I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Spaghetti Kettle, located at 7756 Route 5, Clinton, N.Y. 13323, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was impressively quick, striking a perfect balance between efficiency and attentiveness without being overwhelming.
Our server, Jill, was exceptional and easily one of the best servers I’ve encountered. Her friendly demeanor and keen awareness of our needs made the dining experience seamless. Jill anticipated what we needed before we even realized it ourselves, and her preparedness when taking our orders was remarkable.
We started our meal with the mozzarella sticks, which were nothing short of amazing. They were perfectly cooked with no greasy residue on the outside, just the right amount of breading, and plenty of gooey cheese inside. The accompanying marinara sauce was also very flavorful, complementing the mozzarella sticks perfectly.
For the main course, I opted for the vodka riggies, and they were absolutely divine! The sauce was a creamy, well-seasoned white sauce that covered the rigatoni beautifully, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. I honestly wished I could have had a second portion, they were that good!
My dining companions tried the meatball soup and meatball riggies, both of which were exceptional. The meatballs tasted homemade and blended wonderfully with the rest of the ingredients, enhancing both the soup and the riggies with their rich, savory flavor.
The ambiance of The Spaghetti Kettle adds to its charm. This quaint little place is impeccably maintained both inside and out, with cleanliness evident in every corner, right down to the bathrooms. The warm and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home.
In summary, The Spaghetti Kettle offers a delightful dining experience with its top-notch service, delicious food, and cozy ambiance. From the incredible mozzarella sticks and superb vodka riggies to the exceptional meatball dishes, every aspect of our meal was satisfying and memorable. The impeccable service, particularly from our server Jill, elevated our visit to another level. We will definitely be returning to this gem of a restaurant and recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in...
Read moreAs I sit here with my son and husband I figured id write my review...we have been here for at least 2 hours. The waitress took our drink order after 20 mins of sitting here. Then a half hr later she came back to take our order...we had our bread and salad and we have been sitting here this whole time waiting. The waitress has attended to 2 of the neighboring tables with no acknowledgment to us. She just brought the food to the table next to us and said our food will be out...that was 10 mins ago...now she is pavking up their food and we still haven't gotten ours...we were informed the kitchen got overwhelmed with tickets so they are working on ours now...2 hours later...this place is not kid friendly either. Upon receiving our food. After 2 and a half hours my wife and I just sat there staring at our.......appetizers. Apparently they were the entrees due to the fact that we never were given any additional dishes. Halfway through our meal, We were reassured that we were going to receive Free of charge desserts following our meals. We were thinking we were getting the luxury of picking from gourmet pies, cheese cake, etc. However not much to our surprise we given two choices.......a conoly........or white cake. Quite surprising for a place that you need ypur tax return with you prior to entering their facility. It just so happens that the local gas station offers free conolies complementary upon each fill up and a white cake mix can be had at Your local dollar tree. Next time......Darla's place or Apple Betties all the way. And if they're closed........its dollar menu time. My wife and I learned a very hard lesson. And unfortunately are...
Read moreI had a Saturday evening dinner here with my cousin, recently. I've never been before, and because I am Italian, didn't really expect too much. (Italians are notoriously firm in their opinions about how any dish should be prepared and served)! I was pleasantly surprised by the menu choices and found it difficult to make my dinner selection, so like many diners, I cheated and went with what my cousin ordered (she'd been here before). I'd not had anyone else's chicken riggies in years, so thought it would be fun to try this restaurant's version. You have several choices in the way they are served. I went with classic chicken riggies and rose sauce. First, the portions are truly enormous. Not big, not generous, ENORMOUS! I ate until I was full and still had enough left over for more than one additional meal! The riggies were delicious. The rigatoni were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was savory and without a hint of acid. The service was very attentive without being intrusive. The young woman server really knew her job and did it very well. The place is perfect for two cousins to catch up on life (haven't seen each other in years). I did not have a drink, but my cousin did and it was quite nice! So, if you want authentic (albeit more southern Italian style) Italian dishes, this is your place. Reasonably priced with good parking and comfortable seating. When next in NY, will definitely visit here again and try more of the...
