The staff here are so welcoming and make you feel like family. This is like a slice of Italy and a home style restaurant that makes for a perfect place for a dinner date. The share platter was absolutely amazing and great to share. Couldn’t recommend more.
beautiful restaurant and feels very authentic and homey- however the food was a great disappointment. i got the gnocchi mushroom and cream pasta and there was ZERO flavour, undercooked mushrooms and over cooked gnocchi. not even pepper in the dish or a hint of garlic or anything at all. felt like they poured a bottle of cream onto the plate and sent it off. really disappointed as we were excited to come and the staff were very welcoming.
Among two neighboring Italian restaurants, La Spaghettata stood out as the recommended choice.
I opted for their fettuccine carbonara, delighting in its rich creaminess and robust cheesy flavor. The service was efficient and attentive, complementing the pleasant atmosphere.
Despite its unassuming exterior, the restaurant boasts ample seating, including tables on upper floors, enhancing its spaciousness.

Very busy place! We did enjoy our experience at La Spaghettata. The service was great with my daughter, who was sung to for her birthday, was a lovely touch. I didn't feel my meal met expectations. It had more pippies than any other seafood, so I was slightly disappointed. The flavour was ok, but for someone who loves Italian food, I did expect more. Altogether a good though.
I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at this place. The moment we were seated, it became apparent that the staff were disorganized and uninterested in providing good service.
We ordered in 5 mins -
- BRUSCHETTA SICILIANA
- GARLIC PRAWNS
- Chicken pasta
- Veg pasta
- 2 cokes
After 20 mins, our drinks (just coke) arrived, After 40 mins, first entree made its appearance. When we inquired about the second entree, we were met with the astounding revelation that it had been completely forgotten. To add insult to injury, patrons who arrived after us were served their meals before us.
After 50 mins of wait with no food at our table, with frustration and fed up with the appalling service, we decided to cut our losses and leave. However, instead of understanding our dissatisfaction, a waiter had the audacity to lecture us about how busy they were and suggested we should have been more patient.
To add insult to injury, as we were preparing to settle the bill for drinks and one entree of our order, another waiter informed us that our complete order was miraculously ready. Despite their attempts to rectify the situation with complimentary offers and apologies, the damage had already been done.
I understand sometimes things can go wrong but staff behaviour is key to any restaurant. But we have noticed rude and indifferent staff, horrendous mismanagement, and an utter disregard for customer satisfaction. Needless to say, I will never be returning to this place and would strongly advise others to steer clear as well.

What an absolutely fantastic dining experience we had last night! Luciano was wonderful as our host! The food was divine, lemoncillo is my new favourite after trying for the first time! Brilliant Italian hospitality! Will definitely be returning! My first time visiting Melbourne didn't disapoint!
Do not walk past this Italian Restaurant if you want to enjoy the best gnocchi that are reminiscent of sitting in a restaurant in Monterosso Cinque Terra Italy which we experienced recently. Couldn't decide on gnocchi basil pesto or napoli, so my husband and I shared. This restaurant is filled with pics of celebs who have eaten here, the decor is gorgeous down to the briscola pictured tables. Menu is extensive and exciting. I had to go inside and tell the owner Fabio how much I enjoyed my lunch. Plus, they even sell house wine in carafs, just like throughout Italy. What a fabulous experience dining here on my last day in Melbourne.
