The Pink Door Seattle Reviews
Amazing atmosphere with a great view of the water.
Ciabatta bread appetizer was only ok, but still very good. The linguine alle vongole was the perfect amount of spiciness and clams were cooked perfectly. Spaghetti and meatballs were classic taste. Service was good for how busy they were on a Tuesday. Overall, would highly recommend!
Server was excellent, friendly and attentive.
Pace was perfect. Food was amazing, we couldn't decide what to try so we tried a bunch of things! Bread service was excellent, nice grassy EVOO infused with garlic and rosemary. Started with the calamari. So good surprising with shrimp, lemon, olives, calamari was delicious with light aioli. We shared the clams/mussel dish. So good, Mussels were huge, clams Sweet and salty like eating the ocean. We saved the bread from the bread service. The grilled ciabatta was good, but we enjoyed the fresh bread more, We also ordered the spaghetti and meatballs (thinking about Nona here). The meatballs were not as tender as I like, But the flavor was spot on. So much leftover food, but when you visit Seattle and are not sure you are coming back...brought home a piece of basil cake. Haven't tried it yet, still too full
Great service, good food, great waitress, my friends got
Great service, good food, great waitress, my friends got the lasagna and the bolognese, both delicious. Highly recommend the lasagna. I ordered a lemon chicken, the flavor was amazing but the chicken was dry. Nice scene!
What an amazing night everything we ordered was so good
What an amazing night everything we ordered was so good from the lasagna to the meatballs to the calamari and the Caesar salad and don't forget the tiramisu!
Saved Seattle
Amazing. The restaurant is huge, difficult to believe after seeing the small entrance but it is. Great atmosphere, lots of people, good service. Food was outstanding; the farm local peppers, linguini vongole, fig and prosciutto appetizer and tuna crudo. So much better than I expected and worth it.
Maybe it was all the hype but I found the food was good but
Maybe it was all the hype but I found the food was good but nothing amazing. The decor and live entertainment was good though and good for taking photos. Service was good.
The Pink Door was better than expected! Cute hidden place
The Pink Door was better than expected! Cute hidden place with delicious food! We sat outside and such a great atmosphere and good service. We would definitely come back!!
Excellent Dining Experience
Beautiful place, décor is just stunning. We sat out on the deck and the view was amazing. Excellent food and service. We will definitely come back.
Finally got to try The Pink Door, and it was a good
Finally got to try The Pink Door, and it was a good experience. Good, but not great, for a restaurant that has a lot of hype. For food, I had the Cioppino, my wife had the risotto, and our party split the Fritto Misto and the Caprese. The Cioppino was good, had a nice variety of seafood. The risotto was cooked perfectly and the added touch of truffle popcorn gave it a great added texture. But the star of the meal was the Caprese. The tomatoes were super fresh and perfect, probably really the best tomatoes I've ever had. Better to make a reservation or go early to avoid a long walk-up wait. If you happen to have to wait, there's a lot close by that can keep you occupied since it's right in the thick of Pike Place. The ambiance is actually much more casual than I was expecting. There wasn't a dress code, but people tend to be dressed much more business casual than casual. The service was great, and our server was nice, knowledgeable and attentive.
Delicious food and good service.
It is little hard to find door but inside decorations are unique
One of my favorite Italian restaurants in WA! Vibes are
One of my favorite Italian restaurants in WA! Vibes are super nice especially if you get a table facing the market. We got the lasagna and linguine this time around, although my all-time favorite item here has been one of their rotational risottos. The linguine is on the menu year round and is also certified broke da mouth! I preferred that over the lasagna, which is what they're known for. If you're wanting to stop by for dinner time, make sure to make rezzies ahead of time bc spots fill up QUICKLY.
Amazing spot, never had a bad meal here and the
Amazing spot, never had a bad meal here and the vibe/ambiance is tops. I always recommend this place for out of town visitors and they seem to really enjoy this tucked away gem.
Outstanding
Excellent food and service. Part of the fun is just finding the entrance. No sign, just a pink door in post alley. This is a must visit for anyone in Seattle
Dining delight
We tried to eat here on our last visit to Seattle and failed, so this time we made a reservation well in advance. What a great decision, it does not look like anything from the outside, just a pink door and a line for made reservations and hoping, Thankfully having our reservation got us quickly seated, the restaurant is split into two areas, dining area with bar as you enter and the rear is a large dining room with outside views. We were sat in the first area and were entertained by a young lady doing circus maneuvers in a ring (very impressive) The food we ordered was excellent, frito del mare, chicken with polenta, salmon special, grilled peppers and an amazing cake with jam. Our wine choice was a very drinkable super Tuscan and service was excellent. This was one of our most enjoyable dinners in quire some time and at a reasonable price. Highly recommend you book, it is very good
Amazing Dining Experience!🤩
This restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel staff & we were glad to experience this place for dinner. First thing is that they didn’t have any signs identifying the restaurant 🤯😂 It has a pink door & once you enter you have a flight of stairs to go down to the desk to check in for a table. This was a week day & they were very busy for getting a table so we opted out for going to sit at the bar. Staff were amazing & very friendly. Tasty entrees with cold beverages went down well. They also had a 3 piece band playing during our time which added to the ambiance. Highly recommend coming to the place for a memorable dining experience 🤩🤩
Solo Man Gives the Pink Door a Whirl
I had to be solo guy while my spouse was doing business in Seattle. I tagged along, but during the day I had to enjoy the sights, sounds and food of Seattle on my own. I read some reviews on a Seattle institution for chow called The Pink Door, and decided to venture there for lunch all by my lonesome. I got there as the joint opened, joined the no reservations line of folks waiting, and despite the length of the line, easily got in. I opted to sit at the bar, avoiding the look of the single guy at a table who couldn't get a date or a friend. My service was provided by a bartender who juggled his duties while promptly taking my order. I selected the Ciopino. The food came out promptly, without the rush. As I started to sample my dish, I was soon joined at the bar by other hungry diners. I must say, my Ciopino was one of the better experiences I've had with the dish; it was rich in seafood with a tomato broth that was flavorful and well-rounded. I wish I could have complimented it with a nice white wine, but I'd recently put wine on my no-go list, at least for a while. Hopefully, future business trips will take me there again and I'll definitely try a reservation; next time for dinner with the spouse.
Just Open the Pink Door! Worth Seeking Out!
This is a highly rated spot but it's huge so you likely won't have to wait for a table like everyplace else in Pike Place Market. It's a bonafide sit-down Italian restaurant and super cute. It may be hard to find at first--there's no physical signage. Use your GPS and you'll come to a literal pink wood door in Post Alley. Push down on the handle and open it--you're there! Drinks, food, service, and ambiance were all a cut above the Pike Place Market experience. No reservation? No problem! They will seat and serve you with a smile! Food was fresh and perfectly portion sized for tourists like us who can't take leftovers home. Thanks TripAdvisor for the recommendation and thank you Pink Door for adding to our already great Seattle stay!
Excellent food experience
Buzzing place with excellent service and great food. My go to is always the Ciopino and it never disappoints, the tomato based broth is light and you can taste each individual flavour of the seafood. My only nit-picky criticism, there's never ever enough bread :-)
Great Italian- BOOK EARLY
Very good Italian food. Oysters, Fritto Misto, Proscuitto, Papardelle, ... all excellent. Nice wine selection. Top notch service from Stephano P. Small negative; I asked for my Copper River Salmon medium rare but it was cooked all the way through. Also, many of the service staff were rushing around with stern looks on their faces and stood at the bar for several minutes while the bartender (tall, thin) washed glasses only 1-2' away. Finally another bartender took my order. Didn't feel truly welcome until we were seated. I get it, the restaurant is extremely busy and you have to book a month+ out but don't be a victim of your own success. Overall was excellent and I highly recommend.
DELICIOUS!! sooooo yummy I ALWAYS GET THE BOLOGNESE ITS THE
DELICIOUS!! sooooo yummy I ALWAYS GET THE BOLOGNESE ITS THE BEST THING ON THE MENU. it's a very cute restaurant and the women's bathroom had plenty of mirrors to take cute pics in!
A hidden restaurant close to Pike Place Market that is
A hidden restaurant close to Pike Place Market that is indeed marked by a Pink Door. We arrived on a Saturday around 2pm and put our names in for a table. We waited about 30 minutes and were seated inside with a great view of the water. The service was a little slow - after we received a text that our table was ready and checked in with the hostess, we stood for about 5-10 minutes off to the side before anyone brought us to the table. We also had to wait a bit for someone to bring water to the table. We got the arancini and linguine alle vongole. The arancini were crispy on the outside and the inside was creamy and cheesy. The linguine was awesome - a large portion of pasta as well as clams. The clams were fresh tasting as well!
Good Enough
It’s a nice restaurant with unique design in the interior. We went there for lunch when they just opened so we got seated immediately. The view from our seats was great with the Great Wheel in the background. The staff were nice but I didn’t get that ‘happy to have you’ vibe I’ve had in other places that strives to give you a very pleasant experience dining with them. It seems like we the patrons are the ones that need to be grateful for having the opportunity to dine with them. It must be because it’s hard to get reservations with them especially for dinner when there are shows which must be great but I couldn’t speak of since we haven’t seen one. The food were good and well plated but we’ve had better Italian dishes in other places. The fish of the day was fresh and cooked right. They are bit pricey but it’s in the heart of touristy Pike Place so it is rightly so. Went there for the experience. I might try to come back just to see the night scene.
Gastronomic Five Star
The food was wonderful. Even though they bill there restaurant as Italion, we were able to get fantastic seafood. When in Rome must take advantage of the local seafood! It is a bit hard to find but worth the effort. Make a reservation if going during peak hours. Try to eat on the patio.
First, I want to say we've long adored The Pink Door.
We've been eating and drinking there for 38 years, making so many fond memories for my entire family. But a few weeks ago, we had a horrid experience that sadly has marred my Pink Door love affair and turned my adult pescatarian daughter competely off of shellfish for the foreseeable future. Consider this a warning - make sure the oysters you order are fresh before you pop them into your mouth! The manager gave us a sincere apology which I appreciated and comped us our other appetizer, a nice gesture, but my question is how can a shucker in a high-end establishment not notice when an oyster is so spoiled that you can actually smell the stink of it from across the table? You should've seen the server's face when she smelled it. We were all truly disgusted. And it wasn't the only one of that half dozen that was bad, just the only one that ended up in a mouth. My poor daughter. Those oysters should never have made it past the kitchen. We'll probably have dinner there again some time just because it makes me sad to think this might be the end of our long and fond patronage of the Pink Door, but we won't be ordering oysters there ever again.
Wonderful food and ambience, was such a fun experience just
Wonderful food and ambience, was such a fun experience just trying to find this place! The arancini balls were on point and the sticky toffee pudding was the best I ever had!
I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! The ambiance at pink
I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! The ambiance at pink door, esp in the back patio area is soooo nice. Lunch time with the sun light is the vibe. The food was really good! I enjoyed the salad, bolognese, and cioppino the best. Portions are quite small though. Seasonal risotto had barely any flavor. Prices are steep here but it is a fun experience when in Seattle! Make sure you take a picture with the pink door!
I am so glad I picked this restaurant for dinner during our
I am so glad I picked this restaurant for dinner during our stay in Seattle. We walked by a group of people before opening time who said there was a line forming outside and they couldn't get in. We were glad we made a reservation. It was cool to see three different themes inside: two on the inside, and the patio outside. The food was very fresh and delicious. My favorite was obviously the house made pasta! I also had the best cocktail in my life here: "The Celery Made me do it." It was out of this world, and not what I expected. I spoke with a bartender weeks later and read the ingredients to them. Their response was, "they must have a great mixologist!" I agree, hope to return one day!
Wonderful as always! The Pink Door is my favorite
Wonderful as always! The Pink Door is my favorite restaurant in Seattle. Amazing cioppino and great wine list.
Excellent service, ambiance and music.
First time to visit Seattle and glad we picked Pink Door for our first restaurant.
I've wanted to try The Pink Door for a long time now since
I've wanted to try The Pink Door for a long time now since it's a Seattle mainstay. Of course, we had to take a picture at the popular entrance (the pink door). We were blown away by the interior of the restaurant which has a beautiful, bright section facing the waterfront. Definitely make a reservation far in advance as this spot is always packed. We started with the fresh northwest oysters with pink peppercorn balsamico ice. I love fresh oysters and the pink peppercorn pairing was phenomenal; really beautiful flavors throughout. We also got the pink door caesar which I highly recommend, though the portion is not huge. We got 4 different pastas and I have to say that the pappardelle al ragu bolognese was one of the best I've ever had. Really nice meat flavor without being too indulgent. The noodles were fresh and the perfect texture. The linguine alle vongole was packed with baby clams. We also got 2 of the seasonal pastas, one which was a spinach gnocchi and the other was an artichoke pasta. Both of these were good (especially the spinach gnocchi), but lacked in flavor compared to the pappardelle al ragu bolognese. Overall, wonderful dining experience at the Pink Door. Would definitely come back, especially for their pappardelle al ragu bolognese and evening entertainment.
I recently moved to the city and have been looking for
I recently moved to the city and have been looking for restaurants to add to my go-to list and this is definitely one! Have been here twice for dinner already, once with a reservation and once without. I've wanted to try every dish on the menu (and I just might), but so far have had the Linguine Alle Vongole and Lasagna Pink Door. Both were sooo good, but honestly, the lasagna might be the best I've ever had. The ambience of the interior is lovely, and I highly recommend going on a night with live music! Will be back!
Great restaurant at Pike Place Market
We showed up two hours early for our reservation but they found us a table. We sat in the back of the restaurant next to the bandstand and it was great for us because we loved the live music. We had a beer and later a nice bottle of wine with dinner. We shared the small House Antipasto and it was very good. We both had the Cioppino Pink Door as our entrees. This was excellent. Great service. Reasonable prices. Enjoy!
Family lunch did not disappoint
We totally loved our lunch at the Pink Door. There were 6 of us dining - 4 adults and 2 children. We sat outside to eat. Highly recommend
One of the best meals in Seattle
This place is the real deal. The service is always great but the food is over the top. There is a reason The Pink Door is number one. The place is a little hard to find and getting reservations are tough but I can tell you it is worth the effort and wait. I had a roasted chicken and spring onion strata. It was one of the best meals you can get in Seattle. Keep up the great work. This was a business party of four with four different entrees and we all agreed the meal was amazing. Highly recommend!
Great find in Seattle!
Came here on July 5 in hopes to get a walk in. Came right when they had power outage but able to get a seat at the bar once it was back up less than 10 minutes later. Meal, ambiance, and bar staff(Scott, Matt and Zach(sp?)) were all great. Highly recommended. If you’re flexible with a small group (less than 4) then try a walk in with high probability of waiting. If you can’t be flexible then make a reservation.
Delicious Food .
The Pink Door in Seattle delights with its very good ambiance, exceptional Italian cuisine, and live entertainment, offering a unique and unforgettable dining experience. The music would increase in volume when the artist was about to perform her lyric routine. Seafood was cooked to perfection. I am forever impressed with the incredible and professional service. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
Overall Good.

Recommend for a nice Italian dinner
We made reservations 30 days out for a Saturday night to sit in the lounge. We were seated immediately upon arrival. They had a good wine selection, with half bottle choices! The tables are close together but not claustrophobic. The Arancini were small, cheesier than I have experienced but delicious!! The lasagna was good. The music would increase in volume when the artist was about to perform her aerial or lyric routine. During our dinner she performed twice for about 3-4 minutes each. She was amazing
This speakeasy behind the pink door provided all the vibes!
This speakeasy behind the pink door provided all the vibes! Great ambience even with live music playing, you're able to have a conversation with your party. Service team, on point! Super friendly and accommodating. We ordered a few dishes: Arancini - great crispy outside, melting cheese on the inside over this sauce with a little kick. Linguine alle vongole - loaded with a bunch of clams, cooked with panchetta. Frankly I thought this dish was a bit dry for my liking. I like to sop up a little of pasta sauce with bread. But there wasn't even a drop. I felt the panchette was overpowering and I couldn't really taste the clam flavor in the pasta. Sicilian fennel orange salad - big fan, I was happy the salad came after the linguine. Solid simple salad as orange and fennel are great together. Ordered the flourless chocolate cake with earl grey ice cream. Loved the ice cream flavor, wished it was colder as the chocolate cake was too warm. I would come back to maybe try other dishes.. or bring a date..
incredible atmosphere, like out of a movie.
great food & drinks, lively crowd, and stellar live entertainment. don't miss an opportunity to dine here!
Omg, i got the lasagna and it was like that moment at the
Omg, i got the lasagna and it was like that moment at the end of ratatouille when the critic finally caves. The view, what a view to have by the port next to pikes place. Lucky to make it as a walk-in the servers more then happy to sit me and cater to any question i threw. Oh and if you love bread be careful!! Me and my guests had 3 orders of the house bread and olive oil; just wowed. Need i say anymore, worth the time, and definitely a recommendation anytime you come to Seattle.
Find the pink door down the alley! As you enter, you have
Find the pink door down the alley! As you enter, you have to walk down the stairs to the dining area. FYI to anyone who needs accessible entrances. Not sure if there's an elevator. Got the Prosciutto and Burrata appetizer which was amazing- how can you go wrong with rustic toasted bread with prosciutto and burrata?! Then for entree I got the Lasagna Pink Door, which is popular item, but honestly too heavy for me alone to eat. Definitely share this because there isn't any other texture to it than the lasagna and sauce. It was very soft and melts in your mouth though.
I've been wanting to go to the pink door for years now, and
I've been wanting to go to the pink door for years now, and I finally got to go this past weekend (!!). The experience was all I hoped for with live jazz music from local artists, delicious food and great friendly service. The waitress greeted us warmly and immediately asked if we had any food allergies or dietary restrictions which I appreciated. We ordered the prosciutto and burrata appetizer, complementary bread, rigatoni with meatballs, and the bolognese. The food was delicious. My partner thought the bolognese was the best he's ever had before! Sadly, I only got a picture of the appetizer. We thought the cost of food and the quantity was reasonably priced; each pasta dish being under $30. We were seated in the back area with views of the water but it can be a little loud. Reservations can only be made exactly 1-month in advance so I recommend setting a reminder to book online as soon as reservations open up. Date night or a special occasion, this place is on the top of my list for Italian restaurants. I can't wait to come back and try other dishes.
Pretty standard Italian food with great atmosphere.
Worth checking out if you're in the area
The Pink Door has delicious food and great service! Even
The Pink Door has delicious food and great service! Even though there wasn't any reservations, Taylor was able to get us at a table. The vibe of the restaurant was great and the performance was really good too. Our server, Stephanie, provided excellent service and was on top of everything. Additionally the food was really good. All the dishes we got and the dessert were delicious and very flavorful. During our stay in Seattle, this was the best restaurant we went to!
Went to the pink door on an afternoon.
Luckily skipped the afternoon rush by picking the reservation time as 11.45pm. Being a vegetarian it did have a couple of options. We were seated right next to the window overlooking the water. The service was not particularly exceptional but satisfactory. We ordered the lasagna pink door which I must say was quite flavorful. Also, ordered the grilled cheese with tomato soup which was disappointing. The tomato soup especially was something out of a tomato can. Surprisingly, the Tuscan fries with fried herbs was good. Although too much quantity for a side dish. The flash fried sage and garlic added a wonderful taste.
the food was basic, no flavor.
I asked for a glass of water, but they gave me wine. My hubby asked for the manage, but they kicked us out.
The pasta here is always made to perfection.
The quality of the pasta is better than most places in the area so you are paying for quality food here. The service is kind and fast. The ambiance is pretty. This restaurant has a great view of the pier and nice outside seating. This is a great place for a nice spring or summer date night. Watching sunsets while eating pasta here is a nice experience in Seattle.
Awesome meal, great servers, friendly and accommodating.
Not easy to find but worth the look. Our flight had been delayed and so we had to change our dinner reservation from 7:15 to 9:00. I emailed through Open Table and had a response (midair mind you) within ten minutes. We also had a Tarot reading with Kince before dinner. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Great fun! Our dinner was fantastic: Long rib (must try for meat eaters), Salmon and the "mushroom" pasta dish and ate family style. Everyone was happy! There wasn't a bit of disappointment. We will be back! Highly recommend.
The food and the ambience really made the night special.
I wish I had pictures to actually show you how amazing everything was.
