What Naima Paulsen likes about La Spaghettata:
Visited here with two families. Warm, homely feel as soon as we entered. The waiter was a seasoned pro who made everyone feel welcome and interacted well with the kids. The food was delicious and the service went the 'extra mile'. Happy to recommend and will definitely be back. View all feedback. What Joana Zemlak doesn't like about La Spaghettata:
Fast but perfunctory service. Eating was okay, but would not rave over it, but the portions were too small. Given the cost of ingredients for pasta there is little excuse to be so miserable. I remember the days when Franco opened this restaurant in the 80s and made her own pasta on site, they offered free second aid if you were still hungry! They were the days. View all feedback.

La Spaghettata is a charming Italian restaurant on Lygon Street that offers a wide variety of pasta dishes as well as Italian, modern, and Australian mains. While some reviewers found the pasta lacking in flavor and portion size, others praised the fresh and cheesy caprese salad. The venue itself has a heavy Italian-themed decor and prompt service. The staff is polite and the food overall received positive feedback. However, there were some complaints about seating and service issues. Despite mixed reviews, many diners appreciate the authentic Italian taste and atmosphere of La Spaghettata and have been loyal customers for years. Fabio, the owner, is highlighted as a fantastic host who makes every dining experience memorable. Overall, La Spaghettata is highly recommended for those seeking a genuine Italian dining experience in Melbourne.
