Seattle | 🇮🇹 An Italian Restaurant with a Festive Vibe

Tucked away in a residential neighborhood, this Italian restaurant is exquisitely decorated for the Christmas season. The tables are almost overflowing with festive decor, and each table has unique ornaments! What We Ordered: 🍹 Cocktail: Fire Apple A blend of cinnamon whiskey and apple cider. A must-try for cinnamon lovers! 🦑 Sicilian Squid An appetizer with a modest portion of squid. The tangy flavor, thanks to the rich tomato sauce and spices, is very appetizing. This was my first time trying squid prepared this way, and it was absolutely impressive. Highly recommended! 🍝 Spaghetti Con Polpette So delicious!!! It tastes like a whole can of tomatoes was poured in—rich, slightly tangy, and made with real tomatoes, not tomato sauce. No onions, just pure tomato goodness. The meatballs are hearty, and the pasta portion is just right—no leftovers! 🍕 Quattro Stagioni Pizza Topped with mushrooms, artichokes, and ham, each ingredient shines. The mushrooms are especially fragrant, and I couldn’t stop eating slice after slice. The crust is thin and crispy around the edges. If you’re a crust lover, you’ll adore this pizza. 🥧 Cranberry Walnut Tart A seasonal dessert featuring fresh cranberries on top and a filling of cranberry jam and large walnut chunks. The portion is generous and perfect for sharing between two people. As shown in the photos, the per-person cost was $55 (pre-tax). We took half the pizza home for later. The restaurant has an amazing ambiance, and the service is excellent and timely—dishes were served without any noticeable wait. ✨ Restaurant Name: Ristorante Picolinos 📍 Address: 6415 32nd Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98107 #Ristorante Picolinos#Seattle#travel guide#trip diary#Seattle life#food diary#Italian Restaurant#Italian food
