, I wish the Alfredo sauce was thicker and stuck to the fettuccine more. The Lasagna was pretty dry, we were surprised to see the lack of sauce. Service was good despite them being busy hosting a wine dinner. We ended the night with a tiramisu. That's usually a great way to judge an Italian restaurant, by trying their homemade tiramisu and it was delicious!

    Decided to stop in on a whim. I drive by here all the time and haven't been in in years. I was quickly seated, but then had to wait quite a while before the waitress came. When she took my order, she was very curt almost to the point of rude. I ordered one of their salads that had olives, artichoke hearts , tomatoes & onion chunks. There was only one artichoke heart on the whole salad. I also ordered bread with garlic butter. The bread was not warm, the garlic butter was good and ordered the beef Bolognese for my entrée which was OK but dry. Everything was just OK except for the service really was exceptionally poor for their prices. I will not be going back.

    Excellent customer service, great food, and cool decor. I love the motorcycles ghat separate the dining room from the bar area. We ordered a Ceasar salad, garlic cheese bread, lasagna, and a margherita pizza. I appreciate the freshly dressed Caesar salad however it was overdressed and very lemony. But the saltiness of the parmesan cheese and the croutons was a nice complement to the salad. The garlic cheese bread was yummy, but I wish it had more cheese. I loved the crunchiness of the crust and the somewhat soft yet crisp bread center. The lasagna was amazing. It was meaty and cheesy. The Margherita pizza was different. We thought it was going to be the traditional pie, with a tomato base, sliced mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and fresh basil however this was completely untraditional. The crust was good. It had a white sauce, cheese and diced tomatoes on top. It looked different, tastes different, but was surprisingly delicious. We would have loved to try desserts but already had somewhere else in mind so we skipped. Overall, I would go back again.

    We found this place on RESY and made a reservation on that platform. We wanted to use our dining credits that come with the American Express Gold cards and this seemed like a great place to try great Italian food. We took the 11:00 slot and we were the first to be seated. We were seated right by the fireplace and it was cozy, warm, and welcoming. The interior was very unique with various racing themes and motorcycles on the center wall. Service was friendly and responsive. Ordered items: 1. Lavender Lemonade - from non-alcoholic drinks menu 2. Veloce Signature Meatballs Garlic Cheese Bread - from Happy Hour menu 3. Caprese - from Happy Hour menu 4. Dungeness Scallopini - from full menu 5. Gino - from full menu 6. Tiramisu We thoroughly enjoyed all the items. I loved the meatballs so much. They were so tasty that I almost regretted not ordering from the full menu. Caprese was very flavorful and fresh. My favorite was Dungeness Scallopini and the portion was pretty generous. It had a nice balance of myriad of seafood and vegetables and the alfredo sauce was a perfect blanket of both fettuccine pasta and all the toppings. It was unique (to me anyway) and delicious. Gino was also pretty unique and to us, it was on the saltier side but we still enjoyed the dish. We didn't finish this one and took it home. I loved my Lavender Lemonade, also unique to me. Tiramisu was not too great but still delicious for us to end our meal with.

    Bolognese
    Alex N.

    Out of all the places in the totem lake plaza, this gotta be the best especially for the price. The pasta is seasoned better than most of the broccoli head bois out there lifting at 24hr fitness afterschool. Def recommend getting the pizza thin crust cause it did remind me of the thickness of school lunch pizza in a good way. Service was fast but def weird about the not warm/toasted bread. Wait on a Friday night was like 40 mins so be prepped. Bulk approved

We had some great conversations while I was enjoying my order. I got an Irish coffee and a slice of banana cream pie. Don't judge... the combo was awesome! The coffee had just the right flavor balance and made for a great nightcap. The slice of pie was bigger than I was expecting and it was delicious! Smooth and creamy! The bananas were an ideal ripeness. I'm already looking forward to my next trip back to Woodinville! Great service, great drinks, great pie!!!

    I've been to Wilridge Pie Wine Bar twice now and absolutely love Chef Brad's sweet and savory pies…read more On the first visit, I went with Marie B., fellow Yelp Elite for the Friends & Family event. I enjoyed the Chicken Pot Pie and GF Chocolate Decadence, both were amazing. The crust was flakey and filling was generous. The dessert lived up to its name. On my 2nd visit, I put in a to go order for the Steak & Ale Pot Pie and the Coconut Cream Pie. Oh my ... I am a fan of coconut cream pie, especially the Tom Douglas variety. Chef Brad's version definitely gets high marks for it's flakey crust, creamy coconut filling topped with Chantilly cream. The Steak & Ale Pot Pie warmed up in the air fryer came out well. It's a tasty pie with generous amount of tender beef with peas and carrots. I'm convinced that any pie I get here is going to be delicious and satisfying.

We chose our seat at a table for two and were instructed on the process of tasting chocolates and wine. We met the owner of Brugge Chocolates and, of course, the Wine Geek himself, Bob Delf. Each came around multiple times throughout the tasting to see how we were doing and to discuss the varieties. Both were charming and very nice. The tastings came with $15 credits for any bottles we purchased that day as well as a nicely decorated box of 4 chocolate truffles per person. We ended up buying some great tasting wines - The 2018 Madrigal (a blend of 3 varieties) and a Rose. I have been to NW Cellars previously and LOVE the Malbec and bought a bottle at that time. This place is hidden in back of a strip mall in the Totem Lake area and is worth a visit. Bob is a nice person who makes his own wines and really loves what he does. Give this place a try!!
