My husband and I went for the first time tonight. I had the Papas perfect pasta and my husband had the gnocchi. Both exceeded expectations. We also enjoyed a few Moscow mules which were just as impressive and listened to some karaoke which was a lot of fun. Overall I would highly recommend for a fun delicious night out!

She had the Paps’s perfect pomodora and I had the bell tower burger. We also had an appetizer cheese curds let me say if I could have given more stars this place would definitely deserve it. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. You can tell they take pride in their food. While we both were full, there’s always room for dessert. We had the Panna Cotta mocha. This definitely did not disappoint and was amazing. We met the owner and is a very nice gentleman. To anyone reading this , you definitely need to check it out. Spinellas on 436 N main ave in Gresham Oregon. Also for the people in the reviews that said food took too long to arrive at the table. I say didn’t your parents teach you patience. Remember this, delicious and amazing food takes time and you never rush it. My wife and I will definitely be back and have found an amazing hidden gem. Keep doing what your doing and thank you for a wonderful meal and experience. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

But we suggest getting an appetizer if you are starving, and making reservations if you aredining with more than 4 people. The food was mouth-watering and the drinks were good and strong! I had the artichoke heart,mushroom, garlic pasta and it was splendid! Made to order and an instant favorite of mine! We'll definitely be coming back totry the other dishes very soon!

The wait staff and bartender were friendly andattentive and got us started with menus and drinks as soon as we picked out a table. Speaking of the menu, not only was it fullof great food options, but it was a hoot to read with offerings like Oh My Cod, Sweet Cheesus, and Invoke the Artichoke. I hadthe Alaska cod and was pleasantly surprised by the unique flavors in the beer batter coating and house-made tartar sauce.

I looked at their menu online and was set to get the Papas Perfect, and let me tell you it was perfect my husband got Let’s Hash it Out and he loved that as well. The side salad is a good portion and I liked the mix of greens instead of just lettuce. The ranch was really good. It was Wednesday Karaoke night which we didn’t realize but a pleasant surprise. It’s fun watching people sing. Staff was very attentive, friendly, even with a smaller crowd and came to get our empty plates quickly. We got a raspberry white chocolate panna cotta for dessert.. I’ve never tried something like this before, we gobbled it up. Can’t wait to visit again!!

Updating as I certainly wrote for the wrong place the first time. This location is in a church and has a lot of potential but might be better in the summertime. We came on a karaoke night and it seemed to be the same 5/6 locals singing and not all that well. Probably wouldn’t come back on a karaoke night. Art work was interesting to say the least. Menu was so big and generally confusing to read. Food was good, loved the loaded tots. But the servers seemed a little overwhelmed and kept forgetting parts of our order, like water. Saw the outside patio as we left and am certainly that is great in the summer. Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

The staff are super fun and granted, I have been going there since they opened, they've always remembered me and my kiddos from day one. The food.... Y'all... It is the best everrrrr. I'm a pasta weirdo and their made to order pasta is top notch. Their menu is extensive as well. I love the creative way they name their menu items and drinks. My kids who have always been almost as picky as I am about food, love spinellas too and have always ate every last bite of their meals there which is a big deal in our house (they usually eat like birds, just a bite here or there throughout the day, rarely ever sit and finish a meal) spinellas has always been welcoming to my family. Even though we've moved 200+ miles away we still carve out time to eat at spinellas whenever we're in the area. Kid-friendliness: Family friendly until 9pm, then it's party time.

During this time, I was experiencing extreme food aversions. I basically struggled to eat anything that wasnt fruit or beef jerky. But I wanted a burger so bad. So we went. My pregnancy brain was so picky, so I asked the waiter to customize my burger so the nines. It was definitely not a burger on the menu, but the waiter was so unbelievably patient with me when I placed my order, and cracked a few jokes to ease my nerves for being so particular. Food came out, and the chef had explained how he made it and how much he hoped I would enjoy it. Unfortunately my twins only allowed me to eat so much before the nausea kicked in, so I was unable to finish my meal. A waitress this time came up to me and asked me if my food was okay. I explained that it was absolutely delicious, but my twins were not having it at the moment. She was so sweet and genuine, and came back with a $10 gift card. She even left a little note on it to come back after I gave birth so I could enjoy their drinks. We came back some time later, with our twins in tow. And have been multiple times since. They are amazing and we love the food, the employees, the drinks, everything. I recommend this place to everyone I know!

While I enjoy the burgers at this establishment, the atmosphere is not very welcoming. The sign that says "Don't touch the curtains" is confusing - I wasn't planning on touching them until I saw the sign, but I refrained. Perhaps they should consider installing blinds instead. The $15 cheeseburger, which comes with an extra charge for fries, is decent but the ketchup is disappointing. It has a strange taste, possibly from a spice like nutmeg, and it's not the good quality. It doesn't have to be a premium brand like Portland Ketchup, but at least upgrade to Heinz. The music in the dining area was overshadowed by the loud kitchen music, which made the dining experience less enjoyable. Overall, despite the great burger, I couldn't wait to leave the restaurant.

The waitress kindly checked for cancellations or no-shows before we left, allowing us to have a great experience. The menu names are impressive and everything we tried was delicious. Both the Cheesus sandwich and shrimp castello were outstanding. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes, making sure to reserve a table in advance.

The drinks are equally delightful, and it's a unique experience to enjoy them within a church setting. Be sure to get your tickets early for their live music nights, as they often sell out fast. The menu is thoughtfully crafted, and there is also patio seating available.

Besides the menu being entertaining, the flavor combinations are so unique and work well together. The portions are perfect. Their stout was smooth. A very relaxed atmosphere and great service. They make their sauces in-house making it totally worth the wait which wasn?t really any different than what you?d wait elsewhere. We will definitely be back. So many other items I can?t wait to try. ?
