Anniversary dinner for two couples was outstanding. We had the prix fixe menu with wine pairings - every dish on the menu (except two) was included and all were delicious. Food preparation and service could not have been better. The wine pairings matched the food exceptionally well. Too much food for the four of us, but what we left was split up by our server, dishes boxed separately, labeled as to what was in each box, and bagged up for each couple - above and beyond what we expected. Truly a memorable meal!

Always love the opportunity to have perfect pasta served to me. They do a great job small cozy wonderful
Kathleen
Our server was very knowledgeable about wine selection and courteous- made for a wonderful experience
Cara
Craig was phenomenal. Best server ever and the fried chicken was so good my fiance almost teared up. 12/10.
Jessica
All around great experience! We make a reservation but it was more appealing to watch the chef make pasta so we sat at the bar. Great food and service. Clean, cozy and fresh ingredients!
Faye
Food and service are always amazing! Was sad that they had changed their menu that same day so an item I wanted was no longer there but it also forced me to branch out and try another delicious dish.

Overall an enjoyable experience with pasta being the highlight. Very light and delicate pasta noodles paired with simple but flavorful sauce and lots of high quality shaved parmesan. Not something you can easily find elsewhere.

Beautiful space, but the experience fell short. We really wanted to love this place because the ambience and decor are nice, but unfortunately, the rest of the experience didn't match the setting.
The service was a tale of two halves: we had one server who was absolutely fantastic and attentive, but another staff member we interacted with was dismissive and frankly rude, which put a damper on the evening.
As for the food, it was disappointing. We tried the $120 per person tasing menu with that has you try most of the food on the menu, and honestly, there wasn’t a single thing we would order again. For the price point, and the fact that we tried the whole menu, we expected much more memorable flavors and presentation. The beef cheek was pretty good, but not enough to warrant us ever going back. The other two entrees were lackluster. The pasta was fresh and flavorless. The appetizers were weird. This place is all hype, or at very least the winter menu missed the mark.

My partner and I dined out for my birthday, and had a wonderful experience. Our server, “Lucky G” made the night so special; they were decidedly warm and welcoming. They created a night we will always remember, and pointed us in the right direction of their favorite dishes. They anticipated our needs before we asked. Everything was delicious, and the Cipollini Ripieni were truly to die for.
For all the hype and the fact that it’s listed as one of the top places to try in Seattle, it was a huge disappointment for me. It was my first visit, but my friends had been there before, and they also commented that the food just isn’t the same anymore. We barely finished the three dishes we ordered. Some reviews mentioned the portions were small, which wasn’t a problem for us, but the main pasta dish was definitely overcooked. Even though we started eating right away, the noodles were already stuck together. We barely finished all three dishes. Service was okay, and the interior atmosphere was definitely nice, but the food just didn’t hold up. Overall, I can’t really recommend it.

I was really excited to come here because the pasta looked amazing! We went for a date night and will not be returning.
First impressions: Very slow and lots of tables available on a Tuesday. Got seated at the bar. Space was very very cold in general on a December night, wearing full coverage and underarmour still left me shivering.
Food: Pan fried chicken was a deep fried chicken monte cristo basically, not a fan. Also I’m pretty sure it didn’t disclose the ham. They were extremely sweet and spoke to the kitchen about the dish and took it off the bill. Pasta was good but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it at all, the sage was delicious but left much to be desired. We also got this shrimp brioche dish, not a fan at all. Shrimp portion was meager, overpowered by the very doughy and buttery brioche. It had vision without execution. Plating was nonexistent. Food was also not that warm in general.
Overall: The clientele seem like they’re there for the wine and the courses, to host professional dinners, for birthdays. I don’t think many of them are Seattle locals. Servers were really nice. You can hear literally everything the kitchen staff says. It’s fun to watch noodles and shaved meat from outside of the kitchen. The seasoning in general is typical of most Seattle mid to high end locations: minimalist and safe for the pickiest eaters. It does not have many options for people with meat related restrictions. The cocktails and mocktails look gorgeous. I would probably only go for a quiet drink before a night out and satiate my pasta cravings elsewhere.

Absolutely delicious high quality food combined with an amazing service experience. I can't wait to go back.
Sarah
Service was excellent, as was the wine list and the food. We need to return more often, as the quality and service never seem to change over time. It's always a delightful experience.
Colleen
We always love coming to Spinasse for special occasions. Everything there is absolutely delicious & the service is always impeccable. They were especially kind to us when we had to unexpectedly leave early. Can't wait to book again.
