Tra Due Leoni

Had an amazing night enjoying Italian wine and cheese. The owners are the last of a dying breed who really care about the hospitality experience. Small intimate shop, unique for seattle.

The first time I went to Tra Due Leoni, Robert opened the wine bar early just to accommodate my particular reservation request. The next time I went to Tra Due Leoni, Robert and Josie closed late to accommodate my very late arrival on my way home from another nearby place. Both times, my friend and I were treated to amazing wine, the perfect bite of cheese and bread and the most wonderful hospitality. Go there for the wine. Go there for the cheese. Go there for the bread. Go there for the food. Go there for an education shared by people who are passionate about what they do and what they know. Go there for a most excellent experience. And then, keep going back. Your palate will thank you and your heart will be warmed, time and time again.

Josie and Rob are the best. We ducked into what we thought was an entry way of a large building so I could grab car keys out of my purse in the pouring rain.... We saw the sign on the door while I was looking through my purse and they invited us right in! Due to open soon, this splotch of Italy will be a HUGE hit in Seattle. Can't wait to visit again!

We stumbled upon this place by accident and it was truly one of our favorite stops of the trip! This tiny wine bar seats maybe only 16 people but is full of charm, kind employees, and delicious Italian wines. Mattia was wonderful and let us sample multiple delicious varietals, served with a tiny sample of fresh bread. We also got to meet the owners who were very friendly!! They serve charcuterie and cheese options to pair with your vino as well, and if you find a bottle you love, they sell bottles to go too! It was a nice break from the regional wines in other local tasting rooms-- if you're a wine fan, looking for a cute pre or post dinner drink, or a good date spot, definitely make sure to stop in!

Can't speak for the restaurant as I live on the East Coast. Their customer service for online orders is pathetic. I ordered a case of wine for which they charged my credit card and sent an order confirmation. A month later I'd heard nothing. Calls and texts went unanswered. I finally opened a dispute with Chase to reverse the charge. Still nothing from them about the problem.

I write this conflicted. Part of me doesn't want to "let the cat out of the bag". That said, this place is as good as it gets.We stopped in for a glass of wine before a dinner reservation and didn't want to leave. Rob is the best and made the experience (along with the fantastic wine and food)! He also ruined our dinner because you couldn't top the wine and food we got here.Wine, food, service, ambiance... A+

This place has been on our radar for a few weeks and we finally checked it out last week. We've been searching for an Italian wine bar this may just be one of the best wine bars in the city. As we were walking in, we immediately felt welcomed by the host and owner. My friends and I are wine drinkers but very much beginners to Italian wine so it was nice that they educated us on each of the bottles as well as region and background of the wines they were serving. The bread and cheese pairing was phenomenal along with the house focaccia, all made from scratch by the owner himself. We will definitely be coming back and hopefully try the pizza and risotto!

Where to start? My husband and I spent our anniversary in Seattle and this place made the experience!A cute boutique wine bar right by Pike Place. We stopped in for a glass of wine and didn't want to leave.Rob is as good as it gets! Not only did he help us select a fantastic Italian wine (glass turned into a bottle) but he educated us on it and made us feel at home. We ended up sampling the menu and had a fantastic time!Ironically, we have a trip to Italy lined up in a couple of months and Rob detailed a couple of local places for our visit. If I could give 6 stars I would!

The wine, costumer service, and location were beyond exceptional! We ran into Due Leoni on our way to the Dillon and I'm so glad that we did. I love a good wine bar, and this one was seriously a welcoming and charming environment. We'll be back!

Want the coziest, friendliest wine bar? The people here are the most gracious people. Wine list is pretty decent and food was tasty. Stop by before they get too busy!
