Authentic Cuisine, From Northern Italy to Seattle
Since its inception, Tulio has been a regular on restaurant awards lists, thanks in no small part to Chef Walter Pisano, whose cooking is inspired as much by his travels through the Old World as his Italian roots. Tulio’s dishes are simple yet sophisticated, combining rustic Italian preparations with local ingredients to create bold flavors and an unforgettable dining experience. Recognizing that our guests have different tastes and dining preferences, we proudly offer several gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian dishes on each of our daily menus. If you have any food allergies or other special requests, please let us know.

We loved the sweet potato gnocchi appetizer, and every single entree exceeded expectations. Servings are generous but not over the top. We enjoyed some classics like the orecchiette with red sauce and Italian sausage, as well the unexpected: 10 year scallops, a juicy chicken with lemon risotto, and a homemade pappardelle with lamb ragú. The chocolate pot de creme and olive oil cake were the perfect finish. Easy parking at the Kimpton, nice date spot!

We shared the sweet potato gnocchi as an appetizer which was divine. Then ordered 2 Lamb Shank dishes, 1 Tagliatelle with mussels and I had the ravioli. We brought our own wine. Daniela our waitperson was simply the best. She was personable, knowledgeable, and patient as we took our time discussing the menu. A big thank you to her for making our evening an enjoyable experience.
