Il Bistro is a classic Seattle spot with a mixed reputation among diners. While some appreciate the quality and consistency of the food, others have been disappointed by certain menu items, like the chicken Parmesan and short ribs.

Drinks were subpar. Food presentation was great. Taste was nothing special. Service was okay.

This was one of the worst culinary experiences a small corporate group could have. The service was beyond terrible; refused to refill nonalcoholic beverages, spilled food and knife spilled down the back of one of the guests, rearranging tables and hit another guest in the back with a table. The food was fair and the ambience was satisfactory. I would never recommend this restaurant to tourist, locals, or business parties.

No bread and wine was 6... pasta amazing and server didn't offer anniversary dessert. I'll rate 7 for the night... maybe I'll think of coming back

The food was delicious and the ambience was nice and quiet. My 13 year old enjoyed his pizza and I enjoyed some pasta. I would give it 5 stars but the waiter was a bit snobbish. Aside from that the place was a great place.
