"If you’ve been trying to get into The Pink Door lately with no luck, come for lunch instead. Order the best lasagna in town, a crisp caesar salad, and some garlicky grilled bread. Consume with some bubbles (in wine or water form) for maximum enjoyment of the waterfront. You can get a reservation starting 30 days in advance, but if you try for something last-minute, you'll probably be left with tables for a late lunch at 3pm. If you try and book three weeks ahead of time, you'll usually be able to snag a late dinner at 9pm." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"You go to The Pink Door to eat excellent Italian food, drink wine, and watch trapeze artists perform above you and your linguine. Things are a little less chaotic at lunch, and they still serve the greatest hits, like creamy spinach lasagna that’ll distract you from any monologues about synergy. It helps that scoring a midday reservation last minute is easy—or “low lift,” if you’d prefer.

"Beyond the unmarked, literal pink door at this iconic Pike Place Italian spot, you’ll find an elegant circus-restaurant hybrid, with low lighting, a mural of a court jester, thick curtains, and acrobatic talent swinging on silks above you and your linguine with clams. It’s a wacky place for you to leave everything behind and escape real life for a night. Don't forget an order of lasagna and grilled bread.

"If you’re actually on top of things and are preparing for your parents’ arrival weeks in advance, The Pink Door is the part-burlesque circus, part-Italian trattoria where you should absolutely take them. It’s smack in the middle of Pike Place Market, so it’s a prime location for post-sightseeing crudo, caesar salads, and incredible housemade pastas. An order of fettunta (fancy grilled garlic bread) is mandatory for the table, and get the fresh spinach lasagna to give your parents the best day of their lives (next to the day you were born).

"This Italian Restaurant is one of the most popular and mysterious date spots downtown. Located just outside of Pike Place Market in Post Alley, walk through an unlabeled “pink door” to a lower-level dining room with vaulted ceilings and quirky décor. Try to grab a seat on the deck with views of Elliot Bay, or—depending on the night—near the giant swing that hangs from the ceiling, where you just might catch a trapeze show. We highly recommend making a reservation—it gets busy!" - Parker
