The gnocchi dishes we ordered were delicious and the dessert was superb. The service was very good and we love the ambience and the authentic Italian food and feel of this restaurant. It is one of our favourite restaurants in Lygon Street.

I have been to this restaurant many times over the past few years, and and have had issues the last two times . poor show this time embarrassing for me whilst entertaining customers warm food at best long wait times where some customers in my group were finished before others even got their meal not happy and will have to think twice before I take customers again . Not good for my business not good for yours!

We had a booking of 8 people, overall very good, but disappointed with pomei prawns size. Entre portion had 5 prawns and main portion had 7 prawns - should have ordered 2 entre portions. Home made tiramisu was delicious but chocolate mousse was grainey. Toilets too difficult for our elder guests to get to - up 2 flights of stairs.

Lovely restaurant with delicous Italian food with great variety. Seating slightly uncomfortable but could be improved with cushions. Only criticism is asked waitress as to what dishes were gluten free and was unsure so went to ask Kitchen staff. Waitress returned and stated all desserts were. As our daughter is Coeliac we asked one of the Managers who said only two were as this did seem unusual. Had we not enquired this would have been detrimental to her well being. If staff are unsure as to the request the should clarify it with the customer or manager So we were quite taken aback when we were asked if we would like to tip the waitress when finalising the bill. However, would definiitely return as overall good service and nice food at reasonable prices

Excellent quality in the food with such a wide menu. The waiter was very good too. He was very careful to ensure the order was 100% right and showed a lot of pride in his job.

Had the ravioli with ricotta and spinach, turned out it had none or very little spinach. Most of it was pasta actually. Bruschetta starter was drained in olive oil, neutralizing other flavours. Spaghetti with meatballs; pasta was fresh but meatballs were very dry. Would recommend for group dinner for stag party because of atmosphere but definitely not for family/couple dinner. Service was excellent tho' and Tony (founder) is really committed to his business and is constantly looking to make things better for his customers.

Service is always great at La Spaghettata, and we really enjoy the atmosphere. Unfortunately this time my pasta had cheese in it (requested without) and my partner (after we had paid) told me that the scamp in her pasta tasted a bit cold/old. Lesson learnt: double check your dishes as soon as they come to the table!

We had dinner at La Spaghettata for my sons 16th birthday. The staff must have overheard us talking about it as they bought out a profiterole with a sparkler in it so we could sing him happy birthday. This at the end of a beautiful dinner with such friendly staff really made his (and our) night. We have been going to La Spaghettata since before the kids were born and the service and the food has always been of the highest standard. This is one of our favourite Melbourne restaurants and has been for more than 20 years.

Overcooked seafood in spag marinara, Lacking in sauce and garlic bread worst I've ever had. When I asked to see Manager to express my concern he was rude and could not of cared less. I was not asking for money back or replacement but thought he would want some feedback. Will not be going back

This restaurant was just ok. The pasta was a bit too oily and sightly over cooked. But the environment is very nice, cool music and clean.
