Bisato

Every dish we had there was yummy. The flavor in each dish flowed together really well. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. And the chef was very friendly. He even brought us this rum cherry tart that wasn't on the menu and was amaze balls. I probably could have eaten the whole thing. Too bad I had to share. Nothing is done in a hurry so be ready to take your time and enjoy the meal. Portions are on the smaller side so order more and share.

Great hospitality by the owner. This is the first time I've had italian food that wasn't overpowering and didn't leave me overly full. The meal was very light and very filling at the same time. Ambiance is great, and it's affordable for a nice night out. Would recommend this for those who enjoy italian food but don't like the excessiveness of most italian restaurants. This is italian food distilled down to the flavor and it's fantastic.

One of the best in Seattle! We dined years ago and both Lampreia and the original Bisato. Last week we experienced the new incarnation---in short: marvelous! The food is sublime, the presentation exquisite and the service excellent. The century old building that houses Bisato is beautiful to behold and offers a warm intimate setting. We will be back!

While I thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the place is rather expensive and I think some of the dishes or the redundant. I felt that three of our dishes were under seasoned but still good. We were nearing the end of our $700 meal and realize that we were still quite hungry due to the portion sizes being very small, so we had asked for some table bread which they were happy to provide at $8 on top of the cost for the chefs choice 9 course meal. $30 per bottle corkage fee is at the very top of the Spectrum as far as what restaurants charge for corkage.

Bisato is by far the most refined restaurant in Seattle. The Italian dishes are cooked and presented with artistic and modern twist. If you are looking for spaghetti and meat ball, you will not find it here, but there is an amazing black truffle embedded pasta sheet with creamy fonduta cheese sauce. Also, I was amazed how Chef Carsberg extracted intense flavors from even the humblest vegetables. The open kitchen is set up like a laboratory; spacious, and emasculate as the heart of the restaurant right next to the dining area where you can view the chefs working diligently on their craft. There are many options to the menu; tasting and a la carte. There is a personal touch and care to all dishes. The atmosphere is casual and yet formal. It is what you want to be. The dining room is not cramped and beautifully designed in an understated refinement. It is one place in Seattle where you can take your important guests and not be embarrassed by the food or the service!

Wow this place is amazing! We got about 9 different plates total between the two of us. We were full. Although the portions are small they are packed with flavor and delicious. I'm a picky eater and I loved everything we had. We ordered the tasting menu plus 2 or 3 additional plates. Not a cheap restaurant by any means but worth every penny. We had reservations on a Friday evening around 7pm and it was very busy so defiantly make reservations. Everything is so fresh even our drinks. I got mimosa with Prosecco and the orange juice was fresh squeezed just for my drink! So impressed! Great spot for date nights, business meetings, or just a dinner out with friends!
