Osteria la Spiga

10/10 and one of my favorite spots in Seattle. I went while visiting friends 7 years ago and remember the ambiance being amazing. Went last night for a goodbye dinner for a large group and the service and food were on point. I expected to be there for hours, but we had a set menu and the food came out quickly and was such a nice balance between salad, veggies, cheese, meat, bread and pasta. Everyone loved the lasagna. I’m gluten free and had low expectations because GF pasta is not on the menu, but they unexpectedly brought me GF bread (fresh baked!!), pasta, and the flourless chocolate tart was naturally GF. I also ordered a GF non-alcoholic beer. I was in heaven. 🤣 Just wish I’d taken more pictures. Can’t wait to come back with out of town guests!

Good Italian food in a beautiful space. Excellent for gluten-free (GF) folks with a lot of GF options, including GF pasta). Favs were the Crostini del Poggio Rosso (crostini topped with pate and slices of beef tenderloin and truffle oil - $8 per piece) and their Grandma's tiramisu (light, unctuously creamy, and not too sweet). Also got the Gnocchetti con Salsiccia e Spinaci (ricotta gnocchi with spinach, sausage and tomato - $23) and Tagliatelle al Ragu (meat and tomato sauce - $21), both were good. While overall a little pricey for my taste, the ambience and cocktails make this a cute date night out.
