This is good, simple food for a reasonable price. I keep coming here for dinner when I'm just not feeling it for something fancy.
Most of the time, dinner is spaghetti with the crab and greens opener. Every now and then, I try one of the specials that pop up from time to time. Lamb neck in napa, sure? I'll give it a go and most of the time, the dish doesn't disappoint.
It's in the Madrona neighborhood and it's not a fuss to head there for some comforting food. I keep coming back, so that's a good thing.
As a bit of a disclaimer I am a bit of a sucker for Brian Clevenger's food. I loved him at Staple and Fancy and I have been wanting to try Vendemmia since I heard he was opening it. Well last night we finally got a babysitter and my wishes were granted. The space is very industrial which I love. There are only about 12 tables and you can basically see all of the kitchen (which I also love). We started with the heirloom, tomatoes, mozzarella, which most places is known as caprese, but here it is known as honestly one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. The fresh mozzarella, and the grilled bread, and the perfectly seasoned tomatoes... Ok I digress. The next part of our meal was the only snafu. The waiter admitted he put in our order wrong and my spaghetti came out close to 15 minutes before my husbands steak. It definitely put an awkward timing on the meal but they more than rectified it by taking it off of our bill. The spaghetti was simple but divine. The flavored were off the chart. My husband didn't love his steak disappointingly. He said it was tough and that he wouldn't recommend it. I think it was the cut of the meat because it definitely was not overcooked. We finished the meal with a vanilla panna cotta with fresh grilled peaches. It definitely did not disappoint. Overall I love the concept of the restaurant and a few tweaks I think it will consistently be great.
It was a busy Saturday early evening. We ordered several dishes for the group to share. The food was delicious. We waited for the dishes to come out longer than expected but they were worth the wait. The pastas were surprisingly good. We wish the portion size could be bigger so we ordered extra for the group!
很好!Had a great time. Great for a nice night out with friends out for date night. Drinks were very enjoyable and went well with the handmade pastas.
Dishes had a lot of care and I enjoyed the American-Italian style for a laid back but very well put together dinner. One of those places you keep coming back to.
So good ! I just had dinner here last night, and I have to say it was pretty amazing. First the meatballs. Yes, I know most restaurants. Meatballs are boring and all taste the same BUT the meatballs here were stand out really unique flavor in the meat Plus it’s not just a boring plain red sauce put on top or marinara. It’s really unique flavor sauce they put time into. We ordered a second order of it at the end of the meal!
Plus the pastas! We had the Bucatini with pancetta, Rigatoni with a rabbit and the Garganelli with shrimp. All 3 yummy! My fave was the bucatini.
Really the only dish I didn’t love of the night was the snap peas with crab. It was too salty for me. Still ate all of it but over salted.
You also have to try their chocolate cake ! See my pictures and video attached. Will def go back
Pasta was cooked perfect. Everything was seasoned well. Could have used some heat, either spice or pepper though. Starter, pasta, mains, dessert and coffee all were done well. This is a place worth trying but I’m basing the four stars on would I rush to come back… not really. The service was okay, not additive which is not what I’d expect spending $1600+.
Bottom line: they know how to make and cook pasta. The ricotta toast with mushroom was phenomenal and I don’t like mushrooms. They were rather large too. The pork was so good, the steak was also tasty but the cook on the steak was medium rare and I like touch closer to medium. Wasn’t asked though 🤔 Oh, the Tuna was great too!
What a wonderful dining experience. Subtle decor and attentive staff makes for a wonderful upscale casual dining experience. Everything on the menu looked so good so we went with the tasting menu. Every dish was fantastic. The pasta course was a cauliflower puree in pasta pockets with a lemon style sauce and it was life changing. My words don't do it justice. It was a wonderful date night and we will absolutely go back.
Walked by this place many times and never had a chance to stop by. Today we celebrate a birthday so I decided to celebrate with Vendemmia. Is nice that they are close and walkable to us. We enjoy the atmosphere of this cute little neighborhood restaurant. Great service and everything we have here is amazingly delicious. The price seems reasonable. It is pretty standard for Seattle. We had 3 cocktails, a glass of wine, 1 appetizer, 3 pasta shared dishes, 1 entree, dessert, and is $245 with tips.
Definitely going to come here more often. Highly recommend this place!
Such an amazing spot for a beautiful evening. Every time I come here I have a great experience. The cocktails and pasta are always spot on, and I love the cozy ambience of the entire restaurant! Highly recommend for a romantic evening with a partner or a group of girlfriends!
The best all-around meal I've had in Seattle! Amazing authentic tiramisu!!
Delicious spaghetti - best I’ve ever had. Only suggestion I would make is that it should have had better garnish - maybe a larger piece of basil on top and also it would have been a nice touch to be offered freshly grated Parmesan/Reggiano when served. Corkage fee was $50 so we opted to just buy wine by the glass.
Really enjoyed this place. Bright, airy, fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful. Took some friends who were here from out of town and they were impressed. We each ordered an appetizer and a pasta and all the dishes were great. Very pleased!
