    My first experience at Remini Restaurant was last Sunday the 14th of December. My evening far exceeded my expectations and the recommendations from friends. Entering the front door you are greater by Fernando Nardone the owner. The space definitely has a family feel and Italian influence! There was a gentleman walkthru the restaurant singing every song that Frank Sinatra mastered ! The dining staff were very polite and professional they clearly understood the menu and the nightly specials. They understood the extensive wine list. The wine dinner and desert were extremely well done and the dinner portions were very generous I had no problem leaving a large tip and expressed to Fernando I would return with friends and family Truly a special evening

    We live in Bellevue have some of the best restaurants. This is the best restaurant in the Seattle area Better than Carmines, Bis and way better than Paradiso. Food was absolutely quality with the East coast style and quantity. Service and servers are amazing. Restaurant is lively yet comfortable and welcoming. Hospitality is authentic and fun to watch. Restaurant was full during a Seahawks game. Recommend reservations our third visit and always full even during week.

    Food was excellent. We respect restaurants which don’t sacrifice quality. This restaurants freshness and imagination is great. Our dishes tasted and were presented perfectly. Service was also on point with actual servers who know what they are doing. Atmosphere is fun and the hospitality is authentic Italian. Very unique restaurant for this area. We love it and recommend it highly for all occasions. Actually we had a birthday and they classily gave us the birthday treatment. Also seen a table with white rose pedals guessing celebrating an anniversary. Great place to have an actual dining experience not just eat and run. Be back often and soon

    Could not wait to come back. My wife had her favorite filet and pasta and I tried their Sunday gravy which was amazing. A dish you normally find at family gatherings after church. It was fantastic and something I will have again. We all got to sing with Tony some traditional Christmas songs and the view from our table allowed us to see boats lit up with Christmas lights and the trees all around the park made for an extra special time. We will most certainly be back again before Christmas. Thanks again to Fernando, Cindy and Tony for another great meal and experience.

    The restaurant is small and charming. Uncle Tony sings and plays his guitar occasionally-he sings a great Frank Sinatra rendition! There were 6 of us dining and all 6 were raving about their dinners. I highly recommend trying Rimini in Kirkland!

    Food was very good. Entree arrived before salad completed. Dessert took too long. Unfortunate.

    Rimini Restaurant - A True Gem in Kirkland’s Old Downtown My recent dinner at Rimini Restaurant in Kirkland’s old downtown was nothing short of spectacular. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a vibrant atmosphere that perfectly balanced sophistication with warmth. The lively ambiance, complemented by the subtle hum of conversation and the inviting aroma of authentic Italian cuisine, immediately set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The food was the star of the night. Every dish we tried showcased the finest ingredients and masterful preparation. The service was just as remarkable as the food. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. They offered thoughtful wine pairings that elevated our experience even further. Rimini Restaurant is more than just a meal; it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving exceptional Italian food, this is the place to be. I’ll certainly be back soon to savor more of what this gem has to offer!

    Been to many of the restaurants in Kirkland since moving here two years ago This restaurant is definitely No1. We had a great experience from start to finish. Our dishes from the fig salad , calamari , chicken parm were delicious. Well done in the kitchen. Our Italian server was a hoot very hospitable. We celebrated a birthday they made it fun. This place was packed during the week both times we went it is very popular and I can see why.

    The best Italian food restaurant in Kirkland (and possibly all of the PNW). The food was fresh (had the calamari to start, then moved onto the Caesar and the lobster ravioli) and the portions were large. The ravioli was so great I was thinking of ordering another one to go. Our waitress Cindy made us feel like family - very genuine and made it feel like we’ve known each other for years. Kirkland is lucky to have this gem in town and I can’t wait for our next date night.
