    It was my Wife’s birthday and I asked her where she wanted to go for dinner. She said Rimini. It was an excellent birthday experience. She had her favorite, the filet and I joined her with the same. Absolutely amazing. Tony made it extra special by singing her happy birthday which just capped off the perfect evening. We love coming here and Fernando, Cindy and the entire team makes us feel like family. Thank you for making it a very special birthday!

    We have dined several times now. This place is all the buzzz. I hear people mentioning this restaurant more than I have heard any restaurant being talked about ever before in the Seattle area. For good reason the hospitality, food , service , atmosphere and feel when you are at this restaurant is like you are not in Seattle but Italy or New York. I’m almost hesitant to make this review place is very popular. When we arrived for our 7:45 reservation there was a line up out the door. Short rib ravioli is what I had and it was amazingly delicious. Soft pasta tender rib sauce excellent very tasty unique. Had the owners family wine they produce in their hometown in Italy full body very good. Thank you everyone for a great experience. PS it wasn’t our birthday but this is the place to come if you want to celebrate. They do so much to make sure you are taken care of.

    We had the most authentic experience last night at Rimini. The food was exceptional, it was as if it came straight from my grandmother’s kitchen. If you can’t make it to Italy, Rimini is right here in Kirkland. The atmosphere and staff were wonderful.

    Rimini offered a fabulous dining experience from start to finish with authentic Italian food and atmosphere. The bar is very small but delightful and I enjoyed a cocktail while waiting for the rest of my party. Every team member was friendly, helpful and sincere. We enjoyed the calamari app which was generous enough for 5 persons. The entrees were excellent and we loved the halibut with cheese risotto and the pappardelle wild boar bolognese, as well as two other pasta dishes. Tony's guitar serenade topped off our evening with charm. I look forward to next visit and trying other dishes. Highly recommend. It was not difficult to find parking within a block or two's walk.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Rimini last Thursday and it was exceptional across the board. We didn’t realize it was a new restaurant but I hope it’s around for a long time. Four of us ordered different entrees and they were all amazing. The servers were excellent and truly cared about our experience. Easily would give our dinner a 10 out of 10!

    I think that this was my 6th visit to Rimini and it always delivers great food, energetic ambience with a friendly accommodating staff. The classic chicken parm was exquisite while my friend thought the Veal risotto was delicious. Despite my multiple visits this place never gets old and was crowded even at 4:30 in the afternoon! Obviously the word is out about this fantastic restaurant. You definitely need to make reservations.
