For more than 20 years, Paolo’s has been bringing the taste of Italy to Kent. Paul Raftis founded the restaurant after growing up learning to cook along side his mother, Darlene Raftis. He enjoys the open kitchen he can chat with guests as he works. He never tires of hearing "It smells so good in here!" As a marathoner, he is living proof that that you can eat Italian and be healthy. In fact, one of his signature dishes, "Fettucine Paolo" was featured in Runner's World magazine. "It's one of the dishes I developed, it has no cream in it, no butter." It's a delicious pasta dish that utilizes olive oil, garlic, chicken stock, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, and chicken. So whether it's bruschetta, cioppino, pizza, or spaghetti and meatballs, Paul thanks each of you for choosing to dine here.

    We finally made it here after years of walking by the door! The restaurant is much larger than it looks from the outside. Beautiful decor, great service, live music, and fantastic menu. We got lucky and were seated in the back room with a view!

    This is our second year doing Thanksgiving at Black Angus/Federal Way, Washington. This year, I was a little late in making reservations and had to settle for seating in the bar. I was fine with that but when we arrived, our hostess advised me they had a booth in the dinner area that would be available in about 5 minutes. I was thrilled. We began by ordering cocktails and because our request was a little out of the ordinary, the bar tender personally came to our table to clarify our choices. Consequently, the drink was perfection. I had ordered Tom Collins (with gin instead of vodka), dirty with three green olives. Our dinner was excellent. I have never been able to stomach sweet potatoes but their chef does a wonderful job with them. I could pass on the mashed potatoes & gravy and have a double dose of the sweet potatoes. The steamed broccoli was not bland at all, seasoned to perfection. I have to say that their chef really has a special way with the seasonings. Always dresses things up but never over do's. Our waitress was attentive without being overbearing and served us beautifully. We will definitely being doing this again next year. In fact, already made reservations for Christmas Eve.

    My family had a perfect dining experience, and we left happy and satisfied. The service, food, atmosphere are unrivaled. The views, of course, are spectacular. I have eaten at Salty's many times over the years, but it just seems to get better with experience. What a gem of a restaurant!

    The food was amazing. The atmosphere was excellent with great service and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Price the food before you go so you are not surprised by the bill. The quality of the food was worth the money for us. But it will be a dinner to save for.

    Such a lovely night and dining experience all the way around. Food and drinks were absolutely exceptional. Service - wonderful: attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance…lovely, but just a bit chilly by the front door. Looking forward to returning soon.
