oh wowowow! ive had this place bookmarked for so long and finally got to try it this week. it blew me away! came in with two girlfriends and got sat in a booth. the place was so cute, there were booths, bar seats, some patio seats, and i think a room in the back too. menu had options for everyone, veg options, meat options, entrees, and drinks. it was a good amount to choose from, not so much that it got overwhelming. we got pretty much all the potato options, and i loved every single one of them. all the flavors worked so well with one another, some subtle, some packed a punch. the aioli thats featured in a lot of the tapas we ordered is to die for! i would buy it if they sold it. the chop salad actually was kind of an underdog. it surprised me, the vinaigrette that its marinated in is so delicious, i probably would have slurped it up if i werent so full. for entrees, we ordered the lamb skewers and meatballs. the lamb was heavily spiced and came with a eggplant dip. the meat was a bit tough but still tasted good. the meatballs were delicious, also well spiced, and came in a tomato red sauce with crispy bread. i think we ordered 5-6 tapas and 2 entrees, and it was enough food! and price was actually quite reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. read more

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!!! read more

Cute little wine bar & tapas restaurant. Some really good tapas, particularly the Maakouda and the Zaalouk (the Moroccan dishes are generally the best ones). Look for the list of wine specials on the chalk board; those will be $10 pours, the majority of which will be excellent. Itto's is a relaxed, neighborhoody kinda place which is not that busy on a weeknight. It's also quite snug (small) so if you happen to get there on a busy night you might have a bit of a wait. Note that the small plates are generally single portions, so you can expect to spend $30 to $60 per person with drinks. read more

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 :) read more

Itto's Tapas - Dolmes, croquettes, chop salad, foggy ras - Moroccan Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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. read more

Even with the added on work weeks to our contract, we aren't long for the Pacific Northwest. What a wonderful run, what a wonderful find for our last week! I'm fast becoming a tapas fan. Thanks to places like this. They have a very large vegetarian menu. Sorry guys, this dude is ordering Beef Tenderloin and Lamb Brochette (3 leg o Lamb skewers and a hip eggplant dip). My buddy Dave ordered the Spanish Octopus. BAM!! Greatest octopi ever! They serve it with Saffron potatoes and those little grape tomatoes. Best thing on their menu. If you don't do octo but you like squid, the Spanish Paella is almost as great. It even has prawns and scallops and stuff. The sangria is a must. The staff is tremendous. A couple true comedians in the bunch. I even love the fact that you're jammed in tight with your comrades in arms, like sardines in a can, on a soccer night! 06/25 read more

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. read more

This is such a great place! I've been here twice. The second time we brought friends from out of town to try this amazing spot and it did not disappoint! Absolutely recommend the Moroccan lemon chicken and ask for a side of bread. The sauce is too good to leave behind. read more

the food was all delicious, we got the chop salad, the beef tenderloin, the paella, and the meatballs. it was definitely enough food for 2 people. the restaurant is small, you may get seated outside so bring a sweater or jacket. unfortunately the waitress forgot our crab cakes so we did not get a chance to try them, but our waitress did apologize and removed them from our check, which we appreciated. food and drinks came out fast, but took a while to get our check and pay. overall nice experience, will probably return to try more of the food! read more

Friendly, warm and delicious. Order the boquerones, they're fantastic! Order two servings.

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. read more

Great date night place with delicious tapas. The place was packed but the service was excellent, even though I'm sure it was a tough one to juggle. They don't take reservations so we waited about 20 minutes for a table. Ordered a bunch of things to share and I highly recommend whatever seasonal shrub drink they have on the menu - perfectly balanced and delicious. read more

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. read more

Intimate neighborhood spot with flavorful tapas and a varied wine list. Great for date night!

This place took me back to my Spain trip. Great ambiance - perfect for a date night. Food served in small plates for sharing and pretty amazing. Each dish was unique and so flavorful. I loved everything we got maybe with the exception of the chocolate ice cream, just not used to the texture and not the typical chocolate flavor I would expect. But everything else was perfect. I also heard their paella is good. Definitely coming back to try that next time. This place is quite popular, we went after 8:30pm on a Sunday and there was still a line out there. read more

Great little spot, excellent food. The lamb skewers were incredible. If I wasn't so full I would have ordered more. The eggplant wrapped dates were excellent too, it was fun to try them since the dates I normally see (and make) are wrapped in bacon. It was very dark inside so the pic of the dates didn't work out. Great bar, lots of choices. They get very crowded, we couldn't call ahead or anything so had to leave a name and wait. It was ok, but if it was cold or raining that definitely wouldn't work well, the other menu items looked excellent, I would recommend going. read more

Itto's Tapas - Lamb skewer - Moroccan Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Solid tapas place in West Seattle! I went here for a relatively early dinner, around 4:45pm, and the restaurant was not too busy. Most of the tables are dedicated to parties of 2 only, so any party of 3 or more will have a slightly harder time getting a table - we were sat at a booth next to the bar that is apparently 21+ only. We shared 7 dishes - Tortilla Española, stuffed dates, squid steak, Spanish paella, beef tenderloin (tapa portion), Moroccan meatball, and lamb brochette. We also tried 2 cocktails - Mai Tai and Sangre de Itto (their signature dry sangria). The Tortilla Española is a potato omelette which was a nice starter - felt more potato texture than egg texture here. The stuffed dates were hearty - the dates are stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped with a thin slice of eggplant which has a proper texture that goes with the mushier dates. The squid steak is nicely presented with thin slices of squid. The Spanish paella is one of my favorites here - the rice is slightly crispy and super flavorful, topped with generous amounts of seafood. The beef tenderloin is another one of my favorites, as the beef is prepared medium rare, juicy, and tender. I liked the hint of truffle as well as the potatoes that come along with it. The tapa portion was sufficient as we wanted to try more variety of dishes. The Moroccan meatball is good, nothing out of the ordinary. The lamb brochette was delicious - nicely marinated and prepared slightly under medium and juicy and comes with an eggplant dip. The Mai Tai is strong. The sangre de itto was not sweet at all so the flavors brought forth are from an infusion of wine and their selection of fruits. I enjoyed the orange wedge but the dried apricot was very bitter from the infusion of the alcohol. Food was strong 5 stars. The reason I took off a star is because of service. Food was delivered promptly and water refills are consistent, but for a restaurant of this caliber and price point, I expected dishes to be cleared whenever they have the opportunity, when we are finished. Even if they are unsure, simply asking if we are done with the dishes and clearing them if so, will make the dining experience less overwhelming. Otherwise, this place is a solid restaurant to check out if you are in the West Seattle area - parking is street parking but ample as we are out of the city. read more

Ambience - 6/10 -- Small place next to street, quite loud. Single unisex restroom. Background music of jazz instruments in a rock style. We arrived at 4:45pm and were seated next to the door, and the summer evening made it feel quite warm. Quality - 7/10 -- Okay food, very tapas vibe. Not particularly savory. In fact, I found myself craving my homemade steak+eggs neat the end. While the meat slices were well cut, presentation was good, and meat were juicy, the holistic taste experience did not match up. Perhaps it was the heat from being in the warmest part of the restaurant. Service - 7/10 -- Great, dishes delivered in a good order and good timing. Took a while to take order initially and check at the end. Only physical card, Visa and Mastercard accepted! Value - 5/10 -- $31+tax+tip/per for the food alone (we also ordered drinks). Final bill made this the priciest non-AYCE dinner I've had this year. Overall - 6/10 -- Overall experience felt uninspired, especially at this price point. It's not quite fancy food (Seattle has fancier food for less), it's not quite fast-casual speed. Underwhelming. read more

Absolutely fabulous experience! We moved to Washington four months ago from California, and this was the best food I've had since being up here. Such a fun experience with the tapas plates, so many unique and delectable flavors and incredible spices. Very memorable experience and am already planning our next trip back. Friendly staff and moody atmosphere with cool lighting. If you can get a table here you must! Crème brûlée cheesecake was a great finale to a wonderful meal read more

Next to Itto's Tapas is Itto's Vino wine bar with a more selective menu. Really like Moroccan food and this was overall good although somewhat hit or miss. The prawns were one of the best things we'd had in a long time, and made the meal. The octopus was too heavily laden with rosemary and oil, for our taste. The fusion take on harcha, similar to English muffins, was good. The peppers were forgettable as was the tortilla, though certainly not bad. If you're looking for fusion takes on Moroccan, you'll find good options here. read more

Oh my!!!! I loved this place! The highlight of my trip to Seattle. The food here is well worth the price. I actually think it was more than reasonably priced.

I've wanted to try tapas for the li fest time. We, well, I arrived a little after 5 on a Friday evening. Good thing because it filled up quickly after that. But there were no crazy lines or anything. I differentiate when I arrived vs the rest of my party because they did not make me wait until everyone was there before seating me like some restaurants do. The service was fast and friendly. I gave it it 4 stars (I would give it 4-1/2 if I could) because there's no padding on the seats and that's pretty uncomfortable for me these days. But I digress. The food was very good. We started with the spiced olives (absolutely necessary to go with your Spanish wine), croquettes and Moroccan meatballs. The meatballs were a little tough, but so tasty! Then we ordered the garlic shrimp from the specials board and paella which I've wanted med to try for so long. Both were amazing. I highly recommend Itto's. (I changed it to 5 stars. It's not their fault I have no padding left on my behind.) read more

Itto's is one of my Local favorites! Amazing food and tasty drinks! Highly recommend the beef tenderloin!

Delicious little appetizers with unusual but yummy flavors. Friendly servers. I want to go again.

Delicious food. Great cocktails. Service was good even though the restaurant was packed.

Best food in Seattle hands down. Owners are amazing. Service is flawless. Try the beef tenderloin and thank me later. Every staff member is... well, too good for words. Karen, Dave, Neil, Anthony, Max, Izzy. They are all to die for. read more

Delicious tapas perfect for sharing. Love the Moroccan and Spanish recipes - the food is different and special!

Stuck with an hour long wait for another restaurant Friday night and called ahead to see if there was a chance for a spot at Itto's. The matron was super professional; told us that they took no reservations as their restaurant was quite small but the evening was quieting down so they should be able to get the three of us seated no problem once we arrived. We were hungry when we got there from Ballard; got seated right away. We started with the Potato Croquettes. They were crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside, not too runny or cheesy but soft and so satisfying. We followed up with the Zaalook, an eggplant based spread served on baguettes. The eggplant was cool and refreshing and the baguettes were perfectly toasted; crispy but soft, moist, and warm on the inside. For mains we got the Squid Steak, Scallops, Beef Tenderloin, and Lamb Shank. I ordered a glass of cava to go with everything. Everything was delicious and succulent and perfectly seasoned/cooked, but most differently so DIFFERENT in flavor profile. With a lot of restaurants the first couple of courses would wow us but as the courses wore on the flavors just become repetitive. Not here; each course was delicious in there own unique way. The cava was also cool and refreshing and helped cut some of the richer plates. All in all ten out of ten; we're already planning our next trip to order the other half of the menu ;). read more

Not exactly the best tapas Ive had in seattle but it was average. Their sangria was average as well.

This is the type of place that I imagine when people talk about a cute little local place for a nice nightcap. I felt very adult (haha) and the atmosphere was super cool. The staff was very kind. My only complaint was the prices, but they were still within reason. I enjoyed everything I got! The Paella was good, the Cheese Platter was standard, and someone I went with ordered the beet salad. I don't choose to eat beets, but holy cow?! The beet salad was delicious and opened me to the world of beets. Would recommend this place, staff is super kind! Only complaint is lack of parking but, you get that with most of Seattle. read more

Dear Itto's, I'd totally find my way to West Seattle anytime without a functional bridge, even dodging parked cargo ships and ferries in my kayak and hoofing it the rest of the way to get up there.
