Best Italian Restaurants in Tacoma

What a special place and special meal. My wife have been trying to dine here for over 25 years and we finally made it happen. We knew it was going to be a great night when we were seated at one of the widow seats. Didn't know that space had been added. We absolutely loved our waiter Patrick; we was spectacular in every way. Solid wine list at reasonable prices. Loved the Barbera d' Asti from northern Italy The local Washington oysters were a treat. Arancini (3) were hot and delish. Went for the classic Pink Door lasagna (I never order Lasagna in restaurants - Costco lasagna has ruined me forever on the dish!) However I loved this version - such subtle flavors. My wife had the pappardelle (she makes a number of great PD dishes) and she loved what she ordered. Ended the evening with the sticky toffee dessert which also was rich and memorable! It's clear the Pink Door know its lane and everything works. Every thing we ate was memorable and we can't wait to return and try what we didn't have a chance to enjoy. We flew up from Sacramento to see Beethoven's 7th at the Seattle Symphony. Thanks for your part in making our trip more than we ever could have hoped for.

Daniel did a great job serving us. The restaurant was about half filled when we sat down. It was full before we left. Seating is pretty cozy so that's my only knock, but conversations were not strained or anything so we were easily able to converse. Started off with a carafe of the house white (pinot grigio) which was quite good. I ordered the special Sacchetti. It was AMAZING! It's like a puffy ravioli. It's got 2-3 times as much filling as your standard ravioli. This version had a mushroom filling, almost like a pate. It had a crunchy something sprinkled over the top. Forget what it was. :( My wife had their lasagna. Huge portion and oh so good! Easily twice as much food as the sacchetti dish, but the sacchetti was special. Finished with an eggnog creme brulee. A little heavier tasting than regular creme brulee but still very good.

We beat the crowds by eating early dinner. The service Amber provide was excellent and the pizza we ordered was great.

Opentable needs to update the location of the restaurant. It cannot be that hard to fix.

This was our first time at Copper & Salt and we were not disappointed. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the views were amazing. We ordered the focaccia bread with cajun butter and fresh mozzarella as a starter and it was delectable. We ordered the daily special, cowboy steak and veggies which was enough for both of us and was so delicious. You could cut the meat with a fork it was so tender! We will definitely be back!
