I first visited Tutta Bella on a recommendation by a Seattle friend. I found a clean and family friendly place with a casual atmosphere - I swear they had enough booster seats for half the restaurant.
The pizza crust is light and crisp, the Tiramisu some of the best I've ever tasted and they even give you a seltzer chaser with your espresso. How much better can it get?
These days, my out of town friends insist on dining there whenever they come in.
I would rate it 9 out of 10 or 4.5 out of 5. The only minus being the uncomfortable chairs and the tables being a little small for a crowd. That being said, I'll tolerate a little discomfort for the great food.

Who knew that pizza crust could melt in your mouth? We went to Tutta Bella's Greenlake location after being driven North by an over-run Fremont area.
We started by sharing the enormous Insalata di Napoli (you know, to keep it close to the whole Naples theme - and I have a weakness for salame). It was delicious and dressed with the perfect amount of oil and vinegar - no smothering of the fresh ingredients.
We tried two different wines by the glass, the Zenato Valpolicella and the Montesole Aglianico. According to the order in which the server said she brought them, we decided we liked the Zenato better. When we ordered another round, however, it was clear that the wines were mis-identified at the start. Also, there was a ring of residue (detergent? crystals from the wine (doubtful)) in the bottom of my hubby's glass, and the server did nothing but shrug and take the glass away. what the?!? Next time I'll ask that they bring the bottles so I know what I'm drinking and can take notes to better learn about Italian wines.
About 20 min later, the Campania pizza arrived. the dough was blackened and blistered, but there was no charry flavor to it at all, and the dough dupporting the toppings literally melted away on my tongue. How do they do that?!

The pizza at Tutta Bella was definitely good, but i think i prefer Via Tribunalis. I like the sauce and the ingredients seem a little bit fresher or better.
However, Tutta Bella is less fancy and a less expensive and has an awesome Tiramisu - plus you get free coffee or espresso with dessert. I also think the staff is friendlier at Tutta Bella than VT.

What a fun and family-friendly pizza place. This pizza is different-a fun change from our regular Pagliacci (which I do love!) and all the hub-bub makes for great entertainment for the kids. Yummy salads, and the pizzas seem fresh and even somewhat healthy. PLenty of food and reasonable prices. Take a date (if you don't mind kids running around!) or if you are past the dating scene and have some wee ones, for sure, take the family!

I love everything about Tutta Bella. They have a great environmental plan. They buy good ingredients. They make a good product. They really are a good company. If you want to buy a good product and support an ethical company, get your Neapolitan pizza here. They have a terrific Tiramisu.

I love the pizzas here! The crust is thin and the taste is light and flavorful. They also have great salad as well. My favorite is the Napolean salad, it has salami, lettuce, and garbanzo beans.

Sometimes it's nice to go for a thicker crust pizza like at Pegasus Pizza on Alki Beach -- but for thin crust, authentic Italian-style pie, this place is great. The atmosphere is good. The servers are always nice. They can figure out seating for largish groups. The bathrooms are even nice. To finish off your meal, try the made-in-house gelato. They even have Nutella flavored stuff.

My husband and I have tried a lot of gourmet pizza places both here and in Boston, MA. Emma's of Cambridge, MA was at the top of our list until we tried Tutta Bella in our neighborhood, Columbia City. We do a lot of take out because the place is always packed. When we do stay to eat, the service is fast and friendly. And who can beat the price? While we are happy they are opening another place on Stone Way, we hope that the north side of Seattle will continue to visit the original place down in the heart of the Rainier Valley.

I can honestly say that this is my favorite overall restaurant in Seattle. It's a combination of food, good people and lively atomosphere. When something doesn't go as planned, they make it right.
The owner is always accessible and makes himself a part of the experience. The wait can be long sometimes, but you can often call before you leave and get your name on the list (shh! I don't think this is a standard practice!)

This is the best place to get as authentic as you can get Itallian pizza. I highly reccomend it if you enjoy flavorfull pizza and salads unlike the plain greasy chain pizzas i.e. pizza hut or dominos. Not to mention it is fairly cheap. Very Highly reccomended.
