If you’re looking for a cheap (arguably microwaved), pseudo-Italian eatery, La Spaghettata is for you. Obviously subjective, but for me ‘eating out’ should be a chilled-out, mellow and personal experience. At La Spaghettata, you are treated to an extremely limited menu of anglo-italian food (confusingly enough, food cooked by Italians to cater for the common British perception of what Italian food is supposed to taste like), a MILE long queue - yes it is popular, but cheap stodge so what do you expect.

There’s a ‘get em in, feed em + get em out’ mentality … cramped dining area and my pet-hate … FROZEN INGREDIENTS!!! I’m not being overly unkind by describing it as ‘a school dining room where you have to pay’ … cheap food, limited menu, plenty of punters - profit is inevitable and seems to have gone to the owner’s head … this is NOT Italian food … go to Bistro Italiano (Sicilian joint on Claypath) if that’s what you’re after and La Spaghettata if you’re after a heated ready-meal.
