Lombardi’s Cucina

I use to go to the Lombardi’s in Downtown Everett years ago, I am so happy them moved it by the water. The place us beautiful and has a great view, it’s elegant and the servers are great. Our waiter Justinn was very friendly as well and the general manager Brett, I accidentally ordered my food incorrectly and they insisted on making a new dish. I loved what I got, they used the same sauce they cooked the shrimp in, perfect amount of sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. I want to come back again!

Here eating now… Had res at 8. sat 8:07…not bad but hostesses seemed lost and not very welcoming for this to be an italian reataurant and italians fame themselves on their over the top hospitality. Server took 10 mins to even greet us and our wine took 10 more minutes… we ordered fast as we didnt see our server much… recvd our food at 9:15.rack of lamb and ratattouli with chicken. The lamb was cooked well done… what a shame as it really had a nice flavor. I don’t suggest the ratattouli. Well they offered me dessert for my lamb that i didnt get to eat i declined and then after literally 15 more min the server came out and said the mgr would take it off the check… really thanks. He did admit that he was new and didnt know their protocol… but my overall impression is that this is a kool place to hang out for drinks but a serious dinner this is not the spot. The prices for food are reasonable but the wine prices are off the chart.

The worst food I haven’t on long time so bad puttanesca pappardelle plain no seasoning

Of the restaurants near the marina, this is my favorite. The waitstaff are really friendly and attentive. I had the same waiter twice and he remembered my friends and me. The food was really good. If you haven’t been here, you might want to give it a try.

Sat outside and had almost all the happy hour menu items with a large group. Food was good.

Go there for the view.
I think their cook is a «chef» at WholeFoods. I could not taste a difference.

Amazing food on lovely patio with fun professional staff and incredible menu! The ribs are a famous item but the entrees are equally exceptional and well prepared.
Thank you, Lombardis, for great gals night, family dinner, and summer music venue! Love it!

Love the atmosphere and the garlic bread! Num num num!

PROS: Nice location. We were near starving not finding many places to choose from in Everette and finally found this on our GPS. It was in the evening, so we couldn’t see much of a view but on the whole the restaurant has a casual decent ambience.
Cons: My husbands meal of Chicken Parm looked like it was pre formed circles of breaded chicken and tasteless. It came with an equally unappealing flavorless side of pasta. The vegeys were the only thing that tasted right.
My choice was the Chicken Marsala. Very basic — the flavor was OK, nothing spectacular but it was better than my husbands food and the portion a bit more generous so he helped me eat mine. Along with that I had also ordered a salad — very spare and almost non existent dressing in it.
The prices were a bit up there for what you get (right around $ 16.00 a plate) and when you order Chicken Parm — for the love of pete make it authentic in taste, size and shape… We felt slightly ripped off and definitely would not go back. We seemed to detect an annoyed pretentiousness from the server when we asked for a second bread basket.
When you are hungry, if the food is good you walk away feeling plenty satisfied no matter the price. We would have ordered dessert (as we saw others doing) but by then the vibe just wasn’t there. Our hearts weren’t into it. I’m surprised that this place has gotten so many high marks and maybe it was just an off night when we went.

Great location and service with good Italian food. Portions are not huge, but I often fill up with the fresh bread served with roasted garlic on the side before every meal. One of our local favorites for a «date night» outing.

What a wonderful experience!!! The weather in Everett was sunny and beautiful so sitting inside was not an option. We decided to sit outside in the patio overlooking the marina. It was sooo relaxing sipping my wine, enjoying the view, and having a wonderful conversation.
Started off the meal with the Calamari Fritti and the Tuscan Prawns. The prawns were too die for! I couldn’t get enough of these sauteed garlic prawns with white wine, lemon, tomatoes, and cannellini beans. I’ve mentioned before that I am not a big seafood person, but this could make me a convert. The calamari was crispy and tasty — I definitely had no complaints.
Ahh, the Chicken Marsala, the delightful Chicken Marsala. When the server first placed this dish in front of me I noticed the huge portion size and thought that there would be no way for me to eat the entire dish. Well, that was what I thought until I took a bite. I left that plate empty (and probably gained two jean sizes in the process). The chicken was really tender and it just soaked up the wonderfully rich sauce. Add the garlic butter fettucine and trust me, you can’t stop eating until it’s all gone!!!
If that wasn’t enough I sampled the chocolate mousse, a rhubarb apple dessert, and cheesecake. I had so much sugar rushing through my body after dessert, but it was well worth it. My mouth is watering just thinking about all the yumminess.
The staff is friendly and accomodating.
This really was a fun dinner!!!
And the best part, you can walk out along the marina to attempt to burn the massive amount of calories that you just ate. :)

I went here with a group of friends recently and loved it, the food was amazing! I had the smoked salmon ravioli (yum!), my table shared the crab cake appetizers (the best crab cakes I have had!), and a sampling of the desserts (seriously, get the rhubarb apple crisp!).
The service was really great, the view is gorgeous, and the restaurant is cute and comfortable. I would definitely go back!

I’m giving happy hour in the bar 4 stars but the food 2 stars — MAYBE 3. My hubby and I came here Saturday for happy hour and sat right down at 2 open seats in the bar. The bartender was super nice and attentive, as were all the workers that day. I was pleased to find a huge happy hour menu with fabulous deals. I ordered the salmon and mashed potatoes while the hub got spaghetti w/​meatballs and a chicken Cesar salad (all under $ 10 each!). Well… my salmon was hot pink in color and totally disgusting. The bartender noticed that I hardly touched my food and agreed with me that the salmon was not cooked right. She promptly made me a Cesar salad instead, and didn’t charge me. What a gal!
The atmosphere was light and carefree and everyone in the place seemed to be enjoying themselves. The weather was gorgeous and it made me anxious for the day when Lombardi’s opens their back patio and we can enjoy some cocktails out in the sunshine!

After a very disappointing attempt to dine at the Woodfire Grill, we opted to try Lombardis.
I’m a huge fan!
We were immediately seated, but that was due to a few tables just opening up as we were walking in. Our server greeted us with a wine list. The Cabernet was delicious. The bread and oil for dipping was a great touch. We decided to do the 2 Caprese Sampler. The baked Lasagna and Chicken Solombocca (spelling) was to die for! Topped with a Tiramisu… wow.
There wasn’t a moment where my better half’s wine glass was empty (I was DD). The server was very prompt in ensuring everything was to our liking.
The ambiance is really nice. Perfect for a simple night on the town. Definitely one of the best fine dining restaurants in Everett.
There is nothing I would change about anything.

Still looking for a fancier «fresh Pacific NW» restaurant (request from an out of town friend) that’s worth the price in the Everett area… and… still looking. It’s sad when you ask the owner at awesome longtime local seafood shop, Waterfront Fish Market, and realiz your best bet for a really good seafood meal you don’t feel at least slightly ripped off for, is to cook it yourself.

Devil’s in the Details
Nice airy open atmosphere and it’s hard to beat a marina view, still clearly appreciated from comfy non-​window booths.
Most of our meal came from the «Seasonal Fresh Sheet»…
*roast garlic & bread, complimentary: whole head of roast garlic was a nice surprise, nice tang to the sourdough though the texture woefully short of the classic spongy
*winter pear salad: interesting, a little sweet on the dressing but I like my salads & vinaigrettes very tart and in retrospect would rather have a crunchy pear or apple than poached on salad)
*chicken caesar: flat dressing… needed anchovy, Majestic and surprisingly, Buzz Inn make a much zippier dressing
*wild salmon with smashed garlic mashed potatoes and zucchini: salmon was tasty though a bit of a cross between the smoked salmon from a pouch and grilled, very heavy on the olive oil, garlic mash potatoes were barely warm and nothing special and the zucchini was grossly over-​seasoned in both herbs and black pepper (a rare complaint from me)
*wine: bottle of Pinot Noir Plowbusters from Carabella, OR, food friendly, a bit sweet, but nothing to write home about. Next time would try a glass off the more affordable regular wine menu
*honey pine nut & pecan tart with vanilla gelato: nice, pine nuts are in interesting touch though the crust was not at all flaky, and the gelato tasted like caramel not vanilla
The bill? Not hideous but for only so-​so quality food, at about $ 30 – 40 less for for the 3 of us would be more inclined to come back before continuing to explore other options.

Out of all the nice restaurant in the Everett marina, this is by far the best one. The food was good and the service was fast and attentive.
For appetizers, we start our meal with the fried calamari, the steak skewer with balsamic reduction and a simple Cesar salad. The fried Calamari was the best out of all three. it was cook perfectly and the kind of calamari that they use were the big chunky one not the ring kind like many other place do.
We’ re totally pig out with our entrées, «family style» is our keyword when going out for Italian and Asian food. We ordered, Garlic shrimp pizza, dungeness crab and Italian sausage pasta, scampi shrimp pasta, spaghetti with meat balls and garlic bread.
We also order a couple of desserts to share, a warm cranberry and apple tart topped with vanilla gelato and Italian custard with berries sauce, both were amazing. Yum
Dinner for three pigs = four appetizers, four entrées, two desserts, three cocktails, three glasses of wine, one small bottle of sparkling wine plus tips = $ 200
*** do not try to eat as much as we do, you can not go to sleep after a big meal like this. I have to stay up till 7 am to go to bed. FML

Prettty good Italian food, not like little Italy in SF but still tasty!
I would return if I was craving Italian while in the area. I hear happy hour is a good time to go, or for the early bird dinner special thing.
Pizza was okay, but the crust was a little too thin. It was like a cracker, and I’ve had «napoletana» style pizza before and it was a little different.

Service = Decent
Ambiance = Real nice, much needed in the area
Food = As expected, classic dishes
Price = reasonable
Crowd = good mix
Personal favorite = Much need atmosphere up here!
Worst = played out
Meal for two = 60
Final Say = Mediocre for those mediocre days

Went for happy hour while waiting ferry. Great happy hour menu (the Angellica del morte was awesome (for once more cheese than bread) the drinks were good. So good we are looking the ones up here down in civilization (Seattle).
For sure will hit it next time we go up for the ferry.

We use to frequent the Ballard location when we lived near Greenlake, but the trip down to Ballard isn’t as easy with traffic from Shoreline as it used to so it’s been a while since we’ve visited.
The Everett location is a wonderful spot for a nicer upscale dinner, check the website and menu for prices. Consider this you are on the water, well at the marina with a beautiful view, plenty of parking and the food is good, so you are paying for it. Tends to lean toward serving the Yuppie-​ish crowd with all the Martinis and such in my opinion but the food was enjoyable, the kitchen has it’s ups and downs speed-​wise, so don’t expect a «quick» bite to eat.
They were run by a husband and wife team back in the day, not sure if they still are, with only 3 locations I’d say they are. Sadly our last visit to the Ballard location was less than desirable, but that’s not to say this location is bad. Having visited this location about 4 times each time the food has been good, just a bit slow coming from the kitchen. Servers were okay, and tried to make us happy with the slow kitchen.
Price-​wise I might save this place for a romantic dinner, but they can handle larger parties with no problem. Why 3 stars? Flavors were good, once we got our food. The dining room set up is cheery and has a wonderful location/​view, during the daylight hours. A nice after dinner stroll along the marina is a nice way to end your meal.
