    Insalata di Scarola, Lentil soup
    Emily H.

    We visited here for Seattle Restaurant week. We ordered the 3 course $35 menu. The place is rustic and dimly lit, and the food was pretty good! I enjoyed the truffle pasta--it was simple, but had the forward-tasting truffle essence that I was hoping for. The only thing missing was some freshly cracked black pepper, I wish they had come around with a pepper mill! The pasta itself was al dente and tasted fresh, but a bit clumpy/stuck together. The salad was well-balanced, and I liked the crunch of the pistachios and the contrast with the juicy flavorful dressing and the tart raisins and mandarins. The lasagna was hearty and had a nice light tomato flavor. Dessert was a flourless chocolate cake, which was light and nutty, and the perfect portion for one. The service was pretty slow though, and we had to wait at least 15 minutes to order. However, our server was attentive with refilling our wine and water carafe. Overall, this restaurant wasn't bad, but there are higher quality Italian places elsewhere. I would probably only come back for the truffle pasta.

    Tagliatelle al Ragu
    Lauren S.

    Delicious dining in a beautiful setting right on Capitol Hill! I've heard good things about Osteria la Spiga in the past and got the chance to officially check it out over a dinner with friends. Vibe is casual but still on date night level if you wanted it to be. It's open and bright and airy, and the service is great. They also have outdoor seating that looks great for warmer days. I started with their soup of the day which was a potato and leek soup, but I was caught off guard with the curry flavor. That said, my husband and I both LOVED it and thought it was such a unique soup! I've had potato and leek soup in the past and this was the most flavorful one I've had. Definitely recommend when it comes around. For our entrees, I went with the Tagliatelle al Ragu, and what my husband got is completely slipping my mind... But he liked it! My Tagliatelle was stellar. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce was delicious. It was a delicate balance of sweet and savory and was exactly what I had been craving. I was having a hard time deciding which to pick, so I'm really glad I went with this dish! Their Aperol Spritz was nice and refreshing, and mirrored the taste of others I've had in the past. I never am a dessert person but decided to indulge in the panna cotta and 10/10 do recommend for a delicious dessert that isn't overwhelming. For both of us with the starter soup, a few drinks, entrees, and our dessert, it was a little under $150 after tip. I guess a little more on the pricy end for just a regular night out, but the quality matched the price imo. Definitely recommend for a splurge of a date night or a special occasion dinner!

    Tagliatelle al Burro di Tartufo

    Really great date night spot nestled in the middle of Capitol Hill. It is on the pricier side and smaller portions. Service was warm but a little on the slow side. Now onto the food - our favorite dish was the seasonal antipasti cured meats, burrata, and grilled peach board - delicious and abundant. 5 stars. I ordered the Tagliatelle al Burro di Tartufo. Flavor was subtle and creamy. It was a nice dish in between seasons. Small portion. 4.5 stars. My partner had the lasagna. Stated it was a bit on the mushier side than solid layers and a crisped top but flavor was good. 4 stars. It was a nice date night spot but won't be rushing back.

    Insalata Mista della Casa

    All the food here was really good! If you go for happy hour, it's also very reasonably priced. I honestly probably wouldn't recommend going outside of HH because otherwise it's pretty costly relative to portion size but the HH deals are excellent for both food and drinks. We managed to order drinks, apps, and mains all from the HH and saved a ton but were very full and happy. I would recommend a res to be safe during peak times. We had great service and a lovely little spot by the window. It was very intimate and romantic feeling so I would recommend this spot especially for date night.

    Piadina Romagnola
    Karlo G.

    Our first time at Osteria la Spiga and it will not be our last. The service, vibes, and food were all perfect! We came here with friends and were immediately impressed with their space. The dining room had was rustic yet elegant. We were seated in the back area which was had lower ambient noise and more intimate. Dinner started with a Rhonda Negroni which was a mix of gin, vermouth, and Campari. Perfectly made and a good pre-dinner drink. We also brought a couple of bottles of wine to open for dinner. The corkage fee was $30 per bottle. For appetizers, we shared the Polenta con Ragu di Coniglio. This crispy fried polenta was served with braised rabbit ragu was delicious and a must order. We also shared a Piadina Romagnola, a traditional flatbread from Romagna and Caprese salad. The flatbread was similar to a pita bread and was served with high quality olive oil. The caprese salad was refreshing and always a favorite. For main dish, I ordered the Pollo alla Diavola. The dish consisted of grilled boneless chicken thigh skewers, house-made sausage with a vegetable mélange. The chicken was tender and the house sausage was well-seasoned. The dish was garnished with crispy chicken skin for added texture. I absolutely recommend this dish! Dessert was a decadent Panna Cotta al Caramello. The mixture of sweet cream with bitter caramel was phenomenal. The added texture of the crispy meringues made this dessert one of my favorites. Service was top notch. Our server consistently anticipated our needs and took great

    Formaggi Misti
    Kimaya C.

    Really liked the vibe of the place, especially for a bigger group. We sat upstairs and the atmosphere was nice with lots of other groups and chatting, without it being too noisy. Our server was nice and helpful. He checked up on us throughout the night while giving us space. He also helped us choose a wine and got us chasers with our shots at the end of the night. For food we ordered the formaggi Misti to share, which was slightly disappointing in quantity. For entrees we tried the lasagna, truffle mushroom tortelli, chicken salad and white truffle pasta. My lasagna was pretty good and hit the spot, though my favorite was the mushroom tortelli which had a truffle flavor and the right balance of mushroom and ricotta in the filling. For drinks we shared a bottle of wine. My friend was also excited to see they had a Serbian liqueur on the menu and he enjoyed the punch cocktail made from it too! Overall, the food was good but more so the atmosphere would be why I recommend going. They also have a patio that opens which would be nice in the summer

    Eggplant parm, yes!
    April S.

    For the food, 5 stars for sure. Our server seemed new and gave us an incorrect first and third course and then gave me the bill without a way to tip and sign. Everyone was pleasant to interact with. We have ordered meals before but this was our first dine in experience during SRW. The apps; cannellini soup was good though a bit salty, the grilled veggie plate was flavorful perfection, and the porcetta crostini was unique and delicious. We also added polenta (meh) and sausage (would do again every time). The mains; eggplant parm was hella cheesy and flavorful, fish dumpling dish was tasty and most tender pasta, and the gnocchi was a solid classic choice. The sweet side; the panna cotta was the best I've ever had--more smooth and creamy than anyone. The hazelnut cake is not chocolate or flavorful enough for this girl, esp next to the raspberry sorbet and creamy p cotta. The sorbet bonus/error (which doesn't need the vodka sauce addition) was such a surprise to my non fruit preferring honey, he's the one that finished it off. We were first to arrive and there was no street parking, so maybe getting to go will continue to be our preference but it was nice to have everything hot. The place is huge, I was curious about the upstairs perspective as well.

    La Spiga Osteria is a great Italian restaurant in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. Great service and a great menu. Lots of pasta options that are tasty and creative. A good place to go for an evening out with friends.

    Underwhelming, had not been here in awhile and was let down by bland offerings. Wine menu was nice, service was good. The presentation and the entrees lacked in flavor and depth :( not what I remember.

    gnocco fritto (v) - fried bread puffs of Emilia
    Lorinda G.

    I discovered Osteria la Spiga after watching the owner on an episode of Chopped for the Italy cooking challenge they had and the owner won the episode for her region and came in second place in the final episode. I was super excited to come here and right as we walked in, I loved the open style of the restaurant and the high ceilngs/windows. We were seating right by the window in the perfect spot and enjoyed that the two-top tables had plenty of room on the table themselves and inbetween other tables. The service was great! Our server was very attentive and nice. Now on to the food... Appetizers: Calamari - perfectly breaded and great flavor. gnocco fritto (v) - fried bread puffs - I wish these had a sauce to dip in or stuffed with cheese. They just tasted like beignet dough, which wasn't a bad thing just needed some more flavor. Tigelle alla Parmigiana - This was very tasty! It was on their happy hour menu and I loved the grilled eggplant Dinner - Pasta is a must! But if I were to come again, I'd order a pasta and something from the secondi menu. Gnocchetti all'Ossolana - Mushroom Gnocchi, can't go wrong. This was very savory and the flavors were very cohesive. I loved how soft the mushrooms were in this dish. Lasagne Verdi - YUM YUM YUM - this just melted in your mouth. Such good flavors, I would order this again. Lastly, this deserves it's own highlight because it was SO tasty - I ordered two of them! The Passionfruit Lime Soda (spiritless drink) was my favorite thing I ordered. I wanted to take it home! It was super refreshing and not overly sweet. Overall, there is a wide variety on this menu and everything we tried was very tasty. Highly recommend for a little date night spot!

    Torta di Nocciola
    Michelle P.

    I visited Osteria La Spiga during Seattle Restaurant Week and was thoroughly impressed by the pasta dishes! Gnocchi al Pomodoro The gnocchi was absolutely delicious--pillowy, flavorful, and served in just the right portion. A true standout dish. Lasagne Verdi I also tried my friend's Lasagne Verdi, and honestly, I loved it even more than my dish. It was so rich, flavorful, and perfectly layered. Highly recommend giving this one a try! Torta di Nocciola For dessert, I tried the Torta di Nocciola, a flourless chocolate and hazelnut cake. While it wasn't quite my favorite due to its strong hazelnut flavor and crunchy texture, I'd recommend it to anyone who loves nutty, textured desserts. Overall, a good dining experience, and I'd definitely come back for the pasta!

    Panna Cotta alla Pesca, IL Mascarpone Di Ida, Torta di Nocciola
    Cassandra H.

    We came on the last day of Restaurant Week. After we were seated, we didn't see our waiter for 20 minutes, and then he said he would be right back, but then took another 20 minutes to come back to talk about wine, and then took another 20 minutes to come back with the wine. So I think we waited for an hour before we got to order our food, and then we waited another hour before we got our food. The food itself was decent but not worth waiting 2 hours for. Also since it was restaurant week, they ran out of ingredients. Gnocchi was fluffy but with chew and the sauce was nicely acidic. The salad had orange but also orange seeds in it, which was a little unpleasant. They ran out of pistachios. Of the desserts, the panna cotta was my favorite because it was so smooth and creamy and the burnt caramel balanced the sweetness. The torta was my least favorite because the texture was very crumbly since it was flourless and hazelnut-based.

    Service was good- the gnocchi was excellent but a little over priced for what we got. Verdi lasagne very good as well. Good happy hour menu.

The courtyard is absolutely beautiful, especially with the fountain, cozy lighting, and intimate atmosphere. It has such a romantic, tucked-away feel that you almost forget you're in the middle of Belltown. The food was fantastic from start to finish. There's a great variety of Italian and Sicilian-inspired dishes, and everything we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The portions were generous, and there were so many things on the menu that I could easily see myself coming back several times just to try different dishes. What really stood out was how much the atmosphere adds to the entire meal. This isn't just a place to grab dinner and leave--it's somewhere you can actually sit back, enjoy a drink, have a conversation, and take your time. It would be an especially great choice for a date night, anniversary, birthday, or any evening when you want dinner to feel a little more special. The combination of the food, setting, and hospitality made this a memorable experience. Seattle has plenty of Italian restaurants, but La Fontana has a personality and atmosphere that make it stand out. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for a beautiful Italian dinner with a unique Seattle atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

You walk in and order at a self-service kiosk, and there are plenty of options to customize your pasta. You can choose from different pasta types and sauces, which makes it easy to build exactly what you want. We ordered the short rib pasta and the carbonara, along with a cannoli for dessert. After ordering, you seat yourself and they call your name when the food is ready. We had no problem finding a table for two. There seemed to be a lot of takeout orders coming through. Both pastas tasted fresh and were cooked al dente, just as advertised. The carbonara was creamy and flavorful. The short rib itself was good, but the pasta and sauce were a bit separated, so the pasta didn't absorb as much flavor as I expected. The cannoli was very filling and had a hint or orange in it. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for quick, customizable pasta. Just keep in mind that it's more of a fast-casual place rather than a full sit-down service restaurant.
