Amaro Bistro

I would not recommend going here. We had a 6:30pm reservation and were sat promptly. We waited nearly another half hour before our orders had been taken and 40 minutes before had either our wines or our soft drinks. It was another 20 minutes before we got our salads, and we were an hour and 15 minutes after our reservation before getting our meals. $175 for that meal was asinine, and that was after comping the Caesar. Our server, Andre, did apologize for the wait, but then was nowhere to be seen for the next 20-30 minutes. All told, for a 6:30 reservation, we didn't leave until 8:15. The food was okay, but I would recommend the Olive Garden for better rigatoni.

We had reservations for 6:30pm on a Thursday. It was mostly full, but we were seated right away. We then waited 15 minutes for our waiter (Andre) to ask us about drinks. 42 minutes later, we finally had 2 glasses of wine and a Pepsi on the table. Twenty minutes after that, we finally had our appetizer and a Caesar salad on the table. After an hour and a half, we finally had entrees on the table. Let's talk about those. Appetizer: Ricotta al Tartufo The ricotta itself, was really good. Unfortunately, there was not enough bread. This, I don't understand. Bread is cheap; quit being greedy. Three slices of toast for a cup to a cup and a half of whipped ricotta? We each (3 of us) had it spread an inch thick on the toast and there was still a serving left on the plate. So I have to leave an

Food is amazing along with the service and our waiter Sherman was top notch with great service and recommendations. Spent my 27th birthday here tonight and was not disappointed. Had some appetizer and wine along with a great braised short rib. A great place in Bothell for a night out

Told the hostess i was ordering for my child and i asked if the antipasti was enough food for one. She responded the antipasti is enough to share for 2. I ordered a whipped cheese order from the antipasti side thinking it was a pasta meal for a child. When i got home i was disappointed that no pasta was included and definitely no meal. I am regretful for spending money because i gave the benefit of the doubt to the hostess when i said ordering a meal for my child that she would have suggested the pasta side of the menu and not let me leave with a useless piece of bread and cheese. A good recommendation from a restauranteur goes a long way.

Excellent service, delicious hearty portions, wonderful ambiance. We ordered: a huge salad with goat cheese, lasagna, pizza with mushrooms, and the pork chop entree. There were 4 of us, we shared the food amongst each other, and we still didn’t finish everything!!
