Cinque Terre is a beautiful area of the Italian Riviera which is comprised of five villages. The towns are connected by medieval style walkable paths. These villages are a favored destination for travelers to Italy where seafood is prevalent. Pesto, a condiment made of fresh basil, is the flagship of tradition in the region. At Cinque Terre, we make our pesto every day from the freshest and top quality ingredients. We always have on the menu, Muscoli (mussels), Polpo (octopus), Gamberi (shrimp) and a variety of seasonal seafood, artisan pizzas along with house-made pastas.

What a lovely evening! Picked this place somewhat at random for our final dinner on this trip to Seattle and couldn’t have been more pleased! Everything from the cocktails to dessert was spectacular. Jessica took great care of us with excellent pointers on dining selections and even our own private wine tasting. Highly recommend Cinque Terre and look forward to coming back next time we’re in town.

My son and I dined here for a father/son weekend trip to Seattle. I made a note about this on my reservation and they brought out a lovely dessert with a sparkler and candles. It was very thoughtful and made our evening. The food was delicious, the service was spot on, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come back here in the future.

The Octopus was good, not quite to the level of sitting in Italy along the coastal sea spray, but definitely one of the better in the US. Excellent wine and wonderful service. The Bucatini al cianghiale was really good and flavorful; the pasta was al dente with a good bite. I would recommend and would visit again!

My husband has traveled to Seattle on business 3 times in the last year and has eaten at Cinque Terre each time. Joining him on this trip meant I, too, got to enjoy the phenomenal dining experience that is an evening at Cinque Terre. The food was delicious but it was the amazing service that put it over the top. Jessica was helpful with dinner and wine selections and was very attentive without being intrusive. She was delightful and enhanced our visit. We look forward to future meals and highly recommend this lovely restaurant.

Great food, super nice experience all around. Our server, Vivian was outstanding and her enthusiasm helped to guide our food choices. Loved the desserts, great pasta and a delicious antipasto plate. Traveling with colleagues, we’re from Boston + Texas would definitely return when we’re back in Seattle.

Attentive service. Bright and clean atmosphere. Loved the Frutti de Mari (steamed clams and mussels) with pasta that I had for lunch -- so decadent yet not too filling. The broth was so flavorful and the serving was really generous. Don't usually splurge but was taking someone out to lunch to celebrate their retirement after 35 years so splurging was in order! (She had the wild boar bucatini and raved about it.) Our waiter was very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend this place.

Pasta dishes, appetizers, and pizza were all very good. We've had the same menu items repeatedly, and they're consistently well made. The portion size on the pasta dishes is getting a bit too large, so there'll be waste. Although, the flavors and firm textures are excellent, and maybe most people eat all of it. We appreciated that the server left us alone and didn't barge in with upsell nudges or questions on how things were going, except once early on. One jarring note was that two of our party of three were still eating their appetizers when the entrees arrived. They simply put them down on the table next to the plates people were still eating from; they didn't even ask if this was the right time or not. That kind of amateur touch has never been seen at Cinque Terre. Also, the one person who drove and can't walk much very much appreciated the parking under the building and the fact that it was free. Plus somebody who seemed to be a supervisor told us about it without anybody asking - nice job.

He was also very knowledgeable about the items on the menu when we asked him about them. Overall the ambience is relaxing and staff are friendly and kind. Thank you for making my sister’s birthday lunch special! I’ll definitely be back and recommend Cinque Terre to friends and relatives.
