The grilled cheese w/ tomato soup was divine. I saw one review that said it was big enough for two and didn't take it seriously, please take me seriously! Or at the very least, order it and eat it before getting an entre on top of a 'small plate'. The truffle pasta was alright but nothing special. The tiramisu tasted good but the ratio was off. Barely any lady finger at the bottom and just a whole lot of cream, which makes sense since it's made to order. Overall, I'd say "get the grilled cheese, split it and if you really like tiramisu, get it" but it tastes the same as any other tiramisu. Ambiance was nice, if you go on a weekday you can usually avoid the line too!
Stopped by on Friday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. It's a small restaurant with only a few tables, but a really cute set up. The menu is pretty small but they have a good selection. I had the manchego pasta and it was good! 4/5, but pretty heavy so I didn't finish it even though it was a pretty small bowl. The olives were great and I don't normally like olives! They offered bread and oil for us to start, one piece each, but offered to bring more once it was empty. The waitress did some seem like she wanted to be there but did a fine job with the service. I would come back to try the cheese appetizers but I wasn't overly impressed. It was a solid meal but nothing really stood out to me!
Once again, a bit late, but revisited Cheese Room in April for Spring Restaurant Week and the food was just as good as I remember. This time we swung by right at 5PM and were seated immediately, but there was a line out the door by the time we left. Parking isn't the most fun in the area, but it's worth the hassle trust. Burrata was just as delicious, though the tomatoes were a lot more marinated / acidic than I remember. A bit much to eat straight, but with the complimentary focaccia, it was a home run! Campanelle and Malfadine were once again the perfect texture and just coated in luxurious, perfectly seasoned sauces. The mushroom just edged out the lamb for me this time, but both are must try's. Pistachio Ice Cream was super luxurious and I normally hate uncooked olive oil over my sweets and drinks, but it just really added to the smooth mouthfeel without the almost bitter kick I was expecting. Tons of crunchy pistachio throughout to break up the texture; just a nice satisfying end to the meal.
All of the dishes were really well made, that was the best grilled cheese I've ever had. The tomato soup reminded me of Trader Joe's creamy tomato soup but it was very good and the bread was perfectly toasted yet not too hard that it hurts to chew/bite. It is the Cheese room so the pasta was very rich and creamy. I found out through the menu and googling after that it's Korean owned and you can feel it in certain dishes! I loved all the scallions in the Menchago pasta. I also like how the menu has a smaller plates section because even though they're "smaller" I think their portion is still very filling! Service is so kind and attentive, and the food came at a reasonable rate, but the food didn't feel overdone or rushed at all. The tiramisu dessert was interesting, I'm used to the lady fingers/bottom being soft but this one was crunchy, hard, and the cream was pretty thick. If wasn't my favorite to be honest but everything else was delightful. This restaurant is so cozy and I can definitely understand the hype, especially once it becomes night time and they have candles by every table for ambiance. Our table was a little wobbly by the corner with a wall and window. Although the space is on the smaller side I think they utilize it well, there's plenty of seating, even with larger groups, and is pretty cozy.
No parking nearby, street or garage parking are available though. The overall vibe of this restaurant is nice, romantic, and is in a convenient area if you're looking to walk around cap hill. Our favorites were the burrata (as many folks recommended), the Campanella and lasagna, big fan of lasagna. Our bartender was great and friendly, everything came out quickly and was delicious. For our half it was 110 with 2 drinks 2 dishes and the burrata side.
Come for decadent pasta dishes, and with an empty stomach! The ambiance is so cute in here! Came with a friend but it would be a cozy date spot too. The waitstaff was really nice and it was a great dining experience. I just wish I had come more hungry! After a day of eating across Seattle I wasn't hungry enough to fully devour the meal. The burrata was really unique, I have never seen burrata with pesto and marinated balsamic tomatoes before, and it was a very rich flavor profile. It was delicious and fun to make flavor combo bites with the bread it was served with. I got the vodka pasta, and it was a bit underwhelming. With thick bits of tomato it really tasted more like a more typical red sauce, and the torn mozzarella on top felt like an after thought flavor/texture wise. So, it was not my favorite. But I liked everything else about the meal, so I will definitely go back and try another dish next time I am in Seattle!
Interior deco presentation down the dishes ate down sooohard. Server was rlly nice and the grilled cheese was best ive ever had! Everything is super cheesy so if ur a fan def recommend
This restaurant was a wonderful surprise. I found it on Yelp and began to do my due diligence. Checked out the reviews on both Yelp and Google and ultimately decided that this is how I want to spend my evening with my hubby. Food was freaking amazing. From the complementary bread and olive oil to the tomato bisque and grilled cheese sandwich, then the amazing brussels sprouts salad (not pictured) and then finally the parpadella with meat sauce. Everything was so delicious and it came out popping hot, which is really important to me. It was perfect for a date night, small, intimate seating with candles on the table including these wonderful cute old-fashioned saucers that they give you an along with your small glass of water. Service was also top tier. My husband and I arrived during a busy time and it looked like it was gonna be a 20 to 30 minute wait but the hostess asked if we were mind waiting for her to check.. We're glad she did cause there was a table just waiting for us. The waitperson was attentive and ready to answer our questions. It was very nice. We will definitely go again. The only downside to this restaurant is the parking this restaurant is located on Pine Ave., Pine Street and the parking street parking is horrible. We drove around I think three times before we just made the decision to pay for parking.
Pasta is very good texture I like ts to have some real BITE and they deliver on that. Free bread goated, clearly very nice quality ingredients from cheese to the fresh tomatoes you can't go wrong with their menu
Came here a second time now hoping it would be better than before. But it's the same the pastas are kinda bland and really heavy. But if you like heavy cheesey pasta I guess it's for you. The only thing my party liked was the burrata cheese and I'll only come back for that tbh. It paired well with the free bread they give you. The service was okay..we had to wait for a longggg time to get water and no one was checking up on us and the guy didn't seem happy to be there lol.
Quality/Quantity - Focaccia Bread - This was so good that we asked for an extra order. Cheese Platter - 3 cheeses; parmesan (not sure why my daughter ordered this...?), gouda, and manchego. Burrata Cheese - This, in my opinion, was the hit of the meal!! I highly recommend getting this. The tomatoes were also so ripe, sweet, juicy, etc! Lobster Ravioli - Our guest finished her dish. Rigatoni Vodka Sauce - My daughter's dish and she did not like it, so my wife switched with her. Campanelle Truffle Sauce - My wife's choice, but daughter ended up eating most if not all of it. So good. Parpadelle Ragu Bianco - My dish, this could and should have been cooked another minute. Slightly raw. Ambiance - Very small location. Only one table for a party of 6. Service - Good. Price - $132 + tip; includes a 3% credit card charge. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.
One thing that a lot of restaurants don't do well is truffle oil. This is not one of those restaurants! I usually avoid truffle dishes but fell in love with their truffle pasta. I've yet to find love for prosciutto, but I'm sure I'm in the minority. Only complaint that I had was that the penne in marinara came out nearly boiling and it took about 10 minutes to be edible. Service was mostly attentive, and the bartender was very knowledgeable. Would recommend for takeout or occasional date nights.
Great experience here! The burrata is delicious and I love the pesto and amount of tomatoes on it. Highly recommend the grilled cheese, it is rich and well balanced with the tomato soup. The pasta is good too, but the menu items with burrata and cheese really shine.

Cheese Room Seattle is as cozy and inviting as it appears to be offering a very international menu, paired with an intentionally memorable dining experience. My husband and I have been eyeing Cheese Room Seattle for a few months, but have been hesitant because I couldn't find how to book reservation. Having three little children whom we want to experience dining out early verses learning later, requires planning and reservations help prepare the establishments prior to our arrival. My wonderful husband contacted the manager and reserved us a table that perfectly accommodated our party. Our servers were excellent, and extremely attentive. I greatly appreciate their kindness, service accommodations, and order suggestions. The mimolette jeune was the absolute best and very filling salad I have ever had in my life (I order one to go.) My husband, and children really enjoyed their pasta dishes and of course the grilled cheese. We will definitely return, and highly recommend! read more

This place has been on my list for a long time and when I heard it had recently reopened I finally made it in. The welcome was a little rocky -- there was a host at the door but they didn't acknowledge us at all, no "be right with you" or anything, just busy running around. A bit of an odd first impression. Someone eventually came and we were seated fairly quickly after that. One thing to know: no AC. On a hot day it was genuinely stuffy and uncomfortable, especially on the ground floor. We got seated upstairs which felt a bit better, but I'd strongly recommend coming in cooler weather to fully enjoy the cozy atmosphere. Food-wise, the standout was the salad -- really flavorful, well-balanced, and lots of interesting textures. The burrata with the confit tomatoes was good too. The pastas were solid -- good chew and well cooked -- but didn't wow me. The lasagna felt like it was leaning more on the meat than the sauce, and the other pasta was fine but forgettable. Service was decent overall. Cozy spot with charm, but not somewhere I'd rush back to. Worth a try, just maybe wait for winter when the atmosphere can actually shine. read more

TLDR: Went for Seattle restaurant week menu. 3 course for $35. Speedy service because we went in the middle of the week right at open. My roommate and I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a year now. It's a great date spot with intimate tables and bar seating. However, also some wall lined seats that would be great for solo dinners. The appetizers were my favorite part. Burrata is served with pesto and balsamic marinated tomatoes. Every bite was full of flavor. Although , I wish there was less pesto and more of the cheese. Needed more focaccia bread to finish it off. Salad had three types of olives BUT the salad was not overwhelmed with olive juice flavor. Gave the salad more depth. The entrees were supposed to have a chili sauce but we couldn't taste it (no spice or oil flavor at all). The gnocchi was a melt in your mouth bite but the sauce was soupy and plain. The basque cheesecake was more dense than other basques I've had, and I liked the caramelized taste on the crust. Tiramisu was not my favorite. It's "made to order" so the lady fingers are still crispy and the rum and coffee sauce is strong and quite bitter. Unsure if I'd go back for the full price menu. read more

Dare I say one of the BEST Italian restaurants I've been to?! I stumbled upon this gem last year with my boyfriend and have been craving it ever since. I'm from LA so I come up to visit my bf and aside my bf... this is what I'm looking forward to most! The free focaccia bread with olive oil is such a hit and the fact that it's refillable is insane. Warm and fluffy... and BITE SIZE (I have a small mouth so convenient for me heh) The Burrata Cheese and the Grana Padano (Truffle) Pasta was the best. Every other restaurant me and my boyfriend have had with Burrata does not compare, PLUS other restaurants overcharge like crazy. I'm not too sure if the prices here are super cheap either, but the quality and taste make every cent count. I'm not an expert so I can't really give the best details or a professional stance, but that burrata was so fresh and flavorful. The pasta was cooked perfectly, a little firm and chewy, mmmm how they cook the pasta really does something. The flavor wasn't overpowering at all and the prosciutto was a great complement to the dish. Ate here on Sunday, so sad they're closed Monday and Tuesday, I'd literally eat Cheese Room for a couple days straight. Anyway, this is a genuine review and after seeing other reviews that made me huff and puff a little, I thought I'd like to say my take on one of my favorite eats in Seattle (: read more
We've been here twice now, and while both experiences were great overall, the wait times were definitely a mixed bag. Our *first visit* was later in the day with a big party, and we were pleasantly surprised to be seated in just 5 minutes. On our *second visit*, we showed up right at opening and ended up waiting nearly an hour and a half--so just a heads-up that timing can be hit or miss. The food is perfect for sharing, which made it fun to order a bunch of dishes and try a bit of everything. The variety on the menu made it hard to choose (in a good way), and everything we tried was tasty. Also, shoutout to the dishware, it's absolutely adorable! I actually had to Google the brand afterward and might be ordering some for myself. Overall, a solid spot for anyone who likes to share plates and try a little of everything. Just be prepared for a wait, especially during peak hours. read more
These portion sizes are deceivingly small. When i first received it I was a little disappointed by how small the bowl was, but it was actually the perfect size and I was stuffed by the end! I think the restaurant is a very fun concept and thoroughly enjoyed my pasta (prosciutto, mushroom, black truffle pasta). I also like that they serve complimentary bread and olive oil! read more
Wow, what an incredible restaurant! Every menu item revolves around cheese. I came here with a friend, and for us it was an easy, fast walk from the convention center. We sat with a nice view of the street. The restaurant has a cozy vibe. Service was fantastic. We were checked on often and it didn't take long for our food to come out. I had the lobster bisque ravioli, and in all truth, this is one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. It had such depth and nuance, and the freshness of the corn and dill were amazing. I had a local cider from Yonder with it. My friend loved his food, too. We both ate every bite. I raved about this place to other friends at the convention, and they made plans to go, too. read more
-1 star because the service was kind of slow. We felt like the waiter was kind of ignoring us since they attended the other tables and then circled back to us, but that's okay because we weren't in a rush to go anywhere Food: The pasta was perfectly al dente and it was so good. Every bite was literally so flavorful. We also got the tiramisu and wasn't expecting it to be that big. The espresso was bitter, but the cream really balanced it out Overall: Would go again, but during their happy hour to try more of their foods! This place has a really good happy hour menu, but we missed it by a couple minutes read more

Went for SRW $35 for app, entree, and dessert Excellent burrata salad, tomatoes were so juicy and naturally sweet Meatballs was paired with mascarpone cheese to dip with bread and it was so yummy Truffle Campanelle was pretty good Lamb malfadine was too gamy -- wasn't our vibe. Tiramisu and basque cheesecake were delish By the end of the meal I had so much cream I felt pretty heavy lol read more
Came on a Saturday super last minute & managed to snag a 3 person seat at the bar. Based off the photos I saw, I was excited to get fluffy focaccia bread and oil to start but I was a bit surprised to find that they gave us two of the thinnest slices of bread, each slice cut in 3 smaller ones. We also ordered the meatball appetizer, which came with thin slices of bread as well. I find it so odd when restaurants give such small amounts of bread to parties with 2+ people, esp when the dish comes with 3 meatballs!! Thankfully, we asked for more bread (at no extra charge) and it came nice and toasted. The meatballs were moist, salty and super flavorful!! With a spoonful of the cheese... so good, just wish we got more bread and didn't have to ask for more. I felt awkward asking the server for more bread because although it was pretty busy, I feel like she would place an item down and immediately turn her back and walk away from us. Definitely don't get checked on too often if you come here at peak time... (which I totally understand, but I don't like feeling like I'm being avoided!!) Along with w/ the meatballs, we got the campanelle truffle pasta and the parpadelle ragu blanco. Like other reviews have stated, the bowls are deceptively small & I do feel like you actually get a good amount of pasta. I was definitely satiated after the meal. I love the pile of shredded cheese that melts right into your pasta. For the campanelle truffle pasta, I wish that they had salt and pepper at the table though, because I do feel like while the cream pasta base was good, it lacked flavor besides cream, even with the truffles? (I guess they might not add salt due to the addition of the proscuttio?). The parpadelle ragu blanco was cooked sooo al dente that it was kind of hard. The sauce was sooo soupy and also a bit plain and one dimensional besides creamy as well. read more

This cap hill corner restaraunt might be a seattle gem. So much character. Somehow they have exceptional service from super chill and very lowkey capable servers. Everything on the menu is cheese based and tastes darn good. Best part is they aren't scared of variety which mean meat lovers have options... I mean, if you know how to do math then thats what it means. Lol. The portions aren't exactly huge so you'll probably want an appetizer and a bottle of wine. I mean, its a cheese place, just get the wine asap and sip the night away while you indulge in well selected and yummy cheeses offered in various forms. They do give you free bread and oil, but its nothing to rave about like everything else they offer which is very well priced I might add again. This is one of those places I look forward to coming back to. Everything we ordered was spot on. Our date night was accidentally made perfect thanks to these guys. I almost want to kick myself for waiting so long. This place was in my restaurant Q for half a year. Cheers to restaraunts like this... read more

It would have been nice to stay to try the food, but I just couldn't. The bartender working 2/21/25 was just so extremely off-putting that it felt like we were just not wanted or welcomed. He seemed to have trouble making eye contact with the people in my party which was concerning. The menu looks promising, but all the items marked with a "V" for vegetarian contain meat.

i tried the cheese room for seattle restaurant week. i was with a large group of eight people, so we had to book our reservation through their website. they responded quickly and it was a really easy process, which was nice. they don't usually do reservations i don't think -- it was only because our group was so big. the interior of the place is quite cozy and could be romantic on the right occasion. dimmed lights, white tablecloths, the works. we had a server who was nice, but it was really busy inside, so he wasn't able to be super attentive. every item on the menu is made with a specific cheese in mind. the cheeses come from anywhere, such as the USA, italy, or france. my favourite part of the meal was the first course: the burrata. that looks like the favourite of most of the reviews, too, and for good reason. the cheese was matched perfectly well with huge balsamic confit tomatoes and a wonderful basil pesto, topped off with olive oil. for my entrée, i got the mozzarella-based dish - vodka sauce over rigatoni, mixed with sun-dried tomatoes and shrimp. it was really good, but definitely something i could make at home. lastly, i wanted to talk about the dessert. i got the mascarpone-based dessert, which was tiramisu, of course. i am a huge tiramisu lover. however, the tiramisu here was not good. there was wayyy too much rum in it - not that i don't like rum, but this was just overwhelming. it took over the entire flavour of the dessert, so much that i couldn't finish it. i'm hoping it was a fluke, because i otherwise enjoyed my meal. next time, i may be inclined to try another dish that is perhaps more "adventurous" (i normally am a more adventurous eater), but a lot of the entrées have mushrooms in them. i am unfortunately allergic to mushrooms. while what i ordered was basic, it was tasty enough to warrant another visit. thanks cheese room, i'll be back! read more

I came on a sunday at 4:30 pm and there was no wait. The interior is very homey and you can partially see the kitchen which is nice to see. There were bread refills, but because they freshly toast it, it can take a while to get. I liked the confit tomatoes and the pesto on top of the burrata, but I think the ratio was a bit off; there wasn't enough cheese. The ravioli wasn't super filled and was pretty doughy. The grilled cheese on its own did not have much flavor and got soggy fast due to the high water content in the cheese. I think I prefer sharper cheeses in my grilled cheese, and a grilled cheese that tastes good even without the tomato soup. read more
Their burrata is the best thing ever with the pesto and braised tomatoes!!! The salad with artisan lettuce was also sooo good with the cheese and nutty dressing! Came in for restaurant week and it was $35 per person for 3 entrees each - it was plenty of food snd perfect for sharing! The malfadine pasta was ok, the noodles were perfect but the cheese was on the stinkier side, so very rich. The atmosphere is so cozy and seats get filled really quick! Highly recommend just coming in as soon as they open and have an early dinner! read more

came here during seattle restaurant week. food was good for what it was but nothing crazy. the portion is p solid for the price (think it was like $35/person). star of the show was the gelato (not pictured); the olive oil and pistachios were soooo good on it. appetizers were also portioned well -- my friend & i went ham on the burrata with pesto with the bread. space is small but cozy and warm. we were seated upstairs p quickly and appreciated the quick service despite how packed it was. read more
I'm a huge cheese lover and have been meaning to try this place out. We started with a small cheese plate...we chose the camembert, aged gouda and grana padano, all very good but I really enjoyed the gouda. Salty and melts in your mouth. The pepper jam was also really good. We also got their grilled cheese and tomato bisque. Might be best I've had. The bread and cheese ratio was perfect for me and the bisque was thick and creamy. It could be a meal on its own! The service was quick and easy going, everyone was welcoming and pleasant to interact with. The servers were nice and helpful, the bartender made my Manhattan perfect. For mains we had the lasagna and malfadine. Both were really good. Hot and fresh. The lasagna was bubbling and we appreciate the chopped veggies in there. The sauces and cheese were delicious. The malfadine has a lamb sausage that was good and the sauce was creamy and stuck to the noodles well. They also give you a little foccacia bread to start. We left so full and satisfied, ready for a nap! Would definitely recommend and look forward to going back! We got a window table for 2, it was lovely especially with the window cracked and that nice breeze flowing through. It was a perfect Seattle evening in the high 60s. read more
Cozy and rustic eatery in an inviting atmosphere with friendly service. Obviously, if you love cheese, you should come here! The cheese is light and delicious and the pasta is fresh and chewy. I especially loved the truffle pasta - flavors and textures were solid. I do think the bread was a bit on the dry side however. read more
I've come here several times since they opened, and I enjoy the food very much! For appetizers, their burrata is the best I've ever had. If it's a cold, wet day consider the grilled cheese sandwich. I know, I know - I was skeptical about ordering a grilled cheese at an Italian restaurant, but the owner suggested I try it. And this was ... the platonic ideal of a grilled cheese sandwich. The crunchy grilled bread had a wonderful texture, and the cheese was wonderfully gooey. It comes with a cup of tomato soup perfect for dunking. I've tried and enjoyed several of the pasta dishes - the Campanella is still my favorite, with a wonderful rich taste from the mushrooms. Dessert has a few tasty options. The tiramisu is crispy and not too sweet. The pistachio gelato comes with olive oil, a nice touch. The frozen goat cheese with pears, nuts and berries is my favorite. I've never had anything quite like it! read more

This place took over a previous pasta place, Machiavelli. The space is p small but can accommodate one large party and various 2-4 person tables. We did a Galentines with some of my friends and was able to catch some of the happy hour. They have some wine deals and also $2 off pastas. It's already a pretty affordable deal for pasta so $2 off is even better. We also had the three cheese plate and honestly we were a bit disappointed at the size of it :/ Service was good. Could tell the two servers were running around. Obviously this place is hard to find parking for. So definitely budget some time! read more

I love cheese I love pasta I love bread. I visited for a galentines dinner at about 6 and the place was just starting to fill up. The restaurant is super tiny and cozy. Evenings here are intimate and quite dark, which doesn't make for great food pics, but that's okay. We ordered the meatballs as appetizer, the gnocchi, papperdelle, lobster ravioli, and the pasta with the lamb sausage. Meatballs were a hiiiiit. Meat was fabulously tender and flavorful. Comes with a light crème which is a nice pairing to the strong flavors of the meatball. Focaccia bread was served fresh from the oven and was pretty good too. Pasta was a hit or miss tbh. The gnocchi and papperdelle were really good. Balanced flavors, perfectly cooked pasta, didn't feel too heavy. The ravioli and lamb ragu were misses. Ravioli was super salty, and the pasta wasn't evenly cooked. The lamb ragu was an interesting flavor, really strong. Overall, it was pretty good, but taking off a star because of some of the misses. Service was fine also. read more
