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. Tulio Ristorante is more than a favorite spot for downtown Seattle diners. It’s one of the Best Italian restaurants in Seattle and even the country-just ask Travel + Leisure magazine. The main reason; Chef Walter Pisano and his innovative yet authentic take on northern Italian cuisine. He uses only the freshest Pacific Northwest ingredients in the kitchen, while the elegant dining room bustles with convivial grace. Our central Seattle location near the downtown business district makes us ideally situated for a power breakfast, business lunch, brunch, pre-theater dinner or casual bite. Whether you are planning a small meeting, an intimate dinner, or a grand cocktail party, we look forward to accommodating you at our downtown Seattle venue, conveniently located on the corner of 5th Avenue and Spring Street, adjacent to Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle (we can even offer your guests limited valet parking through the hotel). Our private dining room, Solaio, features 660 square feet of flexible event space ideal for wedding receptions, corporate breakfasts, board meetings, cocktail parties and more. Chef Pisano has specially designed menus for your function, or you can customize your own.
