11 of Eastern Washington’s Best Restaurants - Eater Seattle

"Larch’s fine Italian cuisine may seem out of place in the little Bavarian-inspired mountain town of Leavenworth. But wander inside for an experience that mimics the southern side of the Alps, fostered by the scent of fresh-baked bread and bold aromatic herbs. Chef Ben Herreid’s full line of bronze die-pressed handmade pastas pair with seasonal ingredients, from pappardelle rolling in ragu to campanelle tossed with woodsy boscaiola sauce, leaving nothing to chance. As for accompaniments, the octopus is tender enough to cut with a fork, the tiramisu a delicate slice of the divine." - Teo Bicchieri
