Wow, this spot is really nice inside, super impressive design! The food was tasty for sure, I enjoyed my meal. It wasn't the best meal I've ever had, but definitely above average. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out for a pleasant evening. You won't be disappointed!
Couldn’t get a reservation online, but we went on a weekday and were lucky to be seated within 30 minutes. The place has a great atmosphere, with live music, attentive service, and fantastic Italian food. We had the Arancini, Garlic Bread, Gnocchi, Lasagna Pink Door, and Espresso Chocolate Cheesecake — all were delicious. The lasagna was the standout dish. Portions are a little small, but the flavor is excellent and everything felt well-prepared. Tried the non-alcoholic Dolce Vita — not my favorite, but appreciated the drink option. Definitely recommend this spot for a special meal in Seattle.
Happy vibe in this crowded Seattle establishment. Fresh seafood and produce flavors pop out of every entree - do not be fooled by seemingly ordinary dish names; this place is special. Couldn't get through on the phone to change a reservation detail despite numerous attempts, just book online - or show up and hope for the best.
Excellent Italian fine dining restaurant. A big menu with a lot of seafood and quite a bit vegetarian options awaits. Ambience is really nice with loads of table seating options. The pink door lasagna was really delicious with a tinge of their signature basil pesto. We tried the king salmon special fish for the day which was done really well do. The local Branzino for the day looked great too. Highly recommend stopping by when at Seattle! Tables can be quite hard to find.
Very good Italian food. Oysters, Fritto Misto, Proscuitto, Papardelle, ... all excellent. Nice wine selection. Top notch service from Stephano P. Small negative; I asked for my Copper River Salmon medium rare but it was cooked all the way through. Also, many of the service staff were rushing around with stern looks on their faces and stood at the bar for several minutes while the bartender (tall, thin) washed glasses only 1-2' away. Finally another bartender took my order. Didn't feel truly welcome until we were seated. I get it, the restaurant is extremely busy and you have to book a month out but don't be a victim of your own success. Overall was excellent and I highly recommend.
First time in for lunch (w/ reservation) and we were lucky to be sat outside. Food was delicious and wine list has something for everyone. We shared a bit of everything- burrata and prosciutto, green salad, arancini (our fave!), side of meatballs, meatball sub, and the risotto. Don’t skip coffee and dessert! We loved the lavender panna cotta. Can’t wait to go back
The Pink Door absolutely blew me away! From the vibrant atmosphere to the impeccable service, every detail made for a memorable visit—but let’s talk about that meatball sub. Hands down, the best meatball sub I’ve ever had. The meatballs were perfectly seasoned and tender, the sauce rich and flavorful, and the bread—crispy on the outside, soft inside—held everything together like magic. It was comforting, elevated, and absolutely delicious. The entire menu was impressive, but that sub alone is worth coming back for. Add in the warm ambiance and thoughtful touches that make The Pink Door so unique, and you’ve got a dining experience that’s second to none. Can’t wait to return. This place is a gem
One of the best Italian restaurants in Seattle! The vibe is warm, lively, and inviting, and the food is absolutely incredible. They usually recommend reservations, but we walked in around 5pm on a weekend and were lucky to grab a table! Definitely worth trying your luck if you’re in the area early. Every dish we had was packed with flavor and clearly made with love! From the pasta to the cocktail, everything hit the mark. A must-visit spot for Italian food lovers!
