I suggest trying their classic Lasanga Casalinga too; lovely besciamella sauce layers with generous amount of freshly-grated Parmigiano. Yum!

I was pleasantly surprised about their wide offering of gluten-free pastas and it was so cool to see all of them neatly packaged. From adventurous flavors like curry-flavored to classics like black garlic and olive oil. There is a flavor for everyone.

Take the time to walk around and know their team is there to (literally) answer any and all your questions. It was a nice stop and I'm glad I swung by to pick up a few things.

Not only was everything absolutely delicious, the presentation was gorgeous. The colors were so vibrant and every plate looked almost too pretty to eat... almost. The staff was fantastic too! Super knowledgeable, friendly and gave us some great recommendations. And the lasagna??? BB... it literally melted in your mouth. I swear every bite somehow tasted even better than the one before it. I don't know what kind of magic they're putting in there, but I'm still thinking about it! Beautiful space, amazing food, great service. The Pink Door is definitely worth a visit when you're in Seattle!

I got the popular lasagna, and it was so good but very small. The cioppino was the perfect size and the bread it came with was perfect for dipping. So delicious, I highly recommend! The cake was kinda hard so not the biggest fan, it did taste good but it didn't seem as fresh as it could've been and it didn't really taste like basil.

This place is more of a fast-casual pasta spot than a traditional sit-down restaurant, which I…read moreactually liked. 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.

And considering the Pike Place location, I thought the takeaway menu was surprisingly reasonably priced. We got two large Mac & Cheeses. We'd also grabbed some takeaway from another Pike Place spot, and were glad we had--the "large" macs really aren't all that large. The mac and cheese was good, but honestly, if I went back, I think I'd skip it and grab a couple of their more interesting cheeses and some good bread instead. With that whole cheese counter sitting right there, that seems like the more exciting way to do Beecher's.

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!

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!

Unfortunately, the food did not hit right. Here's what we ordered: Appetizer: Crispelle - Crespelle filled with taleggio & fig mostarda with roasted figs and walnuts: Tasted like a crepe filled with brie - just OK. Primi: Tajarin con burro e salvia - Fine hand-cut egg yolk pasta with cultured butter and sage. I see the potential but someone was heavy handed with the salt so it ruined whatever flavors were supposed to come through. Secondi: Salmone reale - Pan-roasted king salmon with sauteed chanterelles, crimini brodo and thyme oil. Again, could have been really great but the mushrooms & sauce were overly salty. I think I read another review that captures my sentiments . . . perhaps whoever was the chef that night fell short. I specifically asked if the head chef Stuart was there and they said no.

You'll absolutely leave with leftovers.

Overall, a really fun dinner spot in Belltown and I'd definitely come back.

I would recommend a reservation on the busier nights as Tavolàta doesn't seat all that many people!
