Andare Kitchen & Bar

Andare Kitchen & Bar is an all-day contemporary Italian restaurant and lounge on the ground floor of the Hyatt Regency Seattle at 808 Howell Street in downtown Seattle’s Denny Triangle neighborhood. Opened in late 2018 alongside the 1,260-room hotel—the largest hotel in the Pacific Northwest—the restaurant takes its name from the Italian verb meaning “to go” and pairs rustic Italian culinary traditions with Pacific Northwest produce, seafood, and meats. Travelers, convention attendees from the neighboring Seattle Convention Center Summit building, and theatergoers bound for the Paramount Theatre visit for blistered wood-fired pizzas, scratch-made pastas, and a comprehensive wine and cocktail program.

What to Expect at Andare Kitchen & Bar

Designed with soaring ceilings, warm wood accents, floor-to-ceiling street-facing windows along Howell and 8th Avenue, and an open exhibition kitchen centered around a wood-burning hearth, Andare transitions smoothly from an energetic morning breakfast room to an evening trattoria and cocktail bar. During morning service, guests choose between an expansive hot breakfast buffet and a-la-carte options such as wild mushroom frittatas, brioche French toast, and espresso drinks. By midday and evening, the focus shifts to artisanal pizzas with naturally leavened dough, house-extruded pastas, and classic Italian mains like braised meatballs, spicy chicken, and pan-seared Pacific Northwest salmon.

The central bar anchors the dining room with wrap-around counter seating, multiple flat-screen televisions for regional sports, and a spirits list emphasizing Italian amari, aperitivi, and Washington State and Italian wines by the glass or bottle. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diners are well accommodated with gluten-free pasta and pizza crust substitutions as well as plant-based starters. Current seasonal menus and dining updates are available on the official Hyatt Regency Seattle dining page.
