    Called ahead to check on walk-in availability and the receptionist was super pleasant and let us know they had space -- such a great start to the evening. After a quick stop at Bon Bon Swedish Candy, we headed over and loved the cozy interior. Our server was very helpful with pasta and wine recommendations, and every dish we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend pairing your pasta with the Montepulciano. Will definitely be back! Would recommend this spot for a date night!

    Perfect little spot. Quiet and comfortable. Food was beautifully made with love and tasted delicious. Carbonara was silky and delicious. The arancini trio were all delicious as well. Hard to choose a favorite!

    Husband: "this is what pasta is supposed to taste like." Couldn't have said it better myself. So delicious. Ragu Bolognese Carbonara

    Such a cute hole in the wall! I am so glad I finally made my way to spaghetti incident. They had such a nice and cozy atmosphere and a great staff. We ordered a Cesar salad, the tomato spaghetti and pesto spaghetti. Everything was so delicious! The tomato spaghetti was super fresh and the pesto was so flavorful. The portion sizes were great as well. We finished off the night with cappuccinos which was great.

    Thrilled to be able to update my previous review from a 4 star review to a now 5 star review! We had the opportunity to visit Spaghetti Incident again a few weeks ago. Happy to find that everything is still spectacular and now, it is no longer cash only! Food is still phenomenal, only to be outdone by their incredible & attentive staff. Every time I leave Spaghetti Incident, I'm ready to return. If you haven't gone yet, what are you waiting for?!

    I am so glad we happened across this spot on Resy! The service was outstanding. We came for my partners brothers birthday. It's very cozy and you feel like family. The FOH workers were all amazing and the food was incredible. All three entrees (listed in the photo) were delicious. We will definitely be back when we are in the city!

    Fresh homemade pasta for a decent price. Make sure to make a reservation especially on the weekend since it's small. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I appreciated that they let us sit and chat after we finished our meal and we were finishing our wine. I had the salmon asparagus dish. The pasta was cooked perfectly but the entire dish ended up smelling and tasting fishy from the salmon. I would be open to trying a different dish next time but I wouldn't recommend. My friend had the pesto special and she didn't love the pesto sauce.

    I was so impressed by Spaghetti Incident! I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it. We were struggling to find a last minute dinner spot on Saturday. Many places in the area were all booked up and we saw an opening here, it ended up being such a delicious meal. The restaurant is cozy and dimly lit. Not a huge space, probably best for a date night or a small group of friends. Their menu is stacked with pasta dishes, and the waiter told us about some specials. Some options include fresh pasta, others a dry pasta, but all of that is detailed on the menu. To start, we shared their Arancini Mix. This was a fun app, we all had different favorites. For main, I ordered the Chitarra pasta which was a fresh tomato sauce with pieces of mozzarella. We also got the rigatoni salsiccia and the mushroom truffle pasta. Our table also ordered the special pasta of the night which had pancetta in a cream sauce. All the food was really delicious. It tasted so authentic and fresh. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place! It's a very good option in the area.

    4 stars is just about right. I remember it tasting like 5 stars years ago. I'm mostly giving them kudos for homemade pasta and homemade taste. Food was all missing some flavor.

    Cozy dining room and friendly staff. The wait staff was super helpful and as usual we went in without a reservation and they graciously gave us a table immediately. Started the meal with a mix Arancini, all three were flavorful and crunchy as anticipated, lasagna and ragu bolognese for our main course and ended the meal with a chocolate cake. Nothing to be blown away by but overall a good meal.

    Nice little pasta spot down in the LES. Service wasn't the best but we were seated outside so not sure if it's better inside! Not my favorite pasta spot, but definitely a good option in the area

    Went here on a quiet tuesday night. We were the only table. The server was good and attentive. The food came out quick and delicious. Would definitely come here again and recommend this place. Ambiance is nice and quaint. Definitely a small place.

    4.5 stars! Very accommodating and friendly staff for my birthday party with 16 friends. We all got different orders and drink and we brought a cake. Everyone loved the staff and food was nice.

    I went to the take-out side. They accept credit card for purchases over $10

    Are the portions in the cone reasonable and filling? I have a big appetite so ?

The flavors were good, the portion was surprisingly filling and they have a great lunch deal for $15 fettuccine Alfredo with a topping I believe.

Walking in, there is a decent amount of seating and you can see them making the food fresh in front of you. I do like how small the menu is - small menu generally menus fresher food. I don't really eat dairy so just ordered the fettuccine without cheese and then chose the arrabbiata sauce. I wish they gave me a heads up about how spicy the sauce would be - my mouth was legit on fire. Food wise - I didn't love the portion sizes, I was definitely hungry after it was over and felt the texture of the pasta was softer than I'd like - probably because it's fresh. Even though I was burned this time (literally with the spice), I'd be down to come back and try another one of their sauces and even be more open minded about adding dairy since it seems like one of their specialties!

    I was at this tasty Italian spot a while ago for dinner with one of my groups, where we shared a…read morebunch of dishes as per usual. The place wasn't super crowded, but there were eventually some people there. The place felt comfortable, and the service was friendly. To drink, I got the Blood Orange Negroni for $17 with Hendricks gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, fresh blood orange juice, and a slice of orange as garnish. I usually prefer Negronis that lack Campari as I find that liquor to be a bit too sweet, at least as far as amaro goes, but this was tasty and better balanced as the juice and gin helped to reduce the sweetness. I would recommend it. They gave us some fresh bread with some good olive oil to begin with, which was tasty. Our only appetizer was the $18 Fried Trio, listed as a tempting mix of crispy fried goat cheese w/ honey & chili oil, carbonara arancini, and capers croquettes. This also came with some tomato sauce for dipping, presumably primarily for the arancini. My preference of the bunch was the fried goat cheese due to the bit of funk and spice. I also liked the arancini as the texture was nice, while my least favorite were the croquettes. This was a nice mix, though perhaps a bit salty. For main dishes, we got two pastas, which were both $19, and two entrees. My favorite of the entrees easily was the Mushroom & White Truffle Lasagna with shiitake, porcini, and cremini blend of mushrooms, béchamel sauce, truffle ricotta, and fresh mozzarella on top. Many lesser spots would mix all these things and make the dish a bit too earthy or almost perfumy from the truffle and mushroom flavor, but not this one. There was just enough of the béchamel and cheese that it was pretty balanced. The pasta texture was nice also. This was rich but delicious, and easily worth the price. I wasn't as big a fan, though that is more because of a caveat, of the Hot Rigatoni Vodka With Guanciale & Sausage, listed as rigatoni pasta in a creamy, spicy vodka sauce, paired with rich guanciale and spicy sausage. I generally prefer guanciale in dishes like pasta alla gricia rather than in already spicier tomato sauces, as I tend to find that the flavor doesn't shine through as much. Otherwise, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and there was plenty of meat inside. We liked both of the mains also. A slight preference goes to the Flounder a la Francese for $26, with lightly battered flounder pan-fried to golden perfection and finished with a delicate white wine and lemon butter sauce. It was a large piece of fish, and it was indeed tender with a light batter. There were plenty of capers, but it wasn't too salty, and the bit of pasta on the side was perfectly cooked as well. I would recommend this. Our last entree was the $34 Short Ribs With Polenta, consisting of tender, slow-braised short ribs over a creamy bed of polenta. The texture of the polenta was nice, and the short ribs were indeed tender, but not too fatty. This was the plainest of the entrees, but it was still tasty. This was a tasty Italian spot with quality food at reasonable prices. I would definitely go back.

    We got a reservation for Sunday, February 15, at 1:15pm…read more A reservation was not really needed. There was no line and we were quickly seated. There were only two other tables with guests in the restaurant. The service was super quick. I got the pulled pork tortellini; the tangy, butter sauce was really good, but the tortellini portion was small. I preferred the rigatoni that my husband got. The bread that they bring to the table was fresh and delicious. I would come here again.

Was also thoughtful in handing us our orders correctly which was nice. For the food itself I heard good things and was hoping to love it more-- but I think I was slightly disappointed. The flavors aren't so bad overall and if you have a pasta itch it'll scratch. But I've tried other places better at a similar or even cheaper price point with protein added in. I got the "some like it hot" while my friend got "midnight desire" with burrata added in. I paid about 22 for each dish. Now for my thoughts - flavor for "some like it hot" was not bad, sauce was a slight bit watery for my liking. The spice was nice and I liked that part the most. Pasta was "OK". The ravioli was stuck together for some, filling was adequate but, I would've liked a little more. I don't want to sound harsh, but it was all around just an ok spot. Maybe it was just that day. Burrata added is nice, I took mine to go do sadly it was melted on top (recommend to pack the burrata separately for to go orders) - "midnight desire" is basically vodka and the flavor for this one was kind of odd for me. Not the normal vodka I am used to. I personally wouldn't really get it again. It wasn't a bad sauce, just not like vodka I know. Had a slight "bitter(?)" aftertaste from some seasoning I guess. I'm not a pasta connoisseur but I AM Italian and I've tasted a wide ranger of pastas lol-- I think yummy cheese pasta in Hell's Kitchen offers a similar concept, portion but is more filling, diverse options for adding and overall, slightly cheaper. Perhaps I'll give this place another try on another day..
