    Wow! One of the best restaurants I've been in Seattle!! This place has a cozy vibe. Very small place with tight seating. All dishes were impressive! Well balanced flavors, and rich texture, and a fun cocktail selection as a plus My favorites: - zaalouk: Smokey eggplant with nicely minced garlic for extra flavor - tortilla espanola: simple authentic Spanish style. Delicious - squid steak: a must-order!!! So tender and thinly sliced squid soaked in nutty and tomato-ish sauce. Full of umami flavor. Loved the zucchini in it too though it's just a side character. Most squid dishes in the states don't get the texture right, hard to chew sometimes, but this one is superior in many ways - lamb brochette: tender and juicy Will definitely come back here bringing family and friends - this place is such a gem and I would highly highly recommend to everyone!!!

    It's a local cozy tapa bar perfect for an intimate small group quick meet up or a couple night out stop, or even a stop just to chill on your own. It was our random stop on a Wed night. Our favorite dish was the beet salad, Spanish seafood paella, and squid steek, and lamb skewers. My hubby was never a fan of beet salad, but theirs was good. We were about to order a second. And their lamb and squid dish were on point. We were not huge on the beef tenderloin as it's a bit on a sweeter end due to the sauce on top & we don't really favor sweet. There is a variety of wine selection and option for cocktails, but we are foodie people. It's a small neighborhood bar, a nice convenient walk for many residents in the area. This place is a keeper.

    Tuesday night meal in West Seattle. Moroccan tapas restaurant. Real cute place and good offerings. We shared the tapas below: Dolmes, rice stuffed grape leaves -- real good, the creamy goat cheese with peppers and rice was super. Zaalouk eggplant with tomato spread on baguette -- this one was ok, the spread was cold and the flavors were ok compared to the rest. stuffed dates -- outstanding. The creamy goat cheese and balsamic reduction paired very well. Maakouda sliced potato cake - star of the night. Perfectly fried with a little heat Spicy Harissa Vegetables - mostly brussel sprouts with the red peppers and harissa. The brussels really needed the red peppers. Chicken Bastilla -- This was a great entree. The phyllo crust on the outside was done very well. The cinnamon, honey went so well with the chicken and almonds. you could taste every flavor. Moroccan meatballs was our last entree. The marina sauce was very good the meatball was pretty good. A nice restaurant and experience all together. Great place to go with a group and share.

    Spanish Paella

    Got the croquettes, the paella and the squid steak, EVERYTHING WAS SO AMAZING!! Every dish didn't fail to impress us, so much flavor, great textures and good aromatics. Quick and responsive service. Calm dark lighting, pretty romantic. Both me and my partner have been to Spain and Morocco and we still absolutely loved this fusion

    Food is amazing! Every single dish is outstanding! Very unique flavor. The place is very cute. Easy sitting when you go during opening hours

    Dolmes, croquettes, chop salad, foggy ras

    I love tapas and Itto's was amazing. I enjoyed the Moroccan style and could definitely taste the spices especially in the meatballs and lamb! We tried a variety of food from the dolmes to croquettes and all were exceptional. I had the foggy ras cocktail, which was served with smoke and although strong was super yummy! Also had fun spices and could taste the smoke at the back end! Will be returning :)

    Spanish Paella

    One of the best meals I have eaten in years. I love tiny places with a huge heart. That is this place. We ordered quite a few things. I ate till I couldn't fit anything else in and I was wishing for more room. I would for back to Seattle just to eat here.

    This is such a cute space with the Moroccan decor and candlelight. Food was delicious, I particularly enjoyed the beef tenderloin and moorish boquerones. Drinks left something to be desired, cocktail was one dimensional and lacked any sort of garnish, wines by the glass were disappointing as well.

    Moroccan Lemon Chicken

    Great visit and food! Our first dinner in Seattle. Hibiscus kombucha with a touch of pineapple and a raspberry shrub. Moroccan Lemon Chicken for which we requested extra bread to mop up the sauce! Squid steak.

    Beef Tenderloin
    Nadjia M.

    11/10. From the food to the service, our time here was amazing. The dim lighting and cool music also created a nice ambiance. For food we ordered (1) scallops -- perfectly seared over a bed of corn salad. There were only 4 pieces so i would have still been hungry, had we not ordered more food. (2) beef tenderloin tapas -- served over a well balanced red wine reduction with roasted potatoes (3) berbere burger -- I have no idea what it was but the flavors were impeccable. Nothing we ordered was a miss. I was honestly so sad when we finished because I wanted just a little more to taste but was so full. Note: meal was shared between 2 people and was plenty.

    Spicy Harissa Vegetable of the Day
    Suejung J.

    I remembered going to Itto's years ago when I was in the area with a friend. My partner and I wanted to grab food after checking out Atstra Lumina and I remembered Itto's wasn't too far away. This place is perfect for someone who is a carnivore dating someone who is almost vegetarian. The tapas menu is laid out in sections for vegetarian and vegan, seafood, and meat. He ordered the Spicy Harissa Vegetable, Maakouda (Moroccan spiced potato cake), and Khoudra Burger, and liked them in this order. The Spicy Harissa Vegetables were a big hit, the table next next to us even commented on how good it was when it showed up. The Maakouda was also very savory, the Khoudra burger was kind of a miss. The flavor was alright but not as savory as the other items and it was falling part and definitely needed a fork and knife. I got the tenderloin as an entree and requested the potatoes on the side so my partner could have them. I ordered rare, and this was definitely rare, it was almost blue. This tenderloin competes with the best steak houses in Seattle, it was perfect. Perfect temp, amazing flavor, and I was surprised the demi was also on the side but then I could dip the tenderloin in as much as I wanted. The portions were great too, not too much or too little. The bar has chartreuse and he ordered a last word. I usually stick to tea or water but went for an NA shrub soda and it was delightful. We're not in West Seattle often but after rediscovering this gem I would like to come back more often.

To be fair, I'm not usually a fancy multi-course meal person, but at about $75 per person, I was willing to pay for a memorable experience. Because the menu was so different, our group decided to order à la carte. We had seen octopus empanadas and expected those, only to learn the empanada in the tasting menu was actually chicken. The server also explained that the tasting menu version would only be a one-bite portion, which made us stick with à la carte. The problem was that many of the à la carte dishes were tiny; around four bites, some barely an inch across. It felt more focused on presentation than flavor. What disappointed me most was that dishes inspired by familiar cuisines didn't stay true to them. The bacalao lacked the qualities I associate with island-style bacalao, the tahdig wasn't crispy as Persian tahdig should be, and the paella didn't evoke Valencia. The octopus dish and the bread were easily the highlights of the meal. After drinks, the bill came to around $120 per person before tip, yet the service wasn't particularly knowledgeable or passionate about the food. The biggest surprise? After spending over $300-400 for our group, I was still hungry enough to walk next door and buy empanadas. This may simply not be my style of dining. If you enjoy artistic, presentation-driven tasting experiences, you may love it. For me, though, it was an expensive experience that left me unsatisfied rather than impressed.

Just glancing at the menu during a stroll in Cap Hill interested me and I wanted to give this place a try. Paid a visit on a Friday around 6PM and was able to get a table fairly quickly. There are parking garages in the building that Nue is located at, though I am not sure about parking validation. There should be plenty of street parking as the restaurant is located more on the outskirts of Cap Hill. I got to the restaurant via a 10 minute walk from the nearest light rail station. Service was a bit slow when went, I think after we were seated, there unfortunately were two large groups that can in afterwards. We had to flag down the service workers to place our order and get the check. As for the food, it came out after 10 minutes one at a time. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, lots of memorabilia from various countries and even the check came out in a passport-esque binder. We got a couple of things, which I'll review down below: Carribean Pineapple Cornbread ($8): Tasty cornbread that has nice coconut flakes spread through the batter and around the cornbreads. The cornbread was moist and there is a pineapple undertone in the flavor profile. One downside was that the quantity is quite small, I think for the price, you get like 2 3x3 squares of cornbread, which I think is unfortunately not enough as an appetizer even. Chengdu Wings ($24): These wings do have a tasty flavor profile and have a fragrant aroma when you bite into them. The batter is crispy and they are pleasing to eat! Once again, I unfortunately think the suffers in terms of quantity - you maybe get like 3 wings for $24, which I personally think is a very steep price for fried chicken wings, regardless of the flavor profile. I understand that not everyone can handle very spicy flavor, and personally think that despite the name being Chengdu Wings, it serves as a good entry to Sichuanese cuisine for people given the motivation of the restaurant. Malaysian Dhal ($22): A pleasant dish that has a fragrant coconut, lime, and lemongrass flavor that represents the flavors of Malaysia well. The stew has a pleasant consistency and each bite coats your tongue with the fragrant flavors. The roti is flaky on the outside and soft on the inside - perfect for enjoying this dish. African Bunny Chow ($24): Probably the most filling dish that we have ordered at Nue - I think if you are hungry, maybe go for this one. There is a decent amount of meat in this dish, and the flavors are tasty - it feels like a slightly more toned down Dhal in terms of fragrance, but has a pleasant thicker consistency. In the end, I think Nue is better served as a Tapas-esque restaurant than a place you would visit if you are hungry. Prices vs. quantity does suffer quite a bit at Nue unfortunately, which is why I think it serves as a place to sample cuisines in a night out and then maybe visit elsewhere to complete your dinner. The food is flavorful and pleasing to the general audience, which is a good thing for people who generally aren't very adventurous in their culinary horizons. I'm not sure I would revisit, but I would definitely recommend this to people that lean more on the safer side of dining out.

I got fifth overall, if anybody cares, guys. Since I hadn't eaten a proper lunch and basically wanted to combine lunch and dinner into one meal, I ordered a couple of small plates. First, I got the flatbread with coal-roasted baba ganoush, citrus syrup, and eggplant molasses. The flatbread and baba ganoush came out first and were pretty decent. Nothing necessarily to write home about, but a good start to the meal. For my second plate, I ordered the lamb ribs with harissa barbecue sauce, whipped garlic, pickled red onions, and herbs. I sat outside, and when the lamb ribs came out, they were definitely different from the kind of ribs I'm used to. I normally think of traditional barbecue or baby back ribs, whereas these had more of a Mediterranean-inspired preparation. They were a little messy to eat, but the combination of the harissa barbecue sauce, whipped garlic, pickled onions, spices, and herbs made them pretty interesting. The lamb was tasty, although it didn't completely blow me away. I'd probably put the ribs themselves around a 3.5/5. Overall, though, Ciudad was a pretty good choice, especially if you like Mediterranean-inspired food and want something a little different from traditional barbecue. I'll round the overall experience up to 4/5. And yes -- ciudad means "city" in Spanish. The more you know, guys. I'd come back if I'm in the Seattle area again. 4/5 stars Last visited: August 31, 2026
