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.

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.

Thai Curries, Miso Soups, and vegetarian patty burgers are expected to make the rounds on the menu card. If you find yourself in the Frelard area, Goose's Gambit will be worth a stop.

I was 100% sure that I would look like an idiot trying to recreate a delicacy that is made with such grace. Tracy made it easy and fun for us to enjoy ourselves while making some outstanding sushi. Everything is set up to be foolproof (for the most part, I still found a way to mess a few things up), so you don't have to worry about it. You'll be interacting with others who are making things for the first time, and are just looking for a different type of date night. Tracy was also teaching us methodology and science behind why sushi is made a certain way in Japanese culture, even going as deep as helping us prepare rice to a certain temperature before using it. And it's good that they make the process simple here, because you're making your own dinner at the end of the night. The sushi class is a fun one, because you eat as the night goes on. You start off by making a couple hand rolls, then some another sushi course (blanking on the name), and end up making a massive sushi cake as the final dish, something I have never even seen or heard of before. I love what the pantry is doing for the community by having these cooking classes, and I can't wait to get back in here to try some more.
