I had the Tagliarini - arugula pistachio and lemon pesto and the other dish web ordered was the cannelloni filled with pancetta, kale and fromage blanc with salsa pomodoro.. I am veggie so I can only tell you about the tagliarini., it was oh SO good!! Good food always makes one grateful and this one did..
There are antipasti options too but we went for the mains.. The portions are just right.. Not the usual huge no one can possibly finish this sizes.. The place is open only weekdays for lunch... Great food! -

It is definitely worth the work to seek this place out for a delicious lunch. Located in a gelateria, Il Corvo serves up delicious fresh pasta Tuesday thru Friday. They have 3 or 4 pasta dishes with varying toppings and sauces depending on what is in season. I had the tagliatelli with house cured pancetta, Tuscan kale and cream and it was melt in your mouth good. The pasta was fresh and tender and perfectly cooked and typical to "true" Italian cooking wasn't overly doused with a heavy cream sauce. The flakes of kale in the sauce provided a little bit of green goodness and of course the bits of pancetta were perfectly salty and provided more richness. One of my friends had the cavatelli with braised pork "peposa" which was a short, fork tine patterned pasta with a winey, braised pork sauce. It was quite good and had a richness from the wine and braised pork.
The outdoor patio makes this a great spot when the weather is nice. It is a very casual environment but has some of the energy from the Pike Place Market crowds. I highly recommend going out of your way to leave the office for some great lunchtime pasta! -

I have to say, this place was tricky to find. I met up with a friend visiting for the weekend and has been wanting to try this place since they make their pasta. Like what some of the reviews have already stated, this place is actually inside of a gelato shop.
The menu is very simple, where they offer a few appetizers and feature three pasta dishes that change daily. We ordered bread and oil, ravioli and lasagna. Hands down, my friend and I thought Il Corvo makes the BEST lasagna we have tasted. Okay well it ties with Gaia's in NYC but I'm not exaggerating since it's not my favorite Italian dish. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce was on point. We actually wished we had our own to hog after our meal. The ravioli was great as well but the lasagna definitely was the better of the two.
Also, one must not one dine here without ordering a glass of wine. For $5 a glass, it's definitely affordable.
CASH ONLY. If you need an ATM, the gift store across the hallway has one with a low price of $2.50. =P -

How have I lived in Seattle for a year and not one of my so-called foodie friends has ever mentioned this place?! My favorite place for Italian is and now maybe was Bizzarro in Wallingford, but this place has deeply confused my heart and where it wants to lie when it wants amazing and fresh pasta dishes. Il Corvo is a totally different atmosphere than Bizzarro, but makes me immediately wish that A. I had a more room in my stomach for more helpings of their dishes and B. That I could go there everyday. All I have to say is go there ASAP! I love this tiny little gem after just one stop.

Beautiful food doesn't belong in an ugly to-go box.
Yesterday I stomped through dirty puddles of water settled on the cobblestone road, zig-zagged my way through awestruck tourists crowding up the market, and trekked down the Pike Place Hillclimb stairs. My agenda was to try the pasta at Il Corvo. With less than one hour of my lunch break I asked the employee at the register if I could take my food to go. The employee wanted to check with the chef. While she did that I decided to take a picture of the menu on the whiteboard. She came back and said that it's best not to take it to go. "Hmmm..." I thought to myself. "Could it be that good?" I accepted her response but I did not want to leave empty handed. I ordered a scoop of gelato.
I got back to work and consulted my co-worker. Co-worker's response: The chef is probably QC-ing his work. I consulted a friend a couple hours later. Friend's response: It's probably better hot on a plate anyway than eating it from a box.
Determined to still try their pasta I came back today. I took a faster route back to the restaurant with more time to spare for my lunch hour. I ordered the Spaghetti alla Puttanesca. It tasted pretty good. I was also happy I had a place to sit. It was busy yesterday and it was busy today. I finished it all.
When I was done I walked up to the gelato counter and spoke with a couple employees. I thanked them for encouraging me not to take away their food in a to-go box yesterday. The female employee asked if they said it in a nice way. I said yes, smiled, and left the restaurant full and happy. -

I have a lot of love for this quirky little place. I really feel like I could eat here every day and not get tired of it, which is saying a lot since I am well known among my friends for always wanting to try somewhere new. In spite of that, I've made it to Il Corvo for lunch dozens of times, and can't wait to go back again. And why should I? Perhaps I'll go right now!
The pasta is fresh and delicious, the staff is delightful, and the location makes me smile. -

God it's so crowded there at lunchtime!!!!! BUT SO GOOD!!!
As other reviewers say, portions are small and AMAZINGLY delicious! I was daydreaming about the homemade pasta for days after eating there. Next time I go I'll definitely get my own entree, and split another one with my dining companions.
They do offer sides (bread and olive oil, olives, etc).
Cash only.
Open for lunch only, 3 options each day. -

Staff is friendly, you can see the chef work literally feet away and the aroma adds on to the experience. Definitely unpretentious which makes eating here that much more laid back. Pastas are great as you all read.
YOU MUST ORDER BREAD. If you don't you will miss out on sopping up those amazing, seasonal sauces. "Scarpetta" :) -
Review from Nina N.
Cute, small, delicious, authentic, fast, and a great find!
I have frequented this new pasta restaurant only a few times, and every time I wish I could eat for a few hours and order all three pasta's then wait till they add in another pasta dish and order that. I just wanted to be pasta'd out!!! :)
I literally could eat their gnocchi all day everyday, or their spicy sausage spaghetti. Yummy!!!!!!
Their portions seem small when you are starving, and the smell of garlic is roaming around your salivating mouth but don't fret friends. just finish the bowl with a cup of espresso or wine and it'll be perfect portions. Honestly, I kept wanting to order all three bowls to see which one I wanted and was very convinced that I could finish all three hahahah
warning : if you go too late, they might run out and you'll be out of luck.
Be sure to be courteous of the new people dining because this is not a sit down all day bistro, it's a eat, enjoy and leave type of place. :) -

I ordered the cavatelli with a puttanesca style sauce. It was DELISH. The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce itself was slightly pungent and flavorful. The service was friendly and prompt. The only downside is the TEENY TINY portions for $9. I ate around 12:30 and literally left hungry. I thought maybe it would go away if I just waited, but it didn't. I couldn't tolerate the hunger any longer and got a second lunch at 1:45.
And just for the record, I'm not a humongous tub of lard who eats a shit ton of food in one sitting. I'm a thin Asian girl (5'6"/120 lbs) with a healthy appetite. Like another reviewer said, I'd much rather pay $12-15 and receive a filling meal.
My strategy for next time is to go with another person and order three entrees total. I saw lots of people doing this actually. Seems like I'm far from the only one who finds the portions stingy. -

Under ten bucks for fresh made pasta? Yep. I don't recall what type.of pasta I had, but it was served with a black pepper braised pork ragu. It was so wonderfully full of black pepper!
Definitely one of the better deals in the Market area, and a little off the beaten path if you're looking for some peace and quiet without straying too far from the Market.
Do make sure you bring cash as they do not accept cards, and the nearby ATM charges $3.50 for a transaction. Oof! -

Very likely the best pasta in all of Seattle. This place was tricky to find, but that was also part of the allure for me.
Once there, we ordered both the tagliatelle and the cavatelli. While the former was delicious and surprisingly light for a pasta in its own right, the latter featured braised pork and a wine sauce that were unbelievable.
Moving forward, I could never visit this place too often. -

Sometimes, less is more and sometimes, silence is indicative of an incredible meal. The concept is pretty simple -one guy, producing 3 fresh pasta dishes daily, in the back of a gelateria. But the result is amazing and I was definitely wowed by my first trip to Il Corvo.
There are 3 dishes daily, and if you go with another person, it's definitely worth ordering all three! I ordered the sage pappardelle with housemade pheasant sausage, and it was very flavorful. The subtle sage went well with the slight gaminess of the pheasant, and I loved the rich reduction instead of a sauce.
The strozzapreti with roman tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella was outstanding and the x-factor was the handcut pasta with amazing texture. Finally, maccheroni, with mushrooms, madeira and mascarpone was the perfect fall dish.
It's definitely with signing up for the blog - you see what the daily specials are and the pictures are very tempting. Will definitely be back, but remember, bring cash, and they are open weekdays only from 11-3. -
Review from Henry S.

The pasta dishes at this joint is ridiculously amazing. Mike really knows how to make fantastic pasta. I've had the cavatelli and pappardelle, both were amazing. The texture is extraordinary- chewy and firm, just how i like them to be.
The menu rotates daily depending on the season. Check the blog before you go to see what's on their menu today and if they're open.
Note: cash or check only. -

Situated next to the bug museum and an eel skin factory outlet, this place is awesome! A must try :)
The pasta is hand-made and freshly cooked. The pasta is cooked al dente, aka perfect!- just a little firmness for that great texture. The sauces are very scrumptious with layers of flavor. And gelato awaits you after your meal.
The staff are very friendly and attentive. I asked for hot water and a slice of lemon - the staff brought out a fresh, whole lemon and cut me two slices. Everything is fresh!
The only thing that would make me take off half a star (if I could) are the small portions. This would be a light lunch.
Will come again. And don't forget to bring cash! -

They are open Monday to Friday, from 11:30-2, or something really specific like that. Hand-made pastas, with really eclectic, and stupendous flavor.
I came here drawn by the gelato, (this place is like a shop within a shop), and was piqued by the pasta. I had no plans to eat here, but then saw the reviews. Having arrived on a Friday, this was the last chance I was going to get. So, I took the plunge and was glad I did.
Squid-ink pasta with smelt, parsley, and olive oil and some subtle flavor I couldn't really catch. It was delicious. Kind of strange at first, I must have not read the smelt all that well because it certainly would not have been my first choice, but with each additional bite, I dug it more.
Highly recommended if you can get away and try it out. -

Could make an argument for the best pasta in the NW! Mike is the bomb and creates magic each day with his special pasta tools. The sauces are simple yet dynamic in the flavors they contain. Check out the blog each day for the specials and to see what else is going on in the world of Il Corvo. I can't wait to get a spot in one of his pasta making classes. It is my favorite spot to grab lunch in all of Seattle.

Best pasta in Seattle, hands down! Always fresh and delicious, the handmade pasta that Mike and co. serve here is amazing. Using non-traditional sauces to deliver interesting and unique flavors, the 3-4 dishes that changes daily are always tasty (you can check out their website to see what the daily offerings are). The portions may look smaller than most pasta joints, but considering this place is open only for lunch, having a huge meal to stuff your face in isn't optimal (and let's face it, most pasta places give you more food than you need and have you bringing home leftovers, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but that's not the point).
A quick tip: This place is not easy to find if you've never been. It's located inside Procopio Gelateria. Gelato for dessert! Make sure to bring cash, because they do not take credit cards.
The quality of the pasta here is supreme. The fact that the menu changes on a daily basis makes you want to come back for more, and you probably want to bring friends, just so each of you can order the whole menu so everybody can try a bite of each. I can easily say that I have not tasted a mediocre dish here. If you're in the area for lunch, you owe it to yourself to eat here. -

Got to try it when I can!
Il Corvo is a recently opened Italian pasta spot that shares space with Procopio Gelateria. The specialty here are the freshly made pasta offerings. Given that they are only open weekday lunch hours, this is a bit like Salumi in that unless you work in Downtown Seattle or are touristing in town, you are missing out on the opportunity to try this place for yourself.
It is a humble space that is located on the Pike Street Hill Climb up to the Market from Alaskan Way and the Waterfront. As a point of reference, it is located one staircase down from Kasala and a couple up (or is it one?) from El Puerco Lloron if that helps. There is some outdoor seating here, though it has a bit of an obstructed view. Still nice eating al fresco style when the sun is out.
Menu is simple. Maybe 3 or 4 pasta choices to choose from for $9 each after tax. The nice thing about the offerings are that they do change which keeps things spicy.
Out of the available selections for the day, I went with the one which was the most unfamiliar to me which was the malloreddus with sage and parmesan bechamelle. Malloreddus is Sardinian in origin and translates into English as teardrop pasta.
As a few of the other reviews mentioned, the portion size is quite small. Maybe a dollar or a dollar and a half too high for what you get. Still I think the pricing and somewhat hard to find location keeps this place from becoming a madhouse lunch spot like Salumi is.
The malloreddus was good. Fresh pasta is always the superior choice. I like the sage and parmesan combo here. Though a bit like eating mac and cheese. And given that Beecher's is just up the street, I think it was a bit too similar tasting. Though there are differences like the pasta used and that the pasta at Il Corvo is made to order.
I think the pasta at Il Corvo is worth a try due to the freshness factor, though it is a bit pricey for what you get. I am not sure one order would satiate. Though this could be a good thing for tourists visiting this spot as it leaves space for them to try the gelato or any of the many food places at the Market and/or Waterfront. -

I had the Quadrucci (square pasta) is a really nice and hearty bolgnese sauce and shared a cabonara. I have to admit the pasta is really good, you can taste the difference of the pasta due to their technique.
A hole in the wall that is good for lunch, and easy on your wallet.
It is across from Pike Place Market, i got lost. -

4.5 stars
Yes, yes, I'm going to be that jerk who didn't give Il Corvo 5 stars.
The pasta was amazing don't get me wrong. I had a squid ink linguine with butter, chilli and Italian parsley. The pasta was so fresh and cooked perfectly and some of the best pasta I've ever had. The parsley was so flavorful.
I also love hole-in-the-walls, but this place is kind of a pain to get to.
Also, I don't mind the $9 price tag because of how good the pasta is, but I wish there was more. I would rather pay $12-15 for a large plate. The portion is the reason I knocked off half a star. If you aren't a piggy like me, this is probably a good size for you, but I'm a fat kid at heart.
Nonetheless, I will definitely be taking my friends here in the future! -

I like the fact that this place is tucked away in a gelato store, close but away from the Pikes Place Market traffic. You kind of need to be "in the know" to come here.
My parents and I shared all 3 of their specials. (We loved the Italian (speaking?) woman at the counter). I could have probably eaten 2 all by myself! Yup, consistent with the other reviews, the portions were small!! But, I agree I would much prefer to eat here, than some mediocre pasta place.
Their sauces were simple, yet extremely flavorful. They had pastas that you usually don't see at your run of the mill Italian restaurants.
My parents, who lived in Italy for several years, thought it was consistent with the wonderful pasta dishes that they had in Italy.
It was pretty empty when we arrived at around 1120 a.m. The place filled up fast and it was a full house around noon.
As I am typing this, I am trying to figure out when I am going there next! -

Truly a gem of a find.
I have been meaning to go here for a little while after hearing good things from a couple friends, and I finally went this past Friday with my gf.
== Food ==
We had the only two remaining pastas which were still available:
* cavatelli with sun gold tomatoes, green beans, mint and lemon
* linguine with an amazing pesto
Both pastas were delicious, as the pasta is handmade and cooked to order. The cavatelli was a light and refreshing dish, and the fresh vegetables in it were a nice surprise. The linguine was richer, as one would expect once you add delicious pesto.
The portions aren't huge, as other reviewers have mentioned, but they should be just right for most.
== Price ==
Il Corvo is only open for lunch on weekdays, and their prices are very reasonable, especially considering that you get top quality pasta made by someone who truly loves the art of pasta making.
== Service ==
There were only 3 people working, but they were friendly, and asked us about how our meal was at the end. The place is very casual, so you bus your own table.
The only downside of this place is that your schedule has to be fairly flexible in order to make it out to enjoy their foods. Other than that, Il Corvo is pretty much perfect as a lunch destination.
PS - check out their blog to get a glimpse of what their dishes look like. -

The food here is f#$!ing fantastic. I subscribe to the daily blog posts and always look forward to what Mike is serving up that day. Because I'm a sort-of vegetarian (salmon, tuna, chicken and turkey are the only flesh-meats to go down my gullet...don't ask why, I am just weird, OK?) and not a huge fan of tomato-based sauces, and because the vegetarian offering of the day is often tomato-based, I don't get here as often as I otherwise might given how delicious the food is. Where else can you get a plate of fresh, tasty, homemade pasta for $9 in this city? Plus you can get gelato afterward. You can't go wrong. And I love supporting a small local business like Il Corvo.
The only rough thing about going here is that, as it's only open for lunch, it makes getting through the rest of the day very difficult. Can you say "carb gut bomb"? Ohh, but it's worth it. -

LOVE LOVE LOVE to come here for lunch at least a couple of times a month.
Their handmade pasta creation are just amazing. They change the menu pretty much daily so you do need to look at their site to see if anything on the menu of the day sounds yummy. I've never been disappointed.
Bring cash!!! They don't accept cards/checks. Also, it's only open for lunch during the week and when they run out of a dish - it's gone.
The cafe is inside of a gellateria on the Pike Place Hill Climb so keep your eyes open when you are going. You can easily walk right on by. -

Tried a pasta dish here the other day. Gotta give him 4 stars for effort and creativity. Pasta was el dente and simply flavored so you could take note of the cheese and oil. I'll update review after another sampling. Also great because the pasta always changes from day to day.

Didn't have much time for lunch, but wanted to do something out of the norm for my birthday. So I headed over to try il Corvo for the first time with friends from work.
The portions are going to seem small to most, but to me are perfect for lunch.
I even tried one of their Canoli and it was really good.
Will definitely come back in the future -

Mike truly knows what he is doing. He keeps it simple but amazing.
Truly amazing ingredients by a guy who knows what to do with it.
Fresh made pasta, with amazing olive oil, parley, and cured tuna heart was on the menu that day and I find myself still thinking about it weeks later. Very reasonable prices, and as soon as the sun comes out it will some how find a way to be even more amazing with those big gorgeous windows letting in the sun. A tad hard to find if you don't know -
Review from Curtis L.
3.5 stars.
My friend told me about this new fresh pasta place next to the gelato place so I thought I'd check it out. First of all, it's inside the Procopio Gelato store or more like part of it. The pasta was fresh and tasted good. We had the cavaletti and linguine both were al dente which how i like my pasta. Too bad the service was just okay, food took longer than expected, cash only and too pricey. It's $9 for a rather small portion. Enough for a small eater but not enough for me. I expect more but it did not deliver. It was good to at least try once. They do sell fresh pasta for you to take home an cook. -

Nestled in the Pike Place Market Hill Climb and operating out of a gelato shop (Procopio Gelateria) Il Corvo would be easy to miss if you were strolling by but you'd be bummed if you did. This place features great hand made pasta prepared with market ingredients.
Shared the farfalle with spicy coppa and fresh sugar-snap peas and a roasted eggplant raviolini with marjoram-tomato sauce. The peas in the farfalle were so aromatic that you could taste them even if you got a bite of the pasta alone and the raviolini were perfectly small and well packed with roasted eggplant a perfectly warming vegetarian pasta for a chilly Seattle afternoon. Will visit again soon. -

Review from Christopher S.

At first blush, this was an odd place. It's not a stand alone restaurant, but essentially just one man at the counter of Procopio Gelateria during lunch. They're only open four hours a day (11AM-3PM), only during weekdays. They only take cash. You order at the counter and bus your own table. The menu has about six items total. There's about twenty seats give or take the few cafe tables outside on the Hill Climb. Despite all of that, I'd highly recommend the place. Why bother with the cash, limited seating and restrictive hours?
Two reasons: The food is absurdly good and is at an insanely reasonable price. There were four in our party. We shared two appetizers : provolone with roasted peppers and pickled rhubarb with speck, drizzled in olive oil. The proprietor also gave us some bread with roast garlic in olive oil as an amuse-boche. I have no idea what brand of olive oil they use but it was delightful, making me think of some of the best cured olives I've had. The rhubarb and speck pairing worked surprisingly well. Two of our party had never had rhubarb before and seemed to enjoy the experience. The roast peppers reminded me of the ones my grandmother would make over the gas range with a long fork, in all the right ways. The provolone wasn't as sharp as I typically like my prov to be, but was still solid.
Main courses were two orders of tagliatelle alfredo, with Capriccio Lucano Di Grotta, one order of Cavatelli with sugar-snap peas, fennel frawns, chili and butter, and one order of spaghetti alle vongole. As a note, all of the pasta is made fresh daily by hand. With near century old tools on a lovely marble table. All of the dishes were outstanding, the pasta cooked perfectly in each dish. All of them were simple, straightforward and ingredient focused. Each of them delightful in their own ways. The goat cheese in the alfredo was powerful but still well balanced by the flavor of the pasta. The vegetables in the cavatelli were all vividly fresh and flavorful. The clams in the spaghetti were plentiful and enjoyable.
And the next best part besides the food? Lunch for four, with sodas, appetizers and gelato, came out to about 60 bucks. Just try to eat that well for that little anywhere else in the city. -

I've come to this place around once or twice a week since Mike opened up and there's a reason I keep coming back. I've never had a bad dish the countless times I've come. At $9 for lunch, you definitely get your money's worth. The combinations are always delicious and the portions are perfect. This is definitely my favorite lunch place.
Oh and the periodic pasta classes are definitely worth it too! -

I've been here probably 5 or 6 times in the last few months and have tried each time to bring new folks with me to evangelize the food at Il Corvo and it appears to be working. Of the 6 or 7 people I've brought here, each one of them has gone back and brought someone else--when you find something this good you've got to get others in on it.
The food is fantastic, perfect portion size and reasonably priced. I find myself getting itchy each day around 10:30 to see what Mike is going to have available that day.
The homemade mortadella is fantastic and every single pasta dish I've had has left me smiling and wanting to try the next item on the menu. Flavor profiles on all the dishes work perfectly together.
In Mike I Trust. -

I have been excited to try this place and finally had the chance to get there for an early lunch! Unfortunately, although it says they open on Mondays at 11 when we arrived at 11:15 it was not opened. So never got to taste the food but quite a trip for a whole lot of nothing!

Great small shop making homemade pasta with a changing menu daily. Love this place. The only thing I had that I didn't like was a pasta with cured tuna. But my dislike wasn't about the quality of the dish, I just think I don't like cured tuna. Go. Bring cash. But go.
