Forchetta Pastificio storefront

Coming Summer 2026

Il Pastificio.
A pasta market, made in Seattle.

A pasta grocery, a working factory behind glass, a small cafe, and a classroom — all under one roof. Opening summer 2026.

The idea

Pasta fatta a mano, ogni giorno.

Our pastificio is part shop, part workshop. Walk in for fresh pasta cut that morning, watch the extruders running through the window, and pick up the olive oil, tinned fish, and tipo 00 flour to finish the dish at home.

Stay for an espresso and a panino at lunch, or sign up for an evening class and roll your own tortellini.

Classes

Cooking & pasta-making classes

Hands-on evenings learning to mix, roll, and shape pasta from our pasta makers. Small groups, real techniques, wine included.

Grocery

Fresh & dry pasta, daily

Tagliatelle, ravioli, agnolotti, trofie, pappardelle — cut that morning, plus dry shapes and our extruded line for the pantry.

To-Go

Pasta plates & panini

A short lunch menu of pasta to-go, Italian sandwiches on house focaccia, and a daily soup. Built for the walk back to the office.

Gelato

Gelato made in-house

A small case of seasonal gelato and sorbetto, made with northwest fruit and proper Italian technique.

Caffè

Espresso bar

Italian-roasted espresso, cappuccino in the morning, caffè corretto in the afternoon. Standing room at the bar.

Pastificio

Watch the pasta being made

Our production floor sits behind a glass wall in the middle of the shop. Come in any morning and watch the day's pasta come off the line.
