Spaghettata Rotterdam — Restaurant in Rotterdam

The first thing that hits you when entering the establishment is the smell of an open sewer. Not a great start. Apparently, the bathrooms are located directly in front of the entrance in a cellar below. Don't know what is wrong with the plumbing but yeah, not a great start.

Prices are very steep for starters (almost the same for main courses) but some of them were great. However, the anitpasta plate (around 16 euros) which consists of a few slices of salami and 4 olives is atrocious to be honest. The prices on their website is also not up to date anymore. For example, the salmon tagliatelle is now 21 euros (not 18!).

Some of the starters were great (beef slices and octopus) but the our main courses were very underwhelming. The pasta was way too 'Al dente' (under cooked) and my salmon tagliatelle was so plain and devoid of taste that i would rather make one at home for myself. After the first bite I could already tell this is going to give me trouble and indeed the next day my own plumbing took a beating.

The service is very nice and helpful though. Then again, it was very quiet so I don't know how things are when the place is packed.

All in all, I suggest you go somewhere else. At the moment, you will not enjoy the...

We went there for dinner. We wanted to have a quick bite of Italian noodles and this place was just around the corner of our hotel. You get free bread (probably Ciabatta) from the place once you take a seat. My girlfriend got noodles with a cream truffles sauce and I had penne arrabiata. We also got a small portions of each because we weren't super hungry. I was amazed how well Al dente the noodles were cooked. Luckily for me the arrabiata sauce was spicy but not too spicy and it was very delicious in combination with the cheese on top of the noodles. The truffle sauce also tasted super good. We even used the bread to clean out any sauce left...

Nice place, nice location and kind service here at Spaguettata, but definetly not the best relation price/quality in an Italian restaurant in Rotterdam.

We went two people to have dinner there and paid 70€ for two rounds of drinks (Chardonnay+Apperol), a salad, a pizza and a panacotta, without any of that being spectacular. The pizza was super thin and lack of ingredients (definetly it is not worth 17€) and the panacotta was tasteless.

Three stars because the kind service and the terrace, but I can cook better Italian...
