We went here for a birthday celebration The service and ambience were excellent. I would recommend the bucatini! We loved it a lot and would definitely try it again. They have a great selection of wine too

Honestly, this place would've been a 5 star if not for that chicken that was straight up a lie. Tasty food, great service. It was relatively quiet when we came in for dinner on a Sunday night. Definitely pricey, but I thought the quality of the food was good. Except for the fact that there was a "large plate" of "half a chicken" for $40. It was not even a quarter of a chicken and was literally baked chicken, beans, and two sprigs of broccolini I hope that chicken was organic and free range for what I paid for it.

A business dinner for three. Excellent service and food. Substantial portions and good flavors. The server had great timing and attitude. The floor was full so the sound level was on the high side but overall not a problem. I have been here several times now and find this place very consistent and dependably good

We REALLY love Rione XIII - the food is consistently phenom and we appreciate that the pastas and pizza options change pretty regularly, so there's always something new to try. The GF pasta they use is the best hands down I've ever had. We are a mixed household of 1 GF meat eater and 1 vegetarian gluten eater and we genuinely appreciate how many options there are for both of us and how friendly and accommodating their team is with deconstructing certain apps so we can both share and enjoy. Speaking of their team - they are delightful! Super knowledgeable, chill, friendly, approachable, appropriately attentive - literally no notes. When we are looking for a spot where we know the food and service and energy can be counted on to be worth the commute and money spent, more and more we choose one of the many amazing ESR options. Rione XIII is def a fave in our rotation! Highly recommend!

Dined here during Seattle Restaurant Week so we could get a good sampling of their offerings. The 3 of us ordered the Insalata Mista ( just tasted like a pile of lettuces with parm and lemon/evoo), burrata (wine poached pears, crackers, charcuterie meats), carbonara, bucatini, and tiramisu & warm cookie sundae. Of note: The cookie is an Oatmeal Raisin cookie and not the usual Chocolate Chip. This actually was a nice surprise for us. All in all it was a decent meal. Nothing outstanding IMO but the other 2 in my party said they would come back again. I think I would come back if the service was better. I finished my cocktail a short time after the entrees arrived, and we couldn't find our server to take my wine order until I was almost finished with my carbonara. I'm not a fan of casarecce pasta for Carbonara and it was a dry dish for me. The pasta tasted definitely tasted better with the wine. Unfortunate that I got it so late. We were 1 of 2 tables at this point so not sure why it was so slow. We will give this place another go but I prefer to try other ESR restaurants first.

I am shocked that this restaurant only has 3.8 stars! Thursday nights they have BOGO pasta off the main menu, and we went during happy hour (4 - 6 PM). I was so impressed with their summer sausage/green squash pasta dish (5/5 stars blow your mind amazing), under carbonara (4.5/5 stars) was good as well. Unfortunately, the seasonal shrub (2/5 stars) had such a strong vinegar taste that I sent it back, but I did not really enjoy the rosemary lemonade (2/5 stars, tasted too similar to Minute Made lemonade) I got, either. Overall, we are thrilled, and plan on going back some Thursday - or maybe during another happy hour to try some of the pizzas!

Tl;dr this place hits. Rione is in a quieter part of cap hill with a cozy, intimate ambiance. There's some street parking, but can be a little difficult. I ended up parking in the nearby Safeway lot My friends and I ordered the burrata to share, the mushroom papardelle, bucatini, and radiatore. And tiramisu for dessert. The burrata was a solid 7/10. Very light, but on the sweeter side since it comes with figs and apricots. It was yummy, but it hit the least. Radiatore was 10/10. That pasta hit. It was perfectly cooked, I love the pasta shape because it holds so much of the bolognese sauce in the ridges, and the sauce itself was delicious. It was also just a touch spicy which added a good extra layer of flavor. Bucatini also 10/10. The pasta also hit. The pasta noodles were nice and chewy, perfectly al dente and the sauce was flavorful. Papardelle, I wasn't a huge fan but only because its main flavor is mushrooms and I'm a bit of a mushroom hater. My friend really enjoyed it though. Extra note, the past portions are large, so I'd recommend sharing, or packing leftovers for another meal. Lastly, we got tiramisu for dessert which hit extra. It comes with a little almond cookie which was so good. The tiramisu itself was super moist and the perfect balance of bitter coffee and sweet cream. The service here was also amazing , 10/10. Our server, Diego, was super attentive and helpful. The restaurant automatically adds a 22% gratuity to the bill, which is a lot, but I think it was well deserved this time. Would definitely come again!

A friend of mine has suggested this place several times. Finally happened to be in the area where it worked out for us to go. They didn't have any reservations available at the time that we showed up so we got a table at the bar. Happy hour from 4 to 6. From the happy hour menu, we ordered the focaccia, the salumi board, Casio Pepe, and the bucatini amatriciana. You cannot beat the fresh pasta by far away one of the best meals I've had in a very long time.
