Aglio E Olio - Seattle

It seems that there is a larger main location somewhere else in the city, but this particular spot is much smaller. I remember stopping by during my lunch break and ordering the spaghetti with meatballs, which came with garlic bread and a salad. Let me tell you, the meatballs are massive! It’s no surprise that the cozy dining area was packed. The pasta is freshly made, and the garlic bread was absolutely delicious. I believe they mentioned it’s made in-house. Every aspect of the meal was top-notch. I tried to modify my order afterward, but the server informed me she had already started preparing it, which wasn’t a big deal. This just shows that their profit margins can’t be too high, given the size of the meatballs—they're the size of a woman’s fist! I highly recommend these hearty meatballs if you’re in the mood for some amazing pasta. You won’t regret it!

I'm from South Boston and always on the lookout for great sandwiches in Seattle, which are pretty hard to come by. So, finding out that the owner is from Dorchester really says a lot. This place has the best meatball sandwich on this side of the country! The sausage sandwich was also absolutely fantastic! Their homemade meatballs are the size of softballs, and the tomato sauce is simply amazing. Even my friend, who's Italian-American from New York, gives it his stamp of approval! It's really that good!

This is my absolute favorite Italian restaurant in Seattle (and a strong contender for my all-time favorite)! The food is always delicious and affordable, the portions are generous, and the staff is incredibly friendly. You have to try the vodka pasta when you go—it's amazing!

Very cheap for how good it is to eat. the wodka pasta is my favorite

The best Italian food I ever had in Seattle. I got the Ragu pasta with slow roasted beef and pork, and it was delicious! My girlfriend ordered the chicken Parmesan and it was also very delicious. I ate at the Pink Door a few weeks ago, a restaurant deemed to be one of the best Italian places in Seattle, and this restaurant absolutely beats it. 100% recommend.
