From the OpenTable editors: Executive chef Stuart Lane brings the rich culinary traditions of Piedmont to Seattle's Capitol Hill at Spinasse. The star of the show is the tajarin, a hand-cut egg yolk pasta tossed simply with cultured butter and sage. It pairs beautifully with a classic Italian cocktail or a glass of Nebbiolo from the extensive regional wine list. Settle into the bustling dining room at a reclaimed wood table or claim a seat at the white marble bar. It remains one of the best spots in the city for Northern Italian fare.
