Proof we are here (unfortunately)

Service: 3 stars Food: 2 stars Atmosphere: Just sad My advice: Go somewhere else, this place will be probably be blown over soon enough for something new. I mean, this is Bothell. I grew up in the Seattle area and coming here was a treat. Over the years I've enjoyed the restaurant. While I haven't been back in years, this was the last time and I'll NEVER go back. The restaurant was quiet, 4 in the afternoon and we waited for 14 minutes before anyone came to bring water or ask for drinks. We almost walked out and went someone (we should have). My son and I ordered chicken Parmesan and my wife ordered a pizza. The salad came for each of the chicken Parmesan dishes. They were covered in cheese and not much lettuce. Awhile later the pizza came to the table and they left and said the rest will be out shortly. We waited for quite sometime and one of the chicken Parmesan came to the table and was told the next would be out shortly. While I waited my son offered me a piece of his garlic bread which was buttered bread, no garlic to be tasted, my son said the same. A while later my chicken Parmesan finally arrived. When we finished and the server asked if the meal was okay. We gave him the feedback explained here and explained service seemed to be non existent. His response back was that the restaurant help turnover rate is quite high. I explained the restaurant over the years had been quite good. However, we will never be back. The server said he had heard many times the place was better than it currently is from many people who had come in. We paid our bill and left.

I have been to Sparta's at Mill Creek a while ago and really liked the food. We wanted a dine-in experience with some great ambiance, so we decided to try the Bothell location. Hospitality was really great. It was a busy evening, we called in advance to make a reservation. The table was ready when walked in. We were helped by Alondra that day. Started with a mini pizza - #26 - Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Olives, Onions & Sliced tomatoes. Ordered a Lasagna with the soup, Cheese Ravioli, Root beer float and couple of sodas. The dine-in experience was great. They served the beverages first followed by the Salad. Also served the bread on the side with Olive oil/vinegar. Took a little bit time for the main courses to arrive. Really enjoyed the pizza. Top! The cheese ravioli was not impressive as last time we tried it; so as lasagna. Something was missing in those. Couldn't make out what's lacking! We told Alondra about this as well, she mentioned she will take the feedback to the chef. The overall experience was nice. The food was not up to the expectations. May be one off day. There are plenty to try from their options. We are disappointed, but that's not stopping us from going back and try their other options soon!

I usually get takeout from Sparta's location in Lynnwood. Haven't tried the new location in Mill Creek. However, this visit on 5/10/23 in Bothell was a convenient detour from Woodinville via Hwy 522 on the way home to Shoreline. Convenient parking lot, large interior dining area and also an outdoor patio area - perfect for the warmer, drier months to dine al fresco. Pleasant person at the host/reception stand. Menu items include starters, apps, pizza, pasta, and desserts. I placed my order onsite - large Italian sausage with extra cheese (w/ discount, tax, tip = about $35). It was a relatively brief wait and was handed a fresh, hefty, piping hot pizza. Back on the road and stuck in the usual commute traffic, the pizza traveled well and was relatively warm by the time I arrived home for dinner. Great local indie with convenient locations in Lynnwood, Bothell, and Mill Creek. Solid choice for both dine in and takeout.

Pepperoni, sausage, hot honey, heaven, leave me in peace...

I'm not sure what's happening but this pizza is melting in my mouth. The cheese is heavenly, what is it? I got a pepperoni and sausage slice and added some hot honey on top and honestly if anyone interrupts me eating this they will land somewhere on the scale of being blissfully mindlessly ignored or have their head bitten off (ewe, gross, don't make me, don't ruin my pizza mouth flavor). I'm a pizza snob from working in a New York style pizzeria as a 20 something and it takes a lot to impress me. This impresses me. Now, shhh, I'm eating...

The #5 plus onions. That includes Pepperoni, Canadian bacon, Mushrooms, and Green Peppers. Excellent!

See all

Excellent experience from start to finish. The waitstaff and front-of-house team were outstanding…read more A great dining experience should make you feel genuinely seen as a customer, and Grazie absolutely delivers on that. Our waitress was superb--patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. The food was phenomenal. We ordered several appetizers and every single one hit; the crab dip alone is reason enough to come back. The Caesar salad was crisp with a perfectly balanced dressing, and the pasta--wow. My only minor criticism is the desserts. They weren't bad, but they were clearly outshined by the appetizers and main courses by a wide margin. That aside, we'll definitely be returning. Bonus points for the music--it was spot on and exactly what you want in an Italian restaurant.

Grazie was a mixed experience for us. We started with the bruschetta and ravioli fritti appetizers,…read morewhich were fine but nothing memorable. For mains, we ordered the margherita pizza, pesto penne, fettuccine alfredo, pasta primavera, and gorgonzola tortellini. Overall, the food was okay but did not taste very authentic, although the tortellini really stood out. The service was great and very attentive, although it felt a little aggressive at the end when plates were cleared almost immediately after we finished. The decor also felt dated and could definitely use an update to match the menu and prices. Not a bad spot, but there is room for improvement in both the food and atmosphere.

The pizza here is delicious. I like the beer selection. The waitress in the bar is very welcoming…read moreand friendly.

So I don't think I've been to a restaurant where there's a 3.5% surcharge because the restaurant…read moredoesn't pay their staff enough? Is that the reason? I honestly don't get it, but I still tipped above 15% for the service regardless. Service was very attentive, so I do feel they deserve a reasonable tip. But if the restaurant needs the customer to help them pay for their staff with this added surcharge to the bill, then maybe it's better for the staff to find a better job. Seems strange to me. But anyways, regardless, I enjoyed the food quite a bit. I'm usually a pretty tough critique on Italian food since it's one of my favorite cuisines. So for me to say the food is good should say a lot. I got their chicken risotto and I was impressed by it. I also got an opportunity to try some of their pizza and the crust was done very well. Not a floppy pizza. They have a proper pizza oven for baking it. Very good! The restaurant atmosphere feels quite high end. Great for date night, business dinners, or a fancy family meal. The restaurant did feel a bit crowded and tight though. Especially with how busy it was. I honestly think this place has great food. I just hope the staff gets paid enough. Like, I'll tip! Just don't have me pay for what the employer should be paying them. Just have me pay them for their great service.
