My husband and I finally stopped in after living in the area for years. I wish we’d gone much sooner! I can’t possibly use enough superlatives to explain how AMAZINGLY wonderful our food was. The staff was very friendly and the décor is now one of my favorites. But to be perfectly honest, they could be carnies serving out of a panel van and if the food still tasted like this I’d still be in love!

Been visiting here for years and even though its a haul we keep returning for the food. Barbeque Italiano pasta a favorite, but you cant go wrong with any of the pasta options. 4 stars due to the tired booths and screaming kid they seated behind us (we were out for date night, not relaxing). Good wine options and check discount if you ride in on a motorcycle.

Quaint Italian restaurant tucked away in Kirkland... Prices are fair and the food is on par with other Italian restaurants. The arrangement of tables are a bit compact. Would prefer a more spacious setting for privacy. Parking is a challenge during busy times. Food 4 Service 3 Decor and Ambience 3 Cleanliness 3.75

Nice menu variety and friendly, attentive wait staff make this place popular, and of course the quality and flavor of the meals is also great. Family friendly but not overrun with kids and crying babies so can be romantic too. I do love the decor with the vintage Italian racing bikes, posters, photos and other memorabilia

Good service, and delicious food. Split an order of gnocchi with chicken and their pepperoni pizza. Both were very good. We went an hour before dinner so things were pretty quiet, but food still came out prompt, hot, and fresh. Very cool theme of motorcycles that fits the atmosphere very well. Would definitely go again.

The scallops in cream sauce with capers makes me sigh at the very though. This is an amazing restaurant, great atmosphere, and stunning food. The sauces are awe inspiring. The prices are reasonable for what you get. If you want a $7 entree that tastes bland...go elsewhere. Even the tomato sauce stands out.

I didnt have a great food experience here. The chicken Parmesan was a bit burnt, soggy and unappetizing. Im not a food expert but it felt like they cooked the chicken at least an hour before serving and let it sit in the sauce for too long! Oh well. Staff were great on the positive note.

The food here was very good (the bruschetta was delicious!), but the service is what really made this place 5 stars. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our unique situation, and couldnt have been more gracious. We were extremely impressed- THANK YOU!!!

Wonderful service. We go often & have friends who come from Tacoma & Burien to eat here. Food always tastes fresh and is abundant. Amazing beer & wine lists. Our favs: Shrimp & Mushroom pizza with pesto, any Lasagna, Greek Salad, but really everything is Yummy.

Fabulous food and service. Hands down the best pesto Ive ever eaten and they sent me home with extra! My water glass was always full, the gnocchi was super soft and the tiramisu was not only delicious, but a great price. Great place to take family.

Their chicken scampi is to die for. So savory and just amazing! It is consistant in its flavor every time we go. It is a family friendly place, always busy no matter what time of day, which tells you it is good food. Its casual and friendly.

Their paninis are not good - are not even cooked like paninis. However their walnut and goat cheese salad is amazing. I will stick with that and the pizza going forward. Patio is nice too. Inside is a bit dark for me, but it is serviceable.

Excellent food and wine selection, the friendliest staff, and the vintage motorcycles are a delight! This restaurant has the beloved family feel and you truly get the best service and most delicious Italian food. No other place compares!!

Интересный интерьер, большой выбор вин, итальянская кухня. Есть места и в помещении, и на улице.

Horrible service but the food was great. Jesse "the manager" wasnt helpful or an enjoyable person to even order from let alone making mistakes after mistake. He was unapologetic and rude. I love the food but I doubt I will ever come back.

We have our motorcycle club meetings here once a month. In the winter, we use the club room in the back, and in the summer, we sit on the deck. Reasonable food at reasonable prices. I usually get the chicken scampi or the lamb lasagna.

Absolutely best Italian on the eastside. Loose leaf tea instead of bagged teas, fresh Espresso, great wines, cozy fireplace and the best Gino and Portofino dishes around. Try the Tiramisu, authentically prepared and delicious.

Hosted a family dinner in their semi-private room and it worked great. Everyone loved the foold, and the service was very good. Its a bit of a squeeze for ~30 people, but well priced and seamless!

Great food at a reasonable price; super fast and always cordial service; nice outdoor deck seating; have been coming to this restaurant since I was a kid - love the La Buona Donna and chop salad!!

Pizza tastes very good but the thin crust one was burnt on the edges. The waiter told me this is usually the case. Not helpful if one cant eat 15% of the food on the table. Very good wines.

Up in Kirkland for the Kari Jobe concert, wanted to find a cute place for dinner beforehand & came to Cafe Veloce. Wonderful find, amazing Lasagna & Chicken Scampi Alfredo! Gotta try it!

Cozy food at ok prices and good portions. Service is spotty. Sometimes great, other times less so. Comfortable atmosphere for hanging out long time and chatting til they kick you out.

Ordered from Amazon Prime Restaurants. Food was delivered on time, pastas and soup were hot and delicious, salad was crisp, everything was packed neatly. Great dinner! Thank you.

Very good neighborhood Italian restaurant. Not the biggest menu possible, but more than enough to satisfy pretty much everyone. Nice wine list, including local and Italian options.

Went to Dinner for Vegetarian food. Everything was amazing from bruschetta to garlic bread, to Mediterranean pasta. The waiter was not up to the task though. Definitely going again

Ordered take out Pizza and EggPlant Parmesan. Really not typical italian food. The pizza was one of the worst I had. Same quality as a frozen Pizza for $14! Do not recommend.

Terrific Caesar salad and the meatballs are outstanding. Excellent service and very affordable. The bread and garlic butter would make a meal alone. DO NOT pass on the bread.

Fun place with good selections of drinks,food options, etc. Reasonable price, but rather a let down in the 3 main entrées we tried. We would try pizza or similar next time.

Super tasty! Had the Lasagna and the Salcito pasta. Both had their own unique flavor. The lasagna was a bit spicy, but still very tasty. Prompt service and cool decor.

First time here and definitely coming back. Great decor of nostalgic motorcycles that are rare and restored. Food is fantastic and just plan on dieting the next day.

Tried it a few times - didnt understand why all the 5 star reviews. The decor idea is interesting, but interior design is haphazard and food is just mediocre.
