   Such a lovely night and dining experience all the way around. Food and drinks were absolutely exceptional. Service - wonderful: attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance…lovely, but just a bit chilly by the front door. Looking forward to returning soon.

   I have eaten at Spinasse several times when visiting Seattle, with each visit being very enjoyable (which is why I have returned.) I recently ate at Spinasse again and, while the food was outstanding as usual, the overall experience was awful due to my seat and the chaos around me. I was dining alone, as I often do, and was offered either a table or a seat at the counter/bar when I arrived for my reservation. I requested the counter/bar, which I often prefer as opposed to a solo table. I was seated at the last seat in a wrap around counter/bar, which happened to be 2-3 feet from the station where all food orders were left for the waitstaff. There was constant coming and going (as would be expected) with servers and staff passing by me with maybe 6-8 inches clearance, with "right behind you with glasses", "take to table 102", "excuse me, coming thru" the entire time I was dining. It was completely off-putting for a dining experience that I had been looking forward to for several weeks. I would suggest that Spinasse take the particular seat out of service, or at a minimum warn the diner that they are seated in a high traffic area and will experience frequent interruptions.

   A very lovely evening with a gentle and attentive server and delicious Italian dishes. Glasses of soft Barbera and Dolcetto with complimentary crostini col burro ed acciughe to start. Then the three of us enjoyed an antipasto of sausage-stuffed cipollini, followed by a crab risotto and their handmade tajarin al ragu, and un secondo of polpette di coniglio con un contorno of broccoli. No room for birthday dessert, but a sweet penguin holding a lit birthday candle was brought as a touching finale. The dining room is beautiful. Tutto buonissimo. Complimenti. Thank you. <3

   It is hands down one of the best (if not the best!) restaurants in Seattle. We got the tasting menu and tried EVERYTHING! I don’t really like pasta but the pasta at Spinasse easily makes my top 5 favorite food list.

   Food was great! Had to make a reservation a month in advance. Only issue was that I had put in that it was my mother’s 68th birthday, and they sat us next to the door. It was so cold. As someone who was a hostess, I would typically seat birthday guests in a more desirable area. Other than that, fantastic place.
