Spaghetti Kettle

Reviews & Tips

  This is our absolute favorite little neighborhood restaurant.  Let me warn you, on a Fri. or Sat. night the waiting line may be out the door.  Why? It's a cosy, warm and friendly, casual, reasonably priced and serves delicious food.  Italian is the speciality, the sauce is delicious and portions are ample.  Their chicken riggies, can compete with in any this area and they offer your choice mild, medium and hot sauce. On Friday there are fish specials and my favorite is the Haddock Marinara, a large fillet of light and flaky fish nicely topped with plenty of sauce and cheese.  Pasta would be the logical choice of side dish but I love the garlic mashed potatoes with just a lump or two so you know they are real.
    The fried seafood is done well, meat is perfectly cooked, pasta al dente, salad crisp and fresh, if a bit unimaginative, and with dressing always served on the side.  Some other niceties: bread arrives at the table warm with butter melted on the top, water is served in a sparkling glass with a slice of lemon and, best of all, the bartender pours a generous glass of wine.
    Maybe it isn't "fine dining" but the Spaghetti Kettle offers way more than just pizza and pasta. We always eat well and usually take left overs home for lunch.

  30 minutes to get drinks at the table and over 90 minutes to get food.  Even better, after I specifically asked for the check, the pathetic waitress gave it to my father.  I will NEVER walk through the door to this place again.

  My boyfriend and I were in the mood for Italian last week. We decided on the Spaghetti Kettle. We had once gone there on a busy holiday and the service was less than good, and the food was only ok. But maybe it was because they were swamped, we should give it another chance.
  
  We went on a regular Wednesday. This restaurant has twelve or so tables, and a bar with maybe ten stools. So, a small place you could say. We waited at the door and after five minutes one of the waitresses brought us to a table. No problem, maybe they're busy with something. What we had forgotten in the six months since we had gone, is that this place is too expensive for what you get. I'm not saying that I'm not willing to spend $11 dollars for my dinner, but I want more than noodles with oil on them. I like fettucini alfredo, but not for 17 bucks. I'm a girl on a budget. We waited for at least 15 minutes without even being asked what we'd like to drink. The waitresses walked past us many times, and we attempted to catch their attention, to no avail. After 20 minutes of waiting for a glass of water we gave up. We went to Cavallo's instead, and had a tasty meal for less money.
