Sansonina Italiano - Renton

Boy! got to say I'm very impressed with this place. I was shocked how they did a phenomenal job redoing the Interior. It has a very nice and relaxing atmosphere. Friendly and excellent customer service. We love everything we ordered. We start with the steamer was perfectly cooked with full flavors, fresh, and a nice balance of the leeks. Wonderful leftover sauce for bread dipping. As for the entrees, we had Chicken Alfredo and Spaghetti Bolognese, both dishes were deliciously made and good portion. Have to say the dessert presentation was wild, fun, and tasty! I love the fact that they have a cute little bar area and they have a broad wine list! Taking my friends here next time. Highly recommended this place. Such a gem in Renton!

Food was excellent had the linguini di mare and the spinach salad. Flavors were good all the different seafood bits were cooked to perfection. Service was attentive and the place was very clean. Only negative was the noise level. Hard to hear my wife across the table.

Quiet dinner w my daughter before an evening flight from nearby SeaTac. Entire staff was very friendly and checked in on us routinely. Bread brought to our table 10 seconds after we were seated; would have been nicer to wait 2 mins and have it warm. When I asked for a small sample of a wine to determine if I wanted to order a glass, our server brought out 2 wines to taste so I’d have a comparison, which I appreciated. Both our pasta dishes were good. My daughter’s ravioli with a garlic/shallot/tarragon filling was unique and enjoyable, though a bit overly al denote. The sauce on my bolognese was quite good, though the pasta was a bit overcooked, Chocolate torte was good as well. Again, our server and other staff were all pleasant. Opera playing in the sparsely filled restaurant was too loud for our liking, but we also never asked if they could turn it down. While I’m pointing out some improvement opportunities, the meal was definitely enjoyable overall and we’d return.

This gem of an Italian restaurant is full of old world charm with attentive service that makes you feel like family. An extensive list of Italian wines is matched to an excellent selection of Italian specialties, pasta, seafood, and steak. Well worth multiple visits to try out everything on the menu!

Amazing food and service EVERY TIME! Each visit here has been nothing short of fantastic. All staff members are always so friendly and welcoming. The food and ambience are just perfect! I highly recommend this restaurant and I can tell it has become popular because it’s always packed. Definitely go early and make a reservation!
