    I have lost count how many times I have been to Rimini. Rimini never fails to deliver with fantastic food, service, and ambience. Bravo to the Nardone family for creating the very best restaurant in the Puget Sound area.

    Enjoyed the ambiance and experience at Rimini very much. From the calamari to the meatballs, it was fresh and flavorful. Tony was a hit with the singing! Happy to have found Rimini and will be back very soon.

    Lovely, authentic atmosphere — perfect lightning and noise, with a man gently singing and playing guitar for guests. Unbelievably delicious food from a very wide selection of pastas and traditional Italian dishes, also a very large wine menu. Excellent service, including complementary bread and dessert wine, and very smiley and friendly servers with great recommendations. Very reasonable prices considering the quality. We will be coming back as often as possible, it was simply a perfect dining experience.

    Took my daughter to Rimini for her birthday. It was her first time here. Fernando greeted her with Happy Birthday which just set the stage for the evening. She said the halibut was the best that she ever tasted. And Tony came and sang her an aria as well as Tony and Gino sang her a duet of Happy Birthday in Italian. Every table around us was enjoying their meals and celebrating the evening. There is something very special at Rimini and I can not express how wonderful the food, the staff and each experience has been. It was a fantastic evening. Thank you Fernando, Cindy, Tony and the entire team at Rimini.

    The menu choices are good but the food execution is very average. Pasta isn't fresh which is a must in a supposed traditional East coast Italian restaurant. Sauces very chain restaurant-like in taste. Overall noise is high especially when the opera singer is floating around the room. Service was slow. Had to ask multiple times to have water filled at table. Server left table before asking everyone for their order.

    Sorry to hear about your less than favorable experience at my family’s restaurant. This is not reflective of a usual visit to Rimini Restaurant. We take all feedback seriously and look into for we are always seeking to improve. I’m not questioning your experience. I can only say that in fact our pastas are fresh. Of course not all pastas -70 percent of our pastas fresh. Other pastas are a high quality dry pasta imported from Italy. As are our sauces all made per order by scratch by my mother a Michelin star chef and our award winning culinary team. Our family has a long history in the area of producing a quality product. We take pride in our quality. We use only the top local and imported Italian products. Grazie, Ferdinando
