Italianissimo - Woodinville

Sadly disappointed. they need to dig through the reviews to find some good critikens before I eat here, I hope I was on the basis of the amount of good.

We've gone here twice now and will definitely keep coming back. We absolutely love thier carpaccio di manza appetizer; it's melt in your mouth delicious with the perfect acidic side salad bite. Thier pasta dishes are also on point, as they should be at an Italian restaurant. We were disappointed by the special last night, a steak over risotto. The steak looked a little whimpy but tasted great. The risotto however was over done and very bland. So, I'd say stick with pasta because they are all great and pass on the meat dishes. You're at an Italian restaurant anyway, always go for the pasta. We had the chocolate mousse and creme carmel for dessert and both were stunning. Overall the food is mostly phenomenal and the wait staff are very friendly and attentive.

Yummy food at a reasonable price. My chicken rigatoni had a few hard chunks (probably cartilage) which I had to spit out, but I know supply chains are impacting quality right now.
