Authentic Cuisine, From Northern Italy to Seattle
Since its inception, Tulio has been a regular on restaurant awards lists, thanks in no small part to Chef Walter Pisano, whose cooking is inspired as much by his travels through the Old World as his Italian roots. Tulio’s dishes are simple yet sophisticated, combining rustic Italian preparations with local ingredients to create bold flavors and an unforgettable dining experience. Recognizing that our guests have different tastes and dining preferences, we proudly offer several gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian dishes on each of our daily menus. If you have any food allergies or other special requests, please let us know.

Our waitress Daniella was so kind and fun and genuine. The food was outstanding. I do feel some of the meals would benefit from just a small side veggie, for example I had the roasted chicken, which comes on lemon risotto and just a few green beans or something green added would have made it perfect. Very lovely experience and will definitely be back!

The cooks were professional, and the food came out in a timely manner, delicious. The olive oil cake for dessert was a winner, the boys also liked it. The place is nice, the boys did great, the staff took great care of my family. See you again, Appreciated.
