IL Bistro

My experience at this Italian restaurant was simply superb.
From the moment I stepped in, the service was exceptional.
The bread they served was fresh, warm, and paired perfectly with a delightful dipping oil, setting the stage for an amazing meal ahead.
And oh, the pasta! Cooked flawlessly and paired with the most delicious sauce.
I highly recommend this place for anyone who appreciates great service and outstanding Italian cuisine.

IL Bistro is a wonderful Italian restaurant here at Pike Place.
The service is great just like the food.
The restaurant offers an intriguing, intimate, and moody atmosphere that's very enjoyable.
That plus a cool bar section creates a great dynamic mix and vibe.
I recommend the Calamari, Rigatoni Bolognese, and Tiramisu.
The sauces were done very well, the food was fresh, and the portions were good.
For parking I recommend using one of the pike place garages and walking through the market to the restaurant.
It's a nice walk! If you're not quite sure how to get there; think of the directions towards the gum wall, and walk down the steps right by the Pike Place sign and there you go, enjoy some great food!

There was not a single thing we didn’t like! I’m not one to enjoy beans, nor beets, but I ate them up here! I ordered the Honey Twist, thw foccoica, the Burrata, the pork chop, and the New York strip.
The honey twist was a lemon drop but a tad sweeter.
the foccoica was incredibly fluffy.
the burrata fell apart just how I loved it (and paired with beets w/ sprinkled pistachios and grilled foccocia).
The beets were drizzled in a balsamic glaze that made them a perfect concoction of sweet and tart.
Then the pistachios added a salty flavor.
Altogether, they were delicious! The pork chop was very tasty.
My husband ordered that and I only had a bite with the beans, so I’m not totally sure on that dish.
But oh, man, oh, god… please try the New York strip steak.
Even alone, the fingerling potatoes and green beans make it worth it.
But tho was seriously the most tender steak I have ever had.
It melted in my mouth like butter.
The crust had a slight crust that melted right into my mouth for a perfect bite of medium rare.
Please indulge!
