    Tagliatelle
    Debbie P.

    We're huge fans of Vendemmia! It's such a cute neighborhood spot in Madrona! Our first visit was during happy hour for the $2 oysters from 4-5pm. My hubby and I only wanted to snack, so we had a few drinks, the oysters and shared the delicious Tonnarelli Del Mar, tomato fennel. This first visit made an impression, so we decided to visit again. On our second visit, we started with the Roasted Cabbage and shared the Tonarelli and Tagliatelle. All were great! But the absolute star was the Roasted Cabbage!!! It has anchovy, garlic and pistacchio - add a spritz of lemon to brighten up the dish and add some acidity - and it was devoured!!! The Tonarelli was made with squid ink and had clams and the Tagliatelle had braised beef. Both were delicous in their own rights, but I think we'll explore more of the Starters on our next go. Note their menu appears to change with the season. And service was great!

    PORK CHOP with stone fruit chutney, rose and hazelnut dukkah
    Brad O.

    The pork chop here is THE BEST I've ever had at a restaurant. The chop was tender and perfectly cooked. The chutney had deep, rich tomato and mild Indian flavors. Portion size was generous. I will day dream about this thing! The server said this takes 35 minutes to cook, and it is worth the wait! My girlfriend also loved her CRESTE DI GALLO, which the server recommended. We also took the server's recommendation for an appetizer, the Beef Tartare. It was tender and savory with the toasted bread the perfect size for delivery. For dessert, we ordered the olive oil cake. The slice of cake was HUGE and would've been enough for four people. It was topped with a reddish pink, mildly sweet frosting that I *think* was rhubarb. Not entirely sure, but delicious regardless. Drinks were also delicious, but the food was tbe real star of the show! Service was attentive and the server gave great recommendations. Overall, phenomenal! Would highly recommend and look forward to returning soon!

    Butter lettuce

    This is such a wonderful little spot for happy hour or dinner in a very warm inviting space with some very tasty food. We did not try the pasta but when we go back, we are definitely going to try a couple of the pasta dishes. The warm freshly made focaccia was marvelous. The octopus was yummy and the sauce was bright and just the right amount of spice. The butter lettuce was so fresh with bright herbs, crunchy fruit, and thoughtfully placed dressing.

    I'm never one for absolutes, but Vendemmia has the best tasting menu in Seattle. From portion sizes to variety to to-go boxes packed in between courses; we struck a goldmine. We tried booking for Valentine's, and even a month beforehand we found ourselves stonewalled. Bookings are likely not as competitive during non- Holiday season. From protein to veggies drizzled in white chocolate to wagyu, each course beautifully complimented the other. They are portioned to perfection- we never felt too stuffed nor in need of a supplement. As a wine snob, I was impressed. I don't even like Chardonnay, but I liked their pairing. Happy Dining to all!

    We were looking for someplace to meet up with some friends while in Seattle and so we made a reservation at Vendemmia...we're glad we did! Here is what we noticed: - Great set of cocktail options...I had the Rachel's White Negroni, which I still can't stop talking about. - The food was amazing! I started with the Snap Peas with Dungeness Crab and my wife got the Frisee & Radicchio salad...that salad was especially good. For our meals, I got the Tonnarelli and my wife got the Tagliatelle. Both were great but, again, my wife's won out! - Service was really good...we were spending a lot of time catching up with our friends and didn't feel rushed at all, but we also didn't feel neglected. - Location had a cool, modern vibe! Bottom line: Great food, great atmosphere, great service...what else can you ask for?

    This is a neighborhood part that we should go to more. It speciality is seafood and they do a great job. We had the salad and it was great as were the oysters. The cod was great as well. The location. Is lovely in Madrona with a nice quite location across from red cow and next to the Madrona bar. It's the kind of pal d we all want near us and a nice complement to red cow down the strett

    Oysters and bubbles lead to pants off "troubles "

    Very cool Italian spot with heavy French influence ... Had the halibut (or cod?)...was honey, apple motifed deliciousness ...alongside oysters for an appy, a bottle of rose Prosecco bubbles and tonarelli... and some gelato to wash it all down...the latter being the sole thing we ordered that would not inspire a repeat... Gaston (the name we gave the French owner) took over our table and delighted us with his hospitality and good humor...even after being tested with his views on the Macrons (French president and wife brigiiiite whom may or may not have been born with a cannoli whilst pretending to be born with a clam) he maintained a very affable disposition with just the right about of counsel, feedback and charm. Well done Gaston , well done !

    Beef Tartare and Hamachi
    Jodi P.

    Stopped to grab a bite with a friend and it happened to be restaurant week! Staff was very friendly and warm, the food was delicious! We shared our meals , we had a wonderful pork chop and rigatoni. The flavors were robust and comforting. Everything was beautiful as you can see in the photos. Also great portions! This place can get busy so service may be a tad slow , just keep in mind.

    Best Italian food I've ever had in the United States! Pricy but not tooooo pricy, and well worth it. Food is flavorful, large portion, great service, and romantic atmosphere. Will be coming back soon.

    This review is long overdue. Vendemmia is our go-to restaurant! We are always warmly welcomed by the staff. They go above and beyond to make our experience special. The waiters are very professional and always make great food and drink recommendations. The ambiance of the restaurant is perfection. It's nicely lit, the seating is comfortable, and it never gets too loud. I also love the open kitchen where you can watch the chefs create magic! The food is impeccable. Every dish I have tried here has been a hit. Everything is so beautifully presented and all of the ingredients are incredibly fresh. My favorite dish is hands-down the spaghetti. I could eat this weekly!! I'm also a huge fan of the cocktails. They are perfectly balanced. My partner is obsessed with their selection of Negronis. Delish! They also have a great wine menu to choose from. I always look forward to dining here and make sure to recommend Vendemmia to friends and family. It's truly the best!

    Lamb risotto
    Yunkyung C.

    Great value for all the food you get on the chef's tasting menu. The food was well done, there was a great variety and a lot of it so we had to take home left overs. It's quaint inside too. Course 1: cod and baguette and a soft mozzarella with blueberries and bread. These were delicious and super filling! Course 2: baby carrots had a sweet purée that was very good. The radicchio was bitter and the sauce was a bit salty but some like that sort of thing. Course 3: lamb risotto was not games at all and quite nice. I usually don't like lamb but this was very good. cacio e pepe was so simple yet made so well. It was good! Course 4: duck and pork chop. Both were good but we were already so full from the previous 3 courses we couldn't finish. The duck was tender and not games at all. Again I typically don't like duck but this was good! Course 5: desserts. They gave us an extra one as we were celebrating a birthday. I'm not much of a sweets person but the mousse and gelato were a bit on the salty side. The tiramisu was nice. This was for the chefs tasting menu for 4 people. It was only $79 per person for all that food!

Even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy during our visit, our server was extremely quiet and difficult to hear, which made communication a bit challenging. One nice touch was the complimentary bread service, which came with a generous amount of butter. We started with the artichokes from the seasonal menu. I was expecting them to be served warm or roasted, but they arrived cold, which was admittedly a misunderstanding on my part. The accompanying sauce was excellent though and definitely saved the dish for me. We also ordered the tajarin al ragù, one of the restaurant's signature dishes. Unfortunately, this was where my expectations and experience diverged. The pasta felt under-seasoned to me, and the noodles seemed overcooked. Rather than the silky texture I was hoping for, I found myself eating what felt like clumps of dough. It was a dish I really wanted to love given its reputation, but it just didn't click for me. We weren't looking for a heavy dinner, so we only ordered a couple of items. It's entirely possible we came on an off night or simply didn't choose the restaurant's strongest dishes. I'd be open to giving Cascina Spinasse another try in the future, but this visit left me feeling a bit underwhelmed compared to the hype.

You walk in and order at a self-service kiosk, and there are plenty of options to customize your pasta. You can choose from different pasta types and sauces, which makes it easy to build exactly what you want. We ordered the short rib pasta and the carbonara, along with a cannoli for dessert. After ordering, you seat yourself and they call your name when the food is ready. We had no problem finding a table for two. There seemed to be a lot of takeout orders coming through. Both pastas tasted fresh and were cooked al dente, just as advertised. The carbonara was creamy and flavorful. The short rib itself was good, but the pasta and sauce were a bit separated, so the pasta didn't absorb as much flavor as I expected. The cannoli was very filling and had a hint or orange in it. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for quick, customizable pasta. Just keep in mind that it's more of a fast-casual place rather than a full sit-down service restaurant.

Let me tell you, Lupo is high on my list of "Best 'Za In Seattle", and it will be on yours as well. The waiter told us something about how they're "fancy pizza but not stuck up" (not a direct quote), which fits right in with Seattle gastronomic philosophy. It's worth trying to get here early in the night, because it can be difficult to get a seat. And you want to have some time to sit down and enjoy this pizza. Make sure you wear your best sitting pants though, because you're in for a meal that will make you progressively adjust the belt loops as time goes on. I'm sure that there are plenty of top notch pizzas across the menu here, but the Caesar salad may have been a best-in-class item. The dressing was perfectly balanced with just enough anchovy taste, and there was exactly enough of it on every bite. Instead of having croutons in the salad, they had a heaping portion of toasted breadcrumbs that made each bite so much more interesting. Caesar himself would be proud. All of the pizzas sounded great, but I was pretty sure that they would be able to execute on a cacio e pepe flawlessly here, and I wasn't disappointed. The initial bite was everything that I could have hoped for. But I would make sure that you demolish this pizza promptly - it's not one that's great as leftovers. I think that is the case for most pizza of this style anyways. I am ridiculously excited about coming back to Lupo in the future to try more pizzas. If you are currently reading this and haven't been here yet, I strongly urge you to close this review and head there immediately!

I tried to order the fettuccine de mare, listed at $29 (no extra fees on Toast), but they told me it would be $43. That already didn't make sense. Then the server says, "We actually have 50% off happy hour until 11, come in and dine." So I came in. Ordered a drink, escargot, and a steak medium rare. The escargot came out fine. Then... nothing. 39 minutes later (at 10:45pm), the server asks if I'm waiting on anything else. Yes... my steak. She goes to check, disappears, and then comes back with something that honestly felt DISTESPECTFUL. The steak looked like scraps. Uneven, mismatched chunks, all different sizes, with burnt, crispy edges and covered in sauce like they were trying to hide it. It didn't look like a single cut of meat it looked like pieces from multiple steaks thrown together. The plating was sloppy, and the side looked like an afterthought. I didn't take a bite. I looked through it and said, "This looks like pieces from different steaks." She told me she watched them cut it... then immediately followed that by saying she saw them put it under a heat lamp to reheat. So which is it? I work in the food industry. I'm not going to be gaslit over a plate like that. She offered to refire it, but at that point it was almost 11 and they were closing. I paid for my drink and left. Honestly, I wouldn't have been upset if they had just told me the kitchen was closing when I called. But don't invite me in, forget my order, and then serve something like this and try to pass it off like it's normal. Just be honest.
