The Secret Door That Takes You To The Best Italian Food In Washington

If you’ve spent any time exploring Seattle’s Pike Place Market, you’ve probably walked right by The Pink Door without even knowing it. The entrance is an actual small, light pink door that sits in the Post Alley, barely noticeable to passersby. But not only is the interior breathtakingly beautiful, there’s a lot going on inside — including some of the best Italian food you’ll ever try.

The physical address for The Pink Door is 1919 Post Alley, but you'll probably have to do a little hunting to find it.

The Pink Door serves amazing Italian food, but they’re not the only place in Washington where you’ll find scrumptious pasta and pizza. These Italian eateries are also delicious (and easier to find).
