What GenevieveK doesn't like about Mondello:
We really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, the food is just not very good. The service was great and it's a cute place, but the execution of every dish was poor. Basically, it's all underseasoned buffet food that really tastes like it came out of a chaffing dish (wet bland chicken served with soggy vegetables). Nothing tastes fresh. A really heavy hand with the sauces (butternut squash ravioli was in a h... View all feedback. What Thank G likes about Mondello:
We got the squid ink crab ravioli and pasta special, and the tomato and burrata salad. Everything was outstanding. We lived in the area several years ago and Mondello was our go to place. Several years later we are glad that the food is as good as ever. Great service and ambiance. This was our first visit since Mama Mondello passing. I have to think that she is pleased that the food is still amazing. We can’t wait to... View all feedback.

read moreMondello offers a mixed experience with some diners praising the prompt and friendly service, delicious spinach salad, and cannoli, while others criticize the chewy pasta, stale bread, and abrupt service. The food receives mixed reviews with some enjoying the halibut and lasagna, while others find odd flavors in dishes like guanciale and lasagne. Despite differing opinions, many appreciate the warm ambiance, welcoming staff, authentic Italian cuisine, and dog-friendly streetery with heaters for chilly Seattle nights. Overall, Mondello has the potential to improve by making simple adjustments to achieve a better balance of flavors and satisfy a wider range of tastes.
It felt like we were in Italy from the Italian speaking staff to the authentic food. The gluten free homemade pasta was amazing. We will be back.
Such a wonderful restaurant. If you’re looking for authentic Italian done right, look no further. Hands down best Italian food I’ve ever had.
