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

The views and ambiance are amazing because it's right by the water. The food took kind of long to arrive but was still good. The service was not top tier and we had to ask multiple times for requests we've already made (like more water or ordering a drink). But I would go here for a nice outing or special occasion like a birthday. read more

So delicious!!! Definitely recommend! We sat at the bar and had a great time with the bartender, Jessica.

Just yes This was the best food, service and atmosphere I've had in Washington in YEARS. We were 15 minutes late to our reservation and they didn't make it an issue or act frustrated (we did call on the way to notify them we were running behind) We were sat immediately at a table with a gorgeous view, we ordered cocktails and received them right away (best Bellini I've ever had) We ordered the gem lettuce (great dressing) The buffalo mozzarella pizza (omg so fresh and bright) and a risotto and pasta. We let them know we had somewhere to be so they brought everything out as soon as possible. The timing was perfect, our water was never empty and the server checked in at all of the appropriate times without lingering. We felt like we were dining on the California coast and it was a real escape from the gloomy Washington restaurant scene. 10/10 we will be back! Also prices were beyond reasonable! read more

While the food good and fair price - the noise level and service were not. Couldn't hear each other, couldn't hear our waiter. Service was lagging and we were fortunate when our waiter showed up. Had the Risotto with Dungeness Crab - good but not wow. Two small pieces of crab - comical. Wine list was average. View of course was beautiful and the ambiance overall was very coastal. 50/50 on recommending this place. read more

I love this place Service very nice I love this place. Firstly, it is very beautiful. Secondly, it has a pleasant atmosphere. And what is also very important is the good cuisine. My husband and I love this place very much. It is our place for dates together. read more

Food is amazing, we changed up our regular order a little to try out new items and they were amazing . Appetizers: Beets were refreshing and a great light dish to start out with . Main: Carbonara was full of flavor and super rich and creamy Risotto : Perfection and very filling Our service was kind and thoughtful, never left the glass empty and made the place seem welcoming and cozy . Highly recommend this place if you want a good modern Italian dinner location read more

Though I live only a few miles from this place, I never seem to make it here. They are normally only open for dinner time, but I heard they recently opened on Saturdays now for lunch. Today was such a beautiful day that after running errands I decided to stop in for afternoon beer and some snacks. I had Italian imported beer so I tried one of those plus the baby artichokes and the burrata. The beer was a logger clean and crisp and I actually liked it better than Perone. The artichokes were lightly battered and nice and crispy, served on top of a slightly spicy aioli sauce. It was very good. 4 star The Beretta was well Beretta with chopped fresh peaches that were not as ripe as they could have been. They were also extremely stingy with the balsamic glaze. I asked the waiter for more and instead he brought me just regular balsamic vinegar. Just ok, 3 star. With all the fresh strawberries around right now, it would have been much better to do strawberries with a solid dose of balsamic glaze. Many tables around me were ordering the pasta dishes and they looked pretty good I will have to come back and try those during dinner time. read more

Food was pretty good. Our server could not have been less interested in our table, which we didn't mind as this was a girls night. When we finished our meal and were about to order dessert and another drink, the manager asked us to move to the lounge by the front door because the restaurant had gotten very busy and he had a big group coming in. Not the best vibe, but he promised to comp us drinks and made it seem like they would make it worth our while to move. We did move, eventually each got a glass of Prosecco, and then we were literally forgotten about. We didn't get to order dessert, and had to flag down a different server to pay our bill. Nice. Sorry for the inconvenience, will not be back. read more

Absolutely delicious !!! Came by with as a group of 4. The service was great , Kyle our server was super! He was very nice and accommodating. We ordered the PAPPARDELLE -WILD BOAR RAGU with CALABRIA CHILI, PICI CARBONARA -GUANCIALE and FARM EGG, and RAVIOLI ALLA BERGAMASCA with BROWN BUTTER- AMARETTI COOKIE. These pastas were all sooo delicious !! Large enough to share. The carbonara is exactly what you want in a carbonara , bacon deliciousness and creamy. The pappardelle w wild boar was soo unique and sooooo good- probably my favorite. We also ordered dessert and espresso. We ordered and shared the TIRAMISU, FRAGOLINE and CHOCOLATE FONDANT. They were all perfect- not too sweet but hit the spot . My favorite was the Fragoline and the strawberry ice cream that comes with it is soo good on its own! COMO is right on the water with a beautiful view. Will 100% be back! read more

The moment we entered this restaurant we were blown away. Como has a gorgeous view of the lake and yacht area. We came at sunset hour and requested a table at the patio and this was so romantic. I highly suggest coming in with reservation or there will be a wait. The carciofi (grilled artichokes) as an appetizer was so delicious and we were shocked how such a simple dish could taste so good. I tried the Lady Madison cocktail which was a bit strong, but garnished well. For our main course we tried the cavatelli and dungeness crub risotto. They were absolutely a 10/10 and so good. For dessert we ordered the pistachio cake and ice cream which was light and a perfect amount of sweet. The service was not the best as it took a while for the server to attend to us and we did not see her for a while at one point. She also forgot to put in my cocktail order and I had to do a follow up. Parking is in a lot right next to it, and is free if you stay past 9PM! I would definitely come back here again for the food and viewpoint, but the service needs improvement. read more

This was such a disappointing visit. While the hostesses were a delight that is where the pleasantries ended. Our waitress was a real sourpuss. We waiting for nearly 20 minutes before water was brought to us and then another 10-15 before our waitress took our order. At that point she only took a drink order and then we had to flag her down to place a food order but she left before we could order entrees. It was another 30 minutes before we could order our entrees. We also could not get any water refills. Now, the cocktails were fine, but the food was not cooked well and not pleasant to eat. We got the quash blossoms which were under seasoned and were basically hush puppies there was so much breading. We got 2 pizzas that were also under seasoned and were served in a pool of oil. We couldn't even eat them. The view here is beautiful but this will for sure be the last time I ever visit. There are far too many places with better food and great views. read more

This was our fourth time eating dinner at Como and our food experience has seemed to slowly decline each time we have gone. In our most recent experience the noodles for the wild boar ragu were like a rubber consistency, either not cooked correctly or something was off with this batch. The ragu sauce was pretty good at least so we did not report this to our server. The gluten free noodles were not great last time, so I passed on any gf pasta and got the Salmon which was good. Would be nice to see more gf / df options at Como. There was a different menu last summer, and we really enjoyed that menu, felt like it had more variety. The current menu isn't our favorite. There are 3 risottos listed, could do with less and bring in another style of dish. Overall it's been ok, but next time we are craving Italian we will probably go elsewhere. read more

OVERALL: 6.7/10 (Yelp Converted Score: 3.35/5). Advice: It's nice for a night out, but don't set your expectations too high. My partner and I had a reservation for 2 at 7pm on Sunday, April 11th, 2021. We showed up around 20 minutes before our reservation and were seated within five minutes of showing up, albeit not at the original type of table we'd requested (near the window, since I booked over a week in advance via OpenTable). We didn't know it at the time, but COMO was participating in the Spring 2021 edition of Seattle Restaurant Week, so we ended up ordering our meal off of the Dinner menu, and then ordered two cocktail drinks on top of that. 1) VARIETY/SELECTION: 7/10. There four main "sections" of the dinner menu: Antipasti, pizze, primi, and secondi. Each have between 3 and 10 options on them, varying in price from $12 (Zuppa) to $45 (Kobe NY Strip). The cocktail menu has 9 options on it, but the wine list actually has more options than the food menu (it's a full page of options). 2) FRESHNESS: 8/10. The zuppa was warm, and tasted freshly made; the rainbow beets were definitely a highlight. The main dishes were the stars of the show - the pappardelle was moist but firm, and had a great texture. The vermicelli was full of flavour, and the cherry tomatoes felt fresh. The ice cream was partially melted when it got to the table (sadlife), but both the crostata and tiramisu tasted authentic. 3) VALUE FOR MONEY: 8.5/10. We ordered our three main courses from the Seattle Restaurant Week (Spring 2021) dinner menu ($35 each), which included: Antipasti - ZUPPA - ZUCCHINI, CRISPY COPPA, MASCARPONE - RAINBOW BEETS - RICOTTA, TOASTED PISTACHIO Primi: - PAPPARDELLE - WILD BOAR RAGU, CALABRIA CHILI - SQUID INK VERMICELLI - GAMBERI, PRESERVED CHERRY TOMATO Dolci: - TIRAMISU - CROSTATA DI PERE - PASTRY, ALMOND CREAM, PEAR In addition, we ordered two cocktails from the drinks menu: - Jim's Pimm ($13) - PIMM'S, MINT, STRAWBERRY SHRUB, GOSLING'S GINGER BEER - Harry's Bellini ($12) - Giffard Peach Liqueur, Peach Puree, Prosecco Decent portion sizes for the mains, especially considering the value of SRWeek prices. The appetizer courses were a bit small (compared to the regular menu), but it made sense given the three-course nature of the meal. I had eaten a fairly large lunch beforehand, but if I hadn't, I don't think I would have been satiated or full after the SRWeek portions. I'm unable to comment on the normal dinner menu as we did not order anything from there. 4) SERVICE: 6/10. I had some red flags in my overall impressions of this place (next section), but this section is entirely commenting about the service / dining experience. Given that we're still amidst a global pandemic, I found it concerning that the tables were way too close together; within six feet, which was the recommended distance for social distancing as per the CDC. Worse yet, it didn't seem like the restaurant was following the less-than-50% indoor dining guidelines at all - every table and seat was filled, everywhere I looked. The timing between when we received our initial drinks order and when we were able to order our food was roughly 20 minutes - which is way too long, unless you're understaffed. What disappointed me here was that the waiter taking our order had no idea that SRWeek was going on, so he literally walked away WITH MY PHONE while he "went to check with management" as to whether or not they were able to honour it (didn't even asked, just took my phone and walked off). I thought I was getting "punk'd" for a few seconds, but when he finally started walking back I realized **he was being serious**. My conclusion: The wait staff doesn't know the menu or specials. 5) CONSISTENCY / FIRST IMPRESSION: 6/10. I found certain things inconsistent with my experience, even compared to those tables directly adjacent to me. Both of these detracted from the overall experience, hence the rating. Firstly, we were seated and ordered before 7pm, yet we never received our first dish until 7:15pm. Meanwhile, the two tables directly to my right (of two people, each table) were seated at 7pm, and ordered, but received their full order before 7:15pm. They had a different server, which may have played into it, but it was still quite confusing to see their main courses come out (after their appetizers had been served, eaten, and taken away), when our appetizer hadn't even been made yet. Secondly, there were three options available for reservations on OpenTable: "standard seating", "high-top seating", and "outdoor seating". I booked "high-top seating" over a week in advance, since the pictures had shown "high-top" to be adjacent to the windows, which had the best view of the sunset. When I arrived, the host at the door claimed those didn't matter - and we got whatever was available. So what the hell was the online reservation system even for? Why are there three "options" that don't actually make a difference for customers to pick? read more

I'm sad to say that my first and only experience at Como leaves me rather unwilling to go back. I will say that the carbonara, sausage pizza, and affogato we had were all delicious (from what I could tell -- our entrees were cold. More details later). No complaints there. The parking is also quite easy, with a garage and multiple lots nearby that are validated for 2 hours. However, it is ABSOLUTELY FREEZING inside. To an unreasonable degree. It was a cloudy day outside and we had AC blasting right at our table. And in case you're thinking we have unrealistic expectations of temperature, I need you to know that within 10 minutes, our food was COLD. I'm talking that sort of gritty texture that pasta sauce gets when it's too cooled down. Where you can't twirl the pasta easily with your fork, because it's become rigid. The point where the cheese on the pizza no longer moves and reaches a solid state. We politely asked our waiter if they were able to adjust the AC, and they said that they couldn't. I believe them, but whoever in management DOES have control over that, please know that I won't be returning solely because of the absurdly cold temperature. I'm not willing to pay that much money again to be shivering at a table where my food gets cold within literally 10 minutes. read more

I have always heard of this place and finally had the chance to go! We were celebrating a milestone for a friend of ours and took up the back room. The place is very intimate and eclectic. The decor is great! As we were led back to the room, I noticed that the restaurant itself was very long! It had a full seating bar and lots of tables. We all sat around the table in the wine cellar and started to enjoy our night. Soon the drinks and wine started and thing were beginning to get fun! Someone already took the liberty of ordering apps for the table so one by one they started to show up. Loved the prosciutto and mozzerella, soo great, as well as the bread with the melted cheese. a must try! Food started showing up and disappearing as we began to enjoy it all. I was getting thirsty so I started looking for the server. She was very hard to find most of the night so we felt bad as we were pulling on the people delivering the food. Hey you have to do what you have to do right? Soon the entrees, showed up and I must say, the food wasn't that great. I had the tortella with crab and it was pretty bland. Although the winner was the gluten free pasta with the wild boar Ragu! All in all, I would say that the food was just OK. The clear winner was the Ragu however! Delicious! The place is very beautiful. It's kind of a mixture of Italian and Greece decorations. And I will say the service wasn't that great. For as much as we were spending in that back room we definitely didn't have a server when we needed them. Also , the restaurant to get very loud as it really isn't anything to stop the noise from riverbed rating off the walls. We kept trying to close the door and people kept opening it so it was super loud. It's definitely great ambience so if you're there to have some dinner and spend some time with somebody, you'll enjoy yourself. Note, parking is in a garage. read more

I did not like the service here... our server was hard to find and our order was also wrong. The tajarin noodles was not great. Felt like I was just eating truffled cheesy ramen noodles that were overpriced. It was dry and noodles were kinda soft. The octopus was interesting, citrus earthy flavor. That was pretty good. Thought the alcoholic drinks could be better. They can also validate parking, although probably I won't be back. read more

4th Meal at seattle restaurant week at COMO， this place is so popular that I can only reserve at 4 p.m. Fantastic seaview with sunset， the color of the sky is breath-taking and you can enjoy good meal through. I like the fried antichoke which is crisp and smelt good, however the gem lettuce sause and the antichoke sauce at the bottom is way to sour for me. we really enjoyed the pizza and its so huge for one, the dough reminds you the wheat field and the cheese as well as the small tomato is sparkling to your mouth. I like the pork noodle, Sorry I forget the name of it, but it tastes amazing. As to the Tiramisu, I love the cake with espresso and rum and topped with cocoa. However, the sicilian roll is too sweet for us. read more

My expectations were too high for this mediocre experience. The food imparts a flavor of a chef who is terribly sad. The wait staff made me feel like I was at a Olive Garden. The bus boy attempted to take my food away twice while there was obviously food still on the plate. The clams tasted dull, not even a hint of garlic. The second appetizer was carpaccio, it came with shaved truffle I would recommend. The oxtail pasta was once again dull, nothing fresh about it, the oxtail was also gummy. Although the view is mesmerizing I couldn't even hear my partner talking to me, since it was so loud. Will not be returning. read more

The ambiance is definitely the best part of the restaurant, I should start off with saying that as it's what drew us into the lure of Como. When it comes to hospitality the team is lacking -- majorly. No smiles upon greeting, no kindness... the vibe was pretentious. It's also ridiculously loud considering the space. We made our reservations weeks in advance for our anniversary thinking it would be good to try something "new"... they weren't prepared for us and let's just say, it wasn't worth the time we spent basking in the sunshine on the patio sweating in anticipation for drinks. Honestly, having kinder staff would be the first place to start. The Crab Risotto was worth mentioning... We enjoyed the scoop of pistachio ice cream they gave us un exchange to "missing" our reservation time and anniversary note originally. read more

Amazing view, beautiful restaurant, and kind wait staff. The food was disappointing, unfortunately. The beet appetizer was lacking flavor and the pizza dough was quite dense. I'd return for a cocktail with a view but likely not for another full meal. read more

views are great but the food is absolutely terrible. we didn't eat both of our main dishes and got zero money back

Had a reservation, once I arrived it took around 10mins to get seated. At the table we got water pretty quickly but waited around 20mins for our server to come to take our drink order. Our server didn't seem to care much, almost as if that is was the norm. The food itself was decent but service was horrendous. read more

Ever since this restaurant opened years ago, it has been one of our favorites for date night dinner or with a group of friends. The ambiance is great any time of year. I'm the summer, you get beautiful views of the water and sunset and in the winter it's nice and cozy inside. Parking is easy in the nearby garage. The service has always been great. Our favorite things that never disappoint are the Focaccia, Burrata and Prosciutto to start and we always get the Tajarin and Pappardelle Ragu to share for dinner. Those dishes are too delicious to not get every time! read more

One word, disappointed. Very unfortunate, a beautiful view, the food was delicious, but the staff unprofessional, zero hospitality, and lack of urgency. I came here on a Saturday night with my two best friends, there was no wait, and it was not busy when we arrived. From the start, not a single greeting. The host took us to the table which had dirty silverware, sat the menus down and walked away...not even a smile. Leading to the server, no introduction did not even know her name till the end from the check...not a single Friendly word out of her. Forgot about our bread, 10 minutes for one drink, and when we finally received our food did not see our server for 20+ minutes...no quality check nothing. By the time we asked for the bill, the server Jess finally drops it off slaps it on the table and walks away. Just from over hearing how she spoke to the other tables, highly unprofessional. She finally took our bill, paid us out not a single "have a good night, thank you for coming in". Nothing. In the midst of this experience my friends water had fallen over and spilled. When asked for a towel from the host she "forgot" but she didn't forget to be on her phone around the corner. Finally, a random server with a RBF brings us some napkins and walks away. By the end of our experience we were all taken back from the amount of unprofessionalism of this place. I took it on myself to offer the feedback to a manager. Unfortunately, "there was not a manager on duty"....odd for a "busy Saturday night" with no support of management. When we shared our experience the only thing the bartender or whoever the man was gave us "yeah it was a busy night". I'm sorry, but if you cannot manage a restaurant at that volume and give flawless service for the price you end up paying maybe reconsider your career path. Secondly, the fact that there was no management present really shows what goes on when they are not there, unfortunate. The fact that that level of service is tolerated is wild to me, maybe some reconsideration on staff. read more

The interior is super cute inside and showcases a pretty view of the water. The food however was mediocre, us only getting the tajarin truffle pasta and the charred octopus along with 2 drinks. For the price, the food to us was not worth it/good. We were there for an hour and a half and our server only stopped by once the entire time, only to get our orders for food. She never stopped by to see if we needed anything else or had any other questions, which we did have some questions so we were trying to make eye contact for a good twenty minutes with no success. Other tables had their servers stopping by and checking on them so we were really confused. Perhaps it was just our server but will not be coming back to this place anytime soon. Overall, not so great experience and left pretty disappointed. read more
