Amazing pizza and super friendly customer service! Had a great time and would absolutely come back!

Pizza and Pasta Bar in the Pike Place Market is a great place tucked inside a narrow entryway in Post Alley, It is located right next to Pike Place Chowder which seems to always have a long line of customers outside. If that line is intimidating or wet (think rain!) then duck inside to Pizza and Pasta Bar for a delicious meal. While there we met the owners Bruno and Goli who were helping out behind the counter. They are the nicest people ever! So friendly and accommodating and always smiling. Their pride in their restaurant really shows in their care of the food and customers. I had the infamous meatball sandwich and my wife had the chicken carbonara. They gave us each a slice of their pizza for free as they had a bit extra from one that just came out of the oven. The food was prepared in front of you which is always interesting to watch and the charming brick pizza oven was directly in front of us so we could watch that process as well. Pretty cool. There are a wide variety of pizzas and pastas, desserts and drinks (alcohol too!) available on the menu. We ate at at the bar and had a wonderful conversation with the owners as they bustled about in the open cooking area. I enjoyed my meatball sandwich which had great crunchy crusty bread that held in the contents of melted cheese, red sauce and meatballs. A great choice to get when there. My wife liked her chicken carbonara and as the portion was pretty large, we were able to take some home for later. Extra yummy for me (ha ha)! The complimentary pizza slices were a hit for us as well. Napoli style with thin crust and flavorful toppings. We found out that Goli created the restaurant's design with the face of a woman that looks a lot like Venus in "The Birth of Venus" painting by Botticelli in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence Italy (just sayin'). Except that this logo has hair made of pasta! Good enough to eat! Give this place a try. You'll leave with a big smile on your faces! read more

The food was terrible. We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, with chicken (extra for adding protein). I asked, are the pastas made local? Or in house? No. Are the sauces local or made in house? No, we warm them up. Ok. How about the mozzarella bread? Yes, we make it to order. Ok. Let me describe this: two pieces of bread, no seasoning, no butter - just open face with shredded mozzarella from a container then placed inside the stone oven on the wall. In a medium nonstick pan, large tong full of wet noodles, one ladle of white sauce, toss them together. Boiled chicken pieces, BOILED chicken tossed into the pan. No seasoning or shredded cheese, or Italian seasoning. Served in a plastic to go container that cost 1.85 extra bc it was to go since they wouldn't allow us to sit w outside food. Although it was empty and we weren't taking anyone else's table. The place is clean. And bright. I also paid for the container for my bread. The food was bland and boiled chicken just made it worse. read more

Pizza and Pasta Bar - Spaghetti bolognese - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I really hope the owner of this establishment reads this because they need to know that the staff are perfectly okay with selling a dried out, bland plate of spaghetti marinara that is literally on par with hospital cafeteria food, for THIRTY DOLLARS. How frustrating it is that there are establishments like this in a prime location to prey upon tourists that serve disappointment portrayed as palatable food in exchange for our money. read more

The food was actually pretty good (spaghetti and meatballs), but the service was a little weird and rude. We ordered the spaghetti and meatballs at the counter and were asked if we wanted to eat in (there was nobody sitting at any of the tables) or get it to-go. We said to-go, but then changed our minds and told the person at the cashier that we wanted to eat inside instead. Then she said "No, you cannot eat here. You said you wanted it to-go." ??? read more

Basically a hole in the wall tourist trap in downtown Seattle at Pikes market. Food was basic. Definitely not worth the price. $120 bucks for two for lunch. Was shocked that they charged a 20% service fee to pay for overhead. Not like it's a fancy place. Only 2 people working. Don't waste your time. read more

Best find! Super friendly owner and staff. The wait wasn't long. You order first and then they assign you a table. We got a large pizza, half Pike Place Market and half Meat Lover. So delicious! The side salad was big enough to share. Highly recommend stopping here. FYI- They do not have slices for sale. read more

Pizza and Pasta Bar - Good Italian food. My husband liked the meatballs. My pesto penne was good. Nice quick meal. - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is one of my daughters favorite places to eat at the Market. We have been coming here for over 10 years. She loves the Stromboli pizza here and the spaghetti and meatballs. Brian had been a distracted, but acceptable host. For very simple items, the cost was overpriced. But I was happy to come here, to make my young daughter happy. We have revisited this place several times. The food continues to be rather mediocre and overpriced. Still happy to pay. I think the one issue I have here, is the lack of hospitality. The restaurant is located next to an excellent, very busy chowder bar. It is so popular, that the patrons find it hard to find a place to sit down. Pizza and pasta bar hates this. They refuse to serve anyone who does not buy everything from their restaurant. So some chowder or other food brought into this restaurant, will get you refused service rudely. The owner seems to be on edge, rigorously enforcing this policy. Which makes a customer who chooses to dine here, uncomfortable. I want to enjoy the ambiance. Not witness unpleasant interactions between customers and staff. I have no solution to this dilemma. You are offering mediocre food, at inflated prices. Chasing customers away with unpleasant attitudes is unfortunate. I enjoy your garlic bread, meatball sandwich's and pasta with a mix of sauces. But to feel uncomfortable with aggressive enforcing of rules while I am trying to to enjoy my food, unacceptable. read more

I live here and never had tried the food at this Italian place. I had walked by the shop a few times and it didn't seem inviting. Even to step into the store to read the menu was awkward. But, after reading reviews and wanting a quick lunch to take home I chose to give it a chance. I ordered the carbonara and garlic bread. First off, the bread. It was over $8. Nothing is cheap at the market, so I was just hoping it would be worth it. Not what I expected or anything like the picture they showed. It is soft chibbata bread with a light (???) oil and grilled. A+ Plus for the grilling. But, No garlic or spice what so ever. The carbonara was good. It was a fair amount and had the right sauce to pasta ratio. 7/10 My whole check can to about $50. I had asked (and was charged for) the items to go. After I placed the order the older lady who checked me out, told me " go stand in the hall we will call you when it's ready." There was no body else in the shop, the whole time I had been there. I am not in a hurry to go back. It took 12 years for me to give them a try. The rude service and lack of continuity with advertising food vs. actual product will make it at least 12 more years until I go back. read more

We stopped in yesterday on a whim there are so many places to chose from and we figured you can't go wrong w pasta and pizza. But a few things that I can say was they charge A 20'percent fee to eat your food there? I have never heard of that so of course opted to get it to go. The Girls paid average of $30 for a lunch. But they were served cold pasta dishes in very small To go portions and $8 for mini bread as a side Just super disappointed in the food, the quality portion and the fee read more

After waiting in line for 20 minutes and told that we'd get a table, the rude lady told us that we would not be seated, even after ordering food from her overpriced restaurant. Why? Simply because we were HOLDING a bag of food from another restaurant that we had no intent on eating now but were saving it to go back to our room. She said "no outside food allowed," and when I replied that we weren't going to eat it, we were ordering from her restaurant for our daughter so she could eat, she shouted that she was too busy to "supervise" us and that she had a lot of customers (place was half full, as most people seem to get their food to-go). When I asked, "Wait a second. We're ordering for and paying for food here, and you're denying us a table?" She shouted that we didn't need to order at her restaurant. Well lady, sorry you're butthutt, clearly hormonal, and that you lack any kind of service skills, but here's your one star review for sucking at life & disappointing my nine year old daughter. At least my daughter learned that not all people are kind & some, LIKE YOU, are downright obnoxiously rude. Good luck to ya. read more

We were in the area and decided to dine here. They had seating available. We ordered a couple different appetizers, a Caprese salad and a chicken pizza or flatbread. We also got some drinks, water and a soda. Our total was over $70. The food took longer than expected, and was average. We were a little disappointed with the food quality based upon the pricing. Should we be back in the area, We would most likely not return. The service was very friendly. There is only a couple tables to sit at on the inside and then a bar. read more

The place looks fine. The main restaurant area for ordering at the register and seating is fine. There is more outdoor seating which we didn't notice until we left. A cheese pizza was $40... ouch. It didn't look great to me, yet it tasted good. We ordered a meatball sandwich for $20. It looked pretty sad. Small. Not very hot. 1 pizza, 1 meatball sandwich, 3 sodas & 1 beer = $108 before tip. We tried to get meatball as a topping on our pizza and were told they couldn't do that. We ordered a soda for someone in our party, who wanted clam chowder from the place next door. When he joined us, the staff was militant about not having him eat in the restaurant with us despite there being literally no other customers in the restaurant at ~4:30 pm. It sounded like the owner had drilled this into the staff. It took quite a while to get the food despite being the only people in the place. The food sat on the counter for a couple minutes before it came out to us. In short, this was not a friendly, accommodating place with good service. I'm not one for writing reviews, but this place definitely needed a 2 star review. read more

Spaghetti was horrible! Cost almost $30 including meatballs. And also almost $30 for few slices of mozzarella bread. $7 for non refillable nasty lemonade. They didn't not tell us there is a 20% service charge for dining in without service. Felt I was robbed. Horrible experience! read more

I was craving pasta and am SO glad I stumbled upon this place. Food was delicious and the service was amazing. Owner offered us free drinks (homemade by his wife, who also works there). It was so thoughtful and a nice touch. A cute day date spot. In a market that seems so casual, it has an upscale feel. Bar was beautiful and I enjoyed how close the oven is. The cacio e-pepe pasta is a great choice for anyone that likes pasta without all the extras. Classic. read more

Pizza and Pasta Bar - Spaghetti Pasta Cacio E-Pepe and Ravioli with Pesto - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I don't really do reviews but this place was way over priced and food at best was mediocre. A cheese pizza and one pasta dish totaled over $95. Got charged $4 extra to add marinara sauce to my pasta dish. I've been to Italy and little Italy in Boston and San Diego not one restaurant ever charged to have sauce put on pasta. Also an automatic service fee of 20% for my three kids and my wife then still tried to have me select a tip. Im ok with tipping but when you don't drop water for us and it's self seating and they don't provide any extra service sorry. I wouldn't even give it one star. So many way better place In pike market then this place. I always give a place a chance that's why I stayed even after I saw the price I was expecting great food but what a disappointment. read more

This was a stop on our chef-guided tour with Eat Seattle, and it was divine! We tried hot and fresh margherita pizza. Very tasty and made me want to come back to try more of their offerings. It's next to Pike Place Chowder, so don't wait in line, go here when you're at the Market! read more

This place was a spot on a food tour I attended. There was a decent amount of tables inside. They offered traditional pizza choices as well as various forms of pasta and sandwiches too. We were given a slice of margherita pizza. This was not that good. There was a lack of sauce present, and the crust was flabby. The crust was the biggest turn off here as it just did not have much flavor. The sauce did have a slight kick to it that I did not mind, but overall, the slice was not the best. Will I go back? Unsure. read more

Food is good. But be aware of 20% auto gratuity added, service fee and an option to pay a tip on top of that.

I was really disappointed with my experience here. When I placed my order with the lady who seemed to be the owner, I asked for water and was given bottled water, which I was charged for. I clarified that I wanted tap water from the soda fountain, but they still charged me 75 cents. At first, her attitude felt unfriendly and pushy, with pressure to order more. Then the guy who was managing the tables said something to her, and suddenly her demeanor changed, she became overly chatty while we waited for our food. It came across as inconsistent and not genuine. The food itself was very expensive for the value, and overall the whole experience left me feeling nickel-and-dimed. Between the water charge, the upselling, and the uneven service, I would not recommend this place or return. read more

The food was AMAZING. Very delicious and authentic italian food. The service was quick and the workers were very welcoming and kind. They have indoor and outdoor patio and to go. Very wonderful place to visit, will definitely return every time we visit Seattle read more

Away from the craziness of Pike's market, but still close enough, is this cozy place for delicious food. My son and I stopped in for pizza and was greeted with such warmth by owner Bruno. We talked about life, college, and had his delicious pizza. An amazing experience! We are coming back for cannoli. read more

Great place, people, and food. The owner served us and he is amazing. Not one bad thing I could say about this place!

Very well established, pizza was amazing, the owner was very kind and welcoming, cannot recommend enough!

So so so good! The ambience was so relaxing, the service was OUTSTANDING! And the pasta was so good! Loved it here !

Simply the best hidden spot at Pikes Place. The Meatball Sandwich is simply amazing. Same for all the sandwiches. The espresso and desserts were also perfect. And the staff... the kindest and most genuine. We highly recommend this place for a bite while downtown. It's a small dine-in space, so be prepared for the coziness. Five stars. read more

Pizza and Pasta Bar - Chicken Fettuccini with Homemade Alfredo Sauce - Pizza Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It was too expensive for the small portions of food. We paid about $82 for a shrimp fettuccini Alfredo, lobster pesto ravioli, and one Fanta drink. They automatically added a 20% "service charge." And upon payment, their machine asks for an optional tip. I don't know what service this included as they just took our order and placed the plates on our table. No one came back to check on us. To our hungry disappointment, our portions were incredibly small. I was astonished at how small the portions were when we paid so much. I checked in on Yelp and was given a free garlic bread if I paid over $50. I showed it to the cashier and she agreed to allow me to redeem. The bread was amazing. Fresh and buttery. I was able to fill up more with the bread which made up for the small portions. The space is small but feels intimate. read more

Want to spend $82.14 on one pizza and 3 waters? Want to take out a home equity line of credit or perhaps work a street corner to afford a medium pepperoni pizza? Ever felt like you had too much money? Then this is the place for you! Jokes aside, the food was fine but the prices were extreme for what you're getting. We discovered afterward that there is a 20% service fee for eating in the restaurant, despite us being the only diners there. One of the most aggressively average pizzas for a luxury price. We knew things would be pricey given the touristy market atmosphere but this was robbery. I could maybe forgive it if I found out the pizza oven was heated by flaming cash, though. Our host was very nice. I wish him well. read more

I barely give bad reviews, but the owner is a scumbag and scammer. My girlfriend and I were visiting Seattle from LA and decided to stop by Pike's Place for some food. We saw an interesting looking Pizza and Pasta Bar and decided to order some pasta. Not only were we over-charged $45 for one pasta, but the owner and his cashier were completely rude. The added a "20% service fee" immediately while we were paying without even telling us. The owner also gave me attitude while I was waiting for my girlfriend to pay. I was leaning against the chair because I sprained my ankle a couple of days prior and he kept instigating and interrogating me on whether I was going to purchase something even though my girlfriend was literally at the cashier paying for both of us! After we paid, he then yelled "Don't bring any outside food or drinks while eating at my place" even though we had nothing on us. 0/10 for customer service. Ambiance was awful and you could tell that even his cooks were uncomfortable working there. Thanks for making our Seattle experience less memorable Bruno! read more
