Message from Tulio

Enter the antique revolving doors of Seattle's Tulio Ristorante and you'll discover the sounds and aromas of a bustling Italian trattoria. Solaio, our upstairs dining room, is a charming and beautifully decorated venue with a wine-cellar motif. Tulio can accommodate up to 75 people for sit-down events and up to 100 people for a reception. There is no room rental fee charged for using Solaio. At Tulio, we strive to make each event special. Customized menus, candles for the tables and background music are complimentary. It's the perfect venue for rehearsal dinners and post wedding brunches.

This cornerstone of downtown dining offers lush Italian food and classic cocktails in an intimate setting.

The Scene
Dim and cozy, the small bar and adjoining restaurant are comfortable places for an after-work cocktail or pre-theater meal. If a nearby theater is on the agenda for the evening, servers will give plenty of speedy attention, but leisurely meals are also enjoyable--either way, the staff keeps glasses filled and tables cleared without being obtrusive.

The Food
It's easy to have a meal just of appetizers, which include crunchy grilled asparagus wrapped in prosciutto and drizzled with cream sauce, fried sweet-potato gnocchi and refreshing carpaccio accented with sweet grapes. If a larger entree is in order, don't miss the stuffed veal chop, filled with mozzarella and prosciutto. Better to request a side of ricotta whipped potatoes than save room for dessert--whether it's the overdone chocolate cake or the too-tart raspberry crostata, they're lacking in finesse.
