Spaghetti Shark — Restaurant in Tempe

We decided to try Spaghetti Shark for the first time today as we try to support small businesses. We got the Shipwreck, a chicken parm sub, a build your own (spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs), and the great white cheesy bread. Went back in for desert. Got the tiramisu, banana pudding, and the cocoa reef parfait (don’t judge I wanted to try it all). Decently priced for the portions you get. They have excellent customer service and even mentioned the wait times as it’s prepared to order. All the orders have a sticker minus the build your own so you’re not sorting through your bag trying to figure out what’s what. The shipwreck while being unique was good and the meatballs are delicious (not too dense and right on with seasoning). We love their sauce they use. The sub was amazing. And the bread is equally amazing. I’d recommend anything from here as I don’t think you can go wrong. Plus they do not skimp on the cheese which is always a plus. Their desert is also perfect. Not overly sweet and he mentioned it was made today. Banana pudding was the right amount of banana. And the chocolate parfait is a chocolate lovers dream. If you’re going to support a small business for spaghetti (or give them a chance over big chains) I’d recommend here in a heart beat. They also...

We ordered two pasta dishes, pizza bites, a sausage sub, cheesy bread and the chicken parm - every single thing we had was outstanding. Better than Fancy sit-down Italian joints, and we ordered take out! It was all still so fresh when we got it home. The pasta was perfectly cooked, not mushy or slimy or too wet, seriously just delicious pasta. The marinara sauce is tangy and flavorful but not too sweet and the Alfredo was creamy and flavorful. I swear I have had so many Alfredo sauces at restaurants near me and they all taste like nothing. The bread on the sub was soft but hearty, so while the sandwich was well sauced, it wasn't soggy. Oh, and the chicken parm is juicy while still being thin and lightly breaded... It's perfection, no joke. One if the owners (who helped us) was warm and helpful and it really is a cute little spot. Their prices are so reasonable (I told my husband I really feel like they could charge more for this stuff considering the quality). This area is seriously wanting for takeout Italian/pasta dishes, and Spaghetti Shark slaps. Glad to have them in the...

My wife and I visited Spaghetti Shark on their opening day (Monday, June 23rd), and we were blown away. We ordered the #1 Megalodon Marinara Special ($47.99), and it was a ton of food: a large serving of spaghetti with marinara, eight meatballs, a large Caesar salad, an 8oz side of marinara, and not one but two full loaves of garlic bread. Everything tasted homemade—rich, flavorful, and comforting, like the best kind of home-cooked Italian meal.

We also got a slice of cheesecake and tiramisu, and both desserts were top-tier.

The staff was incredibly friendly, our food came out fast, and the portions were perfect for sharing or having leftovers. We ate at 5pm, passed out in a satisfied food coma, and woke up just in time to finish our desserts. 😂

If you’re looking for great Italian food in Tempe, generous portions, and a locally owned business to support, Spaghetti Shark is a must-visit. We’re already planning our...
