Bar Cotto

I walked in in the mission of trying a new restaurant in Capitol Hill, and I left the place delighted by the food, service and experience. I ordered the three course happy hour meal, and it’s was the perfect experience to share with my partner. I was very thankful by the presentation of everything and the taste. The waitress was very engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. She went above and beyond so we could have a great experience. I loved the relaxing and intimate atmosphere the restaurant offers. Definitely a great environment to celebrate with your partner, go on a date or catch up with friends. Bar Cotto is definitely my new go to place when I want Italian food in Capitol Hill.

Really happy this came up searching for "Italian". My partner and I came down from Vancouver for a few days and this restaraunt was a great first stop. Great deal for a 3 course meal with drinks. The pasta was the bomb, if I wasnt sharing that whole plate would have been gone in an instant. The pizza was great, but I think it sat out a bit too long so it was a bit cold coming to us. Didn't dissapoint taste wise though. The staff are friendly and hard workers. They seemed very busy for when we came. If we come back to Seattle anytime soon we will definitely stop here!

Highly recommend the happy hour, it's a great deal! They also have a good dinner for 2 deal. Atmosphere and service was great! Now for the food: Brussels sprouts were good but a tad heavy (although wife liked them a lot) Meatballs were good, and the personal pizza was tasty and a great deal! It's more like 10". Panna cotta from the seasonal menu didn't have a strawberry reduction as listed on the menu, it was just some cut up strawberries. It kind of tasted like vanilla ice cream. Good but definitely not the best panna cotta I've had. Would recommend!

I had the charred broccolini and the spaghetti with meatballs. Everything came out hot, and while the meatballs were tad salty everything else was delicious. They seemed short a host today so I had to wait a while, but the guy who ended up serving me was professional. I'm glad they have outdoor dining!

They have great deals here! We love the $60 for a salad, pizza, pasta, and bottle of wine! Happy hour deals are also really nice. Everything is really tasty and they have this awesome chili oil that’s delicious as well :)) Also plenty of vegetarian options! Staff is really kind, they let us taste a few wines before we chose a bottle that we liked.
