We've met Michela (business owner) and her charming mother when Michela was a guest at Tom Douglas's Hot Stove Society weekly show. They are very nice and warm people and we love to support small businesses. Today we bought some of the most delicious freshly made pasta I've had since I've made my own. This is a bargain at $10 for a clamshell of yummy goodness. Also for purchase is her famous lasagna in the cooler packed in ready to warm up servings and also her homemade sauce. The staff we interacted with was super nice and described the pasta options available. We also noticed Michela's two books she wrote on display at the counter. I like the one with common sayings and their Italian meanings. Interesting subject. We cooked the pasta at home with some vodka/rosa sauce and it was delectable. Especially when paired with some nice wine. Give this woman-owned business a try when you can. You'll be happy you did.

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the hardest to get right, and this place absolutely nailed it. We…read moreordered the Pomodoro pasta, and the fresh, house-made pasta was the star of the meal. The noodles had the perfect texture, and although the sauce was just a simple tomato sauce, it was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and comforting. It really proves that you don't need a long list of ingredients to create an amazing dish when everything is made with quality and care. We ordered for pickup, and our food was ready in about 10 minutes, which was a nice bonus. Finding the restaurant was easy--it's tucked inside the Atrium building at Pike Place Market. Just walk south past the famous fish market, and you'll see the Atrium entrance. It's a bit of a hidden gem, but it's definitely worth seeking out. I'd definitely come back just for this pasta!

While visiting Seattle I kept going back and forth on where to have my birthday dinner. I finally…read morechose That's Amore and it ended up being the best decision. We were a group of 5 and they accommodated us with no problem. Everyone was so welcoming. The place is cute and cozy and you can truly taste that everything is made from scratch. We ordered a variety of dishes and not a single one disappointed. Every plate was cleaned and our tastebuds were dancing. Since it was my birthday they brought out a slice of tiramisu. I usually do not even like tiramisu but theirs completely changed my mind. I shared it and everyone loved it. Honestly the best I have ever had. Beautiful views too. I will definitely be back the next time I visit Seattle.

A few years ago, my spouse and I were introduced to this restaurant. The restaurant was a host for…read moredining out (a fundraiser to support organizations that provide community services). I was quite taken by the restaurant. It even hosts a wonderful view of downtown Seattle and a peak of the Puget Sound. The restaurant is small and intimate. This Italian-style restaurant served one of the best meals I had at the time. So when the opportunity to return came, I wanted to run there from my home. We were immediately shown to our table, and drinks arrived with little effort. One thing to watch for is that they offer sparkling water or tap water. It is easy to think of it as an option, but the sparkling water is a few bucks by the bottle. With four people, it is easy to go through a few bottles quickly - this is my weakness since I have replaced soda with sparkling water. We began with cheesy flat bread and baked goat cheese. The cheesy flatbread was amazing and delicious, and the baked goat cheese was out of this world. I can honestly say that I did not know what to expect, but the baked goat cheese with Taro chips was delightful. What is a trip to an Italian restaurant without a Caesar salad? I added grilled shrimp that were just wonderful as well. This Caesar had a creamy dressing, croutons, and shredded parmesan. The dressing was not overwhelming, but the croutons were a bit hard and difficult to chew. I would give it a B-. I had the PENNE SPECIALI ( mesquite-grilled chicken, spinach, tomato, mushrooms, white wine butter sauce). The description of this dish was better than the flavor. Salt is a flavor enhancer, but when you add it to the dish after it's been cooked, it's like lukewarm coffee - it's okay, but you would have preferred it hot. For dessert, I had the caramel, chocolate custard with chocolate sticks. This was heavenly, and I would eat 100 more. This is a dessert worth the wait, and I do not advise you to share because you will get less. It was the perfect finish. One secret restaurateurs must know is that ambiance, setting, and conversation enhance the food experience, but if the food does not complement the other parts of the experience, something is lost. This place has everything: the view, service, and dining intimacy. Why leave the main dish out of the experience? I want to want to come back like I did the first time I fell in love with "That's Amore."

We started with bruschetta, which was fresh and well-balanced. The gamberoni fiorentini stood out - prawns with great flavor. Had a immediate yes from everyone on the table. For pasta, we had linguine carbonara and tortellini con piselli - both rich and satisfying, and i belive they were hand made tortellini - I liked them and finished the entire plate by myself (nothing left to take home ) The tiramisu was good, but the chocolate lava cake fell short. It wasn't warm enough and lacked that molten center we hoped for. Overall, the service was friendly and helpful, rounding out a pleasant experience. We'll be back for the pasta!

Finally the day I get to try Pink Door after almost living 5 years in Seattle area. The location is…read morekind of unexpected. You wouldn't expect walking in that the alley and street would lead you to such a top spot. The ambience and atmosphere inside the restaurant is electric. Ironically to the name you won't find any Pink Doors here - rather there is hardly anything pink. Speaking of food - I loved Italian Soda. One of the better sodas. Their almond flavour is particularly amazing. I also tried Vanilla - safe and refreshing. The Pink Door lasagna is one of best vegetarian lasagna I have tried. The layers are smooth and dissolve in your mouth. The pesto sauce adds additional kick. For some people the tomato paste on top might interfere with cheesy flavour but others might absolutely enjoy it. On the other hand Bruschetta was average. Didn't expected much so wasn't disappointed. Tomato was a good grade but then same bread and olive oil with some basic. I felt there was too much of olive oil. Won't order again. They mention seasoning - not sure where that went. To end we had Tiramisu. It was great but I have had better. The outer was bit dry but the interior portion of Tiramisu was really rich. I wonder if it was by design but I like Tiramisu to be more spongy and moist throughout. What I really liked was it wasn't too sweet. Always appreciate that. Overall amazing experience and I will come back to try more options.

We ordered the Meatball Sub and Eggplant Sub with marinara sauce. Both sandwiches were flavorful and satisfying. The meatball sub was hearty and comforting, while the eggplant sub had a rich marinara sauce that worked well with the sandwich. We were especially disappointed that the Cubano was sold out, as it was one of the main reasons we stopped by. The only drawback was the price--at around $20 per sandwich, it felt a bit expensive for what you get, especially considering it was just a 6-inch sub, even though the quality was good. We visited during a FIFA World Cup match, so the line was quite long, but it moved steadily and efficiently. No complaints there. The atmosphere is casual and straightforward, with indoor seating only. Its downtown location near the stadiums makes it a convenient spot for a quick meal before or after an event. Overall, a good sandwich shop with quality food, though the pricing keeps it from being a must-visit. I'd still come back to finally try that Cubano.

The panini did take some time (~20 minutes) to pick up but the mac and cheese was scooped right away. I tried both world's best Mac and cheese and the Smoked salmon one.

The world's best mac and cheese was also super good, but I'm always seeking more adventurous flavors. Lastly, the panini was perfectly toasted and crispy with a nice cheese pull! It was really good, but the smoked salmon mac and cheese was magical to eat! The store is average sized and they have a standing area near the factory for you to eat and see the cheese making. No seats inside, so many were just eating the food outside on the sidewalk.

I wanted to try a grilled cheese but there's so many spots around Pike Market I didn't wanna fill up on one place. They use penne noodles with I find unique for a Mac but was a good choice for holding as much of that cheese sauce as possible. It was a little starchy for my preference but still very good. There's little red flakes in the sauce that give it a good flavor profile and little kick. There's a stand up bar after you order where you can eat your food but no formal seating.
