Best Italian Restaurants in Mount Rainier

Always a memorable meal with outstanding service and a great wine selection. Our server Devon G was absolutely fantastic

We had a New Year’s Day family lunch and everything was delicious. We had spaghetti and meatballs, ravioli and manicotti, all shared, topped off by a shared chocolate bread pudding. Highly recommend Carmine’s!

Caruso’s Grocery is a delightful, convivial restaurant with attentive service and well prepared dishes. Our waiter was friendly with great recommendations on the specials. We ordered the special, veal parmigiana, and it was exceptional! Wish we lived nearby so we could come often.

Great location, delicious food, and a fantastic ambiance. My only very minor issue was the noise level, which made it a bit difficult to hear the waiter, who was softly spoken. Aside from that, it was a wonderful experience. The staff was very accommodating for our party of seven. I’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful service and food. Really love the ambiance and the quality. Only down side was the 5% charge added to the bill, notated as NOT a tip but a service charge due to increasing cost to run the business. As a business owner myself I would not charge a fee rather if you need more money just charge more for your items. We tip 20% minimum everywhere we go but to be charged an extra 5% on top of the bill seems strange. Some people will just leave when they see that. I guess I appreciate the honesty however considering the menus are printed daily at this restaurant they could just raise the prices and then no one would be aware or need to know about the extra "we're hurting and business is tough" charge. Again - I own businesses. I understand. It's been rough the past two years.
