Via Tribunali — Restaurant in Seattle

Not a fan of this place. My family and I walked in and stood in the center for a few minutes waiting for a server to say something, or any one to say something to us. After no one acknowledged us we went and sat ourselves at a table, at that point someone quickly walked over to let us know that that table was reserved and so were the others around us, but if we waited a few more minutes they would get a table ready for us. so we did. We were led up to their balcony area on the inside and sat next to the railing.

The whole restaurant below us was well lit but the top was pretty dark. My parents, who are in their late 40's could not read the menus at all. We had to pick up the table candles and hold them close to the menu or pull out or phones. Once seated the service was ok, one of the servers however did walk off with my dads drink before it was finished though. The pizza was good as well, you can tell they took care in choosing the ingredients for their pizzas. If the events leading up to the food weren't as bad i might have given a higher review.

And I know the servers cant always control the people in the restaurant, but the table next to us thought it was appropriate to hoot and howl at the sports game playing on their phone. Not on a TV in the place (as there were no TV's, because it was not a sports bar) but on their phone, in a finer dining establishment. Don't be...

Highly Recommended: A Delightful Solo Dining Experience

I walked into Via Tribunali on a Saturday afternoon for a solo dinner, and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! Arriving at 4:15 pm, I was greeted by a cozy atmosphere with intimate booths and an ambiance enhanced by 90's alternative music.

The staff's friendliness and attentiveness stood out, as they frequently checked on my dining experience. I'm grateful I arrived early, as the restaurant quickly filled up within an hour.

I started with a glass of ERIK BANTI CARATO MAREMMA DOC '19, a lighter red wine perfectly recommended by my server. For starters, I indulged in the Saute Di Vongole and Della Casa - both delightful choices. Tip: Next time, I'll definitely order the Focaccia bread to soak up the exquisite white wine sauce accompanying the clams.

The highlight was the Salsiccia e Friarelli pizza. Served piping hot and unsliced, it came with pizza scissors - a unique touch that added to the experience. The flavors were outstanding.

To round off the meal, I savored the Tiramisu - a perfect sweet ending to an already fantastic dinner.

Via Tribunali has certainly won me over. If I lived within walking distance, I'd be a regular patron. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and highly...

I want to like this place. The food and decor are great. I have gone now three times and will not try it again because 1) the wait staff is inattentive, and 2) it is FREEZING inside all year around!

So returning to reason 1) Each time I have gone, the wait staff have spent most of their time hanging out by the bar or corner, chatting with one another. I can see them all gathered there while I wait hoping my server will remember the side of sauce I had asked for and waiting for them to return to our table so I can remind them, again. They are not good at attending to their tables, lagging to come by after you are seated, to take your food order, or to check on how things are going. I have had to ask the buser to get my server. And 2) Its so cold inside, all year around. One winter we went, and we sat with all our winter gear on, still cold. We commiserated with the people sitting next to us, who also were freezing their butts off. Just dial the heat up or give customers...
