- YYemanyavipBoston / New England •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur experience at Spinasse was hands down one of the most memorable meals I have had in recent memory. The food was outstanding, the pastas were a definite hit, but the duck leg with polenta and our asparagus wrapped with taleggio and prosciutto were divine. Fresh, well prepared, and effortlessly traditional feeling while still having a PNW twist. Our server Vanessa was what really put the night into rare air for us. We felt like we were the only people being served in a busy restaurant. She was caring and attentive, and made our special occasion feel shared by her and the rest of the team at Spinasse. Though we didn't have a chance to catch their name, the chef also had a hand in making our already wonderful experience that much more special with his amazing generosity at the end of our meal and throughout. Thank you for making our after-wedding night so special.More infoSpinasse$$$$• Italian• Capitol Hill / First Hill•4.8
- ECElaineCFresno / San Joaquin Valley •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOur experience was wonderful. The service was first rate and the food was delicious. We had gnocchi and a rabbit dish(gf) on the happy hour menu. We enjoyed the house red and white wine. The puffed bread was delicious. We had reservations at 4:30 when they opened which worked perfectly for our schedule. The prices are a good value for excellent food!More infoOsteria La Spiga$$$$• Italian• Capitol Hill / First Hill•4.4
