Spagnoletti Reviews Summary

Location and Ambiance

Pros:

• "Nice restaurant close vicinity to Kings Cross and Euston Station."
• "The atmosphere/decor is second to none, and is definitely what makes Spagnoletti a fantastic, intimate spot."
• "Enjoyed the interior and weird toilets."
• "Nestled along the bustling Euston Road in London, Spagnoletti Restaurant promises to transport diners to the heart of Italy through its authentic cuisine."
• "The place itself has a nice interior design and overall atmosphere."

Cons:

• "The venue itself seems to have a nice upstairs seating area and is quite casual and cafe like downstairs with a reasonably relaxed vibe."
• "Funky place, loud music, food nice but not great - a bit style over substance."
• "Staff member who 'seated' us looked and sounded uninterested, and pointed vaguely at some seats for us to go sit at."
• "Very minimal, modern cafe. Beautiful decor. Staff could not have been more helpful."

Service

Pros:

• "The staff were also lovely, we were served by Sabrina who was very friendly and attentive."
• "Had a lovely time at Spagnoletti, Abdi was a great waiter and made sure the service was perfect."
• "We were attended by Ella and she’s cool and attentive. She’s a gem!"
• "Thank you for squeezing us in! Sabrina and her colleagues took excellent care of us. Everybody was very friendly and attentive."
• "All of our service, especially from Lenfa, was exceptional."

Cons:

• "The attitude of the waitress was not good either. Strongly not recommended!"
• "Maybe I was here on an off day, some staff are very friendly and some seemed like they couldn’t wait to get off shift."
• "Genuinely the worst service I’ve ever encountered."
• "Waiters were totally inexperienced asking us what a lime soda was (?), brought over a carafe of wine but no glasses, poured table water on top of previously poured sparkling water."
• "Staff member who 'seated' us looked and sounded uninterested, and pointed vaguely at some seats for us to go sit at."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Fresh focaccia bread, Olives and the Ravioli and pasta was really tasty."
• "The starters were just enough to share between 3 people. The pasta was perfectly cooked."
• "We had a starter, main, and dessert, and there wasn’t a single complaint about the food it was hot and perfectly cooked."
• "Enjoy three delicious courses and two glasses of wine for just £25."
• "Some of the most amazing pasta we have ever ate! Beautiful burrata to start also, the beetroot sorbet was incredible!"

Cons:

• "Had lunch here, and ordered the beef pasta (Mafalde), which seemed quite standard to me (3.5 out of 5)."
• "I had the seafood taglioni for dinner. The seafood was not fresh and the pasta was tasteless."
• "Went to have dinner with my friends on Sunday, the starters were honestly overpriced and very basic not a lot of flavour."
• "Nice staff, average food. We walked it at random, were greeted and seated quickly and our food was served in good time. No regrets but nothing special."
• "The pasta was chewy and bland. No one at my table liked the food and I couldn't believe any of the chefs would say it was meant to come to the table that way."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Really decent prices for London."
• "Had amazing food and two drinks for £25 on voucher via Time Out London. Incredible value for money."
• "The food is delicious and for its high quality reasonably priced."
• "Great place to eat in Kings Cross; so close to the stations so easy to get there and back."
• "Absolutely beautiful decor food was prepared to my specifications and was all fresh ingredients used great value for money very filling."

Cons:

• "Went to have dinner with my friends on Sunday, the starters were honestly overpriced and very basic not a lot of flavour."
• "The pasta I had was delicious, though quite expensive for how much I actually got. £14 for about 8-9 Agnolotti pieces was pretty expensive."
• "Reasonable food, on the pricey side for the miniscule portion sizes."
• "Pasta was so bad it tasted like aeroplane food, I could not finish the food. The service was very slow."
• "Terrible. I ordered Tortelli a main course and literally got 5 pieces of pasta and when I complained they said other meals are bigger and only that one is small."
