Every dish we had there was yummy. The flavor in each dish flowed together really well. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. And the chef was very friendly. He even brought us this rum cherry tart that wasn't on the menu and was amaze balls. I probably could have eaten the whole thing. Too bad I had to share. Nothing is done in a hurry so be ready to take your time and enjoy the meal. Portions are on the smaller side so order more and share.
Love this place! Delicious personalized cocktails, delightful staff, artful and tasty small dishes, and a relaxing ambience.
Recommend ordering the chef's tasting menu (chef tailored it for my seafood allergy) or ordering a few dishes a la carte (friend loved his)...I loved the ragu and lamb.
Chef Carsberg (James Beard Award-winning) came to chat after dinner. So worth it...will be back! :-)
Wow, this place is simply exquisite! Amazing food and excellent service from a modest chef in an open Italian kitchen. A must visit in Seattle, but the bill is not for the faint of heart... Don't skip on the salumi with the Parmesan ice cream!
Currently, this place is a hidden gem. I am from out of town, and suspect “hidden” status will change soon. I was lucky enough to find this place by accident while visiting, and everything I had was spectacular (burrata with matsutake mushroom, duck egg on a waffle, black cod on pine paper [spectacular], short rib in Barolo). Employees seem not like employees, but instead great enthusiasts of Chef Scott Carsberg. Me too now. I have emailed everyone I know in Seattle ...
Wow this place is amazing! We got about 9 different plates total between the two of us. We were full. Although the portions are small they are packed with flavor and delicious. I'm a picky eater and I loved everything we had. We ordered the tasting menu plus 2 or 3 additional plates. Not a cheap restaurant by any means but worth every penny. We had reservations on a Friday evening around 7pm and it was very busy so defiantly make reservations. Everything is so fresh even our drinks. I got mimosa with Prosecco and the orange juice was fresh squeezed just for my drink! So impressed! Great spot for date nights, business meetings, or just a dinner out with friends!
While I thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the place is rather expensive and I think some of the dishes or the redundant. I felt that three of our dishes were under seasoned but still good. We were nearing the end of our $700 meal and realize that we were still quite hungry due to the portion sizes being very small, so we had asked for some table bread which they were happy to provide at $8 on top of the cost for the chefs choice 9 course meal. $30 per bottle corkage fee is at the very top of the Spectrum as far as what restaurants charge for corkage.
One of my top 5 best dining experiences. We had the chefs tasting menu and I would highly recommend this. Dinner was 11 courses and was a 3 hour experience. Great staff with one friendly face after another.
Absolutely exquisite. Every detail of this restaurant is incredibly well thought out -- from the design of the restaurant itself, to the amazing staff and unforgettable food. You can taste just how much care Chef Carsberg puts in his food in every bite. Bisato redefines fine dining. Perfect for any occasion -- from a weekend dinner out to a weeknight drink at the bar with light bites.
Bisato is by far the most refined restaurant in Seattle. The Italian dishes are cooked and presented with artistic and modern twist. If you are looking for spaghetti and meat ball, you will not find it here, but there is an amazing black truffle embedded pasta sheet with creamy fonduta cheese sauce. Also, I was amazed how Chef Carsberg extracted intense flavors from even the humblest vegetables.
The open kitchen is set up like a laboratory; spacious, and emasculate as the heart of the restaurant right next to the dining area where you can view the chefs working diligently on their craft.
There are many options to the menu; tasting and a la carte. There is a personal touch and care to all dishes. The atmosphere is casual and yet formal. It is what you want to be. The dining room is not cramped and beautifully designed in an understated refinement. It is one place in Seattle where you can take your important guests and not be embarrassed by the food or the service!
Great hospitality by the owner. This is the first time I've had italian food that wasn't overpowering and didn't leave me overly full. The meal was very light and very filling at the same time. Ambiance is great, and it's affordable for a nice night out. Would recommend this for those who enjoy italian food but don't like the excessiveness of most italian restaurants.
This is italian food distilled down to the flavor and it's fantastic.
