The owner/chef is friendly - IF - you spend what he believes is a – This ended up being the rudest dining experience we've ever had. Mike, the owner/chef was friendly at first, sitting down with us to discuss our likes and dislikes for dinner. I felt that this in-your-face "best buddy" technique seemed fake and it made me uncomfortable. My instinct about that rang true later on. Everything seemed like a sell, as he offered us wine and salads. We ordered a pizza only, which was basically what we came in for anyway. He told us... read more

Everything is fresh and original at my favorite lunch buffet! For $7.95 you get all-you-can-eat gourmet pasta dishes, pizza, and salad. Staff is happy and swift and really seem glad you're there. That's it! I'm headed there now!

Pasta Freska is great for parties and other events too! – I have eaten at Pasta Freska on many occasions and have treated many friends and family to this fantastic restaurant, all of whom have been simply delighted. There are many reviews on this place but I'd like to add that it is also a great place to hold a party or even a benefit as was held for me a few weeks ago. I am a freelance photographer (read no employer, limited insurance), recently recovering from cancer surgery and chemotherapy. My sister decided to throw a b... read more

Tasty food, Fun vibe. – I love this place. The tables are placed close together but it doesn't seem crowded. There is only a tiny waiting area in the front, we got there a bit late so we had to wait a few min. no big deal the wine helped pass the time. Mike (the owner) personally takes care of his guests, making sure you wine glass is never empty and that everyone is having a great time. The close seating, and small space make for a noisy bustling atmosphere that sort of enhance the whole experience. Keep in mind Pasta Fresk... read more

Astonishing quantities of traditional Italian comfort food fills this cozy Lake Union restaurant with a happy crowd of regulars. – The Scene With a dim, oddly-shaped dining room and casual rooftop deck, this neighborhood favorite feels like a party from the first peek through the door. Chef-owner Mike Horri is likely to greet everyone personally, popping open a bottle of wine for each table while inquiring about food allergies. Don't be surprised if he coerces half the restaurant to sing "Happy Birthday" to a table in the ot... read more

What an experience! – My wife and I went to Pasta Freska a few nights ago, on the recommendation of a friend. We were expecting something very good, but the reality was extraordinary! Mike and his staff were gracious, attentive, personable, and professional, in a very casual and friendly way. The food was simply incredible. I'm a vegetarian, my wife eats seafood and no other meat. Mike made us a meal to remember for a lifetime, while taking the constraints into account. Our meal was incredible, the wine his staff selected wa... read more

Just sit back, relax, and let them do the work! – This is the kind of place you hear about in Europe. Course after course of tantalizing surprise!! The best part is, Mike Horri owner personally visits every table to magically decide what is you drink, sample, taste, eat, feast over, and finally indulge! Tonight was a Saturday night driving friends of the family from Florida on an anniversary vacation. We came across Pasta Freska completely by accident. We walked in at about 7:30pm looking for a slice of pizza and a beer. Boy... read more

Best Service and Best Italian Food anywhere! – 5 Star is no longer then standard, Pasta Freska raises the bar and exemplifies 10 star service!!! When we walked into the restaurant we were greeted by Chef Mike and his team of pasta professionals. We were expecting the typical spaghetti, linguini, etc... BUT NO! We were guided on a SURPRISE DINNER extravaganza! Each course was specifically prepared for us, from chicken marsala, eggplante parmesan, and the most wonderful seafood pasta dishes ever. The service was amazing, and c... read more

A stinker of service – After going online and reading about Pasta Freska I was thinking it will be great. What a disappointment. But after reading the reviews about the service its soo true. The service is horrible. I waited for a table, there was 3 tables full. Then no water, the waitresses were so unfriendly. I thought I was a leper. Didn't even say hello, or welcome. It was like a tedious chore for them. And waited for the wine which had to ask numerous times for. I could have walked to the corner grocery to get a bottle.... read more
