the rest of the people i was with got pastas, but i was interested in trying this first off, with the pork shank, the meat was practically falling off the bone - it was just incredibly tender you could tell the braising process was done to perfection - a lot of care was put into the slow-cooking process the meat has certainly been cooked well when all i have to do is use my fork lightly and the pork easily tears away from the rest of the structure i also loved the flavor of the sauce on top - it didn't overpower the pork - but rather added a pretty solid overall flavor to balance out the meat the other nice thing is it helped with making sure the meat didn't get dry the tenderness of this meat is quite impressive another thing that i found quite enjoyable was the sides this dish came with a lot of roasted potatoes - which were fantastic first, it was great that there was a lot of them to to provide another experience from just the pork, but they were also seasoned well and coated well with oil Additionally, I loved to escarole - so much so that it was gone pretty quickly. eating it with the potatoes was great initially, i wasn't sure on what the balsamic cipollini was - it seems to be an onion coated in vinegar - kinda mixed on that one i was also pleasantly surprised by the size of the portion of the pork - it was a pretty large cut of meat, and the overall dish itself was pretty well sized it was expensive - about 32 dollars for this entree - but I do think I got a better deal than the others i was with who ordered pastas (which came in relatively small portions) for about 5 dollars less moving on, i also ordered the flourless chocolate cake this i wasn't really a fan of first, the filling was pretty dry. it tasted mostly like crumbs and there wasn't much, if any, chocolate filling inside because of how tall the cake was, it meant that you would have couldn't really eat the cake vertically, like you would in a normal cake, which enables you to get frosting with each bite. when the cake slice is this tall and thin, you have to eat exclusively from the base at first. this also resulted in the cake toppling over a few bites in also, i'm not a big fan of the raspberry sorbetto on the cake - it didn't fit super well the vanilla creme tasted good but there really wasn't a lot of it - it was more there as a decoration read more

Osteria la Spiga - pork shank - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The space is so beautiful and gives a rustic modern feel. It's apart of a market like space but the restaurant itself is inside the connected building and has a spacious main floor and a separate upstairs space that can be reserved. When my partner and I arrived, a wedding party was upstairs and it was incredible to see all the people celebrating comfortably. The service was good! My partner made the reservation as a surprise. Once we arrived, we were seated at a table that was half booth half table seating. He requested a booth in the reservation that was placed weeks in advanced. They were unable to provide a booth when we arrived which was a bit surprising but we didn't make a fuss at all. It was a busy night and it wouldn't surprise me if it's busy all the time. The food is incredible. I love Italian food and I can't wait to come back for the Tagliatelle al Burro di Tartufo. It's a pasta with white alba truffle butter. Smaller portions that in my opinion are perfect. We also ordered the Vignale di Cecilia Prosecco Brut NV. We were a little bummed that they ran out of the bottle so early. I think it was 7:30pm but again, such a good experience and at least we got to purchase and enjoy one bottle in our party. My only tiff was they didn't buss the table as we ate. We were at a smaller table and a bit cramped (and we made a reservation in advance) and our waitress didn't grab our empty appetizer dishes. read more

*Review for private event only* 5/5 stars for ambiance. We came here when this place was booked out for a private event. Of note, it is Seattle street or garage parking (we ended up paying $8/hr for parking a couple of blocks a way for street parking) so about $25 for the evening. This restaurant is located within a little shared area and of note, the bathroom is outside of the restaurant downstairs with a code required which is a bit inconvenient. There are two floors and a bar area. We tried some mocktails which were tasty including a passion fruit and basil lemonade, both were the highlights of the evening. We tried some appetizers including a polenta with green sauce, quesadilla-like app, meatballs, which were all just alright. For the main course, it was buffet style salad, truffle tagliatelle, vegetarian lasagna, gnocchi al pomodoro and butternut squash based dish. Unfortunately, for large catered events, I think that with large portions, everything was just alright. We also had slices of flourless chocolate almond cake for dessert. I was really hoping to enjoy this place more, but maybe will have to try it in a more intimate setting where portions are made individually. read more

Underwhelming, had not been here in awhile and was let down by bland offerings. Wine menu was nice, service was good. The presentation and the entrees lacked in flavor and depth :( not what I remember. read more

A group of 5 of us met up her for a friend's bachelorette dinner. The restaurant had immaculate vibes, with big tables and high ceilings, so while you could always hear the general din of the surrounding area, it also felt very private and cozy. The food and drinks were amazing- everyone enjoyed their cocktails (I had the Pera Dadi, which I highly recommend for any bourbon fans). We had a round of the puffed fry bread, and each ordered a plate of hand-made pasta. Everything tasted delicious and set us up for success for the night of going out in Capitol Hill. Our server was very attentive and kind, even bringing me a slice of candied pear on the side that she had forgotten to put into my drink, without me even asking or noticing. I highly recommend this as a great mid-range first stop for a night out on Capitol Hill. read more

We visited here for Seattle Restaurant week. We ordered the 3 course $35 menu. The place is rustic and dimly lit, and the food was pretty good! I enjoyed the truffle pasta--it was simple, but had the forward-tasting truffle essence that I was hoping for. The only thing missing was some freshly cracked black pepper, I wish they had come around with a pepper mill! The pasta itself was al dente and tasted fresh, but a bit clumpy/stuck together. The salad was well-balanced, and I liked the crunch of the pistachios and the contrast with the juicy flavorful dressing and the tart raisins and mandarins. The lasagna was hearty and had a nice light tomato flavor. Dessert was a flourless chocolate cake, which was light and nutty, and the perfect portion for one. The service was pretty slow though, and we had to wait at least 15 minutes to order. However, our server was attentive with refilling our wine and water carafe. Overall, this restaurant wasn't bad, but there are higher quality Italian places elsewhere. I would probably only come back for the truffle pasta. read more

Delicious dining in a beautiful setting right on Capitol Hill! I've heard good things about Osteria la Spiga in the past and got the chance to officially check it out over a dinner with friends. Vibe is casual but still on date night level if you wanted it to be. It's open and bright and airy, and the service is great. They also have outdoor seating that looks great for warmer days. I started with their soup of the day which was a potato and leek soup, but I was caught off guard with the curry flavor. That said, my husband and I both LOVED it and thought it was such a unique soup! I've had potato and leek soup in the past and this was the most flavorful one I've had. Definitely recommend when it comes around. For our entrees, I went with the Tagliatelle al Ragu, and what my husband got is completely slipping my mind... But he liked it! My Tagliatelle was stellar. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce was delicious. It was a delicate balance of sweet and savory and was exactly what I had been craving. I was having a hard time deciding which to pick, so I'm really glad I went with this dish! Their Aperol Spritz was nice and refreshing, and mirrored the taste of others I've had in the past. I never am a dessert person but decided to indulge in the panna cotta and 10/10 do recommend for a delicious dessert that isn't overwhelming. For both of us with the starter soup, a few drinks, entrees, and our dessert, it was a little under $150 after tip. I guess a little more on the pricy end for just a regular night out, but the quality matched the price imo. Definitely recommend for a splurge of a date night or a special occasion dinner! read more

It's not bad. I would come back if someone else was paying for me. I just felt like my gnocchi dish was not worth $25. It was more $18. I felt like I could've got better gnocchi from Trader Joe's. They were out of lasagna somehow. The ambiance was nice but weird because it was like trying to be upscale but fell short somewhere. Overall the food was fine, the host took a shot behind the bar with a coworker, I think that's illegal? But no free shots given to my birthday boy. Overall, I think next year I will cook birthday boy Italian food because the place was not hitting our expectations. read more

Really great date night spot nestled in the middle of Capitol Hill. It is on the pricier side and smaller portions. Service was warm but a little on the slow side. Now onto the food - our favorite dish was the seasonal antipasti cured meats, burrata, and grilled peach board - delicious and abundant. 5 stars. I ordered the Tagliatelle al Burro di Tartufo. Flavor was subtle and creamy. It was a nice dish in between seasons. Small portion. 4.5 stars. My partner had the lasagna. Stated it was a bit on the mushier side than solid layers and a crisped top but flavor was good. 4 stars. It was a nice date night spot but won't be rushing back. read more

All the food here was really good! If you go for happy hour, it's also very reasonably priced. I honestly probably wouldn't recommend going outside of HH because otherwise it's pretty costly relative to portion size but the HH deals are excellent for both food and drinks. We managed to order drinks, apps, and mains all from the HH and saved a ton but were very full and happy. I would recommend a res to be safe during peak times. We had great service and a lovely little spot by the window. It was very intimate and romantic feeling so I would recommend this spot especially for date night. read more

Our first time at Osteria la Spiga and it will not be our last. The service, vibes, and food were all perfect! We came here with friends and were immediately impressed with their space. The dining room had was rustic yet elegant. We were seated in the back area which was had lower ambient noise and more intimate. Dinner started with a Rhonda Negroni which was a mix of gin, vermouth, and Campari. Perfectly made and a good pre-dinner drink. We also brought a couple of bottles of wine to open for dinner. The corkage fee was $30 per bottle. For appetizers, we shared the Polenta con Ragu di Coniglio. This crispy fried polenta was served with braised rabbit ragu was delicious and a must order. We also shared a Piadina Romagnola, a traditional flatbread from Romagna and Caprese salad. The flatbread was similar to a pita bread and was served with high quality olive oil. The caprese salad was refreshing and always a favorite. For main dish, I ordered the Pollo alla Diavola. The dish consisted of grilled boneless chicken thigh skewers, house-made sausage with a vegetable mélange. The chicken was tender and the house sausage was well-seasoned. The dish was garnished with crispy chicken skin for added texture. I absolutely recommend this dish! Dessert was a decadent Panna Cotta al Caramello. The mixture of sweet cream with bitter caramel was phenomenal. The added texture of the crispy meringues made this dessert one of my favorites. Service was top notch. Our server consistently anticipated our needs and took great read more

Really liked the vibe of the place, especially for a bigger group. We sat upstairs and the atmosphere was nice with lots of other groups and chatting, without it being too noisy. Our server was nice and helpful. He checked up on us throughout the night while giving us space. He also helped us choose a wine and got us chasers with our shots at the end of the night. For food we ordered the formaggi Misti to share, which was slightly disappointing in quantity. For entrees we tried the lasagna, truffle mushroom tortelli, chicken salad and white truffle pasta. My lasagna was pretty good and hit the spot, though my favorite was the mushroom tortelli which had a truffle flavor and the right balance of mushroom and ricotta in the filling. For drinks we shared a bottle of wine. My friend was also excited to see they had a Serbian liqueur on the menu and he enjoyed the punch cocktail made from it too! Overall, the food was good but more so the atmosphere would be why I recommend going. They also have a patio that opens which would be nice in the summer read more

For the food, 5 stars for sure. Our server seemed new and gave us an incorrect first and third course and then gave me the bill without a way to tip and sign. Everyone was pleasant to interact with. We have ordered meals before but this was our first dine in experience during SRW. The apps; cannellini soup was good though a bit salty, the grilled veggie plate was flavorful perfection, and the porcetta crostini was unique and delicious. We also added polenta (meh) and sausage (would do again every time). The mains; eggplant parm was hella cheesy and flavorful, fish dumpling dish was tasty and most tender pasta, and the gnocchi was a solid classic choice. The sweet side; the panna cotta was the best I've ever had--more smooth and creamy than anyone. The hazelnut cake is not chocolate or flavorful enough for this girl, esp next to the raspberry sorbet and creamy p cotta. The sorbet bonus/error (which doesn't need the vodka sauce addition) was such a surprise to my non fruit preferring honey, he's the one that finished it off. We were first to arrive and there was no street parking, so maybe getting to go will continue to be our preference but it was nice to have everything hot. The place is huge, I was curious about the upstairs perspective as well. read more

Best Italian food in Seattle without a doubt (half Italian here, mom is from Italy and I grew up with my grandmother's cooking, so I know a thing or two.) Servers always go above and beyond in terms of service, and the food is just unbeatable. Every single thing melts in your mouth, and is bursting with freshness. Beautiful ambiance as well. Last time I got the gnocchi, tastes just like the ones from Milano. Perfect for any occasion, grazie for being here!!!! read more

Cool building and great ambiance. If you are going here to hang out and have no expectation of the pasta you'd be ok. If you want good pasta, this is not the place you'll want to try. I ordered the Gnocchetti Pasticciati... Bland... and dry, like it came out and in my head I thought that can't be all there is ... where's the sauce? a single layer of gnocchi with maybe two tablespoons of red vodka sauce. It was as bad as it looked. Companion ordered Taglatelle al Burro Di Tartufo.... just as bad. so lightly sauced you'd think it was dry noodles. I was sad. I had such high hopes. I'd have been better off at Olive Garden... yeah that's how bad it was. BUT.. cool building... read more

I'm sad to say that our experience at Osteria la Spiga was average. Our group of nine made an reservation for a dinner. We kicked off the evening with a round of drinks and apps for the table. I felt that the drink menu was pretty lacking and was bummed to see there weren't any tequila options. I typically try to stick with the restaurant's menu, so I can experience their signature beverages. Since I didn't gravitate towards any of the beverages, I ordered an off-the-menu paloma. This drink was served incredibly sour and was a bit tough to finish. For dinner I ordered the truffle gnocchi. I found this meal to be below average, and was pretty disappointed considering each plate was over $20. read more

This used to be a top tier restaurant...no more. Saturday night...half empty. Either it's pork or vegetarian...no fish, chicken, lamb or beef. Several items on the menu were out. Now they're selling something they claim is a Roman stuffed flatbread special...It was a quesadilla. Short pour on the $20/glass wine. Service? Great if your standard is "flirty." If your standard is "timely and attentive?" B-. How the mighty have fallen. read more

I discovered Osteria la Spiga after watching the owner on an episode of Chopped for the Italy cooking challenge they had and the owner won the episode for her region and came in second place in the final episode. I was super excited to come here and right as we walked in, I loved the open style of the restaurant and the high ceilngs/windows. We were seating right by the window in the perfect spot and enjoyed that the two-top tables had plenty of room on the table themselves and inbetween other tables. The service was great! Our server was very attentive and nice. Now on to the food... Appetizers: Calamari - perfectly breaded and great flavor. gnocco fritto (v) - fried bread puffs - I wish these had a sauce to dip in or stuffed with cheese. They just tasted like beignet dough, which wasn't a bad thing just needed some more flavor. Tigelle alla Parmigiana - This was very tasty! It was on their happy hour menu and I loved the grilled eggplant Dinner - Pasta is a must! But if I were to come again, I'd order a pasta and something from the secondi menu. Gnocchetti all'Ossolana - Mushroom Gnocchi, can't go wrong. This was very savory and the flavors were very cohesive. I loved how soft the mushrooms were in this dish. Lasagne Verdi - YUM YUM YUM - this just melted in your mouth. Such good flavors, I would order this again. Lastly, this deserves it's own highlight because it was SO tasty - I ordered two of them! The Passionfruit Lime Soda (spiritless drink) was my favorite thing I ordered. I wanted to take it home! It was super refreshing and not overly sweet. Overall, there is a wide variety on this menu and everything we tried was very tasty. Highly recommend for a little date night spot! read more

I visited Osteria La Spiga during Seattle Restaurant Week and was thoroughly impressed by the pasta dishes! Gnocchi al Pomodoro The gnocchi was absolutely delicious--pillowy, flavorful, and served in just the right portion. A true standout dish. Lasagne Verdi I also tried my friend's Lasagne Verdi, and honestly, I loved it even more than my dish. It was so rich, flavorful, and perfectly layered. Highly recommend giving this one a try! Torta di Nocciola For dessert, I tried the Torta di Nocciola, a flourless chocolate and hazelnut cake. While it wasn't quite my favorite due to its strong hazelnut flavor and crunchy texture, I'd recommend it to anyone who loves nutty, textured desserts. Overall, a good dining experience, and I'd definitely come back for the pasta! read more

A delightful meal! My husband and I have been wanting to dine here for a bit and are so glad we finally stopped in! The atmosphere was lovely, the service was excellent (our server Katia was so wonderful! Incredibly helpful, kind and very attentive. She had just a wonderful demeanor!), and the food was very delicious. We got: -Pane all'olio (5/5) so light and fluffy and very crisp crust (but in a light way). Came out warm too! -Cavolfiori Fritti (5/5) so tender and well cooked, not soggy at all. Seasoned nicely too! And the sauce it came with was delicious, nice touch of acidity and super creamy. -Insalata Primavera (5/5) LOVED the salad. It was simple, but done so well. Perfectly dressed and seasoned, the veggies were so tender and bright and the crunch from the pumpkin seeds was perfection. I'd eat it every day if I could. -Tagliatelle al Ragu (4/5) pasta was cooked perfectly and again, seasoned so well! The only thing I wish was that there was a tiny bit more ragu, but that's also mostly just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was one of the better pasta dishes I've had in Seattle. Loved our meal here. We'll definitely be back again! read more

The prices are good, especially for Happy Hour. The space is gorgeous, the menu great, the staff good, the food mixed (some things amazing, some things not well prepared at all), and the music just TERRIBLE. Also the lighting is beautiful but at the table the pendant too bright. We are not operating on the food. I don't want my dining companions to see the finer lines on my face. But back to the music, really hard to take the place seriously with the worst 90s mix at a touch too high volume. I know that people (including me) like some vintage music but this was not that. They do have a piano player on Thursdays I was told and that actually might make for the perfect night once you know what to order and what to avoid. read more

We came on the last day of Restaurant Week. After we were seated, we didn't see our waiter for 20 minutes, and then he said he would be right back, but then took another 20 minutes to come back to talk about wine, and then took another 20 minutes to come back with the wine. So I think we waited for an hour before we got to order our food, and then we waited another hour before we got our food. The food itself was decent but not worth waiting 2 hours for. Also since it was restaurant week, they ran out of ingredients. Gnocchi was fluffy but with chew and the sauce was nicely acidic. The salad had orange but also orange seeds in it, which was a little unpleasant. They ran out of pistachios. Of the desserts, the panna cotta was my favorite because it was so smooth and creamy and the burnt caramel balanced the sweetness. The torta was my least favorite because the texture was very crumbly since it was flourless and hazelnut-based. read more

Came with a reservation for 2 people @ Saturday 6:45pm and was seated slightly before RSVP time. Servers were friendly and attentive enough to refill waters promptly, without being pestering. We ordered off the restaurant week menu at the beginning and all the courses were paced well. The main entrees didn't come out before we were finished with our apps, and the dessert came a healthy time after the main to let the food settle. We tried a variety of things: - formatting cheese app 2/10 good cheese but tiny portion - Zuppa Del Gino soup of the day, which was a squash soup 6/10 as expected - gnocchi 7/10 good texture but strong tomato flavor was kind of overpowering - tagliatelle al tartufo truffle pasta 10/10 so good! Texture of pasta was fantastic and the flavors were well balanced - not too much truffle! - panna cotta al caramello 8/10 - tiramisu 9/10 - bottle of Nebbiolo wine 10/10 Inside is a lovely vibe. A surprising amount of seating on the main floor and the loft, which we saw some groups there. Would definitely return! Cost was $120 before tip for a three course meal and bottle of wine for two! read more

The vibe and ambiance is great. They can host large parties and they don't require a credit card for the reservation. The piano player and the lighting create a nice atmosphere. The issue is the food. It's not bad but it's not great - it also doesn't not look very appetizing - there's no vibrancy or creativity at all. To add on to that, some dishes are extremely salty. I would recommend a cocktail and MAYBE an appetizer. Dinner is just not worth it. read more

it was..... ok. the restaurant itself is super cute and lots of space and beautiful tall windows, but food was just ok. we got the soup of the day which was butternut squash. it was very average, came out lukewarm and didnt have anything outstanding about it, they did give quite a large amount of it. we also got the cheese plate, which was actually kind of a funny dish, it had 3 little pita chip like crisps and two small wedges of cheese and a spoonful of a fruit jam? it was ok. for entrees we got the lasagna, it tasted ok, not bad but not special, but the pasta layers were maybe overcooked so it was just one mushy slice. we also got the truffle butter pasta, and the truffle flavor was strong but slightly oversalted, and it really was just tryffle butter and pasta, it probably couldve used some protein or veggies of some sort. for dessert we got the flourless hazelnut and chocolate cake, which was again, just ok. the tiramisu was good though. for the price, i think i expected a little bit more. read more

Came here with a group of friends on a Saturday evening and it was busy but not crowded. The space itself was great for a meal, and it was easy to hold a conversation without having to raise my voice. Food wasn't great tbh. Much of the pasta was too salty, and the other entrees we got, fish and steak, were well cooked, but not very special. Like, I could have probably gone to the store and bought a nice filet of salmon or a nice steak and made something similar. Nothing stood out at this place, nothing that made me think that it was necessarily worth coming here beyond the ambiance and service. It would be better served as a bar or lounge, in all seriousness. Actually though, change to small plates and keep the cocktail menu. I'm not a business owner, but man really everything but the food was good, which begs the question: is this actually a restaurant if they can't get food down super well? What is a dining establishment sans food? Dining clearly has more going for it than just food, but I really don't know what a restaurant would be without it. Anyway, you can probably make just as good if not better italian food at home, but you can't necessarily eat it with a number of friends on a nice night in cap hill. Unless you have a large dining room in cap hill. read more

One of ours to go places for any celebration. The ambience is so nice and warm, but elegant, sometimes they have amazing pianists playing, and the menu often changes, so you always get to try new things. The staff is also incredible nice.

We were very excited to try La Spiga, but sadly, our meal left us quite underwhelmed. My fiancé and I had a reservation at 7pm on a Saturday, and were seated right away in the upstairs loft area. Our waitress was lovely and was quick to check on us and bring us menus. We decided to order the prosciutto (half board) appetizer to start. This was probably one of the more sad looking appetizers I have ever ordered in the Seattle area. It came with about 4 or 5 warmed pita slices in a bag, some prosciutto slices and a little side of mustard. It was very plain and the presentation was disappointing. This is something I could have made at home. For our entrée we split the Filetto (beef tenderloin), tagliatelle al ragu and tagliatelle al burro di tartufo. The star of the show was the ragu. It was a very fresh tasting sauce and my fiancé and I both enjoyed it. I had high hopes for the truffle tagliatelle, but it really just tasted like buttered noodles with hints of truffle (even with the shaved black truffle add-on). In last place, came the beef tenderloin. Although it did have some good flavor, it was overcooked and the mashed potatoes had virtually zero flavor. I will say that the ambience was lovely. The bar area is beautiful and the restaurant has an open and airy feel to it. However, we will likely not be returning based on the overall experience. read more

Came back to this spot after a year or more away . Used to come here years ago and loved everything about the experience The bartender was on his phone texting most of the time I sat at the bar for dinner . My drink was empty and I had not ordered dinner yet and the salad had not come yet but he hadn't been back to even ask if I needed anything Horrible service . Won't be back . The food isn't good enough here to put up with bad service . The Food took forever to come out , the gnocchi was mushy . Waaaay overcooked . The flavor was bland tomato sauce . The whole experience was honestly just bad . Reminds me that going out to dinner isn't really the same as what it used to be . It takes a lot to keep a restaurant a place people want to come back to and this place used to be that. Not anymore ... maybe work on the kitchen and customer service . read more
