Summary: The SceneLocated in the dramatically remodeled Piston & Ring building, a former auto shop, this large, soaring space exudes warmth from its exposed wood beams and rafters. Large windows at the back expose a peek-a-boo view of the downtown skyline. The crowd of Capitol Hill hipsters and foodies dine at tightly packed tables in one of two rooms or mingle at the long bar.The FoodThe menu features Italian specialties not widely known outside the owners' native Romagna, like the tortelli starter, a pillow of savory potatoes encased in thin flatbread and topped with cured meats. Cheese-lovers should look no further than the wonderfully messy lasagna, a stack of ragu, béchamel and house-made spinach noodles. Tender boar ribs offer a tasty alternative to the usual secondi offerings. If there's still room for dessert, opt for affogato, a shot of espresso poured over ice cream.

Tips:
  • The all-Italian wine list has many affordable bottles and a few glasses; knowledgeable staff help guide lost diners in the right direction.
  • Try to snag one of the leather-upholstered booths near the bar for an intimate dinner.
  • Reservations are strongly encouraged, especially on weekends--though the comfortable waiting area offers a window into the kitchen, where staff is constantly forming pasta.
  

In Italy, the osteria is an inviting neighborhood spot where locals savor fresh, seasonal food while enjoying the company of good friends. Renowned for its Northern Italian cuisine, La Spiga Italian Restaurant is authentic enough in both food and ambience to make you feel a wave of nostalgia, even if you've never been to Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Using the very finest ingredients, menus are changed seasonally to reflect what is freshest in local markets. As co-owner and host Pietro Borghesi says, "An evening at La Spiga is like dining in Italy without the plane fare." Quality live music Sunday and Monday adds to the welcoming ambience. Ideal for night owls, an outstanding late evening menu and imaginative cocktail list makes La Spiga a favorite last stop until closing. Reservations recommended. Call for info regarding Catering/Private Events.

The new location of la Spiga is very modern and industrial. A good date location. The cheese plate was great, however my ravioli was a little bland and hard to eat. The tiramisu is one of the best in Seattle.

Love, love, love this place

When my husband and I get a chance to go out for dinner, we almost always go to La Spiga. The place is huge so despite always being crowded, it doesn't feel overwhelming. They have fantastic booths that are great for couples or parties of four a...

Seattle's Best Italian Food

Not only the best food but an amazing atmosphere. Very sophisticated but unpretentious.
