We came for the 2 pastas and a wine bottle for $47 on a Monday evening. Starting with the bread, that was delicious and came with a great seasoned ricotta spread ($5). The appetizer offerings didn't pop for us. So we moved on to the pasta; the short rib francobolli with rosemary & parmigiano. It's essential mini raviolis and it's great. The sauce is awesome and the pastas itself is a real treat. There just isn't a lot of it. Artusi has a good business model w the bottle and pastas and the restaurant is cozy. Worth coming back for another Monday :). The person I ate with thought there was too much Parmesan, he's wrong. read more

Great experience dining here. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, as well a articulately designed. We made reservations just to be on the safe side, since Spinasse was all booked. The hostess was friendly and nice. She went over the specials and she sold us. We had the Burrata with snap peas and croutons + Burrata with snap peas and croutons as our appetizers. Two of us ordered the halibut ravioli, which was made to perfection. It was light to the palette, but flavorful and filling to the stomach. My boyfriend had the short rib and he enjoyed it very much (so good, I didn't get a chance to take a pic). Would love to come back and try other dishes! read more

This is a staple of pasta restaurants in Seattle. You know what you get, and what you get is good. Options are limited, which I think is nice. You don't come here to flip through a menu of a breadth of options, you come here for pasta. Sure, there are a few mains to select from too, but really - it's about the pasta. Did I mention they have great pasta? Staff is friendly and service is attentive and quick. On this particular evening I did not have a reservation, showed up and was told it would probably be around 30mins to get a table; was texted 15mins later and seated within a few minutes of stepping back through the door. Cocktail arrived 5mins after seating - happy place reached! Dishes come as they are prepared, there's no guarantee in order or timing but it usually works out well. Me and my company shared a started, and our pastas arrived within a minute of each other. The place is small. It's tight between tables, yet strangely intimate. You rarely get distracted by the conversations of the table next to you. The background noise can sometimes be a bit of a heavy blanket, and depending on your seating and time of your visit, you may have to lean in to hear your conversation without having to raise your voice, but in general it's around an average noise level for a busy restaurant. This is my "go to" when I'm in or around Capitol Hill and don't really know what I want but don't want to gamble on a new experience. read more

I had a great experience dining here. A friend was in town and we wanted to grab dinner somewhere. We originally tried to go to Spinasse, but they didn't take walk-ins. Luckily, Artusi was right next to us & they had availability (we got there around 9 PM). The hostess was amazing and our waitress was also incredibly nice. Please note you have to be 21 to dine here and they checked my ID twice. The inside is very cute with the dim lighting. No loud music, so a perfect place to have dinner with a nice conversation. We got a bread appetizer to share & we had 3 people, so the waitress was nice enough to throw in an extra slice. The carrot whipped ricotta was a very interesting flavor & you could really taste the carrot. The bread was also cold and hard, so I would opt for a different appetizer next time. All of our main dishes were incredible. The portions were also great. I got the Tonnarelli as a vegetarian option. It's more on the heavier side, but i usually like that with my pastas. Would definitely get again. For dessert, we got the tiramisu which was amazing. I don't even like coffee, but i was able to eat this. We also stayed past their closing time without realizing. I felt so bad as we were leaving, but they were all still very nice to us! Really enjoyed this experience. read more

The pasta here is pretty good but the unexpected highlight of the night was the fry bread appetizer. Omg, this item felt unassuming to me but I seriously considered ordering a second one even after I was full because the texture of the fry bread was just so light and fluffy and hit with olive oil and flaky salt, it shined by itself. However, there was also prosciutto cotto and then the butter and chimchurri? It was amazing. everything else was good but not super memorable and we also got a corn and bacon pasta where the fresh noodles were of good texture. read more

I found this place to be very disappointing. It is a very cozy place with very few tables. The restaurant is overwhelmed by the bar. The good news is that they have a happy hour through the whole restaurant, not just the bar area. I realized that the bar is the main theme of the whole restaurant. The service was very good. The server was efficient and Came over quickly. The food was very expensive and the plates very small. An entree or pasta dish was served on a small bread plate. I had the risotto with lobster. Of course, you can taste the rice and the mushrooms, but there wasn't any taste of lobster. My husband had the black cod. It looked like an appetizer portion rather than an entree. The cod was very good, but it should have been larger. They do not serve hot tea. As a lifelong tea drinker, I find it disconcerting that they can't boil water and throw a teabag in a cup. We are tourists who went to the restaurant based on a recommendation. It wasn't worth the trip. read more

Wow I really enjoyed my meal here! One of the best meatballs I've ever had and I really enjoyed the sauce with the Tonnarelli. Was a refreshing and light meal. Boyfriend had the short rib, it was tender and delicious. Only reason I would hesitate to stop by again and not a 5/5 is the price and portion size. Felt pricey for the size of the meal you get. If it was like 1.5 x bigger portion I would feel satisfied! Unfortunately I left feeling a bit hungry still. Service was quick and friendly. Ambiance felt modern and welcoming. read more

Artusi is so good! We initially intended to go to Spinasse next door but landed here instead. It ended up being their Wine and Pasta deal Monday, so we did that and got the appetizer / antipasti plate and some dessert! Overall it was so delicious, pasta portions felt on the smaller side but the quality was there. Definitely will be coming back. Highly recommend the antipasti platter, the fry bread was 10/10 as well as the burrata and other fixins. We were seated right away at the bar when we got there at 6, and the restaurant was starting to fill up. It's a small space but it's layed out well and feels very NYC. Staff were so lovely too. read more

I recently visited Artusi, and I was surprised to learn it's actually the sister restaurant of Spinasse, one of the best Italian spots in Seattle. Even though they sit right next to each other, it's not obvious they're affiliated until you ask the staff. One of the best perks is that you can order Spinasse's famously delicious, house-made pasta here--definitely a huge plus. Unfortunately, we had other plans that night, so we couldn't try the pasta, but it's on my list for next time. We stopped by around 4 PM for happy hour. The menu is a little limited on the food side, but the cocktails more than made up for it--they were incredible, balanced, and beautifully done. The space itself is small, so you'll hear conversations around you, but it's not overly loud or distracting. The décor feels classy and comfortable--perfect for a casual date or even a business meet-up without being overly fancy. Another bonus is the small garage next door where parking is just $4 per hour, which is rare and very convenient for Capitol Hill. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Artusi for drinks, a light bite, or a cozy date night. And the fact that they share so much with Spinasse makes it even more of a win. read more

Lots to like here. Relaxed vibe. That the happy hour on Saturday extends into 7 PM is a real bonus and provides some incredible value. Food quality is very high. A couple of words of warning... my pork milanese was cooked very well, but comes sitting in a lake of garlic aioli that overwhelms the pork. Could have really used a citrus accompaniment instead of the slime of the aioili. Second, if you order the meatballs, know that it comes with bread so that when you separately order a plate of bread (delicious, btw), you are doubling up the bread order. Server should have alerted us. Overall, I think this is a great place and was not nearly as hard to get into without a rezzy as its reputation suggests. read more

Ok first of all, the pasta is out of this world. You can taste the freshness of it and I'm so glad I finally got an opportunity to go here. We went on a Sunday for the 2 pasta and a bottle of wine special (what a deal. You really can't miss it! It's also on Monday too). The pesto on the pasta of the day was so fresh and delicious, it's going to be tough to beat a pesto like that. The restaurant invites a lot of natural lighting which I loved and the service was awesome. Super quick and really accommodating :) read more

Came for pasta night - 2 pastas and a bottle of wine for $47 on Sundays and Mondays. Ordered the house bread for $5, which was made worth it by the incredible rosemary butter. Also had the tonarelli pasta, which was sort of a small portion but good enough (creamy and flavorful but sort of too simple). The house rose was nice and crisp. Food came out very fast! read more

Came here on a Monday at 5:30 and it was already crowded! We did the 2 pastas and a bottle of wine for $50. Definitely a steal. We also ordered an app to start, the burrata. It was absolutely delicious and a great dish with some veggies to start. I really liked the nightly pasta with prosciutto and cream sauce. I kind of forgot what else was in it.. but it was delicious. We shared about a glass each of wine and they let you take the rest of the bottle home. Super awesome! Would def recommend to go again. read more

Came here for an early dinner with some friends. Has more of a high end type of vibe with its classy decor. I definitely felt like I wasn't dressed well enough for the place. Especially since my friends and I decided to walk 15 minutes in the sun to get there. Did not like feeling sweaty and gross when I went in. Anyways, we had the option of tap or sparkling water, but they never tell you that they'll charge you for the sparkling which I'm a bit pissed about when I saw that on my bill. Like I had a feeling, but the service made it seem like I wouldn't be charged. Kind of messed up. Anyways, I never understood the appeal of aperol because I had it in Italy before and didn't like it. I thought I'd try it again and it still isn't for me. Sorry. Anyways, I got the tonnarelli pasta and it was quite good. I can't say the tiramisu was that great. Why is it so hard to find good tiramisu?! Maybe I just don't know what good tiramisu is. I don't know, but it didn't meet my expectations. Sadness. Would I come back? Yeah, pasta was great. Service was fine other than the whole sparkling water thing. And I do like the fancy ambiance. Totally would come back. read more

We made reservations with our friend that unfortunately suffered a major migraine and couldn't join us. The hostess seemed irritated that a four top had been reserved and now we were only two. She offered us two options - sit outside or at the chef's counter. We opted for the counter. Meanwhile, the entire hour we were there, our table sat empty as were five other tables. Our server appeared behind us with a quick "Hi" and to take our order. We got a really terrific Amari cocktail and a glass of wine to drink with our bread/oil and potato artichoke salad. The salad was pretty pedestrian and nothing too special. For mains, we tried the mini ravioli with mushrooms and the pasta special - salmon with cheese and bread crumbs that reminded us of tuna noodle casserole. The pastas in both dishes were very delicate and well prepared. No need to mention the small portions as others have pointed out. My wife's ravioli was so small, we added two meatballs to our order. Those were drowned in salt and garlic and roughly ground, not nuanced or tender. I've sat at other chef counters where the chef actually interacts with diners or offers an amuse bouche or special taste of something. The two gentlemen cooking did not even make eye contact with us. For the price point and critical acclaim, we expected a lot more. The service was okay but not very warm nor welcoming and the food decent but not "WOW" good. read more

We came here for the Sunday pasta and wine happy hour (Two Pastas + One Bottle of Wine for $45). The pasta is such a great deal, considering that the pasta is quite similar (or the same?) as the higher priced sister restaurant Spinasse. The pastas are pretty basic but done well and al dente. The rigatoni rabbit ragu was cooked well, although a little one note. Same for the tagliatelle with chicken and sage. Both dishes were very rich. The tagliatelle especially stood out for its eggy, perfect al dente ribbons - the textural experience was the best part. For the ambiance, and if you're not picky about wine and are content with a mid-tier wine, the $45 Sunday deal is awesome. Outside of that, for location and date night it could be nice but would be a bit pricey for the value for me. read more

Enjoyed dinner here on a busy Friday night with some friends. We were quick to be seated in the intimate and buzzy space. Initial service was a little bit slow, but the restaurant was packed and service once we ordered food was attentive and quick. Unique cocktail menu, I ordered the Grey Sour (I think that's what it was called?) which had Underberg as an ingredient, and the server asked if I'd had it before and warned me the drink was more licorice-y and herbal. As someone who has previously drank Underbergs as a shot (lol) I was totally fine with it and the drink was great. We started with the house bread with olive oil and ricotta butter. Honestly the bread was meh but the butter was excellent. The menu is pretty small, but of the limited items they do them well. One of us ordered the nightly special which was basically a pasta carbonara and it looked delicious and she said she enjoyed it. The pasta looked and tasted homemade, and the best part were the portion sizes!!! Personally, I don't want to (and probably shouldn't) eat a giant plate of pasta and sometimes leftovers don't hit the same. The portion sizes here are perfect to where you don't feel gross and overly stuffed but they aren't tasting portion sizes. We were also really surprised by the price, as the meal pre-tip was like $200 for four people, appetizer, cocktails, and desserts. I definitely would like to come back for a date night and try more menu items! read more

Very disappointed with the food -- the taste was not good and the price was too high for the quality and portions.

Had a great time here. Service was quick and attentive, and the ambiance of the restaurant walked the line between casual and boujee. Between the alcohol, starters, and our pasta, Artusi is a splendid choice for dates and casual nights out.

Absolutely wonderful and delicious, just as I remembered it. It had been years since I'd been to Artusi. I'd always remembered it fondly but just hadn't had the opportunity to stop in since the pandemic. Took two friends for happy hour and loved the pasta. One in our party was vegetarian and had plenty of delicious options, and they also so gracefully accommodated our seating outside request. Really appreciated their top notch service and hospitality. We ordered from the happy hour menu to start: rose, prosecco and a negroni, and the pasta of the day, asparagus salad and hazelnuts. Round one was delicious. Then on to more pasta. We ordered all the rest of their pastas, and once again, that wild boar ragu was my favorite. Melt in your mouth tender and packed with flavor. The ravioli and risotto were also tasty. The meatball was out of this world, as was the garlic bread it came with. For dessert, we split tiramisu and the pistachio ice cream. The ice cream wasn't bad but I do wish the pistachio had come through more. Loved their amaro suggestion with dessert as well. All in all an amazing meal, thank you! read more

Food: Very tasty, but very small and overpriced portions. The happy hour helped a bit but the entrees were not worth it to me. The drinks were very good though and definitely worth it. They had 2 vegetarian entrees, but quite a few more options in the apps for veggie. Service: Bartender Alfredo was absolutely doing the work of 3 people and doing it very well. Very prompt, attentive, and had great recommendations despite how busy he was. Ambiance: Cute little place with no wait. Sat at the bar which was pretty cool because we could see all the different drinks being made and going out. Eclectic crowd and a cute place to grab some drinks and snacks. Clean bathroom. Cute artwork and tiling on the bar and chef seating. read more

I had a need for pasta and a salad. I was solo, so a bar top was preferable. Artusi was perfect. There were two other solo diners at the bar, so I was alone, but not. I chose the carbonara because I can cook, and this is something I have recipes for, but never made. Now I have a benchmark to target when making it at home. The salad was a perfect way to eat a scallop and veges that cut the richness of the carbonara. read more

5/5!! Walked in and easily got a table for 3 on a Monday evening for dinner. Luckily for us, it was pasta night, which mean 2 pasta entrees and a bottle of wine for $45. A deal so good, we did it twice! The three of us split all 4 pasta entrees and 2 bottles of red. It was a great deal and opportunity for us to try all the different dishes. My favorite was the mushroom cavatelli, but they all had such distinct flavors you can't go wrong! The service was attentive but not too bothersome which we appreciated and the ambiance was casual but still nice! Would definitely recommend and return! read more

A small and intimate corner restaurant that seems busy all the time. We ordered a salad that had a great red wine vinaigrette.

They don't take reservations for smaller parties so we did end up waiting a while to get seated, like 45 minutes, but they more than made up for it with the food and service.

We did a double date at Artusi and loved it! They have great cocktails and mocktails, a generous taster appetizer dish that was a perfect starter for 4 people and the pasta was delish and the meatball is a must-have addition. They had options for veg/pesc diets too. read more

We came here monday for an early dinner before the kraken game. We got the wine and pasta for 2. First the restaurant is well kept with, lots of windows and it just had a fresh atmosphere inside. Optional patio seating for hot summer days which is a bonus. The service was really prompt and knowledgeable, really nice fellow who took care of us. The food was absolutely delicious, the meatballs were moist and the bruschetta was a healthy sized portion with a little kick to it. If i had one gripe which is a stretch i'll admit is that the portion size of my mezzaluna was tiny BUT it was really good.

Lovely, intimate dining atmosphere! Party of 2 seated immediately on a Friday around 6pm. Yes, the portion sizes are small, but honestly the right size to get a satisfactory taste but not feel too stuffed afterward. We also got the meatballs, which were fine. Overall, worth a try for the vibes during Happy Hour ($14 pasta) or pasta night on Sundays and Mondays (2 pastas + bottle of wine for $45), but probably wouldn't come here otherwise since you might as well go to the sister restaurant Spinasse next door as you near that price point. read more

Last week, I had the opportunity to grab dinner at Spinasse and learned that executive chef, Stuart Lane also owns and curates Artusi. I was so excited to try their food since I loved my meal and experience of Artusi. It was definitely more of a relaxed setting and a great place to meet up with a friend. We decided to go for Artusi's special every Sunday and Monday pasta night. 2 choice pasta and a bottle of wine for $45. We also got some bread and bread to accompany the pasta. I think the pasta portion was a little on the smaller size, however, it was still so delicious and flavorful. read more

You can't have a limited menu of ONLY 5 pasta options and not specialize in them. Typically when a restaurants have few items, it's because that's what they're good at. Appetizer was the only thing that was good. The canneloni was too salty and pasta Della sera was too watery for it to be a carbonara wannabe. Knowing we were a large party with automatic gratuity, the service was slow during a slow running business as well. Asking for a new napkin was a chore for one gal. It's a place that is not worth going to if you're craving Italian food, but a place to waste money for the vibe though. read more

Visited for Pasta + Wine night on a Sunday at 6:45pm and the wait was about 20 minutes. Artusi has Pasta + Wine nights on Sundays and Mondays where you get 2 pastas and 1 bottle of wine for $45. No reservation needed. We got the Tagliatelle (bolognese), Meatballs, and Pasta Della Sera (nightly special with mushrooms). Expect small portions. I wouldn't recommend this special if you were looking for something filling. The meatballs were the highlight of the night and it came with well buttered toast. Service was friendly but the wait for our second order of meatballs was ridiculously long (they might've forgot to put down the order). read more

Took the entire family, kids included, to Seattle for a week. Searched around for a high-end but not too expensive Italian restaurant and landed on Artusi. Lucky for us, when we wandered in without a reservation, they had availability and a table for four.

Highly recommend the meatballs, which come with a side of extremely buttery garlic toast. we also shared a bottle of the house red, a Pinot Noir that paired perfectly with our food. Service was a bit on the moody side, but attentive. Highly recommend!! read more
