The food at Andante is exceptional. Hubby had their special smoked steelhead pasta and I their Tuscan seafood stew... Magnifico! Their desserts are worth EVERY calorie and Cindy our server was fabulous. One of the finer meals we've had. Highly recommend.

I visited this place for dinner while traveling for work. To start off, it is pretty difficult to go wrong with a restaurant like this. I walked in without a reservation and was seated promptly, even though it seemed like they had several reservations that evening. The service was top-notch throughout the evening, making for a very pleasant experience. The food was very good. Probably not the absolute best Italian food I've ever had, but still great. The atmosphere is very enjoyable as well. This is a small dining area with maybe 15 tables or so. As such it is cozy but refined. Very attractive decor and ambience. However, to reiterate, the thing that made this an excellent dining experience was the service--best I've had in Chelan. Highly recommend this place for a good, upscale Italian dinner.

We were able to snag a table late, and the whole feeling of the place was so unexpected in Chelan. I felt underdressed but most people were casually attired so no biggie. Our server was attentive and friendly. Drinks came fast and the food was not far beyond. Chicken piccata, the caper sauce was so tasty, and the shrimp with prosciutto pasta was smooth and dreamy. Go on in and relax amidst the frantic feeling of Chelan.

Went there for our anniversary. Cute little restaurant. We didn't have reservations, but the server was very nice and managed to squeeze us in. The place was small, so I definitely would make reservations ahead of time. We had the chicken fettuccine alfredo, which was delicious!! The sauce wasn't too heavy, and the chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly! And the ceasar salad was really fresh and light. Had the lava cake for desert. Amazing food for the price, and I would definitely go back again.

The place was beautifully decorated for the holidays! Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food was beyond amazing! I got the baked pasta, and my wife got the prosciutto and prawn pasta.

The wife had meatloaf and I had salmon and we shared back and forth, both had fresh asparagus and Alfredo it was very good. We had gone to Winter fest is what brought us there.

Quaint Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown. Attentive service combined with classy, romantic ambiance make Andante a must visit anytime you're in Chelan. Dripping wax candlesticks, decorative bicycles, and soft lighting add to the charm of this place. Free parking out front.

Great wine, great food, and great atmosphere. Excellent staff. This is our go to place for a nice quiet dinner. They have a full bar - which is really nice! It's always best to make a reservation.
