			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The hallmark of Piedmontese cuisine is its simplicity, allowing the quality of the ingredients to shine.</strong></p>
<p>Since opening in August of 2008, Spinasse has garnered much acclaim for its interpretation of the traditional cuisine of the Piedmont region of Northern Italy. Chef Jason Stratton and his team create simple, refined dishes grounded in authentic techniques from Piedmont, while incorporating the products of artisans and small farmers from the Pacific Northwest.</p>
<p>We welcome you to enjoy our handmade pastas and seasonally inspired dishes and desserts, alongside a carefully curated wine list. Our dining room reflects an authentic, rustic classicality, found in Piedmontese trattorias, and our small bar features a birds-eye view of our open kitchen. Wherever you sit, your enjoyment of our food and the restaurant is of primary importance to us.</p>

<p>12 reservations available</p>
<p>Founded at the end of the nineteenth century, in an area where Dolcetto vineyards have been a typical feature for centuries, the Pecchenino farm has always been family run, and the land has passed from father to son throughout its history. From the beginning of the twentieth century, the farm was led by Attilio Pecchenino (the grandfather). In the 70s, the farm was given to Marino Pecchenino (Attilio’s son), and in 1987 to Orlando and Attilio (Marino’s two sons) who currently own it and manage it.</p>
<p>After having worked long and hard to promote the Dolcetto variety and Dogliani wines, brothers Attilio and Orlando have also realized their dream of making Barolo. In 2004 they were able to lease part of Le Coste vineyard in Monforte d’Alba. Their Barolo Le Coste 2004 was released in the US in the spring of 2008.</p>
