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.

    We visited from Las Vegas, a place where high-end restaurants like this are typically staffed with the gold standard for good service. That being said, we still managed to be blown away by the quality of service at Spinasse, and their sister bar! Every server was kind, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and off-menu specials. This is not even mentioning the phenomenal food at an incredible price point. I’m writing this review two days later and my wife is still talking about it. Spinasse is a must!

    As always, it was a very nice evening at Spinasse. Our server was excellent and had really great conversation about the dishes with him. We did the whole tasting experience and boy, it was a lot of food. Every dish was very good and some were outstanding, especially the tajarin pasta with just butter and of course the epic tajarin with bolognese type sauce. It’s not cheap but we felt we still got a decent value for the money.

    I had waited months to go experience the Tajarin al ragu after seeing it on the Food network's top 10 noodle dishes. It exceeded my expectations in flavor and texture. Overall, we had a great time and will go back again. The customer service was great, and we felt well taken care of.

    What a fantastic dining experience! The pasta is unmatched. You can't go wrong with any dish on the menu. The service staff is accommodating from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you walk out. Yes, it's expensive, but it truly is worth every dollar!

    We have been going to Spinasse almost every time we make it back to Seattle since ~2010 - and this was the first time it was not great - and it wasn't just one thing. 1) If you are seated in the front, it is cold and noisy - or at least it was this time 2) 3 out of 3 pasta dishes were over cooked - and not by a little. The rabbit meatballs, in contrast, were perfect (the risotto was average). 3) Perhaps our server was just having a bad day, but he definitely had the air of not caring about us as guests All together, just super disappointing from one of our favorite restaurants.
