At the time of our visit in early April 2026, Spaghett was only 9 months old and had not yet been included in the Michelin Guide during my visit to Charlotte. I can confidently vouch that it is definitely deserving of recognition, to say the least. Luckily, I found Spaghett as a suggested link off of Counter's page on Tock, and knew I needed to make a reservation upon learning that both restaurants were led by the brilliant Chef Sam from Counter-. Spaghett is a farm-to-table Italian restaurant offering thoughtful reinterpretations of classic Italian cuisine, with ingredients sourced from the Carolinas, Virginia, and Texas. Wrapped in muted olive green and layered with a playful mix of patterned wallpapers, the space radiates quirk, freshness, and creative energy. Spaghett is led by a team of passionate and enthusiastic members. I wanted to especially highlight executive chef Kendall Moore and our server Adrienne, who were exceptionally hospitable during our visit. When I asked Adrienne about a specific pasta dish, I was pleasantly surprised when Chef Kendall personally came out to discuss his creation with the same passion and knowledge that Chef Sam brought at Counter-. Their shared energy--expertise executed with genuine passion in their trade--permeates every aspect of the experience. Exquisite food executed by people who are passionate geniuses in what they do. My favorite dish of the meal was the mushroom-filled balanzoni -- a bonnet-pinched pasta enjoyed by the wealthier population in Italy's northern Piedmont region. I fell in love with the savory mushroom filling, the smooth pasta, and the brodo broth. Exquisite, delicate, comforting, aromatic, silky, al dente, and autumnal -- I absolutely loved everything my partner and I ordered from the prix-fixe menu. The cullurielli (savory crispy donut fritter) is better than any doughnut you can find at a commercial donut shop. As an appetizer, the cullurielli paired extremely well with its Texas redfish crudo counterpart. The VA Trout was perfectly seasoned and paired superbly with its onion-forward broth. The alliums used in two of the dishes ordered (balanzoni pasta and VA trout) were such a comforting and flavorful choices that set Spaghett apart from all other restaurants in Charlotte. I would return for every seasonal menu if I were local. Locals and visitors alike -- do yourselves a favor and grab a table with your friends and loved ones. This is a truly special dining experience not to be missed when in Charlotte!

The restaurant is located in a beautiful historic house. I love how the preserved the beauty of the details in the house like the door and architecture. The way they renovated the interior to a restaurant is amazing. It was gorgeous. The staff was super friendly and helpful, especially when we were conflicted on what to order! We got cocktails which were fantastic and creative. We got many different meals to share amongst the table. I honestly can't remember what many of them were called but the star of the show was the meatloaf. 100% fantastic I had dreams of this meatloaf. I wish I could go back every week and order it. What a delicious restaurant and all around great experience.

Finally hit up Spaghett tonight for dinner and it did not disappoint. Service is top notch. Everyone was friendly from the moment I opened the door. Starters: Heirloom tomato salad with this outstanding vinaigrette that made me want to lick the plate. Seriously, I would put that shit on everything! Homemade focaccia served warm on a plate of good olive oil will make you question all other breads. Homemade daily and staff takes home leftovers Cocktail: French 75 with the freshest notes of citrus Entrees: 1) Cacio e pepe so good that if I closed my eyes I was in Rome. Whoever made that pasta is an artist. 2) The trout with crispy skin served on a bed of rice with this perfectly cooked slice of butternut squash with the stickiest of caramelized crust that worked when all fixed on the fork for the perfect bite. No room for dessert but this place lives up to the neighborhood dinner spot. Great moody Sunday rainy dinner in the city.

Spaghett is an absolute gem! Housed in a beautifully renovated old home, this intimate 13-table restaurant feels special the moment you walk in. The hostess was warm and welcoming, and our server was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. We started with the gnocchi, and I can't recommend it enough! The sauce had a perfect touch of spiciness, giving it just the right amount of kick. For our entrées, we both enjoyed fabulous pasta dishes that were fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. Everything is made in-house and sourced locally, and you can truly taste the difference. This is hands down one of the best restaurants I've discovered. A perfect spot for a night out--I can't wait to return!

This is a new restaurant in the Fourth Ward. We have been waiting for it to open for months, and it did not disappoint! The staff was so friendly and helpful. They are stressing reservations, but you should still come by even if you don't have one. I went on Friday night around 6 and got a table for 7. It started getting really busy around 8. They are "small" plates but that just means you could easily share. I think could have been fine to just have one. My date ordered a beef pasta dish, I had the Cacio de Pepe, and we shared the Bucatini. It was all good but the Bucatini was our favorite. There is a fun looking drink menu but I just had a glass of wine. We will definitely be back, and I look forward to visiting here more often!

Was so excited to try this place and was extremely disappointed. Service was great but food fell extremely short of the hype. No flavor to most of the dishes and hardly any sauce for any of the pasta. The meat was all overcooked....outside of the bread and the potato appetizer I can honestly say I didn't like anything. Hope they can get their act together because the restaurant has a great ambience. Also, there was mold in our drink and wasn't apologized to or get drinks comped. They made an excuse because of the house has up and down temperatures.

Food was worth the hype! The space is so well designed, food is deliciously fresh and the staff are the nicest people I have ever encountered! They truly love the space and the food - and they will be happy to tell you all the stories! The menu is so thoughtful curated. If we weren't so full we would have kept trying more - because it was SO good. Can't wait to go back again soon!

Finally open ! Waited a long time for this place, and it was such a great experience. Great service for a start and such a nice way to restore a house into restaurant, which I know was previously a restaurant but I know they changed things a bit. CJ our server was hands down amazing . So kind and sweet and easy to ask things from. We also met the manager Derek, also so nice. The mixologist Amanda who created some great drinks for us. The chef Kendall who came out to talk to us. Great knowledge about food and especially sourcing local. The house itself still has rooms filled with tables and high tops and the bar area. We loved our table as it wasn't near anyone and it was spacious. The menu is great . So many varied things . New things to me and some classic Italian dishes. Their cocktail menu was nice and simple and they also have a nice wine list . I went with the white Negroni, also on our table was the classic Negroni and the Big dom, bourbon based drink. All were excellent and served nicely. Food wise we ordered to share dishes. We started with the French toast alla carbonara. Take on the classic French toast but savory. With a honey aioli. Nice big slice of toast and the aioli underneath. It was a nice crunchy bite and even with the honey in the sauce it wasn't sweet. Nice different app. Also tried the NC terraine. Made if rabbit and pork. With sweet onion and stone fruit. Which was nectarine. This is recommend they serve with a cracker or some kind of bread. As by itself it's just kinda like meatloaf. You kind need something to put it on. CJ was nice enough to bring us some bread! It was really good rabbit though. Not gamey tasting and subtle flavors. Nothing overpowering. For entree we had the potato gnocchi with arribbatta sauce. This was excellent and we loved the sauce. Slightly spicy and a few jalapeños on top for a little extra heat. House made gnocchi was not too heavy but nice and fluffy. Our next dish was the Reginette, kinda a deconstructed lasagna. This came a little dry and scorched at the bottom and we sent back. They redid it and it was much better with extra sauce. Kendall the chef came out to apologize and we were impressed how quick they turned it around. The gnocchi was definitely my fave thing though. We had a lovely dinner here and enjoyed interacting with the staff. Even had a nice gin tasting with Amanda . Nice higher end Italian food and great environment.

What a fantastic experience! Kiki, the server, and Derek, the GM, were wonderful and made the experience truly one to remember. We were a large party and basically ordered the entire menu to try everything they had to offer. The house is very cute and it's a nice atmosphere. I do think it can use a bit more homey touches to give it the house feel but very cute all the same. If you're thinking about going, do it. It's worth the experience.

Spaghett in Charlotte's Fourth Ward is one of those spots that immediately charms you before you even sit down. Housed in a historic house, the place feels like grandma's Victorian living room got a glow-up, swapping lace doilies for Aperol art and a buzzing craft cocktail bar. I heard they hold a couple of tables for walk-ins, so I rolled the dice and landed at a high-top in the bar room, where the green walls and cozy vibe made me feel like I'd wandered into a pasta speakeasy. First thing I did was ask for a Diet Coke, which got me a polite "no" and the feeling I'd just asked for a Capri Sun at a wine bar. They do Italian sodas and spirit-free drinks, but I kept it humble with Charlotte's finest tap water. On Sundays and Mondays they offer something called Supper at Spaghett($60), a four-course chef's choice situation that's basically Italian omakase. No menus, no decisions, just vibes and hope they don't hit you with beets. Everything here is locally sourced from NC farms, and you can tell. First course was a tomato salad with peaches and vinaigrette made from tomatoes grown at Small City Farms. I don't usually mess with tomatoes, but these some were blanched and dressed like they had somewhere important to be, and paired with the vinaigrette they were bright and refreshing. Alongside that came focaccia with kale pesto and whipped ricotta. The bread was perfectly baked, sitting on top of rich olive oil, and that ricotta was so creamy and light it could've floated off the plate. For the pasta course, my server picked the gnudi, which were ricotta squash-stuffed pillows of joy. Heavy and creamy but the portion was smart, rich, heavy, creamy, and portioned just right that I felt like I was wrapped in an Italian grandmother's hug without needing a nap on her floral couch. Then came the intermezzo, a slice of sweet potato bread with aioli. The bread was insanely good, moist with just the right sweetness, and honestly I could eat it for breakfast every day. The aioli had a ham-like bite to it, which sounded odd but somehow worked. Still, that bread didn't need any help, it was that good. For the entrée I got the coulotte steak (sirloin cap), cooked medium rare with a pan sauce in the style of steak Diane, served with mushrooms, potatoes, and broccolini. It was flavorful, tender, and juicy. Didn't blow my socks off, but it was solid, and the sauce tied everything together nicely. Dessert was a bread pudding with apple cider caramel, served warm and reminding me of challah French toast that had wandered into an apple orchard. Good, cozy, but not the most memorable dish of the night. Overall Spaghett nails the concept of being a neighborhood pasta house with personality. The space is charming, the food is thoughtful, and the menu is playful enough to surprise you without getting too weird. It's Italian food seen through a Carolina lens, with everything sourced from local farms, and the staff keeps things relaxed and approachable. Just make a reservation unless you're feeling lucky, and whatever you do, don't ask for a Diet Coke unless you're ready for the side-eye. Want more legit Charlotte food spots without the fluff?

Easily the best Italian in charlotte. 75 for their 4 courses is basically stealing. Every dish was great. The PB Panna Cotta was on another level. Best vodka sauce in town as well.

Outstanding! This team blew us away with both menu and service. The entire staff was warm and attentive, making us feel invited and appreciated. The flavors were incredible - drinks and plates were 5 stars. We definitely will be back! Thank you to our server Mike for outstanding service! Shout out to Amanda and leadership for gracing charlotte with this concept!

Really enjoyed this place - so much that I went back a second time within a couple weeks after my first visit. It's in a redone old house with each room having a unique vibe and providing an intimate feel. I love that the ingredients are all fresh and the menu changes based on that. Everyone that works there is very nice and knowledgeable. Different people brought out each course and explained the dishes as they did. Also have a diverse cocktail menu - I tried the white Negroni which is quite different than my usual and loved it. Will be back!
