Cascina Spinasse and Artusi

“We’ve been here once, the food was amazing, great customer service and they make fresh pasta daily. Recently I was out of town for work and realized I made reservation for dinner with my family here. I called them, but they didn’t answer, I left voice message and they got back to me which I missed it. They canceled the reservation for us on the day of reservation and didn’t charge me to money of no show. Appreciate that. Will definitely book this place again as I want to take my family here.”

“So simple yet so scrumptious! We were able to snag a last-minute reservation, which felt like a win. Inside is dim and intimate, and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the food. I was torn over the entire primi section, so we asked what we couldn’t leave Seattle without trying and ended up splitting both tajarins. Zero regrets. And of course, wine to go with it 🍷”

“My boyfriend took me to this restaurant for a late Valentine's Day dinner celebration. We had been wanting to try it for a while, and luckily he was able to score a reservation. Upon entering the restaurant, we were led to our table by the host, who was very kind and showed us where the bathrooms were located and where we could hang our coats. The whole ambiance was nice and cozy, and the staff seemed very attentive. When we were given the menu, I'm not going to lie, it looked very overwhelming. But after overhearing a server explain the menu to an equally confused couple, my boyfriend and I understood how to approach it. We ended up getting a couple of Negroni cocktails, the Cipollini Ripieni, and two of the pastas our server recommended, half Tajarin con Burro e Salvia and half Tajarin al Ragù. For our secondi, we ordered the Guancia di Manzo Brasata al Barolo. Everything came out in a timely manner and was absolutely delicious. The portions were perfect for the two of us. We especially loved how juicy the Cipollini Ripieni was. The pastas were also our favorites. We were thankful to have ordered half portions of each because we were already getting full before our last dish arrived. The pasta was so good, we loved the texture, and it's amazing that it's all made in house. From where we were sitting, we could partially see the chefs cooking, which was very cool. We loved the intimate dining experience. Our secondi was possibly my all time favorite dish of the night. The Guancia di Manzo Brasata al Barolo was so tender, it melted in your mouth. The purée was delicious, and the pomegranates complemented the flavors beautifully. As full as we were from all the delicious food, we still made a little room for dessert because we wanted to make sure their desserts were just as good as their savory dishes. We were debating between two options but ultimately chose the Pera Millefoglie. When the server brought our dessert, she also surprised us with the Zuppa Inglese con Mele we had been considering. She was so sweet and said it was on the house because she knew we were stuck between the two and wanted us to experience both. The desserts were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the creaminess and sweetness of each. Not only was the food an incredible experience, but we are also thankful for our server for being so attentive, as well as the other staff who promptly cleared our plates. Our water glasses were always refilled, and the table was quickly cleaned after each course. This experience was absolutely worth it. I can see why reservations are hard to get. This was possibly the best dining experience I have had in a while. We will definitely be back.”

“Was well worth the wait for a reservation to open up. We went to celebrate a birthday the day after Christmas and this was a lovely birthday dinner. Our host, Eric, made a wonderful meal an even lovelier experience with his knowledge, humor, and story telling. The ambience was cozy and homey. You could see the pasta being made if you're seated near the bar. We ended up being way too full once the night was finished since we had the Menu Degustazione experience. Most tasting menus, you'll often leave feeling a little bit hungry after. This tasting menu, we ended up having to box things to go! As Eric said, this was like... being hosted into an Italian family's home that is trying to impress you through your stomach.”

“Overall experience is a little disappointing. The pasta I have to admit is really good. The scallop dish is very flavorful. The panna cotta is good. The cabbage salad is a miss it likes a very plain coleslaw. The biggest miss is the $90 ribeye. There is really nothing special about it, the steak itself nor the sauce/flavor. Totality overpriced in my opinion.”
