Spaghetti Lane — Restaurant in Barrington

Husband and wife team. Chef Michael grew up in an Italian family and the recipes were passed down from his mother. His wife Mary Beth manages the wine bar and pastry shop. She bakes about 50% of the Italian pastries. The other 50% of the pastries come from Modern Pastry Shop on Hanover Street in the Italian North End in Boston. The best pastry shop in Boston. My family's from Florence Italy So I've had a few Italian dishes in my life Everything was phenomenal Dessert I had the Italian cookie made with ricotta cheese. One Mary Beth's specialty creations. Outstanding in every way freaking delicious. The wine bar / pastry shop and espresso is in the second entrance on the left side I had dinner in the cafe not the main dining room. Chef Michael prepares the Italian delicacies for the restaurant and the wine bar / pastry shop. Service was impeccable. I chose the seafood pasta. Overabundance of scallops shrimp and lobster in a red sauce. Usually I finish my meal at restaurants. Extra large portion here I brought half of my dinner home. I grew up on the water. I've been on Lobster Boat, Scallop boats, fishing boats, plus digging my own seafood. All the ingredients of the highest quality Best I've had in the area The wine bar has an excellent selection of wines. Chef Michael and his wife Mary Beth are very friendly and came over to my table A real passion for food and service for their guests. Prices for the quality of food and the service is a real deal here. None better around the area. I chose an Italian Chianti Wine DOC that was absolutely Delicious. I left with a feeling that I was spoiled and...

Review for Spaghetti Lane

Last night, we found THE Italian restaurant—Spaghetti Lane. We initially had a reservation for six but ended up with a last-minute change to eight. When we called, they didn’t just accommodate us; they welcomed us with genuine warmth that only an Italian restaurant could muster.

The magic started when we arrived and sat down. The owner-chef himself came over and asked, “Would you like us to do family style and just start bringing out the best we’ve got?” The answer was, of course, a resounding yes. But here’s the thing: I don’t think he was cooking our food. I’m convinced he has a direct portal to Italy itself, pulling in every dish straight from the heart of Florence, Rome, and Naples.

Course after course, the food kept coming, each plate somehow impossibly better than the last. There were dishes I couldn’t even pronounce, but each bite took us deeper into Italian culinary heaven. The flavors were as bold as they were delicate, and the ingredients seemed like they had been handpicked from some perfect little Italian garden.

By the end of the meal, I could practically hear a chorus of angels singing in harmony with each perfectly seasoned, beautifully plated masterpiece. There are Italian restaurants, and then there’s THE ITALIAN RESTAURANT. Spaghetti Lane has set a new standard.

If you haven’t been to Spaghetti Lane yet, go immediately. Trust me, you’ll be transported straight to Italy. It’s more than a meal—it’s...

I went out to dinner on a Friday with my two small kids, to get us out of the house while my husband was away. We went before 5 because I know Fridays are typically busy and kids aren't fun to be around. We were sat outside and after the host brought us our water the waitress came over and complained to the host, while at our table about why did she sit us here we were taking up too big of a table, it made me very uncomfortable and I offered to move but she scoffed me off and said no it was fine. After the waitress took our order I noticed that other tables were offered a list of specials, and were brought bread before their meal with oil and vinegar. We got bread, but no O&V and we were not told about specials. My last problem came when I got my check the waitress had overcharged me for an additional glass of wine, I understand that these mistakes can happen however it felt more intentional as I was obviously an easily distracted Mom out with her kids barely looking over the bill. In combination with the other problems I had with service I do believe this was intentional. The food was fine, but honestly my overall experience and how unwelcome and burdensome I was made to feel made me not want to come back here again. In a community with a lot of families I would think families with children would be more welcome, my experience at this restaurant...
