Our first time here! We came for dinner and to catch the Linda Ronstadt Tribute Show. The restaurant was awesome! Service and food were outstanding! Great selection of Italian food. Very clean and great atmosphere. It was a perfect cozy venue for the show.

We’ve been here several times for dinner and a show. First time for Sunday Brunch and it did not disappoint. Tables are a bit closer together during brunch but it’s all in good fun and in the overall experience.

Highly recommend! For years, we have been going to a restaurant for their Chilean Sea-bass this weekend I tried it at this restaurant and this one is now the #1. Everything is delicious. Aside from being a beautiful restaurant and they’re delicious food. All the staff are really nice and welcoming. Will definitely go back.

I stopped into Spaghettini on a random Wednesday afternoon and was completely blown away. I sat in the bar area near the musical stage, which had a great vibe, and the bartender who served me was top-notch friendly, attentive, and on the ball the entire time. Truly one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time. The food? Absolutely fantastic. I had the spaghetti and meatballs, and it was hands-down one of the best versions of the dish I’ve ever had. Huge portion too I eat a lot, and I could barely finish it. The pasta was served piping hot, perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of sauce, and finished with fresh-shaved parmesan right at the table. I also ordered the garden salad, which was super fresh and flavorful, topped with cracked pepper and cheese. Every bite was excellent. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, the service was friendly and welcoming across the board. The place was buzzing even at lunchtime, which says a lot. It’s clear this restaurant has earned its reputation and it absolutely lives up to it. Highly recommend. I can’t wait to go back and try more off the menu!

What a way to enjoy food and music! Excellent Customer Service and the band was awesome, the food was very good. I had the cheese hamburger and fries. It was huge and delicious... Awesome place to go on a date or with friends.

Excellent food, ambiance, and service from start to finish. In town for a visit after seven years and had to stop by one of my old favorite spots. A lovely experience for just the right couple (my brother and his wife).

Just a unique experience and an unforgettable concert!!! You must try it at least once in your California life. Teresa was a sweetheart around our table and the crowd is just a plus to the brunch blast! Amazing 👏 🤩 🙀

I recommend trying spaghettini for special occasions. With my reservation the wait wasn't long at all. There was a big party being attended to while I dined in with my husband and we still were served in a timely manner. The atmosphere is great (candlelight dinner) but the most important thing was the food. The prices are expensive but you 100 percent get what you are paying for.

I celebrated my birthday at Spaghettini and picked it mostly because it's close to Old Ranch Golf Course and had great reviews. We got there around 4PM for an early dinner and were seated in a comfy booth. By 5, the place started filling up -- definitely worth making a reservation. The ambiance was warm and homey, quiet enough for good conversation. Parking was easy, though the entrance was a little confusing -- one turn looked like it led straight to the freeway. The spaghetti with meatballs was hands-down my favorite, right next to the Ahi tower. The seafood pasta and tagliatelle al funghi were a bit bland, and the sweet corn risotto was on the salty side. But the desserts totally made up for it -- both the cheesecake and crème brûlée were amazing. So glad we didn't skip those!

The food was really good. The hostess was very kind. If you come during brunch you have to order from the set menu. It is $70/person and it's a lot of food. The waiter that we had was also not helpful or accommodating. He seemed done with us and our table before he even came to our table. Our service was not good. There is love jazz music which is amazing. You can hear it through the restaurant but need to buy separate tickets to watch the performance.

Pricey, but good BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY $50 Birthday Month credit for Rewards members I had a Spaghettini e-gift card, to go along with the $50 Birthday Month credit, and dined here on 3 recent occasions. I did attend a 94.7 The Wave AYCE Brunch 7 years ago, but still a novice in what Spaghettini offered on their regular menu. Good thing the e-gift card & promo empowered me in ordering some bougie fare. French Dip- Simply delicious! The prime rib slices were so tender. Usually paired with chips or fries, I asked for vegetables, in which I was given the option for Caesar salad. Much better than a French Dip from Arby's or other fast casual restaurant, Spaghettini's French Dip was chef's kiss. Seafood Pasta- Having the trifecta of lobster, crab & shrimp, the Seafood Pasta was creamy pasta excellence. Having the attendant liberally apply ample amounts of freshly shredded cheese upped the cheesy quotient all that much more. Short Rib- Creamy sweet corn risotto, heirloom carrots, horseradish gremolata & lathered in a red wine reduction, The Short Rib was decadently succulent, and a pleasure to eat. 16 oz bone-in Pork Chop- Berkshire pork chop, topped with miso apple compote, paired with Brussel sprout leaves & parmesan polenta. Let me put it like this - after elegantly slicing bite sized pieces on the majority of the tender pork, I grabbed the pork bone and ate all the delicious bits of meat left on it Fred Flintstone-style. Service was excellent. The bartender was friendly & hospitable, and the wait for food was negligible. A small parking lot in front of the restaurant, additional parking is available at the Bixby Business Center across Old Ranch Pkwy. Valet parking is also an option. Masterly crafted cuisine, with prices to match, Spaghettini had me in culinary ecstasy with everything I had the pleasure to dine on. Spaghettini does have great Happy Hour Specials (including French Dip), Weekly Specials, Wine Wednesday & more, to save a little dough over regular price. Not to mention live music events & Sunday Brunch. Spaghettini is a great choice for special occasions, or just an enjoyable meal with sumptuous food & impeccable service to match. I can't wait to come back, with the difficult decision whether to choose new menu items, or go for the delectable French Dip & Short Rib, again. Highly recommend!

Made the trip to Spaghettini to celebrate my uncles birthday. We needed to make a last minute venue change but were able to get a table for 8 at 7pm on a Monday within a few hours. While we waited for our table we got to listen to a great live performance to start our night. I think the seating by the band is at an extra cost but honestly could hear the music throughout the restaurant. Food was good. I honestly am not a huge fan of Italian food in Southern California but the pasta was good. Everyone ended up bringing most of their entree home though because we were so full. Everything is good and pretty filling. Service was great! The birthday boy had a coke and our waiter ensured it was always full and even packed some fresh bread for us since he enjoyed it so much.

Another great visit to Spaghettini this time for lunch. We shared two main dishes and split both, still enough for lunch the next day. Food is always good and service is excellent. Staff is very attentive. Frequent refills for beverages. We didn't have any cocktails but I can attest they have great ones! We started with the Bruscetta, amazing with cherry tomatoes! We shared the Chicken Parmesan and Capellini Pomodoro, both preparedly freshly! We finished with the Creme Brulee! The food came out nicely spaced so we could enjoy each course. We never feel rushed. Remains one of my favorite local restaurants!

Straight out the gate this place deserves 5 stars for service I brought my friend here for her birthday. When I made the reservation I made them aware it was for a birthday They reached out to me the day before we came in and asked for the name of whose birthday it was because they wanted to make a card I absolutely love that they did this. I know this place gets packed and I love that it's such a busy place yet this establishment takes the time to do this. So, thank you to everyone here!! We were greeted right away, the atmosphere is really nice (it was both our first time here) on certain days they have live music and different specials We had the most amazing waiter, Roberto. He was absolutely so kind and kept asking whose birthday it was and how long have we been friends and him talking about his childhood best friends. He was very very easy to talk to and relatable, it was like talking to a friend. I love having waiters like him, He was genuine. The man walking around refilling our waters did an amazing job as well. Our cups were never empty He was so knowledgeable about the menu. He went above and beyond My girlfriend and I wanted to share a large steak and get a bunch of sides. The biggest they had on the menu was 18 ounces. (We saw ahead of time that they had bigger steaks when we searched the menu online) We asked if they had bigger and he informed us they JUST took the 32 oz steak off the menu and made it strictly a weekly special. (Saturday's special I believe) After knowing it was a dinner for my girlfriend's birthday AND we were talking about my upcoming surgery he immediately went to the kitchen and asked if they could pull some strings. Roberto and the rest of the staff came through. The steak was cooked perfectly!! It was juicy, it wasn't too salty and had the right amount of seasoning. (It was on the pricey side. But again, it was for a birthday and pre Surgery. I highly recommend this place for special occasions) Along with the steak we got the Mac and cheese and the scalloped potatoes. (Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious but I'd pass on the scalloped potatoes) They also brought out delicious bread to the table. We ordered drinks that Roberto recommended He recommended the- sitting pretty. Which was a fruity vodka based cocktail. And my girlfriend got a watermelon mint mocktail with no alcohol that he said was one of his favorites At the end they brought out a mini birthday cheesecake and we asked to add a scoop of ice cream. He also took our photo for us with our phone but he also brought out a camera. So they give you a birthday card and at the end they print a photo out and put it inside the card. It was such a perfect touch This was a bit of an older crowd, I noticed. So don't come here expecting a rowdy party. And a lot of people coming here for special occasions. It would be nice to have some wine here with girlfriends. Roberto was telling us all about their special wine menu. So I'll definitely have to come back for some wine and their steak P.S they have a private parking lot with a bunch of handicap spots up close which is a huge bonus

Spaghettini has been a staple spot in Seal Beach for eons. The layout is inviting for all: - large parties, family dinners, celebrations - private space can be reserved - bar style is sophisticated with open seating and efficient service Now, let me tell you what... We sat at a high-top in the lounge where we were serenaded by Mic Dangerously and his pal Alex Vo. These two will make you swoon. Check out these Studs on Wednesdays from 5-7:30pm. We ordered the fried calamari (fresh, not frozen ++++) and the bruschetta made from scratch. Add an espresso martini to the tasty apps and catchy tunes, can't celebrate hump day better than that. Shout out to Roberto for his excellent service!

I treated my parents to dinner here for their anniversary, and we enjoyed every moment of our evening at Spaghettini. I loved the restaurant's upscale vibe, classy interior design, and the dim romantic lighting that created a warm and cozy ambiance. Service was also exemplary. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and she was so kind to my elderly parents. As for the food, everything from the bread to the pasta was delightful. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and I would definitely return for special occasions. Note: Parking in the lot is limited and difficult unless you valet ($10). ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen was invited to a Happy Hour meeting here. What a wonderful place! The space itself is large and comfortable. There is a touch of elegance here that makes this restaurant stand out. The appetizers are delicious. I enjoyed the deconstructed bruschetta, Brussels sprouts, and pizza. We also enjoyed the wine. Our meeting went well and we ended up sitting and relaxing while enjoying the nosh. We are already planning our return for the next meeting. It is important to note there is live music here, a lovely restaurant, and a venue for special events. When we left, I wondered, what took me so long to get here? The end.

We hosted a retirement party here a few Sundays ago and the live jazz set was phenomenal! I've been once before and I for sure come back for the live jazz. The food both times were fine, nothing spectacular but planning this party was the highlight. The sales ladies I worked with were great, no issues and they accommodated me going over my count as folks love to not rsvp but still show up. Parking was fine, valet was cheap and really the band was the highlight!

Well, it's finally time to update that last review, after an off experience prior to my last visit, things have changed for me in a positive aspect. Patrick, the general manager reached out to me and personally made sure that I was taken care of for the off night that I had there. I've been back multiple times since that experience and it's time to let you know that everything since then has been great. The service is never an issue here as all of the servers are great. The bus boys are amazing and I guarantee you you will have a positive experience when dining with them. Going back to what I'm used to the food. The last few times has been totally amazing also Calamari = 10/10 .. bruschetta 10/10 .. sea bass entree 10/10 .. rib eye entree 10/10 I'm going to update my photos now to show the new pictures of the food that I've had there lately. I just wanted to reach out and tell everybody about the positive experience I've had. Thank you spaghettini for making things right I've been a customer for many many years and I will continue to be a loyal customer to you guys . Looking forward to the same great food and same great service that I've had on every opportunity to go enjoy.

We went to this spot after seeing a show in Long Beach! Overall, we had a wonderful time. The ambiance is really great. It very classy inside without being too much. We sat on the restaurant side. There is a side that has a stage where they do live jazz. Just FYI, you do have to buy tickets to the jazz shows. But would come back and do that as it looked fun. Overall, the service was great. Our waitress was really sweet and did a good job in explaining the menu and making great recommendations. She was attentive but also gave some space for us to enjoy dinner. The waiter assistant was great in keeping our drinks refilled and the runners brought out the food right away. Let's talk about the food. We started with a warm bread basket--which was really fresh and yummy. We started with a Cesar salad and the bruschetta. The salad was a good standard salad. My partner said the bruschetta was one of the best he ever had. We got the chicken parm and the parm crusted Chilean sea bass. The chicken parm was a very generous portion on top of fresh made spaghetti. The Chilean sea bass was a little different than I thought--it was coated in melted cheese more than a crust. It did have a bit of a mild fish flavor. It was good, but I enjoyed stealing bites of the chicken parm, personally, I would come back for that. We also got their new spritzers with wine and alcohol--they were very refreshing. Overall, this is a great place that is a little more upscale without being a crazy amount of money. Can't wait to come back for the jazz show!

Spaghettini was a great place to check out on a weekend. They're fairly busy, have lots of parking space, and servers are quick and friendly! Menu has lots of good food options from pasta to soup and bread! Food tastes bomb and definitely recommend for date nights or family nights!

First time here and we want to come back for the show. The meatball appetizer was delicious and perfect to share. The pene special was so good, I wish I had more room to finish it. My husband really liked the chicken Parmesan. Our server was very informative. She told us everything about the two sides of the restaurant and had great recommendations. Service was a little slow but luckily we weren't in a hurry. They were also very flexible with our reservation timing after having some car trouble. The restaurant is split in 2 sides. One for the sit down restaurant and the second for the live show. If you like love music, this is a great place to listen to jazz and many cover artists. Tickets are sold separately and have a minimum for food and beverages. We will love to come back for this and to try more items from the menu.

Such a great pleasure to be here last night! Great music, food and service! Even though the parking was fully occupied and we tried to park in other location that they suggested and it was no spot there! We were lucky to find a parking in last minute. They had a valet but we figured out when we already parked. The restaurant was fully booked so we enjoyed lil bit inside till our outside table got ready! The live music had a high vibes! Even though we were outside but we were able to enjoy the music and it was loud! Overall, we enjoyed this beautiful date night in a great atmosphere! Also, the appetizers and food were delicious.

What an amazing experience, especially for those of us who are gluten free because they have such a good selection of gf items! We came here for my birthday and it was such a fantastic experience. We made a reservation for lunch and everything was so good! The Pommery Shrimp were tender and cooked perfectly and the sauce was to die for. I ordered the Short Ribs and it was one of the best meals I've ever had. The sweet corn risotto was my favorite and the carrots tasted so incredibly fresh. They also have gluten free bread (which is their cauliflower pizza crust) with marinara sauce which was such a treat because I rarely get to participate in the bread basket. I got a creme brûlée for dessert and it was out of this world. Not too sweet but creamy and absolutely delicious. It was our first time here and our waitress Terri was fabulous. She was kind and patient and so down to earth. The manager (I forgot his name) also came by with a sample appetizer and spritz because it was our first time there and made us feel so welcome. We will be coming back here for sure. Oh and pro tip- sign up for their free rewards program and they give you $50 for your birthday not to mention you earn points every time you go that also add up to a gift certificate. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Spaghettini continues to deliver each time I dine here. I came recently and had the pleasure of being served by Natalie who was absolute wonderful. Ordered a few faves like bruschetta and short ribs but also tried the seafood pasta. The butter cake was highlight It was warm and soft and went well with the vanilla ice cream. For cocktails I recommend the Perfectly Pear and Vanilla Old Fashioned. Thank you to Patrick for being so welcoming and making sure all was well.

This is a great place for a special occasion, filled with delicious food, excellent staff, and great live music in the evenings. I came here for dinner in a large party and was able to try many dishes. For appetizers, the persimmons and burrata was a great combination of flavors. Their pastas were also delicious, my favorites were the seafood pasta with the cream sauce, as well as the spaghetti that came with the chicken parm. The spaghetti tasted fresh and handmade, with the perfect chew. I have also tried the Sunday brunch four course menu for $65 a person. This came with a bread, appetizer, entree, and dessert that you can pick from a menu. For the second course, my favorite was the ahi tartare, which was fresh and the perfect contrast of textures with the toasted bread. For the third course, I paid a little extra to try the Chilean sea bass, which was decadent and ridiculously soft. I would highly recommend if you haven't tried the fish before! We ended with a sampler of desserts, and a complimentary cheesecake for celebrating a birthday.

We visited Spaghettini in Orange County to celebrate my sister's birthday, as she'd been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. It was our first time there. The bread brought out at the beginning was definitely a highlight--absolutely delicious! As a bread lover, I truly appreciated that start to the meal. The food overall was very good. My mom enjoyed her seafood pasta, my friend loved the mushroom pasta, and I had the Bolognese. Everyone seemed happy with their dishes. However, several months later, nothing specific about the meal really stands out as a "must-try" or a reason for me to rush back. That said, it's a solid spot with tasty food. I'd definitely go again if invited, but it wouldn't be my first, second, or even third choice to revisit on my own.

Best BRUNCH with live entertainment ever! We attended here as a Ladies Brunch outing. There were 7 in our party. The tickets for the live entertainment are separate from the sitdown brunch. The brunch is a 4-course Prix-Fixe Menu for $65 and includes 1 mimosa. The first course is a fresh basket of bread. The second course is an appetizer. The entree third course gives 3 standard choices with 2-3 upgrade entree options (filet, etc.). Dessert was lemon cheesecake or decadent chocolate cake. The entertainment was live band with singer Erin Stevenson. She is awesome! I highly recommended seeing her. Overall, this was an awesome choice for brunch. The individual mimosas are $8 and they have a brunch cocktails menu ranging from $12-17. I will definitely come again.

Place is nice, we came here on a Saturday night. It was very packed and busy, gladly we made reservation days beforehand. Food was delicious, we got spaghetti meatball and rigatoni. The only thing that kind of confused me was our waitress' wordings. After we ordered our drink orders, she asked if we would like some bread for our table. We were like sure. And when she took our entrée, she asked would you like salad or soup with it. Anyways, at the end of our bill, bread was $7, cup of soup was $7 and salad was $15. It's not about the pricing, it's just the way she asked us made it sound like they were complimentary. Overall, I would come back and try some more food! Love this place, def a really special Italian restaurant.

My family and I go here a few times a year. The food is amazing, and ambiance is always good. The music is a nice addition. It is tough to leave without spending $600 yo $700 for a party of four, but we will continue coming back!

Enjoyed dinner & a show at Spaghettini! First off, the service was just wonderful here. TJ was a great waiter & was always checking in to see if we needed anything. I ordered the spaghetti & meatballs. For the price, it wasn't worth it. My sister got a different pasta & her boyfriend got the chicken Parmesan & they also said their food was alright. The pork chops were good & my two family members liked their halibut.

Server was very nice and explained the wines and drinks to us as well as anyone could have. Lots of attentive staff for water and check ins. The food, however, took over 30 minutes to come out and the lobster (we did the surf & turf special) was basically impossible to eat. I had to pry it out of the tail shell, and it was VERY rubbery. The steak was medium well when we ordered medium rare, but it had a relatively okay crust and seasoning. We also ordered the spaghetti and meatballs which was actually pretty decent. Definitely fresh made pasta. Meatballs well cooked and well seasoned. Ambiance was nice. It was quiet enough where we could have easy conversations across the table.

My husband and I dined here for our anniversary. There is valet parking available, but also plenty of regular parking. The restaurant is beautiful and well kept. Our server was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure our 1st visit here was special. A manager stopped by during our meal to also ensure that we were all taken care of. Everything was so delicious! From the appetizer to the main meal and the drinks! Highly recommend for a special date night!

Another amazing night at spaghettini. It was my parents 55th wedding anniversary. We went to see Rebecca Jade do a Sade tribute. From the seamless valet parking to the reserved seating spaghettini is always a class act. We had an amazing server named Brandon Simpson. He was on top of service and had a great personality. Our entire service was impeccable. Even the busboy was top notch. Their bread is so fresh and soft! The act was pretty good. Such a lovely night out.

Atmosphere was grown and sexy. There is a cover charge to sit near the stage. The entertainment that night was R&B. The service and food was outstanding. The parking lot gets full. ( it's safe and secure)

Took friends there for their first time and unfortunately it was a mistake. Several people ordered the sea bass that they are known for and 2 of the dishes were raw and they claimed that's the way it's done. The other dish wasn't made well either. They took our plates back and came back several minutes later to say No it's not raw. While the server agreed it does look raw and not appealing, she declined to comment when the manager came over. Anyways, Overall terrible experience and with bad food - I recommend you really watch what you eat if you decide to go. On the bright side they do make really good Old Fashions.

I have come to Spaghettini about 10 times since my last review and I am happy to report they improved their appetizers and have continued to refine the entire experience. Hands down, from start to finish, this is one of the best Italian restaurants at this price point in Southern California.

Spaghettini is so amazing! Every time we come here we enjoy it so much, and recently our daughter's sports team held their end-of-year banquet in one of the private rooms. The staff were so accommodating and the food was as delicious as ever! Our servers Christine and Vanessa did a fabulous job, and all of the parents and athletes had a wonderful evening. We can't wait for the next event!

We walked in hoping to get a table and lucked out. Sunday brunch was amazing. It is a four course meal with a complimentary glass of champagne (or mimosa) and the options are all amazing! I was originally sad it feels more lunch oriented than breakfast, but honestly I couldn't be anything but happy and partially in a food coma after we were finished eating. We chose the Ahi Tartare and the a wedge salad and then the Filet Mignon with Eggs, and Caramelized Salmon with a side of Bacon. Boy, do they give you a lot of food and the side of Bacon was practically a meal on its own. The salmon, the steak, and the bacon were all Cooked to perfection. Our server was helpful and funny and very attentive while giving us our privacy. Valet parking $10, otherwise close parking is tight and across the street is plentiful. Friendly staff and lively but sophisticated atmosphere. Definitely recommend Spaghettini for a Date, business meal, celebration, or just a nice time to treat yourself l. Don't hesitate to check it out and make reservations or take your chances to walk in!

July 2024 | Seal Beach: Spaghetinni is pure class, and the food is delicious! The location is divine, and the customer service is top-of-the-line and super friendly! Did I mention the incredible live entertainment?! Horseradish Crusted Wild Halibut ($58): Absolutely delicious, flavorful & had me craving the next bite! Small in size, but mighty, as well as memorable, alongside each tasty bite of the veggies... all seasoned to perfection! Loved it! I would absolutely order this dish again! Carmalized Salmon ($49): This dish was my other option, but the halibut was perfect for me! The salmon was tasty, as well as tender! I took a bite of my friend's dish! Watermelon Mint Mocktail (2; $18): Refreshing & super tasty! I would order this drink again! Live Entertainment ($35 each): Festive, talented and top-of-the-line! Recording artist, Rebecca Jade is phenomenal, love her energy, and her voice is everything! I truly enjoyed her energetic performance! Her vibe with the talented band, as well as the singer/saxophone was absolutely incredible! The entire performance had the crowd dancing in our seats, singing, and just feeling her vibe! Rebecca Jade is an incredible talent! Customer Service: Friendly from the moment we walked in! Our server Angelina was the absolute best! I am grateful that she helped me select an item that I absolutely loved; the halibut dish! She checked on us often! Angelina was just overall awesome and made the experience so welcoming!! Atmosphere: Low-lit lighting, candles, white cloth tables... dreamy atmosphere, and a bit of a romantic setting! Also, I noticed large groups of people dining together,, girls night out for some, couples, as well as friends grabbing a bite to eat! Grateful that my wonderful friend introduced me to this place, as it was a fun and lively experience! Overall: Yes, please! I would return in a heartbeat as it's all-around, top-of-the-line experience in all areas! What an experience! I would also recommend reservations, as it's a very popular place!

Food - chopped Italian salad, capellini pomodoro was excellent! Dessert was a lemon cheesecake! It was wonderful-the atmosphere, decor and booth seating, service and bread with butter to start!

Loved everything about this place. $55 for a concert ticket, plus the food and drinks in this elegant supper club, was a very well received birthday present for my wife. Good sight lines and sound and superior service throughout. Sipping a martini while listening to jazz in a supper club line this is a true treat. The drinks were good, as was the aji tower with toast points. Perfect for a couple or a couple of couples.

Late post..we came here last week for a lunch and omgoodness this place is worth it!! It's worth the hype..the food are amazing! The steak is so soft and perfectly cooked. The halibut is tender and flavorful. The service is amazing. They always checked up on us. The drinks are getting refilled and I love how they space out the serving of their food. They give you time to digest your appetizers before serving the main dish. The creme brulee is chef kiss! We had an amazing dining experience at Spaghettini.

We came for dinner and the show. Our seats up front were $69 each . Food and drinks cost extra. The group Eagles and Linda Rondstad Experience entertained while I ate chicken parmigiana. The restaurant was full of fans. I would have enjoyed the band a lot more if they played more Eagles hits. Their music is so much better than Linda's.

My wife and I had not been here in 15 years. Finally decided to go back for a jazz show on our anniversary. We sat at the bar, our favorite spot. I had dinner and drinks before the show started. I highly recommend the wedge salad and the crab cakes. Service here is outstanding. The venue is small so every seat is great for a show. Paul Taylor was amazing as he always is. Looking forward to returning.

This is a fun place to eat and listen to great music ! We were celebrating our friend's birthday and we all loved our food! The only thing is that the tables are kind of close together, but other than that, I have no complaints. They also have a rewards club.

I was invited here for a work holiday dinner and I have t say this place was delicious! The portion sizes are great! The steak I had was so good and the cook was perfect. We also had the lobster tower or seafood tower and other small appetizers. Then dessert came and I ordered the Crème brûlée and wow that has to be one of the best that I've had in a while. Loved the service we all received. Our waiter was having to help other tables along with our huge party and he was still very tentative. The room that we were sag in was nice and quiet and couldn't hear anything from the main restaurant area. We loved it and hope we can come back soon.

Had a very nice dinner with coworkers on a Tuesday night. Their phone reservation system is a little bit wonky, so when we arrived, they didn't have a record of the reservation I had made, but after showing them the text confirmation I received it turns out the automated phone reservation. System had completely butchered my name. We had prompt And efficient service. Although one hiccup we had, our server forgot to put our appetizer order in so our entrées arrived before we received our appetizer, which we canceled without an issue. My coworkers each had the fillet and the corn risotto and said it was fabulous. I enjoyed the Seabass specialand shared the corn risotto as well. Will definitely return.

Came here one night for a medical presentation and I have to say, I was pretty impressed with the staff and food here. Parking: Private parking lot during the day and valet at night. You can either park on the street or across the street to avoid valet. Food: Menu choices were a pre-chosen set so not all of the menu I've come to realize may not be available on the regular menu. Bruschetta was okay for an appetizer, but nothing special here. Chicken bow tie pasta was very good and I'd get this again if it was availabe on the regular menu. Chicken wasn't dry for once,however, this was supposed to come with artichoke heart which I never found. Odd. Mini pot de creme was devine to eat. A small amount which was a good thing as it was very rich tasting. Summary: This place is very classy and the prices show it, but you get good quality. Food was very good. Service was quick, personable and attentative. I have no complaints in this department at all. I'm not sure what their specialty is here, but I'd give them a whirl again. Happy eating!!

Spaghettini gave what it needed to give -- and then some. Dar wasn't just a server -- he was an energy reader. When he spoke, it was with intention. He knew the menu like it was a love language. Every suggestion hit. And when he wasn't speaking, he was reading the room -- observant, patient, fully present. That balance? Rare and refreshing. The Old Fashioned? Smooth, strong, and layered -- just like the way Dar described the whiskey they use. It was crafted, not just poured. The oysters? Baby. They were cold, fresh, and delicate. Clean, briny, and soft in all the right places -- if you're into eating a little pussy from time to time, you already know what I mean. The Chilean sea bass? Buttery, flaky, and wrapped in that perfect parmesan crust -- melted on my tongue and felt like a love note. My friend had the New Zealand lamb rack -- tender, soulful, with a deep red wine reduction that made it feel like a grown man cooked it with his whole heart. And the live band? The energy was unmatched. They brought a beautiful rhythm to the whole space -- the vibe flowed so well that you could choose to be front and center, soaking up the spotlight, or cozy up in a more intimate corner and still catch every note. We went the intimate route but didn't miss a beat of their artistry. This wasn't just a meal. It was a moment. Dar made sure we didn't just eat -- we felt cared for. 10/10. I'm coming back, and I hope he's there.

Danielle was an excellent waitress, very attentive, full of energy, and knowledgeable about the menu. She even helped me get my favorite drink, the Caribbean old fashioned! Walking in is like being transported into Italy and you just gotta love being here. It doesn't matter what you choose you are going to love it. I was deciding between two wildly different choices, pizza or seabass. I went with Danielle's suggestion of seabass and it was perfect!

We had a party of 10 and ended up with a hefty bill, which felt forced thanks to that nonrefundable reservation fee. What truly stung was getting mediocre food while paying steakhouse prices. At least the service was good.
