Amazing service. I wish I could remember the names of the servers I interacted with to give them the credit they deserve. The 2 ladies that served out private dinner party on December 19th were very knowledgeable and charismatic—something rare nowadays. The food was very good as well. I had the short rib dish. It was a touch on the dry side but I tasted a friends who had the same dish and theirs was much more moist. No big deal. Cocktails were delicious too. The restaurant itself was beautiful but the live band (which was fantastic) bled too much into our private room where speeches were given. If we were in the live venue room, it would have been fantastic sound but because we were expecting a quieter area and often distracted by the muffled live band and audience, it was not what we expected. It's not the restaurant or services fault at all, just a truth about proximity and acoustics. Love spaghettini and will be back for a special night.

I stopped into Spaghettini on a random Wednesday afternoon and was completely blown away. I sat in the bar area near the musical stage, which had a great vibe, and the bartender who served me was top-notch friendly, attentive, and on the ball the entire time. Truly one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time. The food? Absolutely fantastic. I had the spaghetti and meatballs, and it was hands-down one of the best versions of the dish I’ve ever had. Huge portion too I eat a lot, and I could barely finish it. The pasta was served piping hot, perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of sauce, and finished with fresh-shaved parmesan right at the table. I also ordered the garden salad, which was super fresh and flavorful, topped with cracked pepper and cheese. Every bite was excellent. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, the service was friendly and welcoming across the board. The place was buzzing even at lunchtime, which says a lot. It’s clear this restaurant has earned its reputation and it absolutely lives up to it. Highly recommend. I can’t wait to go back and try more off the menu!

Exquisite is the best word to describe Spaghettinis. The decor, service, food, and vibe were all the best I've experienced in all of California. Lots of regulars, much like Musso & Franks with a 1960s cocktail lounge feel. I saw Jessy J perform and enjoyed the Chilean Sea Bass. FYI .. Be prepared to spend as the prices are steep.

Our first time here! We came for dinner and to catch the Linda Ronstadt Tribute Show. The restaurant was awesome! Service and food were outstanding! Great selection of Italian food. Very clean and great atmosphere. It was a perfect cozy venue for the show.

Our family planned a birthday party celebration for my brother-in-law he really likes the group Jesse J. The music was good and so was the food.

What a way to enjoy food and music! Excellent Customer Service and the band was awesome, the food was very good. I had the cheese hamburger and fries. It was huge and delicious... Awesome place to go on a date or with friends.

We’ve been here several times for dinner and a show. First time for Sunday Brunch and it did not disappoint. Tables are a bit closer together during brunch but it’s all in good fun and in the overall experience.
