Cafe Veloce

Found this Italian, hole in the wall restaurant. I cannot fully describe how wonderful this place is. Most authentic, fresh and most delicious Italian food I have ever had. I am Italian and it has been a struggle to find genuine Italian food until now. The atmosphere was inviting, warm and relaxing. Our waitress, Kathryn was kind, extremely helpful and attentive. Food was beyond compare. Prices were more than fair for the generous portions you get. We will definitely be returning.

This Italian place is themed with differently than other restaurants. It has bikes 🏍 even at the front door there is statue which may not look like one if you don’t pay attention! To start with we got some Italian Strawberry soda, vanila soda for drinks which was amazing. For food we got Bruschetta, pesto garlic bread as appetizers - both turned out to be yummy 🤤. For main course we had Eggplant Parmesan, Primavera- Tricolor Spirelli Pasta, Lamb Parmesan and Chicken Scampi. Entire order was served piping hot and service was fantastic. The vibe of restaurant is good to have a nice outing and staff is welcoming and quick to get orders out of kitchen even on busy Friday night. I would highly recommend this place. Totally worth the price !! 😊

This place has literally been here forever, which means they're doing something right in such a popular area. We ordered the Beef Bolognese and Lamb Lasagna. You know when you take your first bite of a dish and it tastes high quality, homemade, and is instantly comforting? That is what Cafe Veloce delivers. Don't expect a super fancy environment, which we liked since we came after work to celebrate my birthday. Jeans work great! We also ordered the lemincello martini and basil gin cocktail which were strong enough for us and SO delicious! The free bread and garlic spread was great and the chocolate cake was deliciously decadent, perfect for sharing.

For a recent trip to Kirkland, I swung by Cafe Veloce, they had a good thin crust gluten free pizza and selection of wine. It appears their pasta selection can be subbed for Gf pasta as well. I highly recommend trying the Spice Cider Totti as nice warm alternative. Their vintage motorcycle decor was very appealing, albeit very new. I'm sure I will be back.
