- RRonaldoSeattle / Eastern Washington •6 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOne of Seattle's very best pasta dishes, the tajarin al burro e salvia: hand-cut flat noodles, thinner and more delicate than tagliatelle, is the standout dish. $18 for a generous "half portion." Easily shared, a full order is $31. Don't miss the rabbit meatballs, either. Spinasse defines the second generation of Italian restaurants in Seattle, no longer the exclusive domaine of immigrant families.More infoSpinassePrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Capitol Hill / First Hill•4.8
