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

Nice restaurant simple selection on food but i tried the beef and it was very good tasty and easy to cut.

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

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

Great food and great views! This is definitely a more fancy spot, and is perfect for a special dining experience. We came right as they opened on a Wednesday and there were already so many people waiting in line to get in -- definitely speaks to the popularity of this spot. The inside is gorgeous and has floor to ceiling windows with a waterfront view, and there's also outdoor seating if you prefer that. We started off with drinks, and I got the Harry's bellini which was basically a peach bellini. It was quite strong, but tasted great :) For food, we shared a few items and I got to try the focaccia with sundried tomato spread, calamari, salsiccia pizza, and truffle pizza. Everything was SO delicious! Out of all the items though, I'd say the salsiccia pizza was my favorite -- it had such a good balance of flavors on a nicely cooked crust. For great vibes, views, and food, Como is a fantastic spot! 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

Como - Pasta and truffle pizza - Italian Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

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

The food here was amazing. I am quite picky about my pasta and the flavors that come with it and the pasta here was just so good and well served. The dish in the photo is called Tarjin, some sort of a truffle pasta. Would recommend, very filling but still light and delicious! The service was amazing here too, and the interior was gorgeous 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

Stunning views and good eats. First time at Como and walked away with good impressions. Como is located on the water in Carillion Point which provides stunning lake views, especially during sunset. This restaurant does get busy and I recommend reservations. Despite our set reservation time, we still had to wait 20 minutes longer for our table to be ready. Their waiting area is right by their pasta making station where you can watch a chef roll out pasta sheets. Views from our table and the vibe were amazing. Service was prompt and our server friendly. The menu offered offered an excellent selection of antipasti, pizza, and entrees. We started with the prosciutto di parma and roasted pork belly to share. I also ordered a Vieux Carre to go with appetizers. The prosciutto was served with burrata and was a great combo of flavors. The pork belly, burried under a mountain of frisee, was tender and flavorful. The frisee and spring onion mustarda cuts through the richness of the pork belly. The Vieux Carre was perfectly made. It is a challenge to find restaurant that serves this drink and it's a delight the bartenders at Como know how to make it. I opted for the Tagliatelle Carbonara for my main entree and ordered a vesper martini for my second drink. The pasta was freshly made and al dente. The guanciale was perfectly cooked and generously topped with parmesan. The meal concluded with a serving of limoncello and rich and decadent tiramisu. The service was on point and meal was phenomenal. Marking this restaurant a must return especially during summer. read more

Had our anniversary family dinner here at Como on a beautiful day. They did not disappoint. The restaurant had this seaside Mediterranean ambiance with the windows and doors open to the breeze and the lake. It was a gorgeous day to have dinner here. However maybe clean your window sills guys. Tables, plates and silverware were clean as heck, thought they might have an autoclave back there with how our utensils looked... Their service was exceptional with plates cleared promptly and the waiter checking often but not so much that he was bothering us. Family ordered four dishes: Kids split their carbonara and man it looked good. A good simple Italian pasta that was magnificent. Especially with their load of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside guancaile. Fricken fabulous. I had their gnocchi because I've never had it and it looked beautiful. I could not think of a dish that was prettier. The gnocchi had great color, tasted good, but I don't know it was missing something. Maybe a little salt? How would I know it was my first time, but those pretty red micro greens with the golden red sauce and perfect little gnocchi bites.... I did not regret. Kids pasta tho tasted mwah compared to it though. I think maybe because the dish was soft on soft on soft. Needed some texture to balance those fluffy balls of beauty. Wife had a papperdelle boar ragu. I think they must be nose to hoof here because it looked like the whole boar was on my wife's plate. Heck all their plates had huge servings. I could just barely finish mine... after finishing my kids. It was a pasta dish that went full carnivore. It also tasted good but maybe missing something? We also had their octopus uh... salad? Koreans love their tentacled dishes so I loved it. It was also a looker and the puréed parsnips were silkier than a tommy Bahamas island shirt. For all the above and a couple adult beverages the bill came to about 150 bucks with a hefty tip for their great service. While the food was good, it didn't have the wow factor in taste but was still great and it was money well spent. The few Italian places I've gone to where I thought the food tasted better were almost double the price so those place definitely makes my list. Beautiful dishes, pretty restaurant, just missing that one additional pop of flavor. It's Like a beauty queen whose answer is always "I want world peace" Thank you Como for a very nice dinner read more

4.26.23 Stopped by after my appointment in Kirkland. We didn't have a reservation, but luckily we were seated right away. The host was super friendly and nice. He was also pay attention to our table refilling our water and cleaned up empty plate when restaurant got busier. It was sunny and gorgeous date, and we have enjoyed our dinner with great view. Restaurant was almost full around 6pm. We tried their octopus and it was very soft and nicely cooked. My pasta Cavatelli was also delicious. We would love to try their pizza next time! read more

The restaurant itself is beautiful. The service impeccable. The food delicious. The only downside was how absolutely loud it was in there. Very hard to hear the person sitting next to you. It's intimate but you'll need to shout to your fellow diner. The other downside was that everyone else's food was amazing and my Halibut and potatoes weren't that great. The halibut lacked seasoning, the potatoes were so dry and needed salt. read more

This is definitely an Italian hidden gem. The food + cocktails are fantastically tasty . The view is breath-taking + worth the trip - it is especially worth the trip during the Spring or Summer when you have the option to sit outdoor. The service is good / some servers are more attentive than others + some days top notch! Overall a great experience with really great menu options. I would definitely recommend to visit any day of the week ! Superb experience. read more

Family dinner for 5 plus 2 small kids. Our waiter was so kind and attentive, offered to make a regular pepperoni pizza for the kids and made sure to bring their food and drinks out quickly. I had the Kentucky passion drink and it exceeded my expectations. The halibut was great (perfectly cooked, lemony with olives and hints of capers), and a fair sized portion. My family enjoyed the crab and gem salads, crab and como risottos, and the gnocchi. Gnocchi was great, especially for balsamic lovers. Focaccia was great as well. The vibe is a little dressy for me, but if you love a beachy resort vibe then you'll love it. read more

10/10 service! Our sausage pizza was delicious, clams had a nice kick to them. Pasta was nothing special, we got the pappardelle. Super loud inside, hard to hear the person you are with without talking over everyone else. Dark ambience, candlelit dinner. read more

Loved this place! First, the views are just incredible and the restaurant itself is very trendy! The service was also pretty good, but it's more of a casual place if you're looking for a special occasion restaurant. Everything was super delicious! We got the focaccia bread and creamed spinach for apps and tagliatelle beef ragu and braised short ribs for the mains. The beef in both of the main dishes were cooked perfectly - tender and flavorful! I loved their cocktail as well! read more

what a restaurant *heart eyes* Location & interior design is a 10/10. Feels like you are diving into Italy. also make sure you make a reservation if you want to go at busy time. Food: Okay so much to review here! Overall what I realized all the food was mid. Nothing special and probably won't come back here for the food specifically but probably just the views and vibes! And maybe just some light appetizers. Bufala Mozzarella: Average mozzarella and tomato pizza. Really plain and honestly had no flavor or sizzle to even remember how it tasted. Felt dry and plain. Alba Truffle: 1st reaction to this pizza was that it was extremely cold. The burrata on top made the pizzas temperature cool down quickly before it came to our table. Overall if the pizza was warmer it probably would of made a statement but unfortunately it did not. Pappardelle: Actually not bad. One thing was that the noodles were stuck together and felt like they were cooked throughly. The sauce was actually good, seasoned well! Crab Risotto: Nothing special. Risotto topped with crab. Tiramisu: I really had high hopes for this desert:( unfortunately it did disappoint. Maybe they made this desert to in advance and it wasn't fresh anymore but it was just not it. It was dry and the cream didn't moisten the dryness of the cake. Overall I have made better tiramisu. Save you money don't get this. Tartufo Affagato: This desert was actually a table favorite. Smooth, dark chocolate. Topped with a strong and dark coffee. Coffee lovers with love this desert. Overall food was not it. And it wasn't one thing that was like eh is was mostly all the dishes that had the same vibe. Maybe we are too Americanized to understand the Italian culture and their art of food. But the food was overall a 4/10. Servers: We had a total of 3 that were so helpful and honestly just doing there job. Not overly sweet but just straight to the point servers. One was the main, taking our order, etc. The second one filled out cups, took away plates, cleaned. The third was a floater, helped bring food. Overall, good organization everyone has a role and know what they are doing! read more

I wish Yelp had half stars because my rating would've been 3.5! :) The location and ambience is fantastic but just focusing on food and service in my review. I was with a group of 7 and the service was great , they were helpful and very politely pushed us to place orders, which I appreciated! Personally, I hate when people take forever to place orders- it's rude and could cause backs-ups especially if there's another reservation for the table! For apps, we had the burrata, carciofi (fried artichokes) and gem lettuce. All were very tasty and like many others have mentioned- the fired artichokes was delicious! Depending on how hungry one is, I'd say the serving size is good for 4 people max. I ordered the pappardelle and was a bit disappointed. There seemed to be more protein than pasta which was a bit surprising since usually it's the opposite. To me, the pasta was also a a bit hard, not quite al dente. I knew I should've ordered the tajarin instead! However, the other pasta dishes my colleagues ordered looked amazing! Looking forward to trying other dishes, especially their pizza! read more

The scenery here is the absolute best you can get on the East side. This was an absolutely stunning dinner with a beautiful view and was super grateful for the great seats they provided us. Me and my mom were enjoying our walk when we passed by this place and knew we had to go. We snagged reservations for 3 at 7:30 and were surprised that we were given the best seats in the restaurant!! The place was beautiful, the inside was super simple, though the restaurant itself was very noisy. It was more of a casual place and less of a place to take a date due to the loud ambiance. The service was okay, though it took a couple minutes to snag a waiter for some extra salt. For the food overall I thought it was decent, our meals tasted very fresh and had good flavor but there wasn't any quantity to the food that wowed me. The prices here were also very reasonable, especially for the quality of the food, the views, and the service!! I would definitely recommend this place for their fantastic views, though be warned of the noise. read more

I love this restaurant! It has everything I like and look for when picking out nice places to eat! Delicious food, good atmosphere, pretty interior, great view and nice service! Como has all of the above. I've been here multiple times for dinner and it's always been a wonderful dining experience. Loved all the pasta dishes, the noodles are a little bit more on the al dente side but that's how I like my pasta! The only thing is the bread service is not complimentary like most other Italian restaurants, you have to order it on the side. The appetizers change with season I believe because I've tried different salad/appetizer plates and they were always all so fresh and flavorful! I highly recommend Como! You can't beat this nice waterfront view and beautiful interior. read more

My friend and i are from Vancouver, BC and stayed in bellevu for a weekend away (we love the shopping and vibes). we decided to explore a new area and found this stunning spot on instagram. The aesthetics are beautiful. Mix of Italy and with the white interior and arches, it was giving greece too! We sat down and got Aperol Spritz which were delicious! I got a stuffed Ravilio that was like a 7/10, and my friend loved her beef pasta (she'd give it a 9/10). Now where the points are dropped is the service. They stuck us in the corner of the bar, and to make matters worse, the bartender was SO rude and mean. This sweet younger ginger kid was working helping out with drinks and serving and the bartender visible yelled "CAN U HURRY UP?!" to him. First off, you don't treat your employees like that, second, never do that in front of paying customers! I would maybe go back but also open to trying other spots when i'm down there. read more

The interior and the views are beautiful but the actual food was disappointing :( Drinks - I tried the Harry's Bellini ($12), SUPER sweet Apps & Sides: -Lopez Island Clams ($17) - Extremely Salty -Focaccia ($3) - nicely plated, focaccia was okay -Buratta ($16) - this was interesting. I've definitely had better burrata, this was was gummy and gooey as opposed to having a nice solid fresh exterior/creamy interior. The melons were an interesting accompaniment. Entrees: -Ravioli ($24) - pretty and liked the local mushrooms and fava beans but again, not a ton of flavor -Truffle Pizza ($26) - the crust was sort of dense and grainy. Truffle shavings on too were a nice touch but the pie as a whole just lacked flavor. -Halibut ($32) - didn't try this but my friend commented on its dryness Located in downtown Kirkland, park in the nearby parking structure as they validate parking. read more

Came here for the pasta but would come back for the PIZZA!! Their alba truffle was heaven-sent... loved the huge truffle shavings, the light and creamy truffle crema, the perfectly salty porchetta, and the DOUGH which was such a perfecttt texture. I'll be thinking about this pizza for some time... As far as pastas go, I dont know if its because we got the pastas after this 10/10 pizza, but they were a bit lackluster. Carbonara seemed to be missing something though I appreciate that they use guanciale. Papardelle was nothing special. read more

Beautiful spot for a meal! Decent food although service was a little slow. Location: Not too much street parking. It does seem like there's a hotel with valet next door, but we opted to Uber in. Food: food was decent! we ordered a few dishes including the calamari and some pasta. A little over priced but worth it for the view. Service: Service was okay, not the most attentive but decent. Atmosphere: the restaurant is right on the water, and if you can get a table on the balcony, you'll get the best view. read more

I really wanted to love this restaurant, and that's not to say that I didn't enjoy the ambience. I felt like I was in a different country with the interior design. The weight staff is very unwelcoming, and you could tell by the greeter table at the entrance of the restaurant itself. We ordered several appetizers and a pasta dish. While the plating was thoughtful, the food was mediocre at best. I felt like the octopus was too salty and the pork belly was paired with too many sweet accompaniments. The gnocchi was served in a ceramic bowl, and was bubbling when it came out however, this left an over cooked pasta that had that left me wanting more in terms of texture. read more
