Larch Handcrafted Pasta & Cocktails is a cozy, upscale Italian restaurant nestled just off Leavenworth’s main drag at 214 8th St. This welcoming spot by Chef Ben Herreid emphasizes handmade pasta shaped and inspired by Pacific Northwestern ingredients, paired with creative cocktails in a warm, intimate setting.

Menu highlights include:

• Seasonal starters like focaccia with spiced tomato oil, arancini, seafood and mushroom dishes.

• A rotating pasta selection—bucatini verde, mushroom ravioli, pappardelle with bolognese, seafood ravioli, and more—crafted from scratch

• Heartier entrées such as sablefish piccata, tenderloin with gnocchi, woodland chicken, and a Spanish‑style seafood paella

Diners and reviewers rave about the exceptional flavor, generous portions, and attentive service, calling it “a culinary gem” and “one of the best restaurants in Leavenworth,” though they also note it’s small and reservations are recommended.

Whether you’re celebrating a date night, dining with family, or sipping cocktails at the bar, Larch offers a refined yet relaxed experience—perfect for a memorable evening in town.
