The “food lives up to” the “wonderful”, “romantic” candlelit ambiance at this Pike Place Market Italian “classic”, a famously “fabulous date restaurant” that also sets hearts aflutter with its “terrific” “hearty” cuisine (“great rack of lamb”, “excellent risottos”); its “fun bar” is known as the “perfect martini destination”, with a great “single-malt scotch” selection to boot, ideal for “cuddling and quaffing the night away.” Zagat Survey |

"For
a quarter-century, Il Bistro has been a cherished refuge down a narrow
cobblestone street in Pike Place Market. It's an intimate grotto, like a
room from the set of Casablanca: low-ceilinged, rounded arches, whitewashed
walls. A step-down bar draws a lively crowd of regulars - and smokers - who
dispatch clouds and conversation to engulf the nearest dining-room tables.
Though chefs come and go, Il Bistro still serves Seattle's best rack of
lamb, six ribs of surpassing texture and flavor. The menu three-steps
through the classic Italian dinner journey: appetizer, pasta, and main
course. Sign up for the full trip, and the knowledgeable staff will offer a
half-portion of the pasta - or gnocchi or polenta. The fare also follows
Italian culinary tradition by celebrating straightforward flavors of
first-rate ingredients...." Best Places Seattle, 8th edition - rating: 3 Stars |
