Best Dining Bars in Mercer Island

The new location is much bigger and more upscale than when the restaurant was above the Whole Foods on Westlake. Service was a bit slow to arrive, but friendly and professional when we connected with the server. Calamari was perfect -- highly recommended, as was the Sangiovese. I ordered a substitution of prosciutto for the nduja on the Tropea pizza. Kitchen missed this, but server brought out a side dish of prosciutto to complete the order.

First time going to Tutta Bella. We were at the Wallingford location. The parking lot is small, so be prepared to park on the street. We had a reservation for 5 people and arrived 10 minutes early. They had our table set and ready for us. When first walking in we first noticed amazing smells. The staff were courteous and sat us immediately. The decor and ambiance is urban casual. Noise level is moderate. We had drinks and appetizers which we all liked. The menu is limited to some salads, pizza and pasta dishes. My wife and I each had a pasta dish which was very good. My son and daughter each had pizza which had a good crust and the flavors were quite good. We will go there again when in the area. Wish they would open up a location where we live in Bellingham.

Food, staff, atmosphere, and craft cocktails were top-notch! Normally, a place hits high in one or two areas but Kro Bar knocked it out of the park across the board! Definitely found my new favorite joint!~

We have been coming here for since the year it opened, and are disappointed that the quality of the food and service has slipped slightly but steadily over time. The wait staff and bar service are all very polite, but not as accomplished and knowledgeable as we’ve had. The pizzas have become too wet, and the crusts now a wee soggy, even with no extra toppings. They seem underbaked; the crust no longer has any crunch with minimal or no brown on the bottom. This is still our favorite pizza in the area, but now only barely so. We hold out hope that things will improve for Tutta Bella, and all of us, in 2025.

We always love tutta Bella! The Roberto pizza is the reason we keep coming back for more!
