We've met Michela (business owner) and her charming mother when Michela was a guest at Tom Douglas's Hot Stove Society weekly show. They are very nice and warm people and we love to support small businesses. Today we bought some of the most delicious freshly made pasta I've had since I've made my own. This is a bargain at $10 for a clamshell of yummy goodness. Also for purchase is her famous lasagna in the cooler packed in ready to warm up servings and also her homemade sauce. The staff we interacted with was super nice and described the pasta options available. We also noticed Michela's two books she wrote on display at the counter. I like the one with common sayings and their Italian meanings. Interesting subject. We cooked the pasta at home with some vodka/rosa sauce and it was delectable. Especially when paired with some nice wine. Give this woman-owned business a try when you can. You'll be happy you did.

When the food is done, they'll call your name at the counter and you pick it up. Staff was friendly and answered all our questions. They also let us have four extra bowls which was nice. Vibe: this is a highly casual spot. It's difficult to get tables but be patient and someone will give up theirs. Don't expect someone to wait on you, you get your own water here. I really liked it as a spot to get good food and not have conversations be interrupted. It's a solid pasta place and a safe option if you want good pasta, but not a must-dine here if you're in Seattle for a short while. What we ordered: From the ocean - this time it was wild sockeye salmon with tagliolini. The fish was fresh and the pasta cooked al dente. There wasn't a whole lot of flavor going on. You could taste the saltyness and brine from the marinated artichokes with a pop of brightness from the lemons but it wasn't interesting. Glad I tried it but wouldn't order again. From the farm - this was reginette with spicy sausage and bell peppers. This had a lot of flavor! Mostly from bell peppers and the spices from the sausage. The pasta was again cooked al dente and the sausage was tender. It worked really nicely together. Would order again, but would probably opt to try something new as I usually like trying new things.

You walk in and order at a self-service kiosk, and there are plenty of options to customize your pasta. You can choose from different pasta types and sauces, which makes it easy to build exactly what you want. We ordered the short rib pasta and the carbonara, along with a cannoli for dessert. After ordering, you seat yourself and they call your name when the food is ready. We had no problem finding a table for two. There seemed to be a lot of takeout orders coming through. Both pastas tasted fresh and were cooked al dente, just as advertised. The carbonara was creamy and flavorful. The short rib itself was good, but the pasta and sauce were a bit separated, so the pasta didn't absorb as much flavor as I expected. The cannoli was very filling and had a hint or orange in it. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for quick, customizable pasta. Just keep in mind that it's more of a fast-casual place rather than a full sit-down service restaurant.

Okay, holy shit, I had to RUN and write this review after getting spinach pappardelle and pomodoro…read moresauce from Pasteria Lucchese at the Ballard Farmer's Market. I'm an Italian from New York. I lived there for 22 years. When I tell you I haven't had good Italian food since I moved to Washington 5 years ago (yes, I even disliked The Pink Door), I mean it. And when I say this is the BEST pasta and sauce I stumbled across today, I MEAN IT. I feared writing this review would cause the pasta to sell out faster. I went around 12:30 today and most of the pasta was already sold out (I believe they open at 9 am). I guess I'll be waking up earlier to beat everyone there for the rest of my life. YOU MUST GO HERE.

I finally noticed their booth while roaming around the market during a snow day, which resulted in a uncrowded market. Anyways, the man running the booth was so easy to chat with. I ended up purchasing their saffron tagliatelle and beet and goat cheese ravioli since he sold me on how to prepare those pastas. He even gave me his business card and told me to not hesitate to call if I had any further questions while cooking. You can't beat service like that! Later that night, I followed his suggestions on how to prepare those pastas: Saffron tagliatelle with shallots, onions, crab meat and a little cream. Beet and goat cheese ravioli with caramelized onions. We ended up adding a little bit of cream to it. I was blown away with both dishes. Both pastas had the perfect texture and flavors were amazing. The saffron pasta had a nice creamy taste while the ravioli tasted earthy and mildly sweet. Best of all, these were quick to prepare, and there's no need to thaw the pastas either. While it takes 3-4 min to boil the pastas, the total cooking time was under 15 min. Next Sunday I'll be returning to stock up on those pastas for those nights I need a quick meal.

The place is definitely a little tricky to find, and the door itself isn't quite as pink as you might expect! But once we found it, we were lucky enough to get a table for two on a Saturday without much trouble. We each had a drink, and I ordered the linguine alle vongole. It had a generous amount of clams and was really delicious. The food was excellent, the service was great, and the atmosphere was even better. I'm sure this place gets especially fun in the evenings when they have live music and entertainment, although I imagine getting a table is considerably more difficult then. Honestly, I'm glad we experienced it for lunch because it was a great way to spend some time before heading to the airport. Overall, really glad we stopped in. Great food, great service, and a really cool atmosphere. We definitely lucked out getting a table, and I'd happily come back the next time I'm in Seattle. Five stars!

The man behind the counter was extremely friendly and helped us navigate the (what turns out to be extremely simple) ordering process: you pick your sauce, you pick your pasta, choose whether you want a side or a drink, and that's it. I went with the short rib ragu along with a piece of focaccia, my son chose the bolognese with spaghetti. He enjoyed his very much (and took half of it home). I rate my short rib ragu as "ok", the fresh made pasta was fantastic, and the focaccia was what I needed to totally clean my plate. I'm excited to return and try other pasta/sauce combos. I was also tempted by the lasagna, so that's on my future wish list as well.
