I went here for a family gathering and what a surprising little treasure! Tucked away in a strip mall, you wouldn't expect such a gem. Unfortunately no photos taken but the meal was superb. I started with the Cesar salad and basket of bread options with a delicious Parmesan vegetable tapinade. Dinner choice was their delicious petto di pollo fiorentino, cooked to tender perfection. Their wine margarita was a tasty and light accompaniment with the meal. I didn't partake in dessert but the waiter brought a sample platter to show what they had to offer. Next time I'll plan for dessert! The staff was very friendly and knowledgable of the menu. The restaurant was elegant, classic modern and clean. The restrooms were clean and offered lotion & mouthwash. read more

As for the food the variety is ok and the taste is normal as per the 4 main courses we have chose. The shock was in the Bill section, regardless the items are already overpriced compared to portion size, I had this voucher from "restaurant.com" for 25$ discount when minimum order of 50$. The bill was 145 and when the voucher was used the total came up to 146!! Yes ... they do add the taxes and service charge for those who use vouchers to end up paying even more depend on your bill, and when you tell them that this is unethical and cheating they say "that's the system and the conditions of the coupon" while nothing in the coupon states so. Would never recommend this restaurant to anyone, on the opposite will do my best to let people avoid them. read more

A week ago, I was here at the restaurant with a bunch of girlfriends to have a Christmas luncheon. Before the lunch I noticed I had a pipe problem at my house. I came to the lunch at any rate but all stressed. After I ordered my food, I decided that after all I should go home to take care of my pipe problem. When I came to the owner (or a manager) to pay for my dish and asked her to pack my food to go, I explained to her why I have to run. After a few days I noticed something extraordinary: the lady didn't charge me at all for my dish! I guess she took pity on me! I was really touched by this gesture of kindness and thoughtfulness. So I am giving her the five stars for her service and genuine kindness!! I guess an establishment like this is not only interested in making profit but more want to be a part of the life of communities it serves. Thank you! read more

Do not be fooled by these glowing posts. Having just been here myself, I'm totally confused by them. Our appetizer wasn't terrible--a pasta wrapped meat and cheese thing with a sauce. The sauce was just OKAY, and lacked much flavor. The pasta wrap was undercooked. We each had a salad. My wife had the house salad, which was serviceable but nothing special. I had the heirloom tomato and organic beet salad. The tomatoes were hardly heirloom (fairly certain they were your garden variety beefsteak tomatoes) and were under ripe and sliced way too thick. The beets were also sliced too thick, and would have overwhelmed everything if it weren't for the goat cheese that made it impossible to taste anything else. We ordered the beef wellington for our entree. Not only was it "not good," it was terrible. I couldn't get the taste of old crab out of my mouth for hours, the beef was tough and certainly not prime quality and the pastry was undercooked...and they ask roughly $39.00 for this. What a joke. We sent it back. Our consolation prize was a "Bolognese" pasta and, like most restaurants, this was not Bolognese at all (which is supposed to be a meat gravy with very little tomato at all). It was your basic spaghetti with meat sauce, and the sauce was nothing to write home about (I don't like sweet red sauce). And the "ambiance" is hilarious. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and they've tried to make the inside look like a nice restaurant, but the whole place just feels faux. The icing is the beautiful view of Del Taco out the window... read more

What an amazing dinner experience. If you're not looking for it, you might drive right past this wonderful little restaurant. The restaurant was pretty busy but we were seated right away. The service was amazing. The chef came out to greet diners throughout the meal and ask how they were enjoying their dinners. I was thrilled to find out that they do not use pate in their beef wellington, rather a porcini mushroom mixture. That's on the agenda for next time. On this occasion, I ordered the organic heirloom tomato and beet salad with mozzarella and goat cheese for my first course and shrimp in a champagne sauce as the main course. OMG, one of the best meals I've ever had. My bf had the Genovese (pot roast with pasta and veggies). It was tender and perfect, just really great comfort food. We split a creme brulee for dessert. It was exceptional. Don't miss this place. I'm so glad that it's so close! read more

My mother and I have been coming to Spaggi's for nearly over five years. In every instance, of our visits, the staff have shown to be extraordinarily knowledgeable, and exceedingly professional hitting every mark. Chef Henry his wife, have always been welcoming, kind, courteous - as expected from any high-end fine dining restaurant. The food at Spaggi's has always hit the mark, being perfectly cooked to perfection - especially when it came to their signature steaks like the signature aged rib-eye, or the New York Strip Delmonico perfectly paired with their Marsala sauce. Seasoned perfectly, seared, and cooked to perfection - every single one of my experiences have been stellar! Along with flawless performance by the staff, each and every meal, invites me and my mother back for another experience at Spaggi's. read more

I've eaten here a few times, and each time was an appetizing experience. It is a little upscale than the normal restaurants around Upland, or even around Foothill, so don't wear jeans or flip flops...maybe more like business casual. They have a decent sized variety of selections, from their Signature Dishes ($25-$39) to their Antipasto ($7-$14). They also have a large off the menu selection which they will tell you upon seating. They serve a bread spread (seems to be olive oil and sun dried tomatoes and possibly anchovies) to go with the either sliced French or Sourdough with olives. And also, don't forget to make room for the desert. I suggest either the Red Velvet with the cream cheese and walnut icing (which isn't too sweet) or the Chocolate Souffl which is heaven. Did I mention that the chef offers cooking classes every 5-6 weeks? Great place to eat, have small dinner parties, or even take to go. read more

I went to Spaggi's for a business lunch and was pretty impressed. We went on a Thursday at around 11:30 and were one of two parties. -Service/Staff: Prompt and friendly -Location: Probably one of the few nicer restaurants in the area & is situated in a strip mall with plenty of parking. -Atmosphere: The shop is pretty nice with upscale decor. There is both inside and outside seating. -Prices: On the higher side -Food: Delicious! We ordered appetizers, our main meals, and desert and all were great! There is even bread with a mouthwatering spread while you order and wait for your food. -Overall: The bill added up to a pretty penny but the food was very good and filling. Due to limited choices in the area and my overall experience, I'm sure I'll be back here. read more

Great service, good food, nice atmosphere. My family went here for a graduation dinner. All the food was enjoyed. While it was very good and I would absolutely go here again, it was not so incredible that it truly blew me away. read more

Great food, the chef is friendly and takes the time to walk around and introduce himself. Staff is friendly and the food is tasty, very well appointed decorations and very clean read more

COVID has taken many things away from us and it has been quite awhile since we have had amazing service and even better food. If you want to feel like the world is back on track I highly recommend you visit Spaggi's. The wait staff was attentive but the food was the shining star. Tonight, celebrating our 20th anniversary was a reminder of what was, what is and what the future holds. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. read more

We had a very tasty fathers day dinner here, I had a spaghettini dish that had this tomato sauce stuff on it. It was good, not uh-mazing though. But sure, it was pretty tasty. My fellow had salmon, it was totally yummo (should be for 26 bucks IMO) It was kinda cute, we didn't order appetizers so they gave us these tiny little precious soup samplers. Only weird thing, I don't think food should have sprigs stuck inside them, no matter what it is. My food shouldn't look like it's sprouting a pine tree. And it was like in everything. It was shooting out of the pasta, shooting out of the salmon... I'm surprised the creme brulee didn't have it poking out of it's crispy top. There were these really cool puffy flower balls all over the place, I liked them lots. There was also a lovely sign in the ladies bathroom, urging it's employees not to look ugly. I liked that too. read more

A hole in the wall restaurant definitely worth trying. The food is so delicious, very fresh, GREAT flavor, good portions. Both their dinner menu and drinking menu has such a vast variety of options. The waiters are so friendly and the ambiance of the restaurant gives it a warm feel. The shopping center in which it is located isn't the best, but the restaurant is a hidden gem. Will be sure to go again. read more

Went here for a "business" type lunch. The atmosphere is great, it looks very upscale in the old fashion kind of way. The service and food were top notch. Most surprisingly the food is very reasonably priced. I feel the $$$ is one $ too high. I often thought of this area as being a culinary dead zone but this restaurant was an exception. I had the Chinese chicken salad and it was very well done. I also had a lentil soup that was nice and rustic. The pasta looked great and I look forward to ordering that next time. read more

Though located in a low-end shopping center, this place is anything but. The dim lighting, dark walls, and decor give the restaurant a private feel. The service is great, I never once had an empty glass of water or soda. Food presentation is beautiful and it tastes even better! Don't think you won't be paying for it though, my boyfriend ordered from the specials and it was half the bill. To say the least, Spaggis is a diamond in the rough, I just wish it wasn't located in the rough. read more

Had my birthday dinner here with friends last nite....suggested wine was excellent, food was fabulous, service awesome. Waiter Cameron was attentive, had a great sense of humor and made our visit fantastic!!!! We enjoyed ourselves immensely! Thank you! read more

I am dumbfounded by any rating that is not a 4 or 5 star. I have been to Spaggi's at least 20 times and never had a bad meal or slow service. I had a fish special last week and I was so good we went back tonight. It is not very often I can remember going to the same restaurant on purpose twice within 7 days. Spaggi's is my favorite go to restaurant for a nice meal. read more

Very good service, excellent wine list, nice atmosphere. We had carpaccio (5 stars), caprese salad (4 stars), Osso buco done to perfection. Also had sea bass which was just ok. I'm going back, it was a great dinner in a very relaxed but upscale atmosphere. read more

We used to frequent but haven't been there in a few years. Once again they delivered outstanding food and exceptional service. Ronal served us and really knew the menu. The filet was perfectly cooked. The shrimp dish met all expectations. The Apple Tart was to die for! read more

Spaggi's - The apple tart is perfectly paired with Carmel ice cream. Yummy! - Italian Near Me - Upland, California

Spaggi's is our "go to" place for special occasions, a nice corporate lunch, or annual holiday party get togethers. It is outstanding Italian food, and I've never had anything on the menu I didn't like. You can always tell a good Italian restaurant if they can deviate from the menu a little, and make something truly special like a good arribiata sauce. Once I discovered their fettucini alfredo, I"ve never ordered anything else since. It's so outstanding and the alfredo sauce is light, and not heavy cream. read more

Great environment, professional wait staff, awesome salads, good dinner, terrible desserts. Recommended: Lasagna, pasta, sauces, salads. Not Recommended: "South African Sea Bass" special was especially dry, rubbery, and not fresh . Desserts are a joke...Carrot Cake was old, stale, dry, flavorless, with waxy frosting. Key Lime Cheesecake was good but looked old. Cool Whip instead of whipped cream=owner and chef are amateur hour. I hope they read this, get some fresh fish, and find a better warehouse to buy their desserts, because Spaggi's could be great. read more

I have gone to Spaggi's for years and honestly, I used to believe it was the best restaurant in Upland. I understand the pandemic has impacted restaurants, especially acquiring servers. That being said, this review is really about the food. My latest meal was average at best. The chicken was chewy and still had a lot of gristle left on it. The vegetables on side were just sad. They were mostly squash and then they added frozen corn to the mix. You could taste the freezer on the corn. This was also true of the peas in the soup. If you can't afford to provide fresh then don't include frozen elements. It just left me questioning my meal for the price. Also, I would recommend investing in better quality chairs for your outside patio. If I want to eat outside and sit in a plastic chair I will go to a restaurant that is not going to run me $200 for dinner for 4. I hope they recover and reinvest in food and chairs. I will wait to go back. read more

First time my girlfriend and I been here. Wine, PETTO DI POLLO FIORENTINO, and the CHILEAN SEA BASS was excellent! I would recommend to any one and we will be returning to try something different:) read more

My ladies group had their annual installation dinner here and it was exceptional. The service was superb with explanations and inquiries during the meal to make sure everything was going smoothly (it was!). I had the sand dabs and they were absolutely melt in your mouth delicious. The butter sauce was great and the veggies were just done perfectly. The salad before the meal was also good with a tart Italian based dressing. Dessert was just as great. I love these little local restaurants run by wonderful chefs who care about good food and service and work very hard to make sure that your dining experience is perfect from beginning to end. A word about the ambiance. Very Mediterranean, lush and beautiful. Lots of extra attention from the moment that you enter the esrtablishment until you leave. Keep these lovely little gems of restaurants on your list when you are looking for a good place to eat. They deserve to be supported and to thrive. read more

A group of 5 of us ate here. We were looking for a place away from the convention center chaos. We loved everything about this place. The atmosphere defies its location, tucked in behind other food places and stores. The service was impeccable. Our waitress knew her specials and gave us the right amount of attention. The food was outstanding. When in doubt have the lobster ravioli. I was with 4 women from the Monterey Peninsula who are familiar with fine dining. We all felt we had the perfect meal. read more

Great flavor, food cooked to perfection, beautiful presentation and excellent service! Thank you Chef Henry and Cameron! read more

Had the pleasure of dining with a good friend here for the first time. Very helpful and courteous staff. Our waiter Scott was kind and the food was incredible. The lobster bisque as well as the king crab legs were flavorful and sharp in taste. Will be returning again for dinner. read more

Wow. A slice of Europe. We just stroller in our jeans and were so pl asqntly supriaes by the fine dining experience. The tomato pasta for my kid was so good. As was the fish. Too bad I moved out California: but I definitely recommend everyone to try this place once. read more

I went here for Valentine's Day and it was nice! The restaurant is small and seems nicer than some of the surrounding establishments. The service was polite and attentive. The food was pretty good. Not the best italian food I've ever had but by far not the worst. I got the fettuccine primavera and the sauce was almost more like a soup. It tasted good but it was rather watery. I think I would try something else next time. The appetizer we had was good though. I would say that this place is worth a try! read more

Spaggi's provided an amazing dining experience for my boyfriend and I. We went to celebrate his birthday and the ambience was amazing. Nice, cozy dim lighting. Although the tables are close together, the experience was still very intimate, and the noise levels were not loud at all. The servers were all very nice and patient. The chef served us a complementary salad which was delicious! I ordered the carbonara from the Chef's dinner menu and my boyfriend ordered a very delicious chicken dish with potatoes and vegetables. The desserts were phenomenal. They brought them out on a beautiful platter for us to select a dessert option. I chose the crème brûlée and my boyfriend chose the cheesecake. Overall this was a fantastic dining experience and we will definitely be back. read more

great food. Chef is an amazing cook and Italy is in his kitchen. Try the linguini with seafood and his daily soups are always good. Great atmosphere and ambiance. Best Italian in this area for sure! read more

We first had our wedding beautifully catered by Chef Henry and his excellent staff 1 year ago. We recently returned to the restaurant for our 1 year anniversary and were not disappointed. Romantic, delicious, beautiful dinner with superb service. I had the sea bass special, my husband had new york steak... a meal to remember. We will make this an anniversary tradition. Highly recommend Spaggi's for catering events and celebratory nights out! read more

Fantastic! Hidden near Lowes it my go to place for something fancy. The service and quality is always top notch. I usually get what is on special because I like to try new things. Just fantastic all around. read more

It wasn't awesome but it was good. The service is great and I would go again. It's close to my home so that's a plus

While the food is good, it is on the pricey side. On two recent occasions I phoned ahead a take out order in the amount of about 76.00. The first time I walked in and found the owners wife on the phone for an extended conversation.... no acknowledgment, or a polite "I'll be right with you" completely ignored until she felt like getting off the phone. Once her call was complete she was more than happy to present me with the check ASAP. And disappeared into the kitchen. 5 minutes later a waiter emerged with my food. Today, I again placed my order by phone and arrived to pick up my order, this time the Chef owner was behind the bar on a phone call that lasted 10 minutes. As I walked in, he starred me down but made no acknowledgement of my presence what so ever. Still being ignored he ends his phone call on the bar phone and proceeds to get another call on his cell and walks away into the kitchen. 5 minutes later a waiter came out and finally helped me. Twice, now I've ordered 76.00 in food to go and have found this rude behavior. On each occasion the place was empty. Definitely won't be a 3rd time. After taking a step back and thinking about the situation I considered a few facts. Good food, bad customer service, bad location, A wannabe be fancy Italian restaurant in a low end strip mall behind Del Taco!! Lets do the math... Better customer service skills are needed starting from the top down. And to top it off, on the way out noticed the huge pictures on the wall were both askew OYE!! read more

I'm giving it 2 stars only because the food was delicious and we had a good waiter. But we get there at 6:45pm for a 7pm reservation and our reservation was moved to 8pm, even though there were tables empty. We were offered to be seated outside so we can be seated immediately so we accepted. They took 15min to give us menus. Four other tables were seated at least 15min after we were. We got our food at or after 8pm after ALL other tables were served. It felt we were at an exclusive club we weren't invited to. This is no way to treat paying customers. We will not be returning. I didn't complain more because I wasn't paying. read more

love Spaggi's ! We always go for special occasions with my boss the service, food and staff is amazing! The chicken parm is fantastic, used to be served with a side of pasta instead of the mashed potato I usually ask for it that because it's just too perfect!! great place! read more

Such a cute place for a romantic dinner. Sat outside in the patio with perfect weather. The staff were very welcoming and on top of everything. The house bread was warm and delicious. Ordered the burrata appetizer, spaghetti bolognese, fettuccine alfredo, and for desert pineapple upside down cake. Everything was amazing and the pasta tasted fresh! Would highly recommend this place. read more

The food is hands down amazing! I took my husband here for his birthday. I had heard of this place by word of mouth but all I have to say is WOW. We ordered the lasagna, glazed salmon, and the pot roast- all entrees were amazing! They even provided complimentary bread and summer salad. I loved the fact that the chef came out and chatted with us for a few minutes. It was nice, quiet and elegant for a Wednesday night. We will definitely be coming back! read more

We had reservations here for dinner, we arrived and were seated right away. The table was in a very awkward position so we asked the lady who seated us, which was the manager, if we could change tables.and she was very rude about it and said no, nothing but attitude. Then our waitress who was helping us throughout the night, not sure her name, but we couldn't read the menu because it was in a different language so I asked her what language it was in and she replies very sarcastically saying English, when clearly it wasn't. Then like every 10 minutes, a waiter kept coming to our table asking if we were done with our food. We felt extremely rushed, if I'm paying for the food you better let me eat in peace. The food was extremely overpriced for frozen peas and tortellini. Didn't taste fresh, wine was cheap, bread was stale. Just the whole vibe there was awkward and very very rude. We should've took our money elsewhere for the amount of red flags here. They need fresh food and better customer service for the prices they're asking for. read more
