The Best Pasta Restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle
"Esters is an all-too-rare spot that functions just as well for a date-night dinner as it does for grabbing a quick bite after work, thanks to its order-at-the-counter-and-bus-your-table-casualness being balanced with a thoroughly conceived atmosphere. The pasta here follows suit with simplicity plus nice touches: amatriciana features squid ink bucatini along with supple pieces of squid and pork belly for added richness. Elote ravioli is a playful combination of Italian and Mexican flavors, with lime-cilantro oil, cotija, and ancho chili powder counterbalancing a rich cream sauce. But maybe the nicest touch of all is Esters Enoteca’s true commitment to gluten-free dining: The entirety of the small plates menu is gluten-free, every pasta dish can be made instead with top-notch gluten-free fettucini, and dedicated surfaces, utensils, and fryers are used for all GF items." - Eater Staff
