Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Seattle Center / Lower Queen Anne

Ok. There are restaurants and there are restaurants. This is is unique in so many ways. The look , atmosphere, hospitality you feel as if you are in Italy or New York. Top that with the food big portions yet quality is very noticeable. Service is excellent very authentic can even hear them speak Italian. Love love this restaurant. Best time in the state. Experience is what this place is about and why we go.

The food and service was excellent. the Calamari was the best I' ve ever had. A great place to enjoy fine food.

We flew from Georgia to visit my daughter and to try the pasta flight at Messina! Sadly around 21 minutes before our dinner time they cancelled the pasta flight service for the evening. However the food was amazing!! Every single dish was EXCELLENT!!!! The wait staff was phenomenal and fun to talk to. 10/10 would recommend!!! I will say that the host was kinda rude and a little short with us when we were asking about the discontinued flight service. Not what you expect at the front of the restaurant greeting people and setting the tone. Everything after that canceled her out thankfully!!

Excellent service,appetizers were tasty and pasta delicious. Thx
