I have to agree with one other reviewer, who wrote something to the effect of, "Where have you been all these years??" A friendly family atmosphere. Outstanding, attentive service. Tremendous food. It makes me wonder why, oh why, does it seem to be so hard for other Italian restaurants to get it right? There are soooooo many mediocre or worse Italian places out there. My only criticism of Pizzuto's is the salad's surprisingly bad, and the soup isn't much better. If they correct these things, they will have perfection. read more

Very tasty food, generous portions, a genuine family feel and reasonable prices. This little gem is easy to walk past, but it has a loyal following in Hillman City, Seward Park and the surrounding neighborhoods for good reason. Great chicken marsala and their house dressing is great. Yum! read more

I don't even know where to begin.. the food is amazing, the service is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing. My friend and I randomly chose this place and it became an instant favorite. read more

Pizzutos has been a neighborhood staple for probably longer than I've been alive. My family used to get takeout from here 1-2 times a week when I was in high school and it's always a great and quick dinner idea. It's the type of place where the servers recognize you and in my family's case memorized "the usual" order for us which was always nice. Recently came back from college and tried the chicken parm, highly recommend. Also their warm rolls are amazing. Pro tip from my dad: if you get the minestrone soup ask for a cup of pesto on the side and mix it in, it's a game changer. read more

This was my first time and would be last time that I would make a trip to this restaurant. This place was recommended by my friends Mom that has lived in that area for over 30+ years. It was her birthday last week and she wanted to come here so I took my family of 12 there to celebrate her birthday. I always look at the reviews and the menu before I go when it's my first time to see what they have to offer and what my expectations should be. I did see some good and bad things but more of good. With 12 people the bill was expected to not be cheap. We ordered pizzas, chicken parm, spaghettis, ravioli, and shrimp scampi. As far as the food I was impressed with the ravioli and pizza.. the other things were ok. I've had better at other restaurants. The place looked to be family oriented, lots of family with little kids there and pretty clean. The reason for such a low rating and to why I would not come back or take my family there was because of their service. That will always be the number one reason why I would never come back. We were greeted at the door, our water was always refilled, but whenever we needed anything we were always referred to our waitress. From what my family and I saw, there was only one lady running around taking orders and taking payment. All others were seating people down or bringing out the food. This perception was not just from me, but it was from the person that recommended the place and my kids as well. The lady seemed to be irritated, not happy, didn't smile, and annoyed. We didn't ask for much. We placed two orders because first half of the party came first and second after. She was quick to serve others but we asked she kept saying it will be a couple minutes. When I told my kids to go get the check and pay, that took forever and multiple check ins to when we can get our bill. She came to check and see how our food was one time and that was it. It was mainly the other girls that would ask us if we wanted to clear our plates or get boxes. With just this interaction it left a really bad taste in my mouth and I would rather spend my money at a place that wants my service. read more

Other reviews mention terrible service. That was my experience, as well. We had to wait 15 minutes for a table even though there were some available. Another 20 minutes until I finally called someone over to order. That person said, "oh, I'll get your server" and put a basket of bread on our table. Another 40 minutes to get our dinner. Dessert never came. As for the food, my husband loved the Puttenesca.I did not like the Lasagna. It was like eating a plate of melted mozzarella. read more

So sad. Super busy and neither of us finished our dinner so we were looking forward to lunch for tomorrow. Instead of boxing it up server tossed it. Her bad and such a waste. So looking forward to my next day meal. Plus, only an "I'm sorry" what a bunch of wasted food. That's a crime. No excuse. read more

I am a regular customer at Pizzuto's and I have never been disappointed with the food or service. Their food is so delicious and they have perfect kids menus. They are always friendly and they serve delicious bread with dinner. When I walk into Pizzuto's they begin to make my drink because they get to know their customers and remember me. read more

This place gave great service even tho we had a large crowd. Very quick and friendly staff. I will be returning to Pizzuto's

What a great experience! It's a relatively small place but the food can't be beat. We had five for dinner, all had something different from the menu, and each of the entrées was outstanding. The service was excellent; the food, we have never had better. Rest assured this place will be on my go back on a regular basis list. read more

Pizzutos is one of my favorite Italian restaurants to eat at. The family owned local vibe is so strong once you walk in the door. Everything on the menu is amazing from the homemade gnocchi to the tiramisu. Get here early if you want their lasagna or manicotti being it sells out fast! Not to mention the great service ! read more

This place is crazy good we have been coming here for the last four years it's our families go to place for birthdays and holidays

Had cheese filled ravioli with pesto sauce. The ravioli was very standard, not even sure if it was made fresh on site. This was the first time dining at an italian restaurant that did not have any dishes that included spinach; not even a pizza topping option. So why three stars? The pesto sauce made me completely void my first two issues. The pesto simply marvelous!! The best pesto I've tasted on the West coast. Had leftovers the next day and flavors had matured even more. Entrees included a simple salad and warm rolls that were melt in your mouth delicious. Service was good and our waiter was hilariously entertaining. I'm looking forward to returning, maybe I will smuggle in my own spinach (LOL). read more

What a great place to eat! It was our first time here and I would definitely come back. I had Prawn Scampi and my boyfriend had Spaghetti Carbonara. Both were delicious and a very nice, manageable portion, which is something I'm always nervous about when ordering plates of pasta. I don't like being overwhelmed by a giant pile of food. I love that this is a local family restaurant and right in our neighborhood. read more

i get something different every time i go there and i have loved every dish. the service is great. they make us feel right at home. they remember our name every time. the tirimisu is a knock out! and my son get's the spaghetti with meat balls, it's enough for a couple dinners and eats all of his left overs! my mom gets the chicken marsala... i agree with her, it 's great. the bread is always warm and good. lots of love! read more

This is a cute place with great food. We had an older gentleman as our server and he was so sweet! I usually tip 20% but tipped extra for him because he worked so hard. It was really busy when we went but the service was still great. I will definitely be back! read more

My wife and I live right around the corner from this place and have only been a handful of times. Before tonight, our experiences had been mediocre. Tonight, though, the takeout we got from there was very good - balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, and good value. We'll be coming back more often for sure. read more

This place is fantastic for comfort food. Family friendly, huge portions, great food! Get the lasagna verde, it'll blow your mind! Incredible consistent, perfect neighborhood staple. read more

This is our neighborhood Italian place, as we live very close by it. It's such a great family restaurant. Friendly staff, and great food. I think it's also been here for 20 years in the neighborhood. My favorite is the spaghetti Carbonara, but my husband always gets chicken parm. Their salads and rolls are really amazing too. read more

well-priced family-style food in a kid-friendly environment. This is the way I remember Italian restaurants being when I was a kid. No snooty, over-engineered food here. read more

Love it! The fettuccine Alfredo was amazing. And the salad was great too! Nothing can top the bread though, maybe only Ed the waiter. Love this place highly recommend. read more

Absolutely Amazing. You will not be disappointed if you are looking for traditional comforting Italian food get in here and try it. Sooooo good! read more

We love Pizzutos! My husband and I eat there once or twice a week. Great neighborhood and family friendly. Ed, Jennie and Beau all provide excellent service. Ed always keeps us laughing. The food is consistenly great. The variety of dishes is good, although I do wish Corey would have more specials. They are great when he does have them. I wish the garlic bread (not on the menu) was better. read more

Cory & Jenni make this the greatest Italian restaurant in Seattle, kudos to you both and your crew! It's been a while since I was there thanks to a life change but I will be back, they can't keep me away forever..... I love everything on the menu, there are no duds. Really partial to the chicken marsala, veal picata and the carbonara......yummm! Keep up the good work guys....miss you all. Steve Collier read more

By far the best thin crust pizzas, i dont know what they use but their Italian sodas are to die for.

I just sent this to my co-workers and realized I may as well write it as a review. If you can get here, and you like italian food, you HAVE to try this place. It is A-MAZE-ZING! My favorite is Chicken Parmesan on penne, but they also do an incredible forte sausage, onion, peppers dish (name escapes me, Galliano or something like that)... Wife's favorite is either Chicken Marsala (I'm not a fan of white wine dishes, but she loves it) or Spaghetti Carbonara (AMAZING!). The best part is their home made Roquefort salad dressing. It's like blue cheese on steroids, but without that bitter aftertaste. The 1st weekend of each month, they do a clam chowder that is literally the best I've ever had. It's crazy good. Prices are reasonable at $9-$15 per plate (includes salad OR soup appetizer, and unlimited rolls or breadsticks). Their homemade tiramisu for desert... also... the best thing since sliced bread. AN ABSOLUTE MUST VISIT!!! read more

I love Pizutto's. It is such a warm, family restaurant that is also good for date or night out. Friendly staff, great food, homemade gnocchi, reasonable prices, and a long history in the neighborhood. Everyone in our family loves it! read more

Our family of five loves Pizzuto's. A friendly neighborhood Italian joint with delicious food at a good price means we eat here often. Take out or dine-in, everyone gets what they want. Papa gets extra meatballs with his spaghetti, Mama gets her Chicken Parmigiana and kids love all the noodles. And when Grandparents visit we let Pizzuto's do the cooking for us all. read more

Really pathetic place.. I really hoped it would be good but the place is filthy when you walk in there's a haze after covering everything the mirrors are filthy carpet is filthy bathroom filthy. The food is so mediocre and Bland. I'm sorry but that's honestly the truth read more

Forever love their bread, roquefort, and gnocchi, etc. Only complaint is the lack of updated salads..since about 1990 or so... Throw in some new veggies or a variety of lettuces. Anything, we'll be delighted! Otherwise, you can't go better than Pizzutos. read more

This is my favorite Italian restaurant. The food is amazing. I would recommend the spaghetti or Lasagna, however my husband recommends the Veal or the gnocchi. I have been going to Pizzuto's for 20 plus years and have never had a bad meal. I highly recommend trying it! The only thing I don't care for is that it's closed on Sunday's. read more

My favorite Italian restaurant ever! Actually no. My favorite restaurant period! Best eggplant parm. And the pizza is great too. Must end the meal with Tiramisu read more

My kids love this restaurant so much We have a hard time eating anywhere else. We know the staff and kids watch Cory the owner cook the food. The chicken parm is our favorite. read more

Came here for the second time last weekend and was once again blown away with the service. As soon as they seat you you are given water and bread right away. The servers are very knowledgeable about the menu and are always ready to be of service even when it's busy. The original chicken pasta dish I had ordered was almost inedible. I forgot exactly what it was called but it had a lemon and white wine sauce which I didn't enjoy at all. My boyfriend called upon our server Liz and she was happy to replace the dish for me with no issues. You can tell that this is a family owned establishment that takes pride in their restaurant. That's why it's always packed as well so if you have a party over 5, make a reservation! I'll definitely be back. Thank you Liz for taking care of my family and I so well! read more

Had the good fortune of dining at Pizzuto's for the first time and have high praise for this incredibly authentic family-style restaurant. Pizzuto's is located in a quaint Seattle neighborhood and has been a staple in this community for many years. The clam spaghetti was the best I've ever eaten. Generous portions of fresh clams in the shell were seasoned with the right amount of garlic and the pasta was perfectly cooked. The flavor of the sauce combined with the clams was outstanding. My husband had eggplant parmesan that was equally as delicious. A shared tiramisu to end the night was terrific. Service was prompt and attentive. Can't wait to return to this great establishment! read more

Amazing service and incredible food. I've been coming here for years and can't say enough good things about Pizzutos!

Always excellent food and service. The Abruggio (ravioli and spaghetti with meatball and sausage) is fantastic, as are all of their dishes. Great low key family place. read more

Great food- Real Italian ( a rarity in Seattle!), good prices, really friendly staff, and GREAT bread! Love this intimate little place.

Local neighborhood Italian restaurant that I have not been to in some time. From what I understand the original family is back in charge...should be a good thing. Ordered a few pasta dishes and a couple pizzas. The pastas were good and portions were big. The sauces were well seasoned were not too overbearing. Pizzas were good...mostly for the kids. The ate them up so I am guessing they were A OK. Good crowd...good to see them doing well. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!! My boyfriend and I arrived first to celebrate my sister's birthday at Pizzutos. Before we even walked in one of the waitresses looked us up and down and wouldn't hold the door open for us like she did for the larger group in front of us. This was especially frustrating because our arms were full with presents and balloon bouquets. After we walked in we found ourselves standing in the seating area with the entire staff looking at us, but wouldn't approach us. After what felt like forever, one young guy reluctantly led us to a tablel and instead of asking who's birthday it was he immediately told us we have to tie the balloons to the chairs so they wouldn't get in the way. I thanked him for finally greeting us, and added because nobody else did and he blamed it on everyone being overwhelmed by the balloons. I extremely haaate when people pull the race card however I am Native American and my boyfriend is black so after receiving consistent bad attitudes towards us I was starting to feel like this was a racist situation. After my family arrived things didn't get better, the waitress that didn't hold the door for us continued to make a big deal of the balloons and overall made us uncomfortable. Our actual waitress got my dad's order wrong, and THE only person who was nice to us was an older waiter who came over to say he wanted to join the party. :) All in all, it's hard to believe that after 20 years they are still there because of the way they treat people. Don't get me wrong the food was good, but after my experience I am never going back!! Beyond rude. read more
