Best Italian Restaurants in Seattle
Four Italian spots make our board in Seattle. All four carry a James Beard badge.
Cafe Juanita in Downtown Seattle holds a James Beard Winner from 2008, running at $$$$. The other three are Damn Good and Beard-recognized in their own right: Bar del Corso in Beacon Hill, a $$ pizza-and-Italian semifinalist from 2022, Il Nido in West Seattle at $$$ from 2020, and Spinasse on Capitol Hill at $$$ from 2015. Nobody's cracked our top tiers yet, but the Beard Foundation got here first.
