DiscoverOur Story

The provenance of Cascina Spinasse dates to 2008 when it opened as a tiny, rustic Italian trattoria with communal seating, a hyper-focus on handmade pasta and the traditional cuisine of the Piedmont region of Northern Italy.  In the following years, Spinasse continued to garner critical acclaim and a loyal following as one of the city’s top Italian restaurants.

Since 2015, Chef Stuart Lane has carried that legacy forward creating simple, soulful dishes grounded in the authentic techniques from Piedmont, while incorporating the products of artisans and small farmers from the Pacific Northwest.

We welcome you to enjoy our handmade pastas and seasonally inspired dishes and desserts, alongside a carefully curated Northern Italian wine list.
