About

Located at 1531 14th Ave in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, Spinasse has established itself as a destination for those seeking an authentic Northern Italian dining experience. The restaurant is widely recognized for its dedication to handmade pasta, with the tajarin con burro e salvia frequently cited by patrons as a standout dish. The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy and intimate, offering a setting where guests can often observe the craft of pasta-making firsthand. With a solid 4.5-star rating from over 1,600 reviews, the establishment is noted for its warm, attentive service and a menu that balances traditional flavors with seasonal variety. Because the restaurant is a popular choice for both special occasions and casual dinners, securing a reservation well in advance is highly recommended, as walk-in availability can be limited.

Whether guests are enjoying a selection of starters like the antipasto misto or lingering over a hearty ragu, the focus remains on high-quality ingredients and a hospitable, family-style approach to dining.
