We were at the market and have been wanting to come here to try their freshly made pastas. Today the schedule worked out. 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. read more

Pasta Casalinga - Our freshly made pasta - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the hardest to get right, and this place absolutely nailed it. We ordered 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! read more

Amazing al dente pasta!! The pasta was actually al dente and there is so much flavor. The bison ragu was delicious, though it just tasted like beef. The portions look small at first but it is very filling. There isn't much seating at the restaurant but there are more chairs and tables on other floors of the same building. read more

I am so glad my friend recommended this place to us and took us here for lunch! It was absolutely delicious. It's in one of the back corners of the market building, doesn't have much seating but we didn't have to wait long for a table after ordering at the counter. I ordered the lasagna (a white lasagna) and my friends ordered the lamb ragu and the special (linguine with scallops and artichoke hearts). We all thoroughly enjoyed our pasta, it was easy to tell it was handmade with care. I'll be daydreaming about it until the next time I'm in Seattle! read more

Pasta Casalinga - squid ink chickpea pasta - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Absolutely delicious pasta recipes. Earthy, hearty, feels like eating out of an Italian Grandma's kitchen. Love their seasonal palates that change up in surprising ways. Their beetroot pasta is my favorite, but also loved their pesto, mushroom, arrabiatta and other vegetarian options. I have had their chicken pasta ages ago but am trying to downsize my meat uptake so can't comment on their meatier pastas off late. Service is quick. read more

Cute little spot in the market been wanting to try this place forever and it did not disappoint! I think they have a weekly rotating menu- I tried the "from the ocean" special with scallops and it was sooo good! Portion size was reasonable as well. The space is small with a few tables but there is a courtyard with more tables downstairs & it's a great spot to enjoy your pasta & people watch! read more

This place has been in my bookmark for awhile and finally got to try it. It's not hard to find but got confused a bit to find it at the beginning. There weren't a lot of people that day, we had the whole place to ourselves. The guy who took our order had so much patience to explain each pasta. I got the from the sea and my husband got Pomodoro. I really liked my husband's pasta and it was so fresh! It cooked al dente and the pasta sauce seasoned so perfectly. My husband never a huge fan of al dente and he loved this place so much! He still talking about this place and won't stop talking about it. Mine of the other hand was okay; the taste is kinda odd to me, and it's kinda too salty for my liking. The fish were so small, like tiny pieces, I wish its bigger. My personal favorite of my dish is the Al dente part and the pea vine. Other than that mine was meh. The whole place is sooo cute and definitely a cute date spot!!! read more

Even though I'm a Seattle native and have lived here my whole life, this was actually my first time visiting -- it had always been on my list! I came here over the weekend with my sister for her birthday. Like other reviews mention, seating is a little limited upstairs, but there is additional seating downstairs. We got lucky and grabbed a table right as someone was leaving. The setup is pretty casual: you order at the front register, then they call your name when your food is ready. We tried the lasagna and the rigatoni. The lasagna wasn't quite my favorite -- it reminded me more of a meat pot pie and even had peas in it, which surprised me for a lasagna. That said, if you like hearty pot pie-style flavors, you'd probably enjoy it! The rigatoni was definitely on the salty side, but still really flavorful and delicious. One thing to note is that the menu is pretty limited, and there didn't seem to be a vegetarian or chicken-free option. Also no gluten free or dairy free. Everything had dairy, gluten and red meat. (One fish pasta option.) I personally eat red meat, gluten & sometimes dairy- but I know that could make it harder for a lot of people with stricter allergies. For the freshness, portion sizes, and being located in Pike Place, I actually thought the pricing was pretty reasonable for such a high-tourism area. Overall, I'd come back again if they had other options on the menu and if I was craving pasta & already in the area. read more

Many friends have recommended this place as having the best pasta in Seattle to me, so its safe to say my expectations were very high going into it. The menu is very small and simple, I recommend checking it online before coming since they usually only have one "spike" dish that stands out and is special. If that dish doesn't particularly stand out to you and you don't feel like spending $20+ on basic pasta then you're out of luck. The pasta itself is very good! Good texture on the noodles, the flavors were very mild but fresh and organic. I really liked the inclusion of various nuts as it added complexity to the flavor and textures, I've since added sunflower seeds to my own pasta recipes. All in all, I think it is actually worth the medium-high cost for a first experience and the pasta does feel higher quality. It reminds me of Tavolata read more

I didn't know about this place until a friend had recommended we meet here for lunch. We went on a Sunday and I will say there is limited seating, but luckily there's courtyard on the base floor of available seating. They have a menu of 5 items. 3 of which are rotating and the other 2 are year round. Everything is made to order and the pasta is al dente. I think the pasta quality is great and the flavors meld together well. Nothing is overwhelmingly to the palate. Got two dishes. -From the farm Rigatoni all'amatriciana / Rigatoni with guanciale, pomodoro, chili flakes, pecorino :I love the guanciale and wish there were more of it in there. Had to savor/ration it From the garden Spaghettoni con pure' di rape rosse, burrata, olio al peperoncino calabrese / Spaghettoni with red beet puree, burrata, Calabrian chili oil :the chilies did have a good spice that ramp up. Not overly spicy It will leave you feeling full. Overall sentiment. If someone asked for a pasta rec. This place would be included. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. read more

Good god was this the best pasta ever. I had heard a lot about this place before visiting Pike Place Market and decided to check it out. We got the pomodoro and it came with radiatori pasta. It may sound or look simple but it was simply spectacular. The pasta texture was too good, you could tell it was homemade. The sauce was so flavorful and bright! The cheese on top added an awesome saltiness. It was EVERYTHING you'd ever want in a pasta. There was a bit of a line and wait, but I'd wait for hours to have this again. AMAZING!!!!!! read more

This place is overhyped AF! I visited due to all the glowing reviews but the "From the Farm" pasta I got was extremely salty. I know they have a rotating menu so maybe I just came on an off week, but man, I couldn't even finish my dish because it was literally pure salt. The texture of the pasta was good though. Past Casalinga is in Pike Place Market, so seating is hard to come by and the place is very crowded with narrow space all-around. read more

It's a decent Italian/Italian-inspired place for pasta. Some interesting flavor combos. Pasta is definitely al dente in an Italian way (and that apparently drives some of you crazy). I liked it. I did NOT love it, but I definitely liked it. Would stop by here again if in Pike Place, but I would not make a special trip to eat here. read more

I came here on early Sunday afternoon for the first time. It was a little busy but ordering was quick and our pasta didn't take too look to come out. We did find seating and there is seating in the restaurant portion, as well as down the stairs. It's a cute little place in the heart of pike place. We got the lasagna casalinga, from the farm, and from the sea pastas. Lasagna casalinga: I love lasagna but I've never had a white sauce lasagna before. I really loved this and I loved it a lot more than I expected. It has peas, sausage, and mushrooms, made with in house bechamel sauce. I thought this might feel super heavy and rich since it was a cream sauce but it wasn't! It was creamy without the feeling of being "too much" when eating it! That's always my worry whenever I eat cream pastas or sauces, that I can only eat a few bites and then feel full bc it the richness. The mushrooms, pea, and sausage worked so nicely into the flavoring of the lasagna and the sausage was flavorful and seasoned well. I believe it's a pork sausage which in my option always tastes great. From the farm: this was my absolute favorite! I always lean towards ragu or bolognese sauce, it's my favorite dish because the flavors become so pronounced during the cooking process. This was a bison ragu with perfectly al dente rigatoni. The bison wasn't gamey and pair so nicely with the ragu because it was able to get in all the crevices of the pasta. We opted for burrata as a topping which gave a really nice creaminess From the sea: this was a spaghetti with rockfish, pea vines, leeks, and harissa. The pasta felt a little Asian inspired, in Chinese cooking we steam whole rockfish and pea vines are a very common veggie dish, so I loved that the elements made me think of my culture. The harissa also gave it a spicy kick which was reminiscent of having chili oil or chili paste on the side at dimsum. While I loved the flavors of this it wasn't my favorite because it was a bit too light. I really wished the flavors were bolder and more pronounced. Rockfish/white fish is very mild fish so the taste is very dependent on the flavors you add to it. However if you like light flavors and fish that isn't too fishy, this is great! This is a really fresh dish so even though it wasn't my favorite doesn't mean it's not a great pasta! I can't wait to come back to try the next rotation of pastas! read more

Pasta Casalinga - From the Ocean - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The food was good, but i was grossly overcharged. My family ordered two pasta dishes that cost $20 and $24, respectively. The bill was supposed to be $48.64 with tax, I did not tip. When i checked my credit card statement the next day i was billed $70. Since I don't live in Seattle, i called and emailed the restaurant asking if they can pull up the receipt but never received a response. Hopefully management sees this and can help me out read more

By the time I'll have posted this review the menu will have likely changed. They make fresh pasta everyday (we happened to be there at Pike Place around 8:30am one morning and saw all the prep work going on). There was a line when we went on a Thursday afternoon and it is jockeying for a bit of counter seat dining. You place your order, try to find seats and keep an ear out for your name. When I went I got the seafood pasta option ( there is also a meat pasta option, a veggie pasta option, a lasagna and a pasta with their housemade rossodoro sauce). The pasta I got had anchovies, escarole, olives and breadcrumbs. It was really umami and tasty, and it is good heaping portion as well. Would recommend a stop at this store if at Pike Place. Its a tad bit less touristy than other options. read more

My friend brought me here to have lunch since it was at Pike Place and we were in the area. It is tucked away in a quiet corner upstairs. There is some seating around. The menu is pretty small and they do sell out of things. The lasagna was sold out by the time we got there at noon. It does seem like the pastas change out but I don't know how frequently. From the ocean (4/5): This was orecchiette with manila clams, capers, roasted tomatoes, and arugula. It was very fresh and light. It was an oil based sauce and it was a bit spicy? Not sure what ingredient was making it spicy because nothing listed seemed spicy. The portion size was pretty big. I am a fan of seafood pastas so this was lovely. The clams were nice and salty. It is a very casual pasta spot. The food was good and straight forward. You bus everything yourself after your meal. read more

We really didn't know what we were in for when eating here. The staff was so friendly and were extremely knowledgeable about the food. I ordered the From the Ocean which was a Tagliolini with Rockfish, Luciana Style, Castelvetrano Olives, Toasted almonds and oregano. This was such an insane combination not only to read but to taste as well. I loved the contrast of the soft fish with the hard nuts and firm olives. It honestly reminded me of pizza in pasta form with the tomato sauce. It was truly a flavor adventure. Amazing food. read more

It didn't disappoint! We had the Squid ink chitarra pasta with salmon, the lasagna, and the regular tomato pasta. Last one was OK. But the squid ink was amazing. Salmon gives it a special extra flavour. And the Lasagna is just mouthwatering. I guess this one was my favourite. Staff was nice even when they were busy. Place is crowded. Just a couple of spots by the bar. They have a few tables, but you can. Always use the other few downstairs. We tried that because we had a big party. We were waiting for any of the 2 parties ready to leave when a person just sit down right away. Grr it was a bit frustrating so you better have this in mind and be patient :S read more

How many Italian restaurants are out there? So many. Well, if you want to get closer to the true taste of Italy, you need to come to Pasta Casalinga. It is in the Pike Market area and is very casual. It is surrounded by other shops that lead in the PP market. Ample seating or you can order to go. They also sell packaged food to take home. Imported wines from Italy, yes! There is a small menu as they tend to focus on seasonal items. Small but amazing. The pasta is so fresh and al dente. We had the lasagna with fennel sausage which was unbelievable. The pomodoro with burrata on top was delicious as well. I have eaten many bowls of pasta in Italy, and this reminds me of family meals. Pricing is in the low $20's but ample amounts are given. We took leftovers. If you are in the area you must give them a try. Enjoy! read more

To be honest I have not enjoyed the pasta everytime I've gone but when I did enjoy it I liked it a lot. I like how it (literally" feels like a hole in the wall restaurant, but I do know it's not actually. The line gets really long but so far when I've gone it's been no line more than long. The workers are kind and it's entertaining getting a peak of what's going on in the kitchen, which you are able to do because it's open. I personally think it's more fun to get your food and eat elsewhere as the seating is very limited but overall a not bad experience every time. read more

Great food at a nice price. Tucked away in a corner of pike it is a little more relaxing than other places. They are only open for lunch as well so take note.

Super small cute shop offering fresh pasta and a rotating menu. Order at the counter and they will call your name to pick up when the food is ready. There were two 4-too tables and three 2-top tables with a couple more tables in the back down the "back corridor". Most seating was at the bar. We ordered: 1) Ocean Dish featuring squid ink, sockeye salmon chunks, in a crème fraiche sauce with fennel and lemony breadcrumbs. 2) Farm Dish featuring sausage and Brussels sprouts 3) Pomodoro Pasta Initially when I tasted the Ocean dish I thought it could've used more salt but actually once I started eating it, I thought it was OK. It had a small spicy kick to it and taking a bite with fresh fennel in it was subtle but pleasantly appealing. The noodles were cooked well for my taste, a tad paste al dente but not overcooked. The Farm dish was very flavorful (my daughter's dish but I had a couple bites) and it was a tad bit too salty I think due to the sausage. The sauce was very good though and pasta was cooked well. The Pomodoro pasta dish was simple and classic. (I just took a bite from my friend's dish). I give it a solid 4 stars and would definitely come back the next time I visit the Market. read more

This spot is hidden away in the market, but makes some great pasta! The menu is small but has decent variety. No vegan or GF options, but they do have a vegetarian one always. If you're looking for some pasta with local ingredients then it will do the trick. The server was helpful in giving their opinion between two options and the kitchen workers all seemed to be having a good time. They work pretty fast for as busy as they are. The seating is a bit chaotic because it's just first come first serve and order at the counter, so you might have to wait for a seat or take your food to go if it's too packed. It's also pretty noisy as their seating area overlooks one of the big atriums, but I would want to come back and try more of their options in the future. read more

Tucked away in a nice place. Ample indoor seating both in the plaza below the store and also within the store. There is a lot of natural light and the staff was busy but the store had a very friendly ambiance. Arrived when they opened at 11am but it definitely got busier at 1230pm. You can either dine in or order to go. Their menu is very focused I believe there were only 4 items. The pasta is all made fresh and was perfectly Al dente. The stuff was friendly and accommodating. I ordered the lamb ragu and swapped out the gnocchi with the fettuccine since I am not a fan of gnocchi. I also tried the pesto which they added some cayenne pepper which gave the dish a unique kick. Excited to try more of their dishes. read more
