Best Italian Restaurants in Mercer Island

Great food and great service, what else can you say.

From start to finish, everything was fantastic! Ambiance, service & food! We will definitely be returning to Carmine’s for dinner or drinks, desserts.

Highly recommend - very pleasant atmosphere, great menu options, the best bolognese we’ve had in Seattle area. Service was fantastic - unsurpassed attention to detail, great pacing. We really enjoyed the restaurant and look forward to our next visit any time we find ourselves downtown. Located a little south of the city center on a very nice block with galleries and unique shops. It’s proximity to the stadiums makes it a wonderful pre-game/post-game option for Mariners or Seahawks games for people that are looking for a nicer culinary experience.

Great little neighborhood spot. I love the vibe, too. The pear salad was amazing. The pasta was good but nothing special.

This was our first time to the restaurant and we were not expecting the amazing quality of meats carved table side! ( we had the top sirloin and lamb) Cooked and seasoned to perfection! The included salad/ side bar buffet was filled with a wide variety of tasty offerings. Our only disappointment was that although the front hostess asked us about it being my birthday celebration, nothing special was offered in our dining experience or to acknowledge it. We also felt a bit rushed by the circulating floor manager ( but that may have just been my interpretation of her check ins).
