It was 1986 when we saw a piece of land with a sign on Seal Beach Boulevard that read Restaurant Site Available. Build to Suit. We were actively looking for a place to open a restaurant at that time but first there were some problems to work out. To start, we knew a lot about running restaurants but very little about building them.
Secondly, was the fact that this project was going to take a lot of money, which was something neither one of us had. And lastly, we believed that no one in their right mind would sign off on such a huge project with a couple of rookie restaurant owners.

First time at Spaghettini's and it did not disappoint. Even on a busy Friday night, the staff (especially our server Eddie) was attentive, eccentric, and completely divine. They were the perfect mix of professional, knowledgeable, yet friendly and welcoming. We started the night off with the Meatball starter, which was phenomenal, and made our way to a bottle of delicious wine and complimentary bread.
We thought we had the best already, but little did we know, the best was yet to come.
We ordered the short rib and tomahawk rib eye, both of which were mouth watering and made to perfection

Spaghettini has been one of my favorite restaurants for years now! This past weekend was extra special and made me fall in love with the restaurant even more. It was my wife's birthday. Robert was our waiter and was phenomenal. We had a group of eight and he never missed a beat with our orders or requests. He always called me by name and made me feel so welcome! He was attentive and always willing to help us. Excellent service, great atmosphere, and amazing company! Seriously hard to beat this place and we are big-time foodies and have been to many high-end restaurants! This is one of our

Spaghettini may not have the cheapest of Happy Hours but I can certainly say they have some refreshing drinks and tasty food! One of the best things about this restaurant is that they have steak Frites available for Happy Hour. Where else can you say you can have steak for Happy Hour?

Had dinner there because we got tickets to see DW3. They are an old skool R&B group. Nice ambience and service was great! The food was delicious but on the pricey side. Needless to say, my hubby and I decided this would be our “splurge” dinner. We ordered 2 entrees (my plate was from the specials menu so it came with salad and dessert). I had a cocktail and a shot of vodka. All came out to a little over $150.
Would I return? Yes. But it would have to be when I want to treat myself. Overall, great restaurant. Oh yea, if anyone enjoys great live music of old and new skool R&B, I would recommend

Spaghettini was one of those restaurants that I would see every time I off-ramped the 405 but I'm glad I finally got to give it a try! It definitely became one of my "in plain sight" favorites around town.
Upon entry, it had a consistent atmosphere wherever you might have found yourself in the restaurant; dark and noisy. I'm not bothered by tables in close proximities but I knew it was to situate the amount of people coming in and nothing felt too close but it definitely didn't feel spacious either.
With that said, let me jump into the food that made all of complaints

I. Love. This. Spot.
I first was introduced to Spaghettini in 2014 and I visited about 4 times in the 18 months I remained in the Los Angeles area.
DW3 is amazing!! I am a huge fan.
My husband and I went to the LA area to celebrate NYE/NY and I decided we’d go to Spaghettini for NYE. We were not disappointed.
Though life happens and DW3 had some substitutes that night, the group still did its thing. Every single member of the band was great - and you wouldn’t know this group didn’t perform together all the time.

Finally tried this spot that I kept seeing while driving on the 405 north and south. Unfortunately it was a bit lack luster.
I ordered a seafood fettuccine dish. The seafood was very nicely cooked but their was no flavoring from the sauce.
My wife ordered a ravioli dish which was slightly over cooked for our tastes and lacked any cheese flavoring.
Finally we ended with a chocolate cake slice for desert which was not bad.
Overall the service was solid. But the food was medicore. If I recall I spent close to $200 on our meal and still left hungry and wanting more flavor. I wouldn't go back

This is an annual destination for Christmas Eve dinner, and they have never disappointed. The cocktails are well-crafted with some unique offerings, and the wine selection is full of delicious choices. The food is always excellent, whether you choose steak, seafood, or pasta. The tenderness of their steaks nearly allows you to slice your next bite with a fork. The service has always been excellent here as well. Drinks are served quickly, orders are prepared correctly and the servers and bussers are polite and attentive.

My first time here was November 27th. My best friend and I were originally supposed to eat elsewhere in Los Alamitos, but he missed the exit and we ended up exiting Seal Beach Blvd and then I remembered always passing this restaurant Spaghettini on my way home from work before. So I thought, ooou let's look at Yelp, the menu, and find out how long the wait is! 4.5 stars on Yelp, the menu looked amazing, and the hostess said the wait was only about 15 minutes! Score!
Parking: it was a Saturday night and the parking lot (although pretty big) was fully packed and we couldn't find an open

Dr. Fred Haney, a venture capitalist, founder of Monday Club, and co-founder of Tech Coast Angels booked us a private room for our Holiday Luncheon. It was my first time eating here. The atmosphere is very nice, elegant, and cozy. Great customer service from the time I was greeted at the entry, to the end of our lunch. Very friendly, attentive, and polite.
The salad was good, nothing special. I liked their bread. The white wine was good. The main course which I ordered Sea Food pasta was good. I enjoyed the lobster, crab, and shrimp. Lastly, the dessert was good too. I was stuffed. I hope to come

Very cute spot to have a dinner for a date or celebration! It looks straight out of Gilmore Girls with so many pumpkin and fall decor!
The food was super delicious! I loved the butternut squash ravioli! It was super cozy, but the portions were smaller than expected... it was $27 for 5 raviolis. The ribeye was also cooked perfectly and was very tender. I would highly recommend the mushroom pasta as well!
Con- no one in the restaurant, even the workers, was wearing a mask... not a very Covid-19 safe place.

I was invited to a private brunch at Spaghettini's. We had three courses and each one was great! Loved the breakfast items, the calamari, the crab cakes, shrimp, seafood pasta, the sea bass and even the Caesar salad. I loved every item. The unlimited champagne was great too! The band was AMAZING!! I definitely can't wait to go back.

To be honest not what I expected. With that said i was not disappointed either. The food was good. For tge appetizer your must try the meatballs. The porkchop was amazing. The macaroni and cheese I dont have to try again. But the dessert was great-Lemon cheesecake was amazing. The cuatomer service was great. It is a great date vibes. You must check it out.

This return visit was so much better! Butternut squash ravioli in brown butter sage was rich and custardy --perfect with a big glass of buttery Rombauer Chardonnay. Chicken Parmesan was delicately crisped. Loved the big blue wedge salad with thick smoked bacon and heirloom tomatoes.
We opted to sit outside as there was a massive jazz concert crowd indoors and we were celebrating a 70th birthday and didn't want to risk it so probably missed the usual birthday festivities (they give you a dessert with sparkler and photo) by switching tables, which was a bummer. Otherwise perfect!

I had been eyeing Spaghettini for awhile and wanting to try it. I finally had the chance to try it last weekend and was sadly disappointed by the food. The service was wonderful and I loved the outdoor seating with the market lights but the food really fell short of my expectations.
We started with the pommery shrimp, cioppino, and Caesar salad . The sauce for the shrimp was excellent but the shrimp itself was kinda stinky so I'm not sure how fresh they were. My Italian gf send thr cioppino back because she said it was really bland and tasted like spaghettios so the waitress was sweet and

Came here recently to celebrate a milestone birthday. You can make reservations on Open Table but they require a credit card. We called instead and no credit card was required.
We opted for outdoor dining and our dogs were allowed. Parking can be a hassle since the lot is a bit small (multiple signs say not to park in the Kobe lot) but since I went on a weekend we were able to park across the street in the office building parking lot and it was fine.

I've heard about this spot for years and finally went for happy hour. I absolutely loved it. Our server was phenomenal and took such good care of us.

It's one of the few places that still offers a fabulous happy hour and there's tons of parking and outdoor seating.

Spaghettini is a fabulous place in Seal Beach to celebrate for any occasion. What makes this place unique is definitely the Jazz Lounge.
ENVIRONMENT
I'll take a queue from my daughters who are 7 and 8-years- old. They loved this whole place - the decor, the bricks, the gardening, the pillows on the seats, and even the women's restroom, referring to it as beautiful and fancy. Indeed it was.
It's fairly close to the pier, so afterwards you can drive your loved one(s) down to stick your toes in the sand and get some much needed oceanic wave therapy.

What a treat in Seal Beach,CA. Wonderful environment. Live jazz band. Private room for rent. Appetizers were fantastic (shrimp, prosciutto board, and calamari), drink menu was flavorful, the entrees were tasty and the desserts were full filling. Service was excellent. All our glasses were topped off without asking. Parking is always full, plenty of extra space across the way, I would suggest just using the valet $7. Overall experience was 5stars.
