Sages Restaurant: Experience the Best Gluten-Free Italian Dining in Redmond

I recently celebrated my wedding anniversary at an enchanting Italian restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere, adorned with rustic decor and soft, romantic lighting. The service was impeccable. Our waiter was attentive. We began ordering a bottle of wine and started with the special butternut squash soup that was so rich and creamy, a Caesar Salad and their signature Spicy Shrimp Tower. For the main course, I indulged in the “Wife’s Favorite” dish with penne, cremini mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes with garlic and basil in their signature pink sauce layered with chicken on top. My wife enjoyed the special of the evening which was halibut with carrots, asparagus and mashed potatoes. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with authentic Italian flavors. Overall, for the second time, this restaurant delivered an exceptional dining experience that celebrated both our love and the rich traditions of Italian cuisine. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to create lasting memories over a beautifully crafted meal.

Sages had been in my to-go Italian place for a long time now. Finally got a chance to try the place out and I was not disappointed. Although it was a weekend evening, the place was pretty crowded. Luckily I didn't have to wait for too long and was seated under 10 minutes. The Lobster Ravioli was amazing. The same can be said about the "wife's special" which was basically a Pasta served with pink sauce with sundried tomatoes and grilled chicken breasts. Overall top notch dining experience. The ambience doesn't really stand out but the flavor and food does.

I would rate Sage’s around 3.5 to 4 stars. The food was genuinely very good. I ordered the lemon herb chicken, which I really enjoyed. My husband and I were dining with friends, and they ordered the seafood spaghetti, which was also excellent. For appetizers, we had the shrimp (prawn) tower and burrata with tomatoes, all of which were well prepared and tasty. One thing to note is that the restaurant does not offer cocktails. They only serve wine and beer. I was hoping for a gin and tonic, but since that wasn’t available, I opted for sparkling water instead. The reason I’m not giving a higher rating is the service experience. While the server was polite and courteous, the interaction felt quite overwhelming. We had met our friends after a long time and were catching up, and although we were still browsing the menu, the server came to our table multiple times about five times asking us to place the order, which felt rushed. Even after we ordered, he kept returning frequently to ask how everything was, repeatedly interrupting our conversation. I understand this may be part of the restaurant’s service protocol, and I’m intentionally not naming the server, as this may not have been his personal choice. However, the constant interruptions became distracting and a bit irritating by the end of the meal. A slightly more relaxed and spaced-out approach to service would have made the experience much more enjoyable.

We've wanted to try this restaurant for some time. Last night we were in town, so we had our chance. There were no kids, and the atmosphere was quiet, which made for a nice date. The menu offered both traditional and unique selections. There was also a dedicated gluten-free menu with a substantial list of choices. We tried a couple of reds by the glass and were happy with their recommendations. If this all sounds like the experience you want, definitely give Sages a try.

Had dinner on a Saturday. Solid, though unremarkable. FOOD: 4.0. Solid - 3.5: Buratta Cheese appetizer. A bit too much vinegar for me. Toast was excellent. - 4.5: Butternut Squash soup. Very nice. - 4.0: "Sages Homemade Gnocchi". Very good, but not as good as I remember. - 4.0: Creme Brulee. Typical cold-creme brulee served in a cup with a a few fresh berries and a sprig of mint. SERVICE: 4.0. Attentive, prompt, and well-coordinated among the staff. The glass of Montepulciano wine tasted dull; when I asked if the bottle was opened that evening, he replied that it had been opened the previous day and offered another glass. I should have accepted his offer, but didn't. AMBIANCE: 4.0. Nicely done interior, appropriate for groups and intimate dinners.

I like to think of Sages as one of the last real restaurants in Redmond. A place to enjoy great wine and food peacefully. Back here again for our anniversary. Superb food and service. Tonight we tried the Barts Special Chicken and the Gorgonzola Chicken. I was trying to look for flaws, but failed. It was perfect.

Sages in Redmond is easily one of the best Italian places I’ve tried in the area. The pastas are excellent, and the pink sauce is amazing and full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and well cooked, and the portions were satisfying. The service was great, and the staff was really accommodating and friendly, which made the experience even better. The place has a nice, calm vibe that’s good for a relaxed meal. Overall, it’s a solid spot for Italian food, and I’d definitely come back again without thinking twice.

This place is absolutely stunning — the atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the service is truly exceptional. I ordered the lobster ravioli, and I was genuinely impressed. So often, dishes like this can be a letdown, with barely any lobster in the filling. But here, they went above and beyond — the ravioli was generously packed, and there were even extra pieces of lobster served on the side. It was a refreshing surprise, and it really shows the care they put into their food. I wholeheartedly recommend this place — a solid 10/10 experience.
