Was T at Spinella's a mag?

A very nice place! I love the unique name on the menu and lots of choices! I got the 'I don 't smoke but my salmon does ' and my friend order 'shrimply Irresistible '! Both pasta dishes werevery good and tasty!! Great service too!! View all feedback.

What Kyle Bistline dislikes about Spinella's:

EDIT: Visit two wasnt as good, I'm not sure if something changed but the food was bland, both of the dishes that were ordered. Chicken Parm was underwhelming and the Mac and cheese didn't have any flavor. It was a bit sad. Family and I ate here and we loved it. Chill atmosphere, good food and decent prices.

Walked in half hour before closing and we weren't made to feel uncomfortable or rushed and everything was great. Huge selection of carefully crafted meals, snacks and drinks. Will drive out from Vancouver just to eat here. Looks like they do karaoke and live music 5 days a week. Hope they stick around.

The fun begins when you enter the front doors of this converted church and begin to take all the visual details, from the classic old bar to the 'mal night' arts proudly shown on the walls. The waiting staff and bartender were friendly and attentive and started with menus and drinks as soon as we selected a table. Speaking of menu, not only was it full of great food options, but it was a Hoot to read with offers like Oh My Cod, Sweet Cheesus and Invoke the Artichoke. I had the Alaska Cod and was pleasantly surprised by the unique aromas in the beerbatter coating and homemade tartaric acid.

The dining experience was absolutely amazing! The drinks were also great, especially the chocolate espresso martini which was incredible. I would highly recommend this restaurant, a perfect 10 out of 10!

My husband and I tried Spinella's tonight because Grubhub started offering their food. We had never dined there before. Oh my goodness, our experience with Grubhub was incredible! The delivery was so fast and the food was amazing. It was delicious and arrived hot. We ordered steamed mussels, coconut juice, and mac and cheese. It was fantastic! The delivery person told me they were running low on mussels when I placed the order. We live in Southwest Gresham and usually order food from various local restaurants in the area. Thank you Spinella's and Grubhub for providing such a great meal. We will definitely be back! ~Heide

On our way home from a 3-night camping trip in Mt. Hood, we stopped at a restaurant. I ordered the pulled pork torta and it was delicious. My husband got a burger with homemade marinated brown sugar and bourbon pickles, which was also fantastic. The restaurant had a cool vibe, resembling an old church with lots of artwork on the walls. The owner was very friendly. We would definitely come back to see if they have live music.

We had an amazing experience! It took us about 10 mins to get a table and about 30 minutes for food after we ordered, but the wait was totally worth the food! But we suggest getting an appetizer if you are starving, and making reservations if you are dining 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 to try the other dishes very soon!

Everytime I've gone, it's been a fantastic experience. Even when things when slightly awry they were super nice and got things fixed super quick. I always leave happy and with good memories from here. Dietary restrictions: If you have an allergy, they are really good at being as accommodating as possible.

Spinellas is my all time favorite restaurant. 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.

One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Glad there are nights without music. Michael was interesting to talk to.

At the moment, this restaurant is only accepting reservations. They offer outdoor seating with live music. 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.

Great food. Genuine staff. Second time there, and again had the papa’s pasta. Creamy and comforting. I’ll pass on karaoke on Friday nights…too loud for my liking.

Spinella's offers excellent food made with fresh, homemade ingredients. 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.

Outstanding service, delicious food and drinks, and a great atmosphere. We attended a live band performance, the seating was comfortable, and most of the venue had a clear view of the stage. I absolutely loved it!

We 've been twice so far, and it is flippin ' fantastic! Can 't say enough good things about the creative and fun menu, the flavor and quality of the food, and how awesome the staff is. They have wonderful pasta dishes, great burgers, and some mac 'n cheesethat is ridiculously tasty. It 's in an old church, and there 's a lot of great artwork and kitchy stuff on the walls, lovelyatmosphere. It 's a great way to spend a couple of hours and enjoy some (really good! beer and a tremendous meal.

Late post! We went out to dinner a couple of months ago. The food was absolutely delicious and you receive large portions. I love the play on words menu. I can’t wait to come back to listen to the live music.

Best atmosphere, cocktails, food, and people in Gresham! I love coming here. I feel like I'm home away from home. I have tried so many different items on the HUGE menu and I have never been disappointed. They also have a massive cocktails list which areso delicious! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! We love you, Spinellas!

The restaurant owners, managers, and staff should consider putting themselves in the shoes of their customers. 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.

Spinella's should expand its main menu to include more vegan options and also provide vegan-friendly beer choices.
