A hidden gem within Pike Place with fresh pasta, fun shapes, and very flavorful sauces! I chose the From the Ocean seafood oriechette for $23 and the bowl was quite filling and the sauce had a kick to it. Decently fast during lunch hour too - limited seating up by counter but there's more atrium seating below. read more

Our first time here. Great tacos! Try the salmon or shrimp. I'm from the NW so was Leary but they were great! Corey is a wonderful bartender! Live music was great! We will be back. read more

This place is amazing! I had been wanting to come here for awhile but just never found the time but I am so glad that I finally made it here. Their menu changes weekly and the day I was here, they were serving a bucatini with guanciale, tomatoes, pecorino and peperoncino for their, "From the Farm" part of the menu for $23 dollars. This dish was soooooo good that I wanted to come back and eat it again the next day. The pasta was fresh and the sauce coated the noodles perfectly. Honestly, it was better than some of the pastas that I had while in Italy. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon so the wait after we ordered took awhile but it was well worth it. I highly recommend this place! read more

I wish I had a better picture to explain how good the food was. I'm not sure what the name of this was, but it was a lasagna with ground beef, peas, and some spicy sauce on top. Oh my God. Fantastic. It's actually something I wouldn't order usually but I'm so happy this crossed my path. TRUST ME, GOOD FOOD! People were so nice too. So was the place, chill little spot in the market. read more

Pasta Casalinga - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Easily one of the best Italian restaraunts in the city. Rotating seasonal menu with 3-4 different pastas based on either meat, seafood or vegetables. All hand made fresh pasta. I got the "From the Ocean" pasta and it was the just the right amount of briny flavor. Come here before it gets busy as there is limited seating. Right before lunch on a weekday is probably the easiest time to grab a seat. read more

I can't believe it took me this long to find Pasta Casalinga in Pike Place Market! This place is a little slice of Italy tucked away in the market. The pasta is made fresh daily, and you can really taste the difference - it's al dente (full mouth workout) and full of flavor. As a group, we had 3 dishes: one from the ocean (with anchovies), one from the garden (saffron sauce based) and one from the farm (pancetta). The portion sizes are deceiving. Its extremely pasta forward with not much in the way of protein. While the pasta was cooked just right, with a sauce that wasn't too heavy but still rich enough to be satisfying, there could have been more balance in the dish. At the end of the meal, all you can think of is a siesta! Portions are great though its priced for the tourist. The staff are friendly and are ready to answer any of your questions. The vibe is casual, but there's something cozy and authentic about it - you're right in the middle of Pike Place but somehow feel miles away. I would suggest grabbing your food and finding good seating in other parts of the market. It gets super crowded and there is hardly any wiggle room. The experience is great and I can't wait to see what else they come up with as the menu changes quite frequently! Tip: the owner has a cookbook if you want to try some dishes at home.

The pasta and sauce were cooked to perfection and so delicious. Al dente and fresh. I highly recommend adding the burrata, it was a nice touch, maybe two :)I would've put more stars but the seating area was a pretty tight fit. It was so busy so it took a little time to get our food. read more

The mussels were super fresh -- soft, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the dish. The fresh tomato sauce was delicious and paired nicely with the perfectly cooked pasta, which I believe they make fresh and which held the sauce really well. read more

Pasta Casalinga is Italian food done right. Delicious and fresh with handmade pasta... what more could you want? We enjoyed eating our way through Pike Place, and Pasta Casalinga was recommended for pasta. Love that it's off the beaten path - still in Pike for those in the know, but away from the masses of people. They even have a small eating area, which is a luxury in Pikes. We got their From the Ocean option. As I said, it was so incredibly delicious, the fish was super fresh, and the pasta was perfect. Their pasta is available until they run out of ingredients for the day. We were lucky enough to get the last bowl of the From the Ocean. So if there's a specific one you want to try, I'd recommend getting there earlier in the day. Hands down, a must stop in Pike Place. read more

We shared the pomodoro and it was prefectly cooked Al dente. The sauce was lite and flavorful with a sprinkling of parm and a glass of white to accompany.

Saw this recommended as somewhat of an offbeaten path to eat at in Pike Place. They make everything fresh, and late in the day, some of their menu items are even unavailable as they sell out. The food was delicious, the pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce was creamy, and the seafood was generous. All in all, if you're looking for a high-quality, authentic Italian place to eat that doesn't break the bank, this is it. read more

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

Pasta Casalinga After landing in Seattle in the morning, I headed to Pike Place Market for my first meal. I came across Pasta Casalinga, which had a lot of customers and some awards, so I decided to check it out. They offer set menus, and I chose the "From the Ocean" option (21). It came with tagliolini, wild Gulf shrimp, summer squash, garlic, white wine, and parsley. The pasta was amazing--fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. My only complaint is that they only gave me three shrimp, but they made up for it with a generous amount of pasta. It was super filling and really good. I can see why it's so popular. Great pasta, definitely worth trying. read more

Pasta Casalinga - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pasta Casalinga is tucked in among the retail shops at Pike Place Market but very easy to find. Nearly all seats in the immediate area of the restaurant were taken on a Sunday morning around 11:30, but turnover was quick, and we were able to grab seats in front of the order counter shortly after placing our orders. Each pasta dish was made to order, so we did wait ~15-20 minutes for our food to be prepared. While the rest of my group waited, I skipped over to Daily Dozen to get us some treats to share afterwards. Of the 3 dishes we got, my favorite was the rigatoni - al dente to my liking and well balanced between the richness of the carbonara and saltiness from the pecorino and guanciale. The spaghetti and bucatini were a tad too firm and chewy for me, with the spaghetti also tasting briny from the anchovies and capers. Pasta Casalinga has been on my list of places to try, so I'm glad the opportunity presented itself while I was in the area. The service is efficient, and I do like the limited menu. The portions are generous (definitely saw a few couples sharing one pasta order), but I can't say this is one of my favorite pastas I've had in the Seattle area. I am curious about the lasagna and may come back some time to try it, but wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

Unexpectedly simple yet tasty pasta lunch. This hidden eatery is in the Pike Place Market and worth a try. The guy who took our order was nice and helped me make decisions. We got two "From the Garden" which has a light creamy oil based sauce with a nice touch of breadcrumbs for a subtle crunch. Hubs had the Lasagna Casalinga which gave pasta carbonara and Shepard pie vibes. It didn't have a red sauce so def not a traditional lasagna but excellent nonetheless the less. He said it was in his top 5 lasagnas so that's saying something! The kiddos split the Pomodoro with a Ragu add-on which was a healthy portion that filled up two of their full sized plates. Everyone was satisfied and full. read more

This joint has a few items on the menu but I am guessing all of there dishes are terrific. I had the squid ink pasta w/ salmon, this dish was amazingly tasty in a good way. Each bite was tasteful to the last bite. It wasn't overly powering with sauce, it was done to perfection. My wife had the pasta rigatoni w/ barrata on top. This was also flavorful to the last bite. If you are in Pikes this is a must try spot. As for the seating if it's busy good luck trying to find a table. This place gets packed especially on the weekends. read more

Pasta Casalinga - Ink pasta salmon & Rigatoni w/ baratta. - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

For a birthday lunch treat, I visited Pasta Casalinga. We tried three different pasta dishes. From the Garden: - Bucatini with Saffron Cacio e Pepe Sauce (Pecorino, Kale chips) $21 From the Farm: - Rigatoni with Carbonara Sauce (Pecorino, Eggs, Guanciale) $21 From the Ocean: - Spaghetti Chitarra with Puttanesca Sauce (Gaeta Olives, Capers, Tomato & Anchovies) $21 Each dish was good, with the pasta cooked al dente. The flavors were well-balanced but a bit under sauced and under seasoned. Although there was enough pasta, all dishes were skimpy in their signature ingredient offerings. Authentic Italian dishes are famous for their abundance in both ingredients and flavor.... unfortunately, these were not. Especially when the prices are not that different from many well-known, good Italian restaurants in Seattle. The service was efficient and friendly, with the staff quickly handling orders. You can choose to enjoy your meal at a small counter in the restaurant or take it to go. There's also additional seating available on the second floor. Pasta Casalinga in Pike Place Market features a rotating menu of thoughtfully crafted, made-to-order pasta plates. The dishes typically showcase handmade pasta tossed with light sauces and fresh, locally sourced or foraged ingredients Whether you're a local or just visiting Pike Place Market, Pasta Casalinga is a good choice for a delicious and satisfying pasta meal. read more

PROS: Every order is made fresh and menu is seasonal so is constantly changing! Food comes out fast and piping hot. Pasta is cooked perfectly and has a super nice chewy texture to it. CONS: Teeny tiny menu options and restaurant (idk if I would call this a restaurant act?) It's like connected to the market, no doors kinda just like a hallway dead end hahah BUT still great lighting and clean environment. I guess the only slight let down was the seafood special pasta. It lacked flavor and kinda just tasted like fishy butter and pepper pasta IG: Spillingthe.beans read more

Pasta Casalinga is an excellent counter service pasta place in the market with a short menu that has a couple permanent fixtures and a few seasonally rotating dishes. You order at the counter and they call your name when your dish is ready. You seat yourself at one of the small tables or counters, grab your own silverware, and bus your own table. It's all quite efficient and casual, but don't let that fool you into thinking they don't take their food seriously. The housemade pasta is really good, seasoned and cooked perfectly. I had the pappardelle with venison ragu ($23), and the sauce was unctuous, coated the thick toothy noodles perfectly, with perfect accents of spicy black pepper and salty parmesan. They serve pasta in perfectly sized portions here, and despite being a bottomless pit I was actually satisfied by the bowl of pasta. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the market neighborhood and looking for a quality meal. read more

Solid handmade pasta in Pike Place! I was hoping to try their lasagna but it was out by the time I arrived so instead I got their squid ink pasta with chickpeas. Very fresh tasting noodles and the toppings really enhanced the flavor. Limited spacing and seating and there is a bit of a wait for the food to come out but it is worth it! read more

Pasta Casalinga - Squid ink pasta - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a popular spot for pasta in Pike Place. Seating is somewhat limited, but they do have counter space and tables. They have a rotating menu which features the following themes: from the ocean, from the farm, from the garden. I ordered from the garden. This consisted of conchiglie rigate with butternut squash puree, shaved smoked scamorza, nigella seeds, and African cayenne. The food was prepared relatively quickly. On first impression, the portion size was quite generous. I thought the pasta was not quite al dente (a bit soft for my preference). It also could have been seasoned a bit more evenly, as I thought there were some areas of the plate that tasted more spicy. read more

Nothing beats pasta when served cooked to order especially in a setting that is in the tourist epicenter of Seattle. Located in the landmark Pike Place Market along the heart of Seattle's waterfront, Pasta Casalinga's success can be attributed to proprietor Michela Tartaglia, who is an Italian native, born and raised in Turin, Italy who managed to make her way to the Emerald City and put down roots in Seattle. Tartaglia has become a well-known celebrity, not only in Seattle but nationwide, thanks to the popularity of her cookbook "Pasta for All Seasons". And who doesn't enjoy pasta during every season because there is nothing better than a thoughtful plate of noodles topped with a variety of sauces and other accompaniments. Open in Pike Place Market, since 2018, what makes Pasta Casalinga stand out is that they offer a rotating menu of seasonal dishes. And with Pasta Casalinga basically being a food stand in a multi-level shopping center that says a lot about what they want to be to their adoring fans. Being able to visit the Seattle area for business, a friend recommended that I try out Pasta Casalinga as they had been many times and never got a bad dish. I had never heard of Pasta Casalinga before and after seeing the quality and quantity of their dishes on my Yelp app I was sold, as I was looking for a place to enjoy a nice solitude after an afternoon of the typical Seattle rain, and having heavy meal, as I was going to be traveling for the rest of my day anyway. With a menu that changes constantly the only challenge was deciding what to do upon this visit as Pasta Casalinga is located on the second floor of this section of Pikes Place Market, which can make it a challenge to find for some people. Luckily, like a guiding light, their location happened to pop out at me just as I was searching for them with their bright yellow sign to lead the way. The menu at Pasta Casalinga is simple, as the categories that they are broken into are also the only items under each category. As such, they are separated into concepts such as From the Ocean, From the Farm, From the Garden, in addition to their signature Lasagna and Pasta Pomodoro. Although everything sounded amazing there was something about their From the Ocean menu item which was their Tagliolini served with side stripe shrimps in their bisque, zucchini, and yellow curry sauce. To go with my meal, although they had a number of house wines available, I decided to pair my meal with a San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa Soda. My total bill was $28.14 before gratuity was added in, which was rather reasonable considering how much food I was able to feast on. It would take some time for my name to be called out as everything is cooked to order, fresh and warm. Once my beautiful rustic plate was presented to me I was ready to dig in with forkfuls of skinny noodles and shrimps on the shell, which were easily pullable. Topped with Italian parsley and a fresh lemon wedge to taste, this dish was simply amazing, perfectly seasoned and prepared, it was served elegance while dining on a countertop that overlooks an indoor shopping center. The dish wanted me to order additional dishes from their simple menu as their From the Farm menu item, which was rigatoni with braised beef ribs, looked amazing from what I could from the diner sitting next to me. For those who want simple pasta, I overheard their team suggest the Pomodoro Pasta and top it with Burrata at an additional cost. Anything is possible when it comes to dining at Pasta Casalinga, as it is truly exciting to partake in their menu while this restaurant is still young and just beginning their takeover of the Seattle dining scene. I see a full scale waterfront Italian restaurant in their future, and for Pasta Casalinga and owner Michela Tartaglia, I can't wait to be a loyal customer there as well! read more

As a Seattle local, I've seen plenty of videos and reviews about Pasta Casalinga, but had never taken the time to explore Pike Place, until now. I finally visited and made Pasta Casalinga my must try spot for lunch, and it did not disappoint. My girlfriend and I tried the "From the Farm" (right) and "From the Garden" (left) pasta dishes. Both were flavorful with a good balance of oil and seasoning. However, the green pasta was a bit too salty for my taste, if it had less salt, it would've been perfect. The prices were very reasonable compared to other Italian spots in the city. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I got the from the ocean pasta. I like that they cook pretty fast. Like about 10 minutes. The pasta itself is good. It has the right texture. Scallops are good too. But I wish they could give a bit more. The dish is pretty heavy. A lot of people sitting around me can't finish it. And I feel kind of full after I ate half of it. This place is self service. They have seating for small groups and solo diners. read more

Went on a solo trip to Pike Place Market and was excited to try this spot! As a pasta lover, I really appreciated how fresh everything was. The employees were friendly, and the portion size was generous that I couldn't finish it all in one sitting, so I took the rest to go. I also noticed a lot of people ordering takeout and buying fresh pasta to cook at home, which speaks to the quality. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

Amazing fresh hand made pasta! It is kind of inside where the DeLorenti Italian Market is also located (next to the market, upstairs). They change up their menu, but I heard the pomodoro is always good, so that was what we choose (well, we wanted the "From the Ocean" but that was unavailable. The pomodoro was made with San Marzano tomato sauce, so understated yet so good, right on top of fresh hand made al dente pasta. I would recommend coming when they open, we were the first ones there, 5 minutes before they opened. But there was no line and no order so by the time they finally started taking orders, we found ourselves the third in line to place our order! But I guess it was worth it. Have one person hold seats and have one person order and pay at the counter. Or just take it to go because there are many other places to sit, indoors or outdoors at Pike Place Market. Note you can also purchase frozen meals to be heated up at home! read more

This place is nothing short of a gem in Pike Place market. Their "From the Ocean" was the most amazing and flavorful pasta I've ever had. It was so good I had to come back before I left Seattle. They have a small menu but it rotates frequently , so they always have new dishes to try. The staff were very friendly and outgoing and this is one of the only places I have found downtown with free water. The price was a steal, considering most other places in Pike Place have $30+ entrees, I felt good paying $23 for incredible pasta with fresh local ingredients. The portion may look small, but I struggled to finish it both times. It was very filling! read more

From the Ocean did not seem overly saucy which is how i prefer my pastas but if you don't want anything too strong, i would grab this one! read more

I have been wanting to come here FOREVER! Just kidding. But seriously, if you watch any foodie blogs this spot is a gem. The pasta is homemade and each dish is made fresh while you wait. A coworker, self proclaimed foodie, comes here for his birthday. I just had to take the opportunity to treat myself, and my son to a dish from here. We shared a large bowl of pasta and it was to die for! From the Farm, braised beef ribs, radicchio, pear mustard, and pecorino. I was 100% impressed and in tastiness heaven (if that is a thing) over this dish. Definitely enough for sharing if you are at the market eating at multiple spots. Which we were. The service is very friendly despite being super crowded. The vibe is casual as you grab your own silverware, water, and table as you can! On a three day weekend it was luck that we grabbed two seats along the bench area overlooking into the courtyard. I 100 percent will come back here. I had FOMO watching other dishes come out. The menu is small which I appreciate as a person who becomes overwhelmed with too many choices. Do it. Come here ASAP! It was worth the hype. SYOY! read more

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.

Pasta Casalinga - Venison Ragu pappardelle - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ok, after many attempts to dine here I've arrived for a dining experience at Pike Place Markets pasta joint.... Known for fresh homemade pasta I previewed the chalk board menu of todays options. I gracefully waited in a line and finally a gentleman from behind the counter asked " What would you like" so without hesitation the words rolled off my tongue " From The Farm " ! No it's not a veggie pasta it's a flesh pasta made with sausage. I watched as one person made the pasta and handed off to the chef who then prepared my culinary experience. I heard FRANK YELLED OUT which signaled chow time. Now I had higher expectations for my meal but was somewhat disappointed, the board said sausage and I didn't see one dibble of the swine in my pasta. Not sure if they made the wrong dish for me but was disappointed. So like a trooper I ate about half but was not thrilled with end product. The pasta itself was excellent but the sauce and NO SAUSAGE just made it a bummer for $25. I figure when your paying that for a bowl of pasta it should be epic. But it wasn't and I tossed it in the trash. That was my experience with the pasta. For folks coming in you can grab an order to go . I chose the counter space looking atrium for my meal so I could grab a Sunday relax time. A few tables exist but a wide open counter space was much more to my liking. After all it's my meal not yours ! I'm not sure if I'll come back yet I'm sure others will think I'm crazy. read more
