We were in Seattle not all that long ago and particularly enjoyed Rover's, a rather classic and fine French restaurant somewhat out of the center of town in a very residential almost suburban area. Downtown, we enjoyed dinner at Brasa, a rather young and a bit trendy restaurant. I guess the food at Brasa was NW meets the Mediterannean, but it was a friendly and thoroughly successful meeting. I'm sure Seattle has some good Italian restaurants, but so do other places.

Restaurant in Seattle
Seattle has dozens of Italian restaurants. The best probably is Il Terrazzo Carmine, followed, in no particular order, by La Buca, Leo Melina's, Assaggio and Al Boccalino. Cafe Juanita, across Lake Washington in Kirkland, is an excellent bet.

I wouldn't put La Buca or Leo Melina's anywhere near the "best" list. Seriously. Replace them with Cafe Lago. Asiaggo and Al Boccalino I agree with.
