Pizutto's is a gem in Seattle. Great Italian food and amazing service. We got spaghetti and sausage, and tortellini alla romana. They gave us a ton of food for a great price! Came with bread and choice of salad or soup! Super tasty read more

As far as neighborhood Italian joints go this place is a gem. I've had better Italian food but I've paid a lot more for it. Besides Italian food shouldn't be expensive.... it's pasta and sauces. But Italian food should be cooked with care and Pizzuto's does that very well. I suggest: -Try the meatballs. Seriously, they are excellent. -Order wine, bottles that cost $30 here cost $60 downtown -Try the specials when available, they often highlight fresh and seasonal ingredients. -The carbonara won't do anything to lower your cholesterol but it is fabulous. -Bring kids, their meals are cheaper than McDonalds'. read more

Service was great, food great, atmosphere great... reminded me of the old Italian family restaurants I grew up with. I got the egg plant parmesan. Waitress stated it would be a while but didn't notice as they brought out bread, salad and drinks. When it came It was a huge portion and came with a side of spaghetti. When I took a bite the combination of Marinara sauce, basil, cheese and egg plant was perfect. It was so good but I couldn't finish it. My spouse got the pizza with pepperoni, artichokes, mushroom. I had a slice too and it reminded me of homemade. Delicious. We finished it off with the Tartufo. If you like hazelnuts you'll love this. We ended up taking half of the egg plant parmesan and half the pizza home So the price for a pizza, parmesan, beer, salads, bread, soda and dessert was $43. Not bad. Will definitely will be back. read more

I grew up in this neighborhood so I've been going here ever since I was little. I absolutely love the staff, the owners, and of course the food! I'm a sucker for Italian cuisine, and I love places like Tavolata, Barolo, etc., but there's just something about Pizzuto's that I absolutely adore. Maybe it's the super cute ambiance, or the warm welcome you receive when you walk in the door, or it could be that the food is just so simple and delicious. Nothing fancy, just great Italian food. When you walk in, it immediately feels like you're going to a friend's house for a dinner party. The space is warm, inviting, and super adorable. I also love their Roquefort salad dressing and french rolls! Best way to start your dinner. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely stop by for a great meal! read more

This place is amazing. Here's why: -Fresh baked bread and butter: soft and warm and fresh with a nice crust -All staff were very friendly, helpful, and attentive -Entrees come with either a side salad or minestrone - anchovy lovers can get their Caesar salad with a few pieces sprinkled in if they'd like -Chicken Parm was delicious: spaghetti was simple and good, the chicken was well prepared and the portion was large enough for me to box some home for later -Rigatone Abboccato(?) - the one with the pink sauce - pasta was al dente, homemade sausage had a wonderful smoky kick to it, and the sauce was rich. Also boxed half of it to take home -They have some homemade pastas and the staff said the Carbonara was good - we'll have to try it next time. The ambience was homey and family friendly. Since it's not in downtown Seattle, there was ample free street parking. They're closed Sunday and Monday and open at 5 for dinner. We came on a Tuesday. We'll definitely be back! read more

What's a Hidden gem. Apparently this place has been around for over 20 years. I just recently discovered this Italian restaurant and I tell ya, this is the best tasting Italian food in Seattle. I had the Siciliana and my wife had the Chicken Marsala. I recommend making reservations. There only open 4pm-8pm Tuesday-Saturday. read more

Horrible Italian food. Very mediocre Price is reasonable but I am not willing to pay for food that is not so good. Large portions over sauced. Pasta and meatballs not good. 1 star is too much. read more

Horrible Italian food. Not sure why people like this place. I live only 3 blocks away and have been here twice. First time I didn't like it. And a year later, I thought, I'll give it another try. I was wrong. It still is awful. I got a chicken dish with mushrooms and artichoke. It tasted entirely like alcohol, like they didn't cook the sauce off enough. My son got the mixed spaghetti and ravioli with meatball and sausage. Marinara is sour and sausage very dry. I cook better than this at home! The only thing going for this place is that it's a neighborhood place, portions are really large, and free soup or salad. Price is reasonable but I'd be willing to pay a little more for better tasting food. This has the same stars as La Medusa, a top Italian restaurant in seattle which is strange and why I rate this restaurant a 1 star. read more

I have been to this restaurant plenty of times, but it's been a few years. I was craving really good Italian food, so I decided this was the place to go! We had reservations at 6pm for 6 and were immediately when we arrived Place wasn't all that crowded for a Saturday night, which surprised me. Service at this place is AWESOME! So friendly and attentative. We all ordered our meals, I ordered the fettuccini Alfred with chicken and mushrooms, husband had the chicken parmesan, parents had the Abrutzzi ( 1/2 spaghetti, 1/2 ravioli) and friends of ours had the chicken parmesan. Our waitress brought out our salads and the BEST HOT ROLLS I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!! The salads were cold and fresh, best blue cheese dressing I have had in a long time! We only had to wait about 15 minutes for our food and it was brought to our table piping hot!! Chicken parmesan looked awesome, had a few bites from my husbands plate....amazing. Thin chicken breast coated with just enough breading and cheese, cooked perfectly. My fettuccini was good, not great. I really need a good cheesy Alfred sauce and many places it's so bland. I have yet to find an Alfred sauce I love. I was hoping I would find the perfect Alfred sauce at Pizzuto's but sadly, it wasn't . It was slightly bland, but the chicken and the mushrooms made up for it! Prices at this place were great. Fettuccini was only $17 and you get a huge portion. All of us took leftovers home!!!! I love Pizzuto's and will continue to dine there!!! read more

Great Italian food. Been here a couple times for family style dinners. Always a good spot for relaxed family dining. Tonight's service was very slow however. I hope this isn't the new trend in Seattle restaurants! I'll be back with fingers crossed for speedier service. read more

I have been going to Pizzuto's since I was a little kid. Their food has not changed and has been consistently good for many, many years. I always order the minestrone soup but I have also tried the sausage and lentil soup which was fabulous! I hope they serve it often. After my appetizer, I usually order the spaghetti carbonara or the spaghetti with meatballs. Both dishes are flavorful. I have also tried the pesto and chicken parmesan. All the dishes I have tried were great. Pizzuto's also has fabulous dinner rolls that I find myself eating too much of before my pasta dish comes out...yum! read more

First the good - we were seated promptly on a Saturday evening and kids quickly got menus and crayons. We picked out our meals very affordable and tasty spaghetti and meatballs and cheese ravioli for the kids. A good and very inexpensive glass of red wine for me. Everything was very affordable. Now what could be improved - my chicken parmigiana was just bland. It needed something in the breading. I never add salt to my dish in a restaurant and I did so here just to get a taste. Second, it was incredibly hot in the restaurant for a rather cool day in early June. Couldn't imagine being there in the summer. And the check took forever to come as my kids got antsy. I would definitely go back and try some other items. read more

Food is amazing. Sauce. Meatballs. Ravioli. I am pasta crazy. Can't believe this is a block from my house and I haven't been. House wine isn't earth-shattering. The staff is young and they run everywhere. Otherwise five star food. The red sauce is tart...just perfect. Bread is killer. Can't wait to try the pizza that I am taking home. Unfortunately I am going to need to buy new clothes now. Betting none of my pants will fit next week. read more

Pizzuto's - Merry Christmas momma. I've found my new home. - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The service was outstanding, and the food was decent, but not great. The pizzas may have been the highlight, although I wasn't impressed with how they packed the left over slices vertically all stuck together in a small container. The restaurant is casual and generally comfortable, yet it can also feel a bit crowded. The vibe of the restaurant is old school American Italian, yet some of the dishes lacked substance, quality, authenticity, and care on the preparation. For example, the spaghetti sauce was really boring without enough soul and flavor, and the noodles were just basic. Meanwhile, the chicken parmesan was not evenly cooked, very oily, and even partially burnt. It wasn't sufficiently coated with sauce either. Prices were reasonable, but the very small spumoni ice cream portion was outright stingy. Beyond the pizzas, the food could use more effort. read more

Low key but delicious Italian restaurant. I've had a few of the pastas, gnocchi and carbonara being my favorites. Haven't tried the pizza yet, but will go for that next. Always take a tiramisu home for dessert. Prices are pretty good for Seattle. The quantity is large enough to either share or take home for another meal. read more

Yum! My go to place when I want some Italian comfort food. Husband used to work here when he was a teenager so this place holds a special place in his heart. I like small family run places like this. They don't try to overdo it with the food, decorations or ambiance. Just good old fashioned Italian food. The staff is great and we are always greeted as soon as we walk in the door. And we always have warm bread while we wait. My usual is a salad with Roquefort dressing and the prawns pescara. Husband prefers the pizzas or the abruzzi. And I can very rarely say this about any other place, but they are so incredibly consistent with their food. I know what I'm going to get when I'm ordering it, no surprises. And it's always great! read more

All I can say is they have the best eggplant parm in the world. To me it delicious! I've been eating here for 30 years and it tastes amazing every visit. I wish they had one in San Francisco. I hope they will give me the recipe someday. The bread tools are always warm and taste fresh, mixed italian salad is terrific and the pesto is a must try. read more

Delicious food, casual but classy ambiance. I'm definitely glad we decided to give this place a try while we are in Seattle.

Fantastic! From start to finish it was a wonderful experience! The service, food, drinks and, desserts were excellent. Thank you so much!! read more

After having a birthday dinner for two at Pizzuto's, I have to say that the reviews are mostly spot-on. We ordered the Chicken Parmesan and Prawn Scampi. Positives: Casual environment, good menu variety, reasonable prices, in a quiet neighborhood setting. Negatives: Bathrooms needed a little attention (and probably some updating), parking can be a little tricky, they can be kind of stingy with bread unless you keep asking for more. Main course: Tasted great! Generous portions and had a home cooked quality we loved. Chicken Parmesan seemed to be freshly breaded, marinara was flavorful, and spaghetti was cooked perfectly. Prawn Scampi was tasty as well though we felt it suffered from too many onions. We had one meal with a salad and one with minestrone soup. The salad was fairly basic (lettuce, carrots, croutons, dressing - the Roquefort dressing is AMAZING!) but good and the minestrone was sadly kind of boring, both in flavor and ingredients. The star of the show though, honestly, was the bread! Seriously, so so good. It came out piping hot from the oven, with a crisp crust and warm, soft inside. So satisfying with some butter! It didn't last long and we were disappointed when we weren't offered more before our main dishes arrived after getting just two pieces at the start. That didn't deter us from asking for more, but it felt a bit like they complied (with two more pieces, lol) somewhat begrudgingly. It's bread! It's cheap! Be more generous with it! But it is free so can't complain too much. Drink: Soda and water. As expected. Dessert: We shared one order of tiramisu. It was unremarkable but tasted good! Service: We were sat quickly and served water immediately. Bread was slow to come, as I think it was still being baked. Our server was friendly and very helpful with menu questions and recommendations. Overall we really enjoyed our experience and meal at Pizzuto's. We look forward to a return trip to try some of the other pasta dishes as well as the pizza, which looks delicious as well! read more

I feel bad because I've been religiously been coming here for a few months (after being happily surprised at our first experience), and have not yet posted about what I would say is one of Seattle's top hidden gems. I know my way around an Italian plate of food, and I can honestly say the quality of the food this place puts out is utterly outstanding. Whether it be one of the many delicious pasta dishes to the more meat focused plates, I have not, for the most part, been disappointed with any of them. I will just say that tonight's takeaway seemed to deliver smaller portions than normal. I will chalk that up to an exceptionally busy night for cooking staff. And for those who routinely get takeout like we do, I can honestly say they have never once messed up any of our delivery orders. A feat in and of itself. Every item is always perfectly marked and packed with great care. In all my years of frequenting Seattle's best "advertised" Italian places, I can say this place deserves a place at the top of the list. read more

Amazing!! The food is so delicious and reminds me so much of what we had in Italy. Desserts are so yummy! Tiramisu is my fav and the summer lemon cello dessert is heavenly. I love the meat sauce and the pizza. All of it! They are also super accommodating when you want to switch things around a bit (ie: half pasta half gnocchi) My new fav!! Been there 4 times so far and decided to finally write a review :) read more

We have been going to Pizzuto's for over ten years. It is great to have a neighborhood Italian restaurant near by and affordable. Pros: great food (all of the pastas, and chicken parmigiana), GREAT prices, the roquefort salad dressing and warm bread to start the meal Cons: can have a long wait on weekends, sometimes when busy the food isn't quite as good, but still better than your average Italian restaurant. read more

Great food! I live in the neighborhood and eat there frequently. Tonight I had the ravioli with pesto sauce, it was awesome! They also have wonderful caesar salad and great tiramisu! The staff are friendly and the service is great, I recommend Pizzuto's! read more

So happy to order our favorites for takeout - sad not to eat in but felt safe with their preventive actions and the food was delicious!

Amazing old-school Italian restaurant with vinyl, checkered table cloths. Come hungry: the hot bread and butter is delicious, and pasta and pizza portions are generous. The eggplant parmesan, pizza, and tortellini is all delicious, and I can't get enough of their little house salads. You will not be disappointed. My only wish is that Pizzuto's was open on Sunday nights. read more

Staying at a Airbnb close by and this was recommended by the host. I got the Manicotti and my mother a pasta with shrimp dish with heavy garlic. They were both outstanding. The staff was friendly and the service time was as expected for a meal that was actually cooked and not heated from frozen. Highly recommend but be aware they are very popular and therefore busy. I believe they take reservations but I am not positive as we just walked in for dinner at the spur of the moment. read more

Pizzuto's is great for triggering the nostalgia of my friends who grew up eating their food. I've eaten there three times in the past few years and the food was mediocre on each occasion. Watery, sweet pasta and overly cheesy pizza will not get me back for a 4th try. The place makes me miss Vince's. read more

Great food! Mom and Pop style place. Good service and great food. Definitely recommend the chicken parmigiana

I grew up eating at pizzutos long before it even expanded to what it is today. While the size of the restaurant has changed and the faces of the wait staff has changed over the years, what hasn't changed is the family feel an amazing recipes. The pesto is the best I've had anywhere, the tiramisu is delicious, and they always accommodate me when I want something. I love Pizzutos!! If you want good Italian food, good service, and family friendly, eat here! read more

I love that Pizzuto's is in my neighborhood -- but I would drive a fair distance to go there. When you want a casual neighborhood Italian restaurant, you can't beat Pizzuto's. The food is great, the service is friendly and prompt and the bread is amazing. Highly recommended! read more

I've been here a handful of times over the years and always look forward to the piping hot scissor rolls. Period. During my recent visit I tried the chicken marsala and my daughter had the fettuccine alfredo with prawns. We started off with small salads that came with the dinner - just some greens and a couple of carrot sticks. I had memories of a salad with shredded mozzarella and olives, but noticed that was a salad you had to order separately. Next time. I was expecting a bowl of pasta covered with dark brown soupiness but instead was treated to a big twirl of spaghetti with garlic and olive oil and two huge pieces of chicken and a ton of mushrooms. Loved the sauce since it's finished with cream and was luscious. The fettuccine was good, topped with the right amount of prawns. I brought home half of my meal and actually ate the leftovers instead of tossing them out in Monday's trash. That's a big deal in my house, where things are usually stockpiling till garbage day. Love this little family place. read more

Service may take a little while because it's always full, and rightfully so. Portions are huge and the food is hella bomb.

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, where have you been all of these yrs? Ah yes,in a neighborhood I rarely ever visit. We were warmly greeted by a kindly old waiter upon arrival. The atmosphere was homely and very family friendly. I had the chicken marsala and I really enjoyed it. Eating off my freind's plates ( and there were a lot of them) I also tasted the meatballs ( good), the chicken parm. ( good) and the fed. alfredo ( I really liked it). Found nice tv parking right in front. Great for small groups. read more

Mediocre pizza, soggy salads, dated pasta dished. Court of last resort for neighborhood eats.

I wonder if the people raving about the food here ever cook at home? My friend and I had the pizzas and a salad. One bite in and we just looked at each other and laughed mostly out of pity. How can an Italian restaurant not use seasoning? These pizzas might as well been made from paper with some plain tomato sauce .probably canned,on top. read more

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

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
