Matchbook Monday: Tulio in Seattle

Today’s Matchbook Monday is from one of my standby restaurants here in Seattle, Tulio Ristorante. 

Located adjacent to the Vintage Park Hotel (a great place to stay, by the way), you can enter Tulio’s through the hotel or through its own entrance.  It’s like eating in a wine cellar or trattoria in Tuscany – cozy, full of wonderful aromas, and with wonderful waitstaff to help you make the best meal choice.

If you’re not certain if you want to have dinner here, just step inside and take a deep breath.  That’s the aroma of delicious Italian food.

Share the salumi plate ($10) and the sweet potato gnocchi appetizer ($9) with a glass of wine and great companion, and you have a light meal before heading off to the theater.  Add the warm chocolate pudding cake ($8) for dessert – it’s divine!

Tulio’s is located at 1100 5th Avenue in Seattle.  It is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Bar service is available until midnight, and until 1 am on Friday and Saturday.  A bistro menu is also available.
