Mondello Italian Restaurant

I feel misled by the reviews posted by folks here. This place was abysmal and would not recommend it to anyone. Ordered the fettuccine pasta - chewy hard pasta, the veal seemed stale. The bread served was stale and inedible. The burrata was average. We got a table at 8:30 and it seemed they were just waiting to shut down . The owner lady literally shooed us away by saying “ oh u do want boxes for that” while we were chatting. Our dinner lasted exactly 35 minutes as we left at 9:05. Someone said their canoli is at par at what they had in boston in north end. Please it’s nowhere close. Avoid if you can . Terrible food and terrible service.

This is a great hidden gem, one of the best restaurants in all of Seattle! The staff is very attentive, service is excellent, and the homemade pasta and cannolis are delicious! The owner always checks on each table and shares the changing specials, the atmosphere is private and cozy, and their selection of imported wines is extensive, a great way to complement the food! We love it here, and we will for sure be back.

I took my kids to an early weekday dinner. I pass by the place pretty regularly. The quality of the food is excellent and is authentic. It is on par to Italian restaurants I’ve been to out East, but we had a young gal server who was rude and seemed annoyed at us for being there. The kids menu has a variety of options but pricey for the portion size. Also, it’s digital menu only aside from the specials. I didn’t have my phone with me so when I asked for a physical menu they didn’t have one, and she was annoyed at us for this as well and ran through the menu quickly while rolling her eyes at me. For the prices, I expected a better experience. We won’t be coming back here, which is a bummer because there really aren’t that many places to choose from in the village.
