Tulio Ristorante

warm, intimate, bustling, gracious...serving breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Enter the antique revolving doors of Seattle's Tulio Ristorante and you'll discover the sounds and aromas of a bustling Italian trattoria.

Solaio, our upstairs dining room, is a charming and beautifully decorated venue with a wine-cellar motif. Tulio can accommodate up to 75 people for sit-down events and up to 100 people for a reception. There is no room rental fee charged for using Solaio. At Tulio, we strive to make each event special. Customized menus, candles for the tables and background music are complimentary. It's the perfect venue for rehearsal dinners and post wedding brunches.

Editorial Review for Tulio Ristorante – by Jill Lightner

The Scene
Dim and cozy, the small bar and adjoining restaurant are comfortable places for an after-work cocktail or pre-theater meal. If a nearby theater is on the agenda for the evening, servers will give plenty of speedy attention, but leisurely meals are also enjoyable--either way, the staff keeps glasses filled and tables cleared without being obtrusive.

The Food

It's easy to have a meal just of appetizers, which include crunchy grilled asparagus wrapped in prosciutto and drizzled with cream sauce, fried sweet-potato gnocchi and refreshing carpaccio accented with sweet grapes. If a larger entree is in order, don't miss the stuffed veal chop, filled with mozzarella and prosciutto. Better to request a side of ricotta whipped potatoes than save room for dessert--whether it's the overdone chocolate cake or the too-tart raspberry crostata, they're lacking in finesse.

The food is phenominal. Every bite I take is like magic in my mouth. When I want to try something new I do it here. I know it will cooked the best. The prices are very reasonable for dinner. Have a drink in the bar, it is memorable.

Pros: Food, prices

Cons: I live too far away!

I have been a loving patron of Tulio since the days of when Seattle was a beginning culinary powerhouse as well as the grunge capital. In the many years I have dined there I have never had a less than perfect experience , and that is saying a lot. In my opinion, Tulio is the Italian version of Canlis. Creative menu options, and many homemade pastas show the chefs commitment to quality, A lamb filet and pork shank that both border on perfection, and management and wait staff that show genuine pride in the job they do. My only gripe would be that the last time my wife and I dined there she fell in love with my George Clooney stunt double waiter. Oh well, at least I ate well that night.

Pros: Yes

Cons: No
