Gem lettuces: good, the pancetta was a nice touch. My favorite part of the meal. Burrata: also good, though abysmally presented and lackadaisically strewn across the plate. Wild boar tagliatelle: sweet and tasted like spaghetti-o sauce. Flank steak: we asked for medium rare, it was medium and like chewing on a boot. Focaccia: decent. We had the restaurant week menu. Pretty disappointing. The service wasn't great, they were understaffed, but friendly and helpful. Why 3 stars instead of 2? Great view and outdoors. Maybe have a salad and glass of wine outside before going elsewhere. But don't come here for a full dinner. I was fuming at the price even for restaurant week. I'm happy to spend money somewhere with worthwhile food. This wasn't it. read more

Met with some friends for a family dinner and it was a great experience! The waiter was able to handle 12 people all on his own with some minor assistance which was impressive. My friends order the fondue and they loved it. They serve it with bread and apples. For my main dish I had the ragú sauce and a pear tart for dessert. The big room for big parties does not provide a pretty view of the bay. If you seat in the main area you can see the bay and if you plan it right, you can catch the sunset. Perfect for a date! read more

Amazing experience at COMO this past Wednesday! I actually live just down the street but I had yet to try this place out as it seemed a bit fancy from the outside. We had a large group of 10 from work make reservations so we got to order an assortment of dishes. Our server was excellent. She was very attentive and efficient. While I was slightly disappointed they ran out of Osso Bucco, every other dish including the special short ribs was on par. Now I'll definitely have to come back to try their Osso Bucco! The decor is clean minimalist and the views are amazing. If you park, make sure to get your ticket validated by the host station to cover 1hr. Parking is $5/hr and we were there for just over 2 hrs. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTING. From the rude host, to the barely seen waiter, to the mediocre food, everything was a miss.

We had such a wonderful dinner experience here! We had the focaccia bread to start. Can't go wrong with focaccia. For our main course we tried the Tajarin and crab risotto. Both were absolutely delicious. Decent portion sizes. My favorite with the Tajarin. The noodles were light and flavorful, and the truffles were a perfect addition. For dessert we had the fragoline - a strawberry cake with a scoop of strawberry ice cream. Tasted super fresh! The location itself is beautiful. Right on Lake Washington. We were there on a gray day, but I'm sure the sunset views are phenomenal. Parking is in the parking garage just underneath. Como validates. Our server was friendly and balanced the perfect amount of checking in with us, refilling drinks, and giving us time to catch up. We were celebrating both of our birthdays and they brought out these gorgeous sparklers with our dessert. The whole experience made for a memorable birthday celebration. We left with full stomachs and full hearts. Thank you, Como! read more

Very average. I expected soooo much more. Our meal was extremely salty with overcooked pasta. Their servers were extremely slow and wait staff were not so friendly. Waited +10 minutes after seated for someone to acknowledge us. Our dining table was extremely wobbly. Tiny water glasses and no refills. View is excellent, grab a drink and skip the food. read more

Como is a cute spot for dinner. Restaurant is always busy, so highly recommend reservations, especially summer time! The restaurant is next to the lake and has a dock for boats to park at. It also has a patio, which is dog friendly. The ambience is very Italian feel. The service is good, no complaints there. For the food , I think that it was ok. Nothing spectacular. I ordered the salsiccia pizza. The pizza crust was thicker than expected and a bit soggy. Wasn't the Italian pizza style that I've had before. Others in the group got pasta. They definitely give bigger portions and could be shared family style. We also got appetizers. I would skip the tomato paste focaccia the next time since there wasn't really anything to it. read more

It's been a while since my last visit to Como and I am pleased to report that although people's reviews have been pretty hard on their service, they do seem to have it together as of this review. I chose Como as my birthday dinner spot and was so glad I did, it still gets very noisy and I wish there was a little more consideration by others to just chill on the screaming across the table but it took nothing away from the food so lets get to it! Charred Octopus 5/5 a beautiful dish with octopus, cannellini beans and beautifully dressed frisee but the star was the octopus and rightly so! It was by far the best cooked octopus I have had in a long long time and infused beautifully, hats off to the chef! Parsnip Soup 5/5 I can never say no to a parsnip soup and I rarely ever have soup with my dinner but this was beautifully done, perfection in everything and the hazelnuts just added a level of yum I was not expecting. Our waitress was so considerate that she brought over tiny little bowls so we could all share a little, so sweet! Funghi Pizza 5/5 I tell you what the fontina and scamorza are just... I don't think I can go back to regular pizza. Lovely pizza that did not pull any punches, the flavors indeed were smack you in the face good! Tajarin 5/5 I will never not order this delicate pasta, it made me fall in love with Como and I will continue to come just for this beauty of a dish Risotto Al Zafferano 5/5 surprise surprise... I was hoping for a good risotto dish and with three options I didn't know if I made the right decision, but oh wow the saffron infused risotto was beyond what I hoped for, you did not have to search for the saffron and the plump juicy prawns were plentiful. A great dish perfect for sharing Paccheri 5/5 Oh the family loved this one! The pasta was beautifully cooked and tossed in a savory delight of oxtail and chili, the stew itself was the star and the pasta just carried it home, very comforting without being heavy a beautiful plate of food All in all a great night at Como, I will say, a little tongue in cheek, that I had hoped to get a free birthday tiramisu but I WILL BE BACK, hopefully sooner than last time read more

Solid experience at Como for the first time. Beautiful views for the summer over the water and you can even take a lovely walk afterwards. Parking is hard to find - unless you want to pay. I came here for a table of 3 for dinner on a Saturday. We asked for a table outside to enjoy the views but it was full and we had to wait. Luckily we were offered a table in the "lounge" area where we could sit and enjoy a drink before hand. We ordered a variety of items to share - including burrata, pizza, pasta and some cocktails/wine. I thought most of the food was great, the prices are high for the portion sizing but overall an enjoyable experience. Drinks are also on the high-end of pricing despite being average/lower pricing elsewhere ($15 for an Aperol spritz). Service was also a bit lacking once we were moved outside. I think our waitress came by a few times but overall, left us alone and we had to wave someone down to place more drink orders. For everything we ordered, we paid $210 altogether before taxes and tip for 3 people (which is on the high end imo). read more

We decided to have Valentine's day dinner at Como. We love the view and and the location on the water. Definitely need reservations, we had reservations and were seated quickly. We got Chioggia Beets, Pappardelle, and Goat Cheese Tortellini. I also got Harry's Bellini and liked it a lot. The Chioggia Beets were great, loved the ricotta that came with it. Pappardelle came with wild boar ragu and has a little spice to it. It's one of the best wild boar preparations we have had in the Seattle area, recommend it. Goat Cheese Tortellini was great, the raisins were a pleasant surprise. For dessert we got Pan Di Spagna. We loved it, the chocolate hazelnut combo done right always works, this one was perfect. The chocolate gelato with it was amazing. We loved our meal and will be back for more. read more

The service and location at Como are definitely the highlights. It's right by the water with beautiful views, which makes it a great spot to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe is nice. That said, the food was disappointing, especially as someone who loves Italian food. The dishes lacked flavor and didn't quite live up to the setting or the price point. I really wanted to love this place because everything else is there, but the food just missed the mark for me. Worth visiting for the views and service, but I'd manage expectations when it comes to the food. read more

This was my second time visiting Como, my first visit was 2.5 years ago. After my first visit, while the view was spectacular I wasn't the biggest fan of the food. After my visit today, my opinion has totally changed! Como is an excellent spot with delicious dishes and the best views on the east side. While pricey, the quality of the ingredients are excellent and make a difference. The server was juggling multiple tables but did a great job. We sat outside until the sun set and got a bit chilly, they were very accommodating and move us inside. The outdoor space is fantastic! Overall enjoyed and looking forward to the next visit. Standouts: Calamari, Insalada Mista, Prosciutto, Truffle pasta, salmon read more

Tried this place couple years ago , and we loved everything, we came back and the menu has changed . The taste changed too . Service was great , can't complain about that . Atmosphere is really romantic for a date . But I'm kinda disappointed on some of the plates that came out . Specially the ravioli that they serve now . It's sitting in butter and super oily. The shrimp that came out with the pasta was not really fresh . It's a really good place but I think they changed their chef for sure . read more

Well, the restaurant is highly recommended by a good friend. I'm not sure if they don't have much choice, but it seems like they have really good restaurants in Bellevue so I was kind of surprised when they highly recommended it. I mean, I was surprised after dinner. Dinner was just OK, a little better than average. Not great. We had many of the starters, including the Dungeness crab salad. (it first came without the crab and we had to send it back.), Christine's with cheese, focaccia (not warm or fresh tasting), baked spinach(very good) , chickpea salad (very good), carpaccio (OK but wouldn't order again) We went on two pasta dishes, the boor (which was recommended, but too heavy for my taste), and the tagliarini with spot prawns (good taste, but way too few prawns) We finished with dessert of the crostata de pere (delicious pear, delicacy with a hard crust), and the ricotta pistachio cake. (which was also really amazing.) So on the Whole, service was a bit slow, but good, appetizers and entrées were overrated, and dessert was underrated. I can see why people like it, the setting is just gorgeous, overlooking a marina on a lake. Windows are open and you get the fresh breeze the whole time you're there. Fantastic location! Good luck with the food read more

Amazing experience at Como. Views, food and atmosphere were 10/10. Starting with the host (whose outfit was. 10/10 btw) we requested a waterfront table and he hooked us up! The food was amazing and Darelle was the best! She had great insights about the area and We let her know we were celebrating a birthday and she brought out a complimentary dessert. Picture perfect restaurant with great food. read more

Dining Experience was for dinner service for a party of 5 on May, 12 2025 (day after Mother's Day, and a College Graduation) with a OpenTable reservation for 7:00p. If Yelp had the option to give 0.5 or half ratings -- I would drop my rating to a 2.5 . Upon majority of the party entering the venue, the host was cheerful and kindly tried to accommodate the party when a window seat was requested. A little long of a wait, about 30 minutes (by the parties own willingness to forego other table arrangements) - we were seated with a nice view! The food options and wine selections were really well curated. The Burrata (additional cost for a bread pairing which we opted), Lopez Island Clams and charred octopus were paired nicely with a bottle of Chardonnay for appetizers. I had the Fusilli (Guanciale, Carrots, in Santo Crema) -- one of the best pastas I've had. Cook and flavor profile similar to dishes I've had in Italy. The food is exceptional. The reason for 3/5 stars (well, 2.5) is because the service did not match the quality of the food therefore the integrity of the atmosphere and the view from the window was spoiled. Our Server had a really unappealing aura about him -- a cold shoulder if you will. Also, seemed annoyed when questions were asked about the menu and if some adjustment could be accommodated (since I was dining with out-of-state guests). When responses were provided, it was with a snarky attitude. When dishes started to arrive at the table - bread was dropped first by a food runner with no explanation -- we were confused on if it was complimentary or the ala cart (additional cost) bread so we waited till our Server came around to ask the question -- his snarky reply was "that's the bread you ordered, you wanted bread right?". 2 stars for the service by the hostess and food runner actually doing their job and providing the necessary customer service in relation to that job. As the night continued, another bottle of wine and desserts all around were also ordered. Needless to say some money was dropped for my party of 5 totaling to over $400 not including tip. I was DISGUSTED by the Servers lack of patience, effective communication, friendliness and empathy. At one point, I felt like it was because my entire party was Asian. As much as this was a memorable time and meal for my family and I -- I would not dine here again or recommend this establishment to anybody. I encourage people to spend their money at other establishments were you know the payment you are making is going to a business that deserves it because the food, service and atmosphere align with the integrity of their vision and/ or mission. Como, your service was in fact NOT STELLAR. read more

Excellent food, breathtaking views, first class service, and creative cocktails, Como is a gem. Every seat in the house has a view of the lake, and the overall ambience is perfect for a date night or get together with friends. Get reservations and come hungry, the only downside will be having to choose a small part of the menu. read more

The view is gorgeous! My friend and I came here for dinner and we were so glad to catch the sunsetting. We thought our dishes were just okay. A lot of the times we thought they lacked in flavor. We ordered the grilled octopus as an appetizer to share. The octopus was wonderfully cooked but was carried heavily in flavor by the sauce. I ordered the Pappardelle which didn't stand out for me- a typical red sauce pasta dish. My friend ordered the crab risotto which was quite good but very strong lemon notes. The star of the show was the ricotta pistachio cake for dessert. The cake was so moist which paired perfectly well with the ricotta cream and it wasn't overly sweet. I would go back just to try all the desserts! Staff was kind but it did get busy shortly after we were seated. The ambiance of the restaurant was also a bit too dark for my preference. read more

We had an incredible time at Como last night. It was our first time there and the staff did not disappoint. Spectacular food: pizza, pork bellies, cod, risotto, pappardelle and salads. Excellent. The dessert platters were a great way to end the night. Five star all the way. Special note about our primary server, Kyle, who is the hardest working man in restaurants!!! Another shout out to Stefano (hope I spelled that right. Hope to be back soon. Thanks again. read more

My fiancé took me here for my birthday, we sat out on the patio which had a stunning view of the water -- cocktails were fantastic but the food was quite salty and bland. The service felt rushed to bring each dish out, where we could enjoy each bite. I would definitely come back for a glass of wine or cocktails but would not recommend bites. read more

3 out of 5 - food options are great but service is ok. We went yesterday for anniversary and did mention the same in our reservation but dint feel any special. The next table's server treated them like wow with dessert sparklers for the same celebration. I wish the server paid a bit of personalized attention. The owner (a gentleman) came around the table asking how the food was, I hope the service gets attention as food is great. Here is what we ordered Fried artichoke- yumm but the dipping sauce had a weird tanginess, chilli aioli. Focaccia - soft but ok Pizza- funghi, was good. Had a cheese burst effect. Ravioli- kids size and yummy Rissotto- creamy and yumm. Husband ordered Dungeness crab which he said was very good. Tiramisu was 10/10 which made our moments spent memorable. You get coffee and coco tinge. This place is a date worthy soot but just for one time visit, won't come back until the service gets better. read more

Kirkland Lake Mediterranean style Western food The restaurant is spacious and bright with a relaxed atmosphere I thought it was just a good-looking Internet celebrity restaurant, but I didn't expect the taste to be a force Happy and leave with a 22% tip Next time I'm here, I want to wear a little dress and sunglasses and sit outside No photo p is all real live, my order: $29 truffle pizza Yes, they don't eat mushrooms but they do eat truffles Lombardian-inspired pizza is a first try The pizza was topped with a suitably salty Parma ham on the cheese The truffle cream is still bubbling, slightly melted And a couple of loose, dry truffle slices The overall flavor is very rich, one of my favorite dishes clams $19 The tomato is very strong like borscht after the juice is collected It's served with sausage and a little bit of wine Roast pork belly 19 knives The top is crunchy and chunky Here's the marmalade flavor of the apple sour and sweet It tastes fresh and greasy, even apricot pork and tomato spaghetti 25 The wide noodles are firm but not as stiff as traditional pasta The noodles soak up the meat of the boar ragu sauce and the acidity of the CALABRIAN sauce It doesn't feel heavy with a little cheese cocktail $12 Their wine is fun to drink with your eyes closed Ordered ALMOST TINI and MISS BEHAVE One was gin with raspberry syrup and lemon juice One was tequila with lime and orange liqueur I've got pepper and salt on my straw, so I'm drinking at sunset read more

Wife and I went to grab a drink at the bar section. Our plan was to get a drink at Como and then go downstairs to El Encanto for food. We were seated by the furnace in the cool bar area, and then ignored for 15-20 minutes. We got up and left the property. Went to another restaurant in downtown Kirkland. read more

We had such a lovely experience at Como! We came on a weekday evening and, even then, there was a wait -- which already says a lot about how popular this place is. We requested to sit outside on the patio and were kindly informed that it would be about a 40-minute wait. That was totally fine with us -- the area is beautiful for a walk, right by the waterfront, so we just enjoyed the view while we waited. Exactly 40 minutes later, just like they promised, we got a text that our table was ready. We came back and were seated right away. Our server was originally from Italy and he was absolutely delightful -- incredibly polite, charming, and attentive. We ordered two pasta dishes and a truffle pizza. Everything tasted amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant, and the view at sunset was truly magical. All the staff were warm and welcoming, and the whole experience just felt special. This is a high-quality restaurant, but not pretentious. Prices were totally fair for the level of food and service -- definitely affordable for the average person looking for a nice evening out. Highly recommend! We will definitely be coming back. read more

Good food but location is everything! Drinks were amazing. For antipasti we got the Burrata, Fresh Favas, Baby fried artichokes, and a focaccia type bread with cheesy sundried tomato topping. The fried artichokes were good but smothered in a very buttery sauce. A tad too buttery but no complaints. Fresh favas was very fresh; good item to order on a warm day. Focaccia was good too. Burrata had bacon so I didn't try that but some of my other friends liked it. For main we got the morel mushrooms pizza! It was great!! But the icing on the cake was the dessert. We got the pistachio cake and the Crostata di Pere. Outstanding. Service was great; and the location can't be beat. The lake looked like a picture frame!!!! I can imagine how beautiful this would be on a sunny day. We unfortunately went on an overcast, windy day but still loved the water view. read more

We went on a weeknight to celebrate my friend's birthday and I am obsessed with their ambience. Lighting was dimmed perfectly, restaurant had a great view of the lake, and the food and drinks were amazing. Not pictured but we started with a couple drinks for the table. I got the espresso martini and they were frickin delicious!! When we ordered food, we also asked for wine pairings from our server and he was very attentive. For food, we started with the clams as a starter and my bf and I shared the truffle pizza and the carbonara. Everything on the menu is so good and I cannot wait to come back during the day and try other food items while enjoying the view read more

Ok others have said it but that will not stop me from reiterating that the view here is spectacular! We sat outside on a beautiful sunny day and wow! It's just amazing. Ok now on to the food and service. Our server was attentive and knowledgable - no complaints here! For our appetizer, we tried the sautéed calamari and a side of focaccia. The calamari was sautéed with garlic with a fresh tomato base. It was unique and not your typical fried calamari. We dipped the focaccia in the sauce ( slightly spicy) and it was so good! I saw most tables ordered this dish. For our entrees, the winner was the tajarin with truffle which was phenomenal. The boar pappardelle was also good but I've had better. The pumpkin ravioli was also delicious. Overall I'd rate it at 4 stars for food and 5 stars for ambience. read more

Popular spot with long wait times. However, you can make a reservation in advance. Clean, modern design that opens up to a patio of beautiful Lake Washington views. Menu is to the point and offers a variety of classic Italian dishes. The food is great. I wouldn't say remarkable, holding back that last star for 5 stars but I did enjoy my truffle pizza. The other people in my group got buffalo mozzarella and a spicy sauce pasta. We also ordered espresso martinis and a Pinot Grigio. We ended the night with a tiramisu. Server did not come by too often, but just enough. Gave me a European vibe in the sense that we weren't rushed to place the order or finish our meal, which is honestly refreshing in the U.S. The bathroom has 2 stalls and is clean. The restaurant gives lovely romantic Italian vibes, especially at night. Seems super intimate for a date night, but can also be a great spot to go with friends and family to enjoy the views for golden hour or brunch/lunch. There's plenty of parking around - mostly paid garages if you want to be close to the restaurant. Free parking is a further walk. Give this place a try! I know I'll be back for the stunning views. read more

Como is by far the best Italian we have had in the area. The view is exquisite. The service was on point. We started off at the bar, as we arrived early, and had great drink recommendations. I attempted to order a mocktail and was surprised by the offer of NA vodka. The drink was amazing. As were all of our others. We ordered focaccia bread to start, followed by a Ndjua pizza, gnocchi al Telefonica, wild boar pappardelle and Chitarra Alla Amatriciana. We finished off our amazing meal with the Tiramisu. The reviews were read before hand all suggested we try it and they were all spot on. We had an amazing night, have already recommended the restaurant and will be back. read more

Good food with even better views. For appetizers, we ordered the calamari and beef carpaccio. The calamari is tossed in a tomato sauce that is light and refreshing. They also brought us focaccia bread; this tasted stale, and we did not realize that this was something they charged for until we got the bill. We also ordered the risotto with crab meat, which ended up being my favorite dish. It was very creamy and cheesy. The pappardelle was also good; the wild boar did not taste gamey at all. read more

AHHHHH the Service was so bad, we didn't even know our waitress' name . No hello, how are you- or check ins. No water refills. They also forgot the bread. My friend spilled water so we went up to the hostess (since our waitress didn't check on us once) to ask for a cloth. 20 mins passed, nothing. Apparently, after my friend had alerted the hostess, she checked her phone and went back to doing nothing. GUYS I wish I was joking . I went up and kindly asked if she was able to get the cloth/paper towel. Finally, another waitress brought us the cloth but seemed irritated!! Eek . Fast forward, our OG no name waitress slammed the check on the table without saying a single word and just walked away (no it wasn't busy). The food was 7/10 , not a slam dunk but we appreciated the good food. The "interim manager" said that the patio was busy so that was why we didn't get the service we paid for. Sad. Also we were super respectful to everyone Moral of the story : don't come here on a first date , maybe wait till 3-4 months in, cause the service was trash read more

The food here is beyond amazing. We went for our first time with a group of 4 and ordered the tagliatelle carbonara and risotto. Each dish was perfectly sized for an individual dinner and was completely devoured. We were thinking about family style but didn't want to share after we took our first bites. We also ordered desserts and had the affogato with hazelnut gelato, tiramisu and the pistachio ricotta cake. All absolutely delicious. The food here is by itself a 5 stars. The atmosphere like most other reviews mention is very dark. It was hard to see the menu and even my food honestly. It's also very very loud in there. It's hard to have a conversation without yelling. The service was also on point with the sever coming to check on us regularly, drinks refilled often, and the food came out relatively quickly. We will definitely be back! I'm already thinking about what I'll order next time. Check it out. read more
