Tula Bene Pastaria & Chophouse

Closed due to covid (staffing issues blamed) for years. And, it hasn't reopened so far to date in January of 2024! Was very good when it was an active option.

Went here for my daughter's 20th birthday. She loves cheese and pasta and this place is known for this dish that they make at your table in a big cheese bowl. Pretty fun to watch.We stuck with pasta because the steaks were just too expensive. I'm not going to pay 40+ bucks for a ribeye. My lobster ravioli was OK, in fact all of the food was OK. Not great, but all was overpriced.I have to say though that the staff and service was exceptional. They got high marks from me on that. Now if they could just lower the price a bit I might be back. But, being inside a casino, I get it. You can draw the crowd because it's right there. They are only open Thursday - Sunday so I'm sure they are packed on the weekends.

The service here is real good. I ordered Spaghetti and Meatballs and what a disappointment. The meatball was huge and that is alright but it taste like just bland ground beef and the spaghetti was bland. I ask for more Parmesan cheese which most Italian restaurants they will grind it over your food instead she gives me a small container of Parmesan cheese then I needed salt so they had to bring out two small salt and pepper shakers so I could season my food for the price we paid it was disappointing I've had better spaghetti at spaghetti factory the ambience is nice and the wine was good Don't waste your money Ps. Risotto was good

A few friends and I came here for my 22nd birthday and we had a great experience. Chris was our waiter, and we adored him. He was full of knowledge From the wine to the food to the glass piece in the ceiling. Speaking of food, it was all amazing. We ordered quite a few dishes and shared them so it was an experience. Firstly, our waiter made jokes about the bread amd how he needed a 12 step program for it, we laughed. But oh my goodness it was amazing. Something similar to a crissaunt pastry rolled like a cinnamon roll with olive tapenade and extra bits on top. It was amazing and I need to come back for more. The pasta in the dishes had the best texture to it and we could see the guys making it from where we were seated. I felt like some things had a strong wine flavor to them but overall still good.

We have gone to this place 2 times. This is located inside the Tulalip casino.. This place is flat out awsome, the drinks, wine, food, staff and ambiance is very great and classy. This place is not cheap but very worth it. We will be back !!!!
