Picture a candle lit restaurant nestled in a cavern in the foothills of Tuscany. Provide it with the freshest local ingredients, authentically prepared. An extensive wine list featuring the best of Italy, the Northwest and California. A cozy bar specializing in Martinis, Single-Malt Scotches, Bourbons and Grappas.
Sound like a special evening?
Visit Il Bistro and spend a night in Italy.
For 30 years, Il Bistro, tucked away underneath the Pike Place Market, has provided Seattle with Romance and Intimate Fine Dining. As with some of Il Bistro's long-term customer relationships, there are still staff members who have been involved with the restaurant since the beginning.
Market Fresh Meats, Seafood and Produce are always our number one priority. Our Chef can often be seen in the late afternoon browsing the Pike Place Market looking for the fresh catch of the day or searching for exotic mushrooms.
For over 30 years, Il Bistro has offered Seattle Fine dining with Regional Italian Fare. The Romantic and warm atmosphere that started in 1975 still resonates within its walls.
The dining room is consistently voted Seattle's "Most Romantic" and is staffed by servers who provide courteous and knowledgeable professionalism. If you are a regular customer who has a favorite table and favorite entrée or if you are a first time visitor, you will always receive a warm welcome from the staff.
Whether you have never visited Il Bistro or you have not stopped by recently, come down and see for yourself why Il Bistro continues to set the standard for excellence and has remained a favorite in Seattle.
