Osteria Rigoletto - Seattle

THE WORST DINING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! My husband and I came her

My wife and I had dinner at Rigoletto for Valentine's day. The staff seemed unprepared, using a piece of paper for reservations (which resulted in a charge for a missed reservation through OpenTable, which we were not happy with). The restaurant was extremely cold, feeling as if the AC was on full blast. We had to keep our jackets on all night. It took 45 minutes to receive our appetizers for a fixed-price meal. The server was hardly ever present, making it difficult to inquire about our order. The food was decent but nothing remarkable. The dessert seemed rushed and poorly made. It appeared as if they were not expecting so many guests that night. In the past 4 years, I have dined at the restaurant 3 times and each time it has been a disappointment. Unfortunately, my wife and I will not be returning.

Appetizers and main course brought out within minutes of each other. checked on many times initially and not for a long time after

The food was excellent; there are enough separate spaces that noise is minimal. We could visit and enjoy our meal.

What a nice Italian pasta restaurant: we loved it. : The bruschetta was delicious, as were the gnocchi with bolognese sauce, baked cannelloni and penne carbonara. We didn't try the non pasta dishes, but I recall them being few in number so I'd suggest you go to this place for the pasta. In particular, the cannelloni was TERRIFIC our eyes went wide, and we'll likely come back specifically for that dish (though our other two dishes were terrific also .
