Rifugio's Country Italian Cuisine

Excellent food! Everything was so delicious and cooked perfectly. This isn’t a fast food restaurant and you may be waiting a bit for your food. But the wait is so worth it! Service was mostly good but we had to ask for knives with our meal and there weren’t enough menus so we had to share two among three people. For a restaurant of this quality I found that surprising.

We stumbled upon Rifugio while passing through the area and were intrigued by the idea of finding an Italian restaurant in such a location. Our decision to try it out turned into a delightful surprise! From the moment we stepped in, the warm welcome from our hostesses and chef set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. We indulged in a feast of flavors, starting with the delightful smoked salmon bruschetta. The wild cod with spinach sauce was a standout for me, perfectly complemented by the impeccably cooked scrambled egg. Each dish was a testament to the chef's skill and passion for culinary experimentation. To top off our meal, the zabaione dessert was a heavenly conclusion. Our conversation with the chef added an extra layer of enjoyment, hearing firsthand about his inspirations and culinary journey. Next time we find ourselves in the Mt Baker freeway area, there's no doubt we'll be back at Rifugio. It's a rare find where genuine hospitality meets exceptional Italian cuisine, creating an unforgettable dining experience.

Had a great visit at Rifugios! Looking forward to going back, especially for the delicious chicken parm

My wife and I just finished dinner at Rifugio's and it was fantastic. Family owned and operated restaurant that makes you feel at home with the cozy ambiance and delicious heart-warming food. We had the mushroom bruschetta to start, and then the bolognese lasagna and the sea scallops that were on special. Every bite was amazing. Strawberry tiramisu was perfect way to finish the meal. They also have a new airbnb onsite. 11/10
