Last time, we visited Pasta Caslinga an hour before closing and most of their popular pasta selections were gone. We swore to ourselves that we would come back at an earlier time at around 1pm and thank god they didn't sell out. The seating area is on a first come, first serve basis. My boyfriend lined up to get our food, while I saved us seats in the downstairs seating area. We got it to go just in case we didn't finish, but honestly could've just gotten the plates for the aesthetics. Parking around Pike Place is always going to be hard, so if you can I suggest to light rail. From the sea- handmade pasta was cooked Al dente and fresh. However, the dish was overall bland and lacking flavor. We didn't end up finishing the dish since it wasn't our favorite. (3/5) From the farm - was our favorite pasta out of the 2 we got. Their handmade rigatoni was Al dente and was coated evenly with their creamy sauce, pancetta, walnut, and ricotta cheese. (4.5/5) read more

Great spot for fresh house-made pasta! They have a weekly menu (veg option available) and a couple set options so the dish you read about might not be available when you visit, but the commonality is great pasta and fresh local ingredients. There is some seating in the restaurant but the space is pretty small and the table rotation isn't very fast. Many people (including ourselves) ended up doing to-go orders and tried to find seats in the building's general seating area. The pasta held up well though! We got a "from the ocean," "from the garden," and a pasta pomodoro. -The week's seafood pasta was a paccherri (perfectly cooked) with octopus, olives, potatoes, and capers which was really unique. Loved the balance of the flavors. -The pomodoro is super simple (just tomato sauce) but still very tasty. The tomato is bright and fresh and the dish is a great comfort meal -The veg pasta was a creste de gallo with bell pepper purée and ricotta sauce. The pasta itself was great but the taste was quite mild read more

Pasta Casalinga - Paccheri with octopus, potatoes, olives, capers (to-go) - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pasta Casalinga is a small pasta shop tucked away in Pike Place with amazing seasonal dishes. They always have a land, farm, and sea option available on their rotating menu, and this particular time I went with the sea, which was a gemelli pasta with Manila clams and butter garlic sauce. You order at the register and wait until your name is called to pick up your food. It was a bit hard to find seating, as it was a crowded Saturday, but there was a decent dining space central to Pasta Casalinga and a few other restaurants. The plate of pasta pictured ended up being $24 with tip, which is in my opinion pricey for the amount, though I do understand given the location and freshness of the seafood. I'd probably come back only if I had a visitor in town who wanted to experience an Italian meal in Pike Place. read more

Stumbled across this place when I was in DT running some errands and thought about stopping by Pikes Place to check it out. Saw some people ordering and thought it looks amazing so decided to grab some for lunch and grabbed some frozen lasagna they had in the freezer. Found out that they rotate their menus, I'm not sure how often but if you like something you've tried it might not be there the next time you visit I got the "From the Ocean" which was red sauce and muscles; very flavorful and delicious. Later on for dinner I baked the lasagna according to their instruction and it threw me off a bit. They said it was white sauce lasagna but there were a ton of peas in it and felt like it was a chicken pot pie (The family aren't a fan of peas) but I enjoy it Overall, it was a fun experience and food was delicious, and the staff members were very friendly read more

Its a decent place but the pasta was not that great. Couple of issues that I found. One- they don't have much of vegetarian options and no vegan option (only 2 choices- pomodoro and from garden). As I learned they rotate their menu every season, so maybe this season they didn't provide veg options. They also refused to make changes or customize the pasta, so it was a bit disappointing. Second - the portion size is small and price is high. Being a small place at a strip mall type building within pike place, I had expected it to be a bit affordable. Ambiance was casual. Third and probably most important- the pasta was a bit more undercooked. I have eaten al-dente pastas at other authentic Italian places, but this one was a way mote undercooked than I had expected. The beans in the pasta were also undercooked. There was nothing to talk about service because everything is self-serviced ( pick pasta from counter, and bus your table). Overall I will not return to this place to eat pasta. There are many other handmade pasta places in the city that I like better. read more

We were starving for something to eat at the Pike Place Market and we spontaneously decided to try this place out. We ordered the Pomodoro ($14) and split it between our group of 3. It was definitely enough to fill the 3 of us, although we did have a small snack before arriving. We had our served with I believe the Tortiglioni pasta, which was cooked perfectly al dente. There was also a leaf of basil at the top as garnish but it was good to pair with the sauce and pasta as well. I really liked what we got. It was very simple, but honestly that's all we really needed in order to truly appreciate all the work and ingredients that went into the dish. Service took a reasonable amount considering it was made to order. You bus your own tables and it's great that they also have a compost bin instead of just dumping everything in the trash. I just wish that there was more seating because the place was pretty full when we arrived, though we did find a lone table in the back that was secluded from the rest of the shop. read more

One of the best pasta restaurants in Seattle! This place is located inside Pike Market near the hanging giant Squid. They have a seasonal menu so you have chances to try varieties of new dishes. The one in the pic is Pomodoro Which is Pasta with San Marzano traditional tomato sauce. And Only 16$ for a huge portion (I saw couples share their dishes here all the time)but I can finish this one by myself. read more

Pasta Casalinga was recommended by Chef Brendan from one of our food tours in Seattle as one of the best in the area. I'm glad I ate here. I arrived before opening in case there was a line. From the outside I can see them making the gnocchetti which is a good sign since I know it's fresh. I ordered the "from the farm" ($18), which is the Gnocchetti Sardi Alla Campidanese. It consists of pork sausage, saffron sugo, and pecorino. Wow. Best pasta I have ever had. The gnocchetti is perfectly cooked -- soft and chewy. The sauce is amazing. Each bite was amazing and I wish I could eat more. They also had "from the ocean", which consists of seafood, and the other, "from the garden", which is obviously vegetarian. There's more on the menu, but didnt pay attention to it. There are limited seating and you clean up after yourself. There are buckets in the back for your utensils and plate. There is water in that area too. read more

This is my favorite pasta place that I have ever been to! Their pasta is always cooked perfectly. The only thing about their menu is that it constantly changes, so check out their website before you go. Although, it is always excellent. Every time I go to Pike's Place, this is my go-to. I went here last weekend and got the "from the Farm," a carbonara, which was so yummy. However, I do usually get the "From the ocean" option. This place is a perfect lunch! The only downfall to this place is that they don't have many seats, and they are only open from 11:00 am-4:45 pm. The maximum amount of people you can go to this place with is ~5 people. The service is always excellent there; they are very friendly and some my favorite people to talk to at Pike's Place. read more

Delicious lasagna. Quick and friendly service. Looking forward to trying some of their other pastas.

The reviews were right! Definitely one of the best pastas I've had. We came at an odd time on a weekday and didn't have to wait to order and we're able to find seats very easily. I don't remember the name of the pasta we got, but it changes frequently anyways. It had a tomato based sauce and bacon in it and it was just so good. The pasta had the perfect texture and the sauce was delicious. The place is very cute and we got a seat looking out to the interior of the building and since there weren't many people, it was quite relaxing. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Seattle. Pike place market parking is just awful even on a weekday. read more

This is a bit of a random review of an Italian pasta restaurant from me, as the majority of my reviews are sushi omakase places. What brought me to Pasta Casalinga is that during an omakase dinner some fellow diners had said Pasta Casalinga had the best pasta in Seattle hands down and was even better than Spinasse. What led me to take their recommendation seriously was that they were ex-pats from Europe that had traveled extensively and they spoke passionately about the place. I had always casually walked by Pasta Casalinga during past visits to Pike Place Market but never conjured up a visit until now. My first visit was in September 2024, and ever since I have been back every month when I travel to Seattle. The pictures include the seasonality of the dishes from fall to winter to spring as for some days I went back to back days trying out the farm and ocean of the month. I can definitely confirm that this is one of the best pastas I've ever had and it gives you that wow factor when you dig into your first bite. It does take a while for your dish come out, about 10-15 minutes but that is because they cook it all fresh, which makes it all worthwhile. From the braised beef to the squid ink tagliolini to the spaghetti alla chitarra anchovy, all the monthly pasta dishes provide an authentic genuine Italian experience. I've even met the owner on a few occasions and she is very delightful and humble as you'll see her behind the counter taking orders or checking on all the guests around. I feel that there are just as many tourists and local regulars that come by here. For first time visitors, eating here on a weekday will guarantee a tranquil experience on their bar seating or tables. But during the lunch rush or weekends, you can always get their pasta to go and there is plenty of seating in the lower level of the building or you could eat outside at the picnic tables of the market. Overall highly recommended as a must visit at Pike Place Market, worth the wait if there is a crazy line, very fresh and delicious pasta. read more

Don't let your first bite of seafood be at a traditional sit-down restaurant at Pike Place. Instead, let it be at a pasta place tucked in the corner of this iconic fish market. Pasta Casalinga's menu rotates on a seasonal basis, and of their four offerings I ordered the Ricciutelle with Mussels and Lemony Breadcrumbs. This dish was a fine introduction to Seattle's food scenery. When my order came out, the presentation was beautiful. Too bad that the photos don't do justice because they will never capture the spectacular aromas and taste from the pasta. The pasta had a magical chew to it and every bite was a symphony of flavors. The marinara sauce had an earthy taste of garlic and onion, and a slight kick from its red pepper flakes. These rich flavors were balanced with the acidity of the breadcrumbs and saltiness of the mussels. The total was $19, and the food was ready to eat in about 10 minutes. GO here! read more

Pasta Casalinga - Ricciutelle with Mussels and Lemony Breadcrumbs ($19). - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A quaint little pasta place in Pike Market. I chose the Farm option which quickly sold out after I purchased for lunch. Not a lot of seating but I was able to grab a table. I waited a few minutes and then my name was called for my order. The portion size was large and steaming hot! It was packed with flavors and a bit spicy with the chili flakes. I later heard someone ordered one without the spice and I may have asked for less or none had I known. I really liked the flavor but the heat did make my nose run a bit. There were crumbles of Italian sausage which were also quite good. I couldn't finish my plate sadly as I was full, but would definitely recommend. read more

Being in Seattle for the first time ever, I asked one of the Pike Place business owners this question: "When you take your break to go eat for lunch in this popular food area with so many options, what's your go to?" She instantly recommended Pasta Casalinga. Starving for decent lunch we made a beeline here to follow that advice. What it turned out to be wasn't decent, but a succinctly Italian masterpiece of a dish you wouldn't want to experiment receiving anywhere else! I know I haven't explored Seattle much yet, but I can vouch for the authenticity and heartiness of freshly made pasta and meats dressed with fresh real herbs combined to end your day's hunger, and perhaps even make your pasta dreams come true. Situated in a hidden corner of the market, you can feel like you were the only one here dining like royalty overlooking a relaxing sunlit atrium. read more

Located in another section of the Pike Place Market, this place specializes in handmade pasta in house with a rotating menu. I got the From the Ocean, and at that moment, it featured geoduck along with olives and capers. For $15, I was really hoping they gave more of the geoduck because I struggled to find any piece while mixing around the pasta. I counted maybe 6-7 super small pieces (size of 2 capers) which at that point would best be called a capers pasta. The pasta itself is flavorful and the choice of bucatini matches well with the ingredients. I had a prior experience with bucatini where it is too big that makes it hard to consume, but the size of the pasta here is just right. Unfortunately, unlike other reviews that say the pasta is perfectly cooked, mine wasn't as there were a few strands of undercooked pasta. Overlooking that, it's still a solid dish and the capers somehow work well with the sauce, and it is sufficient for a fast causal setting. The dining area seats a good number of people but is still small. There are plenty of counter seating but few table seating, so it's best to go solo or in a small group. read more

I love Pasta Casalinga! I try to eat here whenever I go to Pike Place (once every few months) since their menu always changes and it's always fresh pasta with whatever's in season. Because of that, I've never had the same pasta twice before.. but it's always been good! They have I think around 5 pastas on their constantly changing menu, for around $15 each. It's pretty reasonable given the quality and large portion sizes! Pastas are always cooked perfectly with flavorful sauces and fresh ingredients. And even though their menu is small, there's always a vegetarian one, a meat one and a seafood one.. so there's something for everyone! Service is quick too. You order at the counter, and then seat yourself. When you hear your name being called, go back to the counter to pick up your pasta. The food doesn't take too long either... and always comes out piping hot because you literally pick it up right after it's done being made. Pasta Casalinga is a fav of mine for pasta and will continue to be a restaurant I look forward to returning to again. read more

Yelp should have six stars just for this place. Phenomenal. Absolutely my recommendation for lunch or dinner in Pike Place. Don't miss the atrium. It's a cool spot and Pasta Casalinga is the star up on the second floor. We thoroughly enjoyed all of what we have, I'd name it, but the menu changes weekly, so it's unlikely what I had will be there when you visit. Don't worry about I though, it was all great, and your experience should be too! It is a 20ish minute wait, but that's not too bad, just fyi.

Sadly we arrived bit late where 3/5 dishes were already sold out, we ordered the pappardelle saffron cacio e pepe Taste 0.5/1* Pasta was very nicely cooked that it was still el dante, though sauce was very nicely seasoned, it was slightly on the salty side, sadly we did not taste much saffron, overall was tasty, balanced and with a nice chew Value 1/1* For those that love a perfectly homemade pasta, definitely recommend, just make sure to arrive early before the good dishes are sold out Service 1/1* Fast, friendly, and chill Cleanliness 1/1* Kitchen was right behind the register, clean!! Overall/Revisit 1/1* Would return to try other dishes Paying for ambience? NO Above and beyond? 1/+1* I happened to walk by and asked the cook if the cookies were free (as there were free pins beside and cookies had no price), he happily said 'no, but you can have one' read more

A hidden gem tucked away in the corner of Pike Place market -- they have a rotating menu based on what ingredients are in season and everything I've had here has always tasted fantastic. You can order at the counter and grab a table! It's a casual spot that's away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the market. The pasta is high-quality without breaking the bank and the different varieties are SO. GOOD. They have a seafood, meat, and veggie dish so there's something for everyone. I've loved the 'From the Garden' ones, which are vegetarian-friendly. They had a squash sauce and a kale pesto and both were AMAZING. This spot has become a fixture in my life, can't wait to come back! read more

Tucked away in Pike Place is this gem of a pasta house. The menu is seasonal, which means it's carefully crafted and uses in season ingredients for the finest pasta dish! If you're going in a group, highly recommend you get different dishes and share to try more items on the menu. Seating can be scarce but there are plenty of spaces nearby you can grab quickly since it's in an open space. It's simplicity of the place is quite charming. Your full attention and focus is on each bite of pasta. The flavor, consistency and aroma is making me drool as I type this. Promise you can't go wrong with anything on the menu here! read more

I'm always on the look out from some delicious Italian food, and pasta is one dish that I really enjoy! Pasta Casalinga caught my eye and upon looking at the wonderful pictures and reviews of the dishes online, I knew we had to swing by and give this restaurant a try! We went on a Saturday around lunchtime (12:45pm) and took about 5 minutes to order. The seating at Pasta Casalinga is a first come first serve type basis - when seats open up, make sure you snag it fast! There currently isn't a wait service as they will call out your name for you to pick up your food, you bus your own tables, and get your own water cups. Note that this is quite a popular spot as it is near Pike's Place market, so there will be a good amount of people wanting to enjoy some delicious pasta as well! I got the From the Farm pasta dish, which is the dish with rigatoni in a rich sauce garnished with speck, walnuts, and ricotta. This entrée is scrumptious! The cheese and speck is spread evenly and thoroughly coats the rigatoni. This dish is very filling as every bite is creamy, and you get a good complexity of flavors from the richness of the ricotta and the saltiness from the speck. As you can see in the picture, they do give you a generous portion of pasta that will leave you feeling satisfied! In the end, spent about $15 for the pasta dish - which I think is a good price given the flavors and the quantity of pasta that you receive. I would recommend you come with this restaurant a try - I myself would totally like to come back to Pasta Casalinga and try the other options in the future! (4.5 Stars) read more

I came in today with colleagues on the hunt for a new downtown pasta restaurant after the departure of a beloved downtown institution a couple of years ago. We arrived a few minutes after opening time, 11a, while the lunch crew was getting set up. There was about 6 or 8 people in front of our group of four. It was actually quicker service to roll up right after the first crunch of orders were put in. Limited seating in the restaurant area, but lots of counter seating and tables downstairs. The food - I ordered the lasagna and though I dissected the menu, did not fully realize the lasagna was made with a white sauce. TBH I've never heard of it, gasp, I know. Made with sausage, peas and mushrooms, some of my fave combos, and house made besciamella. It was savory and I liked it, though prefer a red sauce with kick (tanginess of the tomato). I did try the Bucatini all'amatriciana, guanciale, pecorino and I really liked it! The pasta was cooked to perfection, al dente (super al dente some would say) and the flavor *chef's kiss*. 10/10 recommend, though get it before they rotate it out. I also tried the seafood pasta with rockfish, fennel, capers, dill and lemon butter, but the owner of that dish added an entire scoop of chili oil for a kick (donkey kick I might add) and that's all I could taste but he said it was great. Staff were efficient and friendly. Once the lunch crew got going food started rolling out quickly. You can order, eat and be out of there in less than an hour (sooner if you aren't socializing and power eat). Check it out. Will continue to follow their IG for new menus. read more
