About Seahorse Restaurant

Scratch-made pasta and generous Italian cooking anchor this cozy neighborhood fixture in The Spot. Chef-owner Pasquale turns out fresh ribbons from scratch, sliding plates of fettuccine marinara, garlic bread, and spaghetti aglio e olio across checked tables without charging a fortune. It sits directly across from the Ritz Cinema—handy when you need dinner before the opening credits or a late table past 9:00 PM when nearby kitchens have already closed down. Wrap up with a piping-hot sticky date pudding drenched in brown butter sauce.

  • Scratch-made pasta: Chef-owner Pasquale makes the pasta from scratch, starring in dishes like fettuccine marinara and aglio e olio.
  • Cinema-side & late hours: Conveniently set opposite the Ritz Cinema, offering reliable dining before showtimes or well past 9:00 PM.
