Itto's Tapas

"Most of the tapas on Itto's menu are vegetarian, so you can build a mix-and-match meal of small plates like manchego croquettes, tortilla española, lima bean fritters, and eggplant-wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese. Add some glasses of wine, and you’ve got yourself a romantic date night out (even if you’re still wearing the leggings you did a spin class in)." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"With a predominantly gluten-free menu, this West Seattle tapas restaurant, influenced by Spanish and Moroccan cuisine, is an oasis for gluten-free tapas lovers. Start the meal with an intricate cocktail, like the Taza Throb with cardamom bitters, and move on to the plancha grilled beef tenderloin, a house favorite." - Eater Staff

"West Seattle’s Spanish and Moroccan tapas bar has been a longtime favorite in the neighborhood. The tapas here are both tasty and artful, such as the grilled squid with zucchinis and romesco sauce, lemon chicken, and lamb skewers. Itto’s also offers plenty of vegetarian options." - Meg van Huygen, Gabe Guarente, Harry Cheadle

"Tapas bars, like Itto’s, were created for this exact purpose. Their Moroccan small plates range from mini berbere lamb burgers to small skillets of seafood paella, and the Happy Hour specials make it one of our favorite spots for a great post-work snack. Plus, they have plenty of gluten-free options like squid steaks and potato cakes with harissa aioli." - aimee rizzo

"Itto’s is a small bar in West Seattle that serves good tapas and sangria. On weekends, they open at 2pm, which is ideal if you’d like to start drinking at 2pm. We like that it’s equal parts lively and romantic in here—there’s a front room that’s full of action, as well as a back area where you can share a tiny round table with a candle in the middle and look into each other’s eyes (or into the eyes of the prawn head in the seafood paella, whatever works). Don't miss the squid steak, rubbed with smoky spices and swimming in burst tomato." - Aimee Rizzo
