The Best Restaurant in Washington Wine Country, Washington

Background Illustration for Restaurants

National fast-food chains, local eateries, and some fine-dining restaurants can be found scattered throughout the region, or sometimes right alongside one another. As a huge agricultural area, the Yakima Valley supplies many of its local restaurants with fresh fruits and vegetables in season. Yakima Valley wines are a staple at virtually all the fine-dining establishments. Pacific Northwest seafood (particularly salmon) is another staple of the region. South-central Washington also has a fair share of Mexican food, from taco wagons to fine Mexican restaurants.

Gasperetti's

$$$

A beloved destination for hearty red-sauce Italian fare since 1966, elegant Gasperetti's sits like a diamond amid the uninspired strip malls north of downtown, doling out pasta, meat, and seafood entrées accented with locally grown produce—think filet mignon with gorgonzola-pecan sauce, and rigatoni with pesto Genovese. The cellar stocks an excellent selection of wines, with a decidedly Italian lean. For a more casual experience, sit in the G-Spot Bar. When the weather's nice, the intimate patio exudes charm.
