    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.

    No restaurant does it better. I tip my hat off to this place. Food is quality fresh ingredients and large portions don’t let the large portions fool you. We are foodies and this restaurant serves quality. Pasta is fresh sauces are tasty you can see the care they put into the dishes. We have tried many since they opened but have more to try. Atmosphere the hospitality and fun vibe you can’t find anywhere.

    Rimini in Kirkland offers an authentic and rich dining experience that transports you straight to the heart of Italy. Each dish boasts bold, traditional flavors, prepared with evident care and attention to detail. While I found the use of crème and butter a touch heavy for my palate, the rest of my party couldn’t stop raving about the decadent sauces and perfectly cooked pastas. The portions were generous, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a hearty, satisfying meal. It’s a spot where authenticity meets indulgence, and for most, it’s a winning combination.

    I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing atmosphere was great. All the servers were very nice and very knowledgeable. They also had somebody playing the guitar singing Italian songs, which was really nice. Highly recommend you try this one.
