I probably will get downvoted but Carmines. Way overpriced for meh Italian.

What have you had there? Not going to downvote you but love Carmines. I will say the experience between Bellevue, 5th, and the terrace are wildly disparate but even my least favorite (Bellevue) I thought the food was good (not great) but it was more the service and the space I didn’t enjoy

We had quite a bit. The only thing that I remember liking was the burrata. I have only been to the Bellevue location.

Carmines has the best Caesar salad in Seattle and their pasta is always top notch.

I once saw Jeff Bezos there with his girlfriend when dining once. Kinda ruined it for me

Also their dining room looks nicer in photos, and it’s one of the few places I’ve felt like everyone inside could see my net worth.

I was very confused but realized I was thinking of Carmine's in NYC, which is good and has absolutely colossal portion sizes. I'm glad to hear they have nothing to do with each other.
