Cinque Terre Ristorante is hands down my favorite Italian restaurant in the South Lake Union/Downtown Seattle area.
The service is attentive and very helpful when selecting dishes / wine / drinks. Even better, every food item and drink that I’ve tried on the menu is always made to perfection.
The seafood tastes fresh and the drinks are delicious. Pro tip: order the seafood soup on a cold day :) Chef’s kiss.

A great spot for happy hour (Monday to Saturday from 3-6:30pm or 9pm-close & All day Sunday). We stopped by on a Sunday for happy hour and were seated at the bar within 15 minutes without a reservation. Sunset Rose ($17) HH Frutti di mare with spaghetti ($17.50) - Came back for this after 2 years and the recipe has changed.
Not as flavorful as last time but still good. HH Bucatini al cinghiale ($14) - This was the star of the show.
I'd come here just for this.
The pieces of boar were so tender and the bucatini was cooked to perfection.
Definitely recommend this!

I will definitely be back next time in Seattle.
Beautiful ambiance the decor is both modern and classic.
Large windows and beautiful furnishings.
But the star of the show is the exposed kitchen and the food is incredible! It was a busy Saturday night so we were seated at the kitchen counter with a full view of all the action of the chefs and cooks preparing so many meals with artful precision.
I’m vegetarian so I was worried that I would not have sufficient choices but I started with the Ceci and greens (chickpeas) came in a tiny iron skillet in a flavorful smoky sauce was so delicious.
I ordered the beet salad with fennel and Gorgonzola was fresh and delicious.
The beets were sliced super thin like carpaccio and the fennel also delicately sliced.
Amazing! Since I prefer not a pasta dish ( many vegetarians will agree with me that I’m sick of eating pasta as my main because the restaurant has no other vegetarian mains) - I asked the server if they have eggplant because it was not on the menu.
Before I knew it I could see the kitchen preparing and baking a half eggplant for me and made it into this gorgeous dish with sauce and garnished.
See pics.
Server was lovely and attentive.
Fantastic experience overall highly recommend!
