The open kitchen area

Pizza and Pasta Bar in the Pike Place Market is a great place tucked inside a narrow entryway in Post Alley, It is located right next to Pike Place Chowder which seems to always have a long line of customers outside. If that line is intimidating or wet (think rain!) then duck inside to Pizza and Pasta Bar for a delicious meal. While there we met the owners Bruno and Goli who were helping out behind the counter. They are the nicest people ever! So friendly and accommodating and always smiling. Their pride in their restaurant really shows in their care of the food and customers. I had the infamous meatball sandwich and my wife had the chicken carbonara. They gave us each a slice of their pizza for free as they had a bit extra from one that just came out of the oven. The food was prepared in front of you which is always interesting to watch and the charming brick pizza oven was directly in front of us so we could watch that process as well. Pretty cool. There are a wide variety of pizzas and pastas, desserts and drinks (alcohol too!) available on the menu. We ate at at the bar and had a wonderful conversation with the owners as they bustled about in the open cooking area. I enjoyed my meatball sandwich which had great crunchy crusty bread that held in the contents of melted cheese, red sauce and meatballs. A great choice to get when there. My wife liked her chicken carbonara and as the portion was pretty large, we were able to take some home for later. Extra yummy for me (ha ha)! The complimentary pizza slices were a hit for us as well. Napoli style with thin crust and flavorful toppings. We found out that Goli created the restaurant's design with the face of a woman that looks a lot like Venus in "The Birth of Venus" painting by Botticelli in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence Italy (just sayin'). Except that this logo has hair made of pasta! Good enough to eat! Give this place a try. You'll leave with a big smile on your faces!

Can get real pricey pretty easily but the quality makes up for that. This restaurant is a staple in the area and definitely a must-try. The food is made fresh and warm! The service is super friendly!

BEWARE of 20% service charge for parties over 2!! We were visiting Pike Place Market, we were STARVING, and in the mood for Italian food. We quickly dropped into this restaurant, ordered a VERY expensive pizza (46.00), a beer and a fountain drink. As I recall, our bill was just under $70.00, excluding a tip. When I looked at the receipt after ordering, I saw that we were charged a 20% service charge. So the pizza was "decent" but worth about 24.00 in reality, and the service charge was a complete surprise, although it is posted on the bottom (small print) of their menus, so, bottom line, our bad but I'm posting my review as a warning. Had we known about the service charge we would have chosen differently. I don't want to bash this place but...in reviewing our other restaurant receipts, we did not encounter this charge at any of our other stops while in Seattle. Giving the employees five stars. They were all very pleasant, but seemed stressed,

The food was actually pretty good (spaghetti and meatballs), but the service was a little weird and rude. We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs at the counter and were asked if we wanted to eat in (there was nobody sitting at any of the tables) or get it to-go. We said to-go, but then changed our minds and told the person at the cashier that we wanted to eat inside instead. Then she said "No, you cannot eat here. You said you wanted it to-go." ???

Basically a hole in the wall tourist trap in downtown Seattle at Pikes market. Food was basic. Definitely not worth the price. $120 bucks for two for lunch. Was shocked that they charged a 20% service fee to pay for overhead. Not like it's a fancy place. Only 2 people working. Don't waste your time.

Penne with Chicken

Incredible vibe equally is good food, but Husband and Wife do a working together and absolutely care about the people and the food quality of what's happening at this establishment. A must go to.

Best find! Super friendly owner and staff. The wait wasn't long. You order first and then they assign you a table. We got a large pizza, half Pike Place Market and half Meat Lover. So delicious! The side salad was big enough to share. Highly recommend stopping here. FYI- They do not have slices for sale.

Great place with amazing food and I'm assuming an awesome owner! Very friendly! Engaging while you eat some awesome foods. I'm not from here from the Bay Area but count this place looking so good and smelled amazing so I had to go check it out! Plus the owner is a boss who clearly loves good music and good moral values! He loved my Beanie! Go here if you're in pikes place market.

Good Italian food. My husband liked the meatballs. My pesto penne was good. Nice quick meal.

Food was good. Meatballs were delicious. Pest penne was good. I had a glass of wine. It's a nice spot for a quick meal.

We stopped in yesterday on a whim there are so many places to chose from and we figured you can't go wrong w pasta and pizza. But a few things that I can say was they charge A 20'percent fee to eat your food there? I have never heard of that so of course opted to get it to go. The Girls paid average of $30 for a lunch. But they were served cold pasta dishes in very small To go portions and $8 for mini bread as a side Just super disappointed in the food, the quality portion and the fee

Food is good. But be aware of 20% auto gratuity added, service fee and an option to pay a tip on top of that.

We had to stop by and try Salumi in Pioneer Square. This old-school sandwich shop has been around…read morefor decades and has that classic, no-frills feel, with counter seating and straightforward, seriously delicious sandwiches. Everything about it feels authentic and unfussy. Great sandwiches, great atmosphere, and definitely worth a stop if you're in Pioneer Square.

I usually engage with someone at a restaurant snd ask for their advice or input when deciding what to order. Salumi is countertop screen or online order only. Staff are focused on making your sandwich and are available to answer questions, but the place gets very crowded and this won't always be possible. I love eggplant parmigiana and was delighted that the sandwich came with a (warm!) cup of marinara. The marinara was a generous portion, a tad spicy, and I soaked up every drop. The sandwich roll was good, average. The toppings were tasty, and sufficient. The eggplant itself was a bit disappointing. The breading was perfectly crispy and light, but the eggplant was sliced so thinly that it was almost an eggplant flavored chip instead of the customary meaty texture. The balance was just off, unfortunately.. Recommend ordering online because this place gets crowded during the lunch rush.

This restaurant is truly worth the hype! I definitely recommend reserving your table well in…read moreadvanced. While I was seated for my table at 6, I overheard people trying to get a table as a walk in and wait times were a couple hours long. We got their antipasto misto della casa where you get four of their antipasta and well worth it to try a little bit of everything. We don't go to fancy restaurants all that often, so definitely go for it! We got their staples, their two pastas: tajarin con burro e salvia and tajarin al ragu both half portions. I thought I would like their ragu more, but I absolutely loved their butter and sage so much more. It was perfectly salted and layers of flavors. Maiale Brasato Al Latte was the other main course and it was hearty and flavorful. It was actually hard to finish this meal affter the antipasto and pasta! They finished of our meal with a candle and apparently it's given to couples celebrating anniversaries to create an ambience and making a wish as a couple!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I read about…read morethis place prior to our trip into Seattle. I tried for two weeks make reservations, with no luck. Finally a Monday night at 930 became available, I immediately grabbed it. They had a cancellation and actually called me see if I wanted an earlier reservation, which of course I jumped on that too. Appreciated they made the call and whoever cancelled. The ambiance gave old school and new school Italian vibes. The service from walking in to leaving was 5 star. Everyone was friendly. Our server was very attentive, and he was very thorough with explaining dishes and making recommendations. They started us off with complimentary rabbit pate on a crosstin with balsamic drizzle and fresh bread. The rabbit pate was very good. We started off with some cocktails, The paper plane, negroni, espresso martini and bello bandito. No complaints there. For food we tried the Insalata di cicoria - Chicory salad. It was topped with gorgonzola crumbles and pomegranate seeds. The salad was paired perfectly as the Chicory is on the bitter side. Next up was the Tajarin con burro E salvia, which was a fine hand cut egg yolk pasta with cultured butter and sage. I love you can order half or full plates. This pasta was velvety, and full of flavor. I normally do not like a thin pasta, but I loved this one! Risotto di mais was up next. This was a risotto with fresh corn and tomato butter, this was by far the best risotto I have ever had. We only ordered a half, but my next visit would be a full! The flavors all shined through. You could taste everything with each bite, the Parmesan, tomatoes butter, sweetness from the corn. All the food was amazing, but this was by far my favorite bite! Protein we went with the trota con fagioli, pan seared trout with salsa fagioli and carmalized onions. The salsa fagioli was a creamy white bean like sauce. The fish was pan seared perfectly with great flavor. Loved it, skin and all. Ended the meal with a decadent torta al cioccolato, chocolate cake with gianduja moose, chocolate buttercream, hazelnut brutti ma buoni and luxury cherries. I am not a dessert eater, although this looked amazing, I didn't try it, BUT my dinner companions loved it. I would never come back to Seattle without getting reservations here!
