Fodor's "With the friendly service and dynamite grappa, amaro, and an Italian-focused wine selection, you likely won't mind paying the price, even if the restaurant is loud and small." Full review
Frommer's "This little hole in the wall on Capitol Hill is the most authentic-feeling Italian restaurant in Seattle." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Piedmontese cuisine is the backbone of this rustic, open-kitchen restaurant in Capitol Hill." Full review
Zagat "Chef Jason Stratton turns to the Piedmont region for inspiration at his "must-try" Capitol Hill trattoria, where "attentive" servers deliver "delicate, sublime" (and "pricey") pastas." Full review
Gayot14.0
"Spinasse's lofted ceilings and full-wall windows give it an airy feel. Rustic wood tables and lace curtains add a soft touch." Full review
Michelin Guide "Nonhern ltaly's Piedmont region is the inspiration behind Spinasse, whose housemade artisan pasta-including tagliatelle with braised pheasant and huckleberries."
Not For Tourists "Definitely occasion dining, but a meal you won't soon forget."
Condé Nast Traveler "Rabbit is a Piedmont passion, and Stratton's polpetti di coniglio—basically, meatballs made of rabbit—are a novelty. " Full review
Where "Spinasse has become known around Seattle for luscious, toothsome handmade pastas. Also expect great antipasti and meats, served family style in a warm, comforting space." Full review

Since we willingly choose to live in a place that is gray, moist, and slightly passive aggressive (and with many clouds of gnats), it’s important that you find something on this weird little isthmus that makes you feel like you’re being cuddle-puddled by a dozen hyperactive pomeranians instead of crumbling on the ground and splaying across the pavement in SAD-fueled apathy.
