   What a great little hidden gym inside downtown Kirkland! The chicken marsala with the cheese stuffed pasta is one of the best that I’ve ever had.

   I had the Lamb shank special over a bed of risotto, and it was fantastic, I will have it again!

   Fabulous new local restaurant! Remini is all the buzz...I heard from neighbors and gave it a try last week and loved everything about Remini. It is easy to find and park in beautiful downtown Kirkland near the waterfront. Our service was excellent - good attention but not too much to make you feel rushed. Our server, Gino, got our order exactly right and others helped keep our water glasses full and table clean and orderly. Our meals were delivered quickly and served toasty warm. As we watched other dishes pass by our table our mouths were watering because everything looked incredibly good. I ordered lemon chicken and it was by far the best pasta dish I have had since I was actually in Italy! My daughter's food was equally delicious. I ordered the house white wine = it was perfect and served well chilled. We had the Nutella Cheesecake for desert and it was a sweet way to end the evening. We will definitely tell others and return soon. Thanks Remini!

   Been now a handful of times. Never disappoints we can dine at Rimini every day. Food , service are amazing buts it’s the people that sets this place on top on its own as the best restaurant around the sound. Tge fact it’s packed every time we go meaning people feel the same. We are no ordinary diners we eat out all over the world for our job. This is one of the best overall restaurants we been too. Fabulous Job highly recommend make reservations

   Another amazing meal and one that we were really looking forward to having. We were visiting our Son in South Austin Texas for the past week and the dinner subject of having Italian came up. Texas should stick with barbecue. We were not able to find an authentic Italian restaurant, even though the hotel spoke so highly of some recommendations they could not get close to Rimini. On the flight home we were already making reservations. There is something very special about the Nardone family and how we are treated like family and the food shows the caring. We enjoy every visit and every bite takes us back to the family trattorias hidden off the main paths in Italy. Not where the tourists eat but where the local families gather for good conversation, good food and good wine. Thank you Fernando, Cindy and Tony for how you make us feel and for the amazing food and wine that we can share.

   Rimini is not just a restaurant it's a wonderful dining experience. The food is spectacular with generous portions. The cocktails are huge. The staff is amazing, live singing a fun touch that doesn't disappoint. The atmosphere is energetic and fun and everyone is having a good time. I celebrated my birthday there and will be back on a regular basis. This lively authentic Italian restaurant is a must.

   We dined at Rimini at the suggestion of a trusted colleague who raved. We would not rave about Rimini. For Italian food it definitely has a lot going for it. But for a dining experience it is lacking in our opinion primarily because of the noise level. We dine out for the overall experience and that includes enjoying conversation. That is not possible (at least on a busy Saturday night) at Rimini. That said, it is not as loud as Como or El Encanto where you have to literally SHOUT across the table to be heard, but conversation in a normal voice at Rimini is not happening. Moving on the food, three words - extremely generous excellent. We both ordered salads. Mine was the Radicchio Caesar that fresh, crisp, well prepared and presented with an appropriate level of dressing. It was also large enough for two meals for me. My wife had the Cherry Tomato Caprese which was also fresh and nicely presented. It was also large enough for two meals. Thank goodness for takeout boxes. The pasta choices are extensive with just about any kind of pasta you could name accompanied by an impressive array of accompaniments - seafood, veal, chicken, game and on and on. Again, the portions were huge from our perspectives. I had the Baked Kobe Ziti that was outstanding. Again thanks to takeout boxes, it has provided me with 3 meals. My wife had the Scampi Pasta Rose that came with lots of huge scampi with a wonderful sauce. This yielded two meals for my wife. Even though we were stuffed, we splurged on a dessert. The Gelato Limoncello was to-die-for. Served in a chilled flute glass it was just the right size as well as balance between tartness and sweetness. So give Rimini a try and enjoy Tony the opera singer.

    Food is amazing quality preparation and even large portions. We had the cabonnara and bolognese pastas absolutely delicious fresh pasta cooked perfectly. The service is excellent people genuinely care about making sure you are happy. The vibe in the restaurant is like no other restaurant absolutely amazing atmosphere feels like you are in Italy staff speaking Italian live music gets the entire restaurant singing there theme song just wonderful stuff. No place you can go like this place
