    We always grab pasta (and blood orange vinegar) when we're at the market. There really isn't a bad choice (except the chocolate pasta, not sure if anyone actually buys that). We tried their red curry orzo last weekend and were blown away by the flavor and heat. The cold salad recipe they gave with it was a hit at our house. A must visit for anyone in Seattle!

    Garlic Chive Seashells, Italian Pesto Blend, and Lemon Parsley Mafeldine.  Just three among dozens of choices.

    There are some lessons which can't be taught, regardless how willing the student to learn, or the professor to teach. No one can prepare you for healing a broken heart, English food, or how to give stellar customer service. You got it, or you ain't. Where I grew up (Montana), it seems getting over a man is devastating---but only for a week or two. The right one is there, somewhere. Be patient. English food in Montana? Nah. We know how to cook without boiling everything to death, how to season food, and how to make a sauce or gravy (it's all in the roux-hoo-hoo, y'know). And as for customer service in Montana, if you buy something there you haven't had before, the kid behind the counter will explain the process patiently, perfectly and with a smile. And offer to come cook it for you. While still smiling, a mouth that looks like the entrance to an igloo. In Seattle, a city known for its amazingly polite freeze between strangers, finding someone who earns their wage by providing excellent customer service is like looking for the sailor on an aircraft carrier who shoves off a virgin and returns to port in the same condition. If you want to experience the rarity, the absolute pleasure, of exchanging money for pasta, head yourself to Pike Place Market and find Pappardelle's Pasta. It's exactly 45 paces from the main entrance to the market, opposite the fishmongers. It's also the tidiest, cleanest and most-organized of stalls in the market. That alone makes shopping there worth the trip through the skyscraper-lined caverns of Seattle worth the trip. Once there, you'll find pasta of almost every shape, composition and color imaginable, each one unique in its responsibility of attracting and carrying a specific sauce. If you're not certain which does what, the people behind the counter will happily assist (are they all from Montana?). This brings me to the subject of the review: stellar customer service. Young man Gozi had people gathered around the Pappardelle stall when I arrived. I kept my six feet away, waiting for them to make their selections. Then it was my turn. Gozi greeted me with a smile that, while not visible behind the mask, was obvious in his voice. He wasn't there to sell me anything; he was, if anything, a guide for people wanting to move their pasta experience beyond de Cecco and other national brands. All I wanted was something to hold a cheese sauce for my Thanksgiving side dish. Gozi presented all the best options, and recommended the Garlic Chive Seashells. From there, he pointed out the different shapes and colors of the Italian Pesto Blend. Sure. Two, please. Finally, the Lemon Parsley Mafaldine was staring me in the face, and was new to me. "It's our best-seller", says Gozi. "Who am I to impede tradition?", says me. With each selection, Gozi pulled pre-printed recipes for each pasta for me, and provided his own perceptions of them. What he has is magic, a "he-must-be-born-with-it" ability to treat every person he meets as he would people he'd see at the Thanksgiving table (on a normal year). Impeccable. Gozi, from which town in Montana did you come?! The transaction completed, I was given my receipt, and I offered my assessment of the entire seven minutes I was at Pappardelle's: "If I could bottle your enthusiasm and customer service skills and sell it in the stall next to this one, I'd be a billionaire." This time, a laugh, another radiant smile, and off I went to get a sauce from de Laurenti's, cheese from Beecher's and a crusty Italian baguette from Three Sisters Bakery. Sure, I could get any of those at the Fred Meyer store close to my home, and there's nothing wrong with the mass-marketed national brands. But the people at Pike Place Market, including Papparedelle's Pasta are The Little Folks we should be patronizing at every opportunity---particularly now, when they need us as much as we need them. Really, though, what I got today was my wallet seduced by incomparable customer service, and my personal commitment (if only to myself) to return in future. Thanks, Gozi, for helping me part with $24.50 (plus tip) as easily as if I were on a bicycle, and falling off of it. I'll return, no question about that. I'll need pasta sometimes, but when I do, I'll need customer service like yours, each and every time. Go to Pappardelle's Pasta at Pike Place Market. Try the Lemon Parsley Mafeldine. Both that pasta and Pappardelle's---and Gozi's skills---will be your new tradition. And tell 'em Jeph Sent you.

    every imaginable flavor...yes, even Lavender!

    I've hauled a few things back to Hawaii from my last booty call to Pappardelle's and I all I can say is that I'm a fan for life as long as anything doesn't change: - great service! Despite the insane Pike Place Market crowd the Pappardelle staff is able to man the front lines and help everyone who walks up to their stall in a timely manner! - amazing selection of oils and pasta! Where else can you pair a Lavender Fettucine with a selection of amazing oils? I purchased Hot Hot Hot! oil and Blood Orange Oil but haven't have the chance to pair them with the Spicy Thai or Lemon Pepper Linguine that I've purchased...yet. I'm always going to come back to Pappardelles and since they have an online store, may consider that as well to get my fix.

    They sell the OMG vinegar. Well I got the OMG truffle oil last time I was here. Have to say I loved it. They also sell pasta. But I am not a big fan of cooking at home so didn't pick up any. I did sample a bit. I mean good in flavor. Service was pretty good. If you check in on yelp there is a 20% discount on pasta. I showed to the woman and she forgot to ring it in. :-( so sad. But for me to go back and try to reverse it is too troublesome. So I left it.

    Each pasta is listed with wine pairings and recipes!  Vegan pastas too!

    Incredible! Perhaps my favorite stop in all of Pike Place Market! Perhaps this is what heaven looks like for pasta lovers such as myself! (Insert all the heart eye emojis here) Over 86 kinds of dried pastas alone and that's not including the fresh-frozen tortellini, gnocchi and ravioli they also offer!!! All shapes, sizes and unique flavorful varieties....lemon pepper, black bean chipotle, Spanish saffron, artichoke basil, porcini, extreme habanero, goan curry, lavender, Venetian calamari, orange Szechuan stir fry, spicy Thai, sweet potato, red onion, Tunisian Harissa and even an orange and dark chocolate for Halloween! It is very difficult to narrow down which to chose so we purchased a bunch of small batches of a few for our first time. If you have kiddos, don't miss a chance to get one of the chocolate varieties!! My girls chose raspberry dark chocolate!! It's suggested to be served as a dessert, hot on top of ice cream!! They are all incredibly flavorful it's almost sacrilegious to add anything on top but a simple oil. They do however sell dozens of sauces and pestos and each pasta is listed with wine pairings and recipes! They even have vegan, gluten free, high protein/low carb, spelt, whole wheat, oat and flax, and ancient grain pastas!!! Not only can you sample the pasta here, but they sell balsamic and olive oils also and have samples of them also! I was blown away by the porcini! So fragrant! The guys here were all so incredibly kind, friendly and efficient! It was a marvelous stop! This made a perfect souvenir to take back home!! Don't forget your 20% with Yelp check in! I was so thrilled to find out they ship also!! 2 day Ground! Pappardelle's Shipping Cost: Dry Pasta:1-4 units - $95-8 units - $109-12 units - $1113-16 units - $1217-20+ units - $13 Fresh-Frozen Products (there is a 4 unit minimum for fresh-frozen products):4-7 units - $218-14 units - $4215-21 units - $6322-28 units - $84

    I was strolling through Pike Place Market and someone from Pappardelle's Pasta offered me a chocolate pasta to try- it was unique! Apparently you can cook the pasta and top it with whipped cream, strawberries, etc. I ended up buying half a pound of the rosemary garlic linguine, which is their most popular, for $6! When I lived in Florence, the best and fresh pasta was always the ones at the market that I can take home and cook myself. So it was nostalgic to be able to buy pasta from a stand. I cooked it al dente, used something similar to a vodka creme sauce, and cooked some shrimp, mushrooms, spinach and cherry tomatoes to go with it. Grated some Parmesan and it was delicious. Half a pound feeds two adults, but I definitely could've bought a whole pound for another meal later on. I loved how colorful and beautiful the display was, hopefully I can try other flavors next time I'm there!

    Attention all foodies... you want to stop at this place. If you're like me, and you LOVE pasta, you will find this place to be a little piece of heaven like I did. They had every pasta you can imagine, and ones you never thought of.. TONS of unique flavors like chocolate raspberry, spicy thai, lemon parsley, hatch chile, basil garlic, and more. I went nuts and bought like 6 bags. They sell the pasta by the pound, and will even let you sample the pastas dry. The cards that describe the pasta were super helpful, they provided suggested wine pairings, notified you if they were vegan, and listed suggested recipes. They also give you recipe cards with each pasta you buy. I am so excited about the flavors I purchased and cannot wait to make these!

    This is the coolest pasta I have seen! They are so creative! I am so excited when I first saw the chocolate pasta. The people are very nice and enthusiastic. It feels like they enjoy their job a lot. They also sell very good oil for pasta and bread.

    Pasta lover here!!!!! Very friendly service at this pasta stand in the market-able to walk up and try pasta and/or oils. Ask them what the best selling pasta is!! It currently is the rosemary garlic linguine-and I can see why-SO TASTY!!!! They're very eager to help you pick a pasta for you and even recommend a recipe for it.

    Grace N.

    A huge buffet of different artisan pastas, olive oils and vinegar. They sell the pastas at $6 per half pound and you can taste the uncooked pasta before purchasing. Huge samples of olive oil and vinegar to taste as well. Staff are super friendly and they will even give you a print out of a recipe that will go with the pasta that you purchase.

    I came here on early Sunday afternoon for the first time. It was a little busy but ordering was…read morequick and our pasta didn't take too look to come out. We did find seating and there is seating in the restaurant portion, as well as down the stairs. It's a cute little place in the heart of pike place. We got the lasagna casalinga, from the farm, and from the sea pastas. Lasagna casalinga: I love lasagna but I've never had a white sauce lasagna before. I really loved this and I loved it a lot more than I expected. It has peas, sausage, and mushrooms, made with in house bechamel sauce. I thought this might feel super heavy and rich since it was a cream sauce but it wasn't! It was creamy without the feeling of being "too much" when eating it! That's always my worry whenever I eat cream pastas or sauces, that I can only eat a few bites and then feel full bc it the richness. The mushrooms, pea, and sausage worked so nicely into the flavoring of the lasagna and the sausage was flavorful and seasoned well. I believe it's a pork sausage which in my option always tastes great. From the farm: this was my absolute favorite! I always lean towards ragu or bolognese sauce, it's my favorite dish because the flavors become so pronounced during the cooking process. This was a bison ragu with perfectly al dente rigatoni. The bison wasn't gamey and pair so nicely with the ragu because it was able to get in all the crevices of the pasta. We opted for burrata as a topping which gave a really nice creaminess From the sea: this was a spaghetti with rockfish, pea vines, leeks, and harissa. The pasta felt a little Asian inspired, in Chinese cooking we steam whole rockfish and pea vines are a very common veggie dish, so I loved that the elements made me think of my culture. The harissa also gave it a spicy kick which was reminiscent of having chili oil or chili paste on the side at dimsum. While I loved the flavors of this it wasn't my favorite because it was a bit too light. I really wished the flavors were bolder and more pronounced. Rockfish/white fish is very mild fish so the taste is very dependent on the flavors you add to it. However if you like light flavors and fish that isn't too fishy, this is great! This is a really fresh dish so even though it wasn't my favorite doesn't mean it's not a great pasta! I can't wait to come back to try the next rotation of pastas!

    This place has been in my bookmark for awhile and finally got to try it. It's not hard to find but…read moregot confused a bit to find it at the beginning. There weren't a lot of people that day, we had the whole place to ourselves. The guy who took our order had so much patience to explain each pasta. I got the from the sea and my husband got Pomodoro. I really liked my husband's pasta and it was so fresh! It cooked al dente and the pasta sauce seasoned so perfectly. My husband never a huge fan of al dente and he loved this place so much! He still talking about this place and won't stop talking about it. Mine of the other hand was okay; the taste is kinda odd to me, and it's kinda too salty for my liking. The fish were so small, like tiny pieces, I wish its bigger. My personal favorite of my dish is the Al dente part and the pea vine. Other than that mine was meh. The whole place is sooo cute and definitely a cute date spot!!!

    We were lured over to Due' Cucina after having a fantastic experience with their fresh porchetta…read moresandwiches at the Camp Yelp event earlier this month. Fatty and tender meat, dripping with juices, on top of the perfect focaccia with an ideal crunchy fried crust and airy interior, not to mention the excellent marinated eggplant, tender and filled with tangy vinegar essence. I couldn't wait to give their actual restaurants a try, and that's where we found ourselves over the rainy weekend. This particular location is open and clean with extremely friendly staff. Ordering is really easy on the 3 kiosks in the front, although the pasta chef/cashier is also happy to take orders, offer suggestions, and help with any questions. The menu displays the level of al dente to expect with each type of pasta but can be adjusted in the order notes. They also have a very convenient monitor up near the kitchen that displays order status, whether in the preparation phase or complete. I especially love how this restaurant has bar seating in front of the fresh pasta making station. We were able to watch as the chef mixed up a batch of fresh spaghetti, measuring out the semolina flour and water (at least, that's all I saw her add to the combo mixer-extruder), preparing the die, and then extruding the pasta. And yes, as with any high quality pasta, they use bronze dies for extrusion here! The pasta is dried on racks for a bit to really give that al dente bite when cooked. Suppli Al Telefono ($3.70) - An order comes with a single piece nestled in a mini fry basket. This is somewhat similar to the more commonly seen (in the US at least) arancini. It's a smaller log-shaped fried croquette, with tender rice cooked in a fragrant tomato based sauce, stuffed with tons of gooey, stretchy cheese, and then deep fried to golden perfection. The breading is fantastically crunchy, contrasting against the much softer interior. It's a great pairing of texture and flavor. (5/5) Short Ribs Ragu w/ Fusilloni ($14.90) - The chef recommended the fusilloni with the ragu. The fusilloni, essentially a larger fusilli that has longer "fins", has plenty of spirals and crevices to catch onto the sauce. The extrusion is a little inconsistent, with some pieces being longer than others and others being more spirally, a sign of manual hand cutting rather than being machine sliced. Per the menu, the fusilloni is cooked until a "2" al dente level. This is actually more al dente than most Italian restaurants, meaning the pasta has a very firm bite, yet remains slightly chewy. It's definitely cooked through and pleasant to eat, although trending towards the too al dente side. The pasta is only lightly sauced, but what sauce there is clings perfectly onto the micro rough surface of the pasta. Each bite is consistent in taste with all the rich umami and tangy notes from the red wine tomato sauce. The parmigiano reggiano adds an additional burst of savory saltiness and the short rib, rendered perfectly tender, is given in enough quantity to satisfy. Due Cucina really does serve some great pasta. (5/5) Rustic Porchetta Sandwich ($11.90) - With how great the porchetta sandwich was at Camp Yelp, this is a disappointment. The porchetta, while still flavorful with somewhat anise-like and garlicky aromas, is completely dried out and tough. It's like the pork had been pre-sliced in the morning at a central kitchen, shipped to the restaurant, then placed in a dry heat tray for service. After the meal I confirmed my suspicions with the chef - the porchetta is prepared off site and and driven over every morning. The focaccia, so airy and crisp at Camp Yelp, is also subpar in store. It's floppy, completely saturated with oil, yet feels dried out on the interior. At least the eggplant hasn't degraded in quality too much. While still having a bite (e.g. not super tender), it's grilled and marinated until tangy and savory in a vinaigrette. Interestingly they serve the sandwich on top of a bed of lettuce tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette. The oils in the sandwich drip down while eating to add even more flavor. (3/5) I know that their porchetta is high quality when fresh, but I think the way they have it set up now makes a sandwich that's still tasty, but definitely could be much better. If they choose to open a specialty sandwich shop that roasts the porchetta in house, I'd definitely be a regular. With Due' Cucina, though, I'd stick with the excellent pasta. At the end of the day, pricing is very reasonable. For less than $40 after tax/tip, we both left satisfied. What a rarity for Seattle nowadays. And as a bonus, apparently they refresh the menu often. According to the chef, starting on Monday, Due Cucina will be introducing new pasta shapes, sauces, and different sandwiches. I'll be back for more pasta in the near future!

The short rib ragu and bolognese were 2x pasta to sauce, which was surprisingly dry given they were swimming in oil. Pasta is obviously homemade and tasty.

There is local honey, wine, meats, tamales, cheese, fresh pasta they make themselves, pantry items and canned goods like St. Jude's tuna. Plus Sweet Alchemy ice cream! I grabbed a jar of pickled asparagus and had to resist buying some really tempting dip they make in-house. As I was checking out, the staff person mentioned that the Tall Grass baked goods in the case were free because they were two days old and would be replaced the next morning by a fresh batch. So nice! I brought home a savory spinach breakfast item with me, which my partner greatly appreciated. Hint: Make sure you have cash on hand for a tip! They can't include tips on card purchases.

    Grabbed an 8 oz mac and cheese…read more It's simple, but done really well. The cheese is rich and sharp with a deep flavor, and the pasta is cooked just right so it stays creamy without turning mushy. It has that slightly baked finish on top that adds a nice texture. Portion was perfect for a quick bite, but it's filling for what it is. You can also see them making cheese in the shop, which adds to the whole experience. The place gets busy, but the line moves fast and the staff keeps things organized. Everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely one of those must try spots when you're at Pike Place.

You can literally see the staff working diligently and efficiently to make the wonderful fresh goodness! Fortunately we came at the perfect timing. Kudos to the front staff for making the line go by smoothly! Their menu is simple and straight forward, which I like! They also have merch and free samples of their flagship cheese that day...so good! Don't remember if I saw seating inside, but you can enjoy your yummies with the view of the water nearby. It's no wonder why this place is a local and visitor favorite! I can still taste the deliciousness of Smoked Salmon Mac & Cheese...everything in it just works!! A must try folks, and get the 16oz because I didn't (*tear*). It's THAT good!!! LOL! CHEERS and happy eating till next time...

    DeLaurenti Food & Wine has been in existence since 1946, with the move to its current location at…read morePike Place Market since 1972. Three generations of the DeLaurenti family oversaw it until 2001 when three local Seattleites took over the reins for the past 25 years to date, Pat McCarthy, Matt Snyder, and Nate Plutko. I'm a Washingtonian since 1973 and have enjoyed seeing this at the corner of 1st and Pike. Numerous visits, but my most recent detour was on 2/16/26. I love gawking at the various sundries and specialty items available especially the chocolates, spices, sauces, olive oils, pasta, ad naseum. Just wander along each aisle, you'll understand and be inspired. Also, what an expansive meat and cheese case with knowledgeable staff for your charcuterie needs! Upstairs you can find a decent selection of wine and spirits and an apertivo spot to have a glass and a bite. I was full from my pasta bowl at nearby Pasta Casalinga, but was eyeing the charcuterie cone. Imagine tasty nibbles to snack on while wandering the rest of the market. Back on the main floor towards 1st Avenue, there's a busy espresso bar and where one can get an Italian panini or pizza slices to go. Highly recommended while at Pike Place Market. Buon Appetito!

Just hot enough to keep you warm but not too hot that you couldn't enjoy. Great flavoring and service! It wasn't until I walked my 4th circle around Pikes Place area that I realized they had a whole deli and grocery store behind it and a wine bar upstairs! Wish I tried some of their food but was a great experience!

    Adam our server was so kind and helped us curate our order to make our first time at Spinasse a…read morenight to remember. Our order with pictures in order: 1.) Cavatelli al guanciale; pasta with pork, garlic, and kale. A great compliment to the butter and sage pasta, the pork being so soft and flavorful. 2.) the Cavolfiore con bagna caoda; a roasted cauliflower with an anchovy sauce and lemon. Did not think that a vegetable could be the star of the show, but with that sauce, it was our favorite. Loaded with flavor, every bite was perfect 3.) Tajarin con burro e salvia; butter and sage pasta. The fine cut literally melted in your mouth, best to eat first while it's warm. This is a dish that stays year round on their menu and was highly recommended by our friends. We ordered the pastas in the half order which was perfect for 2. Your order comes with complimentary bread which you can ask for olive oil on the side for. Will definitely be back!

    We had our final dinner in Seattle at Spinasse and twas a wonderful time…read more First off, Spinasse gives Capitol Hill from the moment you enter. It's minimally furnished with just the right amount of ambient lighting. Secondly, it's Italian, but Piedmontese Italian if that means anything to you. We started with crespelle ($29) which is an Italian crepe. The version we ordered was stuffed with prosciutto and parmigiana fonduta with arugula salad. The crepe was light and airy and paired perfectly with the salty prosciutto and parm. Perfect starter. Honestly, all the pastas we ordered were absolute fire. Of the three, I liked the Tajarin Al ragù ($20/$34) the most. It's a fine hand-cut egg yolk pasta with pork and beef ragù. The pasta is so finely cut; it's delicate. What I liked best was the way the ragù sauce enveloped itself into the folds of the pasta. Each bite was cohesive and really intentional. The risotto was also quite good as well - that night, it was the risotto ai gamberi ($21/$35) which highlight spot prawns. The spot prawns were sweet and the Calabrian chili was a really nice complement to the sweet and creamy. Delish. I'm sure the risotto is great in any season. I must say - the best thing about the menu is the fact that you can order a smaller portion of any of the pasta dishes as to not have to fully commit to one. This is a superb way to eat. Live actually. Include Spinasse on any itinerary if you can.
