We were able to snag a reservation for Spinasse about one month before our visit-even then, the times available were 5 or 9 PM. We opted for 5 PM, and were seated promptly when they opened. My husband and I ordered the Tajarin Al Ragu and it did not disappoint! Loved watched the fresh pasta in the making, and our server was fantastic. Not local to SEA, but would visit again.

If you follow me you see I'm a regular at Vendemmia. Why? Because of the excellent service and excellent food. This evening I want to mention all: the squash soup was good, As always the spaghetti pomodoro was excellent, classic, as always. If you know me I say braise meat should be like candy ... The Braised beef short ribs were some of the best candy I've ever had anywhere! Fabulous! Will be looking forward the reopening in February (They;re closed in January for renovations) Well worth any trip to get there! Top of the line Italian
