Honoring the food and culture of Emilia - Romagna
Known for its authentic, northern Italian cuisine, the food at la Spiga is a gastronomic tribute to Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. Executive Chef Sabrina Tinsley pairs the finest Italian ingredients with what is freshest in local markets to create seasonal menus that include made-in-house pasta, signature sauces and decadent desserts.
Osteria la Spiga was co-founded in 1998 by Chef Sabrina Tinsley and her husband, Pietro Borghesi, in a quest to bring authentic cuisine from northern Italy to Seattle. In Italy, the Osteria is a welcoming neighborhood spot where locals savor fresh, seasonal food in the company of good friends. Osteria la Spiga is just such a place; the atmosphere is inviting, and the food warms the soul. As co-founder and host Pietro Borghesi says, “An evening at la Spiga is like dining in Italy — without the plane fare.”
