The vibrant, busy street corner of 1st and Pike contrasts with the long wooden counter overlooking Pike Place Market’s airy, light-filled atrium, offering a sense of community, escape, and tranquility. The food is incredible, hands down the best pasta I've ever eaten, always perfectly al dente. It's comfort food, fresh pasta with a stunning selection of locally and sustainably sourced ingredients and very flavorful sauces. Excellent lasagna and four pasta options: from the ocean, from the farm, from the garden, and classic pomodoro. The menu changes seasonally and weekly, so there’s always something new to look forward to. This place is authentically Italian meets Pacific Northwest and also has great wine. The owner is amazing and lovely and even has her own cookbook for sale. Check it out! Casual, informal, low key. Dine-in, take-out, and an icebox full of beet purée, lasagna, pasta, pesto, ragù, squash purée, and other fun stuff. I absolutely adore this spot!

Freshly made pasta. We ordered “From the farm”. It was really great, super tasty and came in big portions. As they told us, the menu is changed in every two weeks. Would definitely come back. Thanks❤️

Snug, Pike Place Market, fresh-made pasta & lunch spot. Three, curated pasta and sauce combos which change with the seasons. Choice of meat, seafood or vegetarian. Wine, water and Italian soft drinks. Mid-day meal cooked by your favorite Italian auntie. From an upper floor, Pasta Casalinga overlooks an inner Market atrium. Inspired to cook your own Pasta Casalinga plate? Buy the owner's cookbook, then purchase fresh pasta, sauces. Get local foodstuffs and ingredients from Pike Place Market shops and stalls.

Cool pasta place, very fresh, taste like premium version of Costco combo pizza in pasta which I like a lot.

Pasta is delicious!!! well served, good portions, a little pricy but it worth it.
Limited area to eat and you need to put the dishes back. Menu is small

Today I ate “From the Farm”. The pasta was cooked perfectly—so delicious! I arrived at the restaurant a little after 11 a.m., and it wasn’t too crowded—there were seats available. But around noon, it tends to get busier.
I was expecting more after reading all of the rave reviews. Seafood pasta dish was fine but nothing special. Noodles were over cooked. Sauce was bland. I was hoping for Il Corvo but it didn't deliver.

This was delicious. Tomato sauce freshly made, a bit spicy, enough pancetta. Pasta was cooked perfectly. I would still need to come back to try other dishes because everything looked very appetizing. Portions are large enough for one person if you eat a lot, or for two people. The only thing missing was a slice of bread!
It was located by the 1st AVE, two ways to get in by the avenue or close by the market. It is a small restaurant, so be aware that it does get crowded.

Got to try the From the Garden, and it was good, just like most of the reviews suggested. I probably just wish they used a bit less pepper or chili powder.
As for the From the Ocean, I didn’t really enjoy the taste because the noodles were quite dry, the caper flavor was overpowering, and the overall seasoning didn’t come together well. I ended up not finishing it, which was a bit disappointing.

Quick service, even on a busy day at the market. There is a seating area, which we were able to get a spot. The pasta is very fresh and cooked just right. Lots of flavor and the pesto was excellent.

The quality and flavor makes up for the lack of seating. Best pasta in town. You can also order to go and enjoy in the nearby public seating areas.
