Delicious Italian from famed local chef Ethan Stowell in a very PNW modern space that's anchored by one giant community table and an open kitchen that's fun to watch. It's dark and sexy here, good for a date or a bunch of adults getting together. The gnocci is super unique, it comes like big marshmallows lined up in a baking dish. Get one for the table. There's another location on lower Capitol Hill but this is the original, and our favorite.

This is hands down the best pasta in Seattle. Has a cult following, and lines out the door. You have to order before you can sit, and despite the crowds, it always seems that there's a seat when you need it. Just a few dishes are available everyday, always one or two for vegetarians. Don't overlook the bread and kale salad, but the pasta is the star. You can buy dried pasta and sauces to go too. Open for lunch on weekdays only. Go closer to 2PM to wait less.

Charming wine bar in an old house with light, shareable bites on the little main drag of the Madrona neighborhood. Like the someliers and their wines, the cheesemonger will also give you an earful if you order the cheeseplate—they take their curation seriously. Patio seating for nice days.
