Who we are

At Sansonina, our passion for authentic Italian cuisine is the culmination of decades of experience. Our Chef and General Manager bring over 35 and 20 years respectively in the Italian restaurant industry, while the rest of our dedicated team has been sharing their expertise for at least 9 years. Together, we are united by a love for genuine Italian flavors and heartfelt hospitality, complemented by our extensive and carefully curated wine selection.

Sansonina Ristorante Italiano was established on February 28, 2019, with a vision to bring a true taste of Italy to Renton, Washington. Located in a reimagined space – a former Pizza Hut building off bustling Rainier Avenue – we've created a warm and inviting atmosphere where the focus is on exceptional food, genuine connection, and the perfect wine pairing.

Step inside Sansonina and be transported by the enticing aromas and authentic recipes that define Italian cooking. We are committed to using high-quality ingredients to craft dishes that evoke the feeling of dining in Italy. To enhance your culinary journey, our extensive wine list features a thoughtful selection of Italian and international vintages, chosen to complement our menu and elevate your dining experience. Our knowledgeable team is on hand to assist you in finding the perfect bottle.

More than just a restaurant, Sansonina is a labor of love, built on a foundation of culinary passion and a desire to share the joy of Italian culture, complete with the perfect glass of wine. We are proud to be a part of the Renton community and look forward to welcoming you for a truly Italian dining experience.
