No matter how you may feel about our biggest city, Seattle, you must admit it’s a paradise for foodies. From the world famous eateries like the Crab Pot to the quiet neighborhood gems, you’ll find something for everyone in the Emerald City (as well as some cuisines you’ve never heard of). But if you’re ever near Pioneer Square at lunchtime, you’ll pobably see a line out the door at Il Corvo — and rest assured, that’s a line that is well worth standing in.

Il Corvo is located at 217 James Street in downtown Seattle.

This is not your average eatery, especially for Seattle.
Dave K. / TripAdvisor
Il Corvo is only open Monday - Friday from 11-3, and the line forms as soon as the doors open.
Several fresh pastas are made in-house daily by owner Mike Easton, who creates a rotating menu.

As you can imagine, the pasta is absolutely addictive, which is why this place is so popular.

Typically, there are only three pastas listed on the menu, with some accompanying light bites.
