Benvenuti!

Welcome to the website of the Italian Club of Seattle! We invite you to explore our site to learn the history of this great organization, to read about the many activities in which you can participate, and to see how you and your family can become members.


The Italian Club has been in existence for almost ninety years. When it was originally founded, it was an organization of Italian immigrants, primarily in the professions, who wanted to network and do business together. More >>

Today, the Italian Club welcomes members of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds. All that is required is a desire to socialize with folks who have an interest in "things Italian," i.e., Italian food, Italian wine, Italian music, art and culture. Many of our members are 3rd and 4th generation immigrants from all over the United States and they bring a diverse collection of Italian-American experiences to the organization. More >>

The Italian Club meets at the St. Joseph's School Auditorium on the second Thursday of each month. Prior to the meeting, there is a delicious buffet supper - with wine for adults - at the nominal price of $5 per person. The Club also presents a monthly businessperson's luncheon with outstanding guest speakers at the Rock Salt Restaurant on Lake Union on the third Wednesday of each month. Price including tax and gratuity is $18. More >>

The Italian Club host an entire year of activities for all age groups, everything from a Golf Tournament and a Day at Emerald Downs to Halloween & Christmas parties for the children of members. More >>

A newsletter, "il Ficcanaso" is published monthly and mailed to each member household. It tracks the official business of the Italian Club, the social activities and other items of interest to the members. It is also available in color online. More>>
