Spaghettini Pizza Trattoria — Restaurant in Town of North Hempstead

I recently visited Spaghettini for the first time and had a decent experience. Located in Mineola, this restaurant offers a blend of fine dining Italian cuisine and classic pizza by the slice. The interior is spacious, featuring both table and booth seating, along with an outdoor patio where they host events and live music, reminiscent of a classic Long Island pizzeria.

The staff seemed friendly, though my interaction with them was brief--mainly taking orders and delivering food promptly.

Spaghettini offers a modest selection of slices. I opted for a regular cheese slice and an eggplant parm slice, while my brother tried the vodka sicilian slice.

The restaurant is clean, and there's paid street parking nearby.

PLEASE READ:

I am creating a new Pizza Review Series in which I will be rating slices from over 30 different pizzerias in my local area in Nassau County, Long Island. I will use a regular cheese slice as a baseline and a specialty slice as added depth to the review. These rating are solely based on my opinion and taste preference so please do not be offended if one of my ratings does not align with your opinion on the pizza.

I am excited to have Spaghettini as my fourth review in this series!

#2 Spaghettini Pizza Trattoria

Cheese slice: Thin and crispy with no flop, perfect for folding. It had just the right amount of cheese and sauce, although there was a bit more oil than I prefer. Overall, I rate this slice a 9/10.

Specialty slice (Eggplant Parm): The slice was thin and crispy, but unfortunately, the eggplant slices were too thick, causing toppings to fall off when lifted. Inconsistent heating left some parts piping hot and others cold. The flavor leaned heavily towards raw eggplant rather than a well-composed eggplant parm. I doubt I would order this slice again. Overall, I rate it a 5.2/10.

If I could give more than five stars, I would — because that’s exactly the kind of experience Liz (Elizabeth) creates at Spaghettini. From the moment we walked through the door, she treated us not just as guests, but as cherished friends. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail transformed a great night into an unforgettable one.

Liz has that rare ability to anticipate what you need before you even ask. She is attentive without being overbearing, gracious yet confident, and somehow manages to be everywhere at once while still making you feel like you're her only priority. Every recommendation she gave — from the perfect wine pairing to the standout dishes on the menu — was spot-on. It’s clear she knows Spaghettini inside and out and takes genuine pride in her role.

But it wasn’t just about the service. Liz exudes joy, passion, and authenticity. She elevates the entire dining atmosphere with her charisma and sincere energy. She didn’t just serve us a meal — she gave us a memory. And in a world full of ordinary dining experiences, Liz is the kind of person who reminds you what true hospitality is supposed to feel like.

Spaghettini is lucky to have her, and so were we.

Thank you, Liz, for a night we’ll never forget. We will absolutely be back — and we’ll be...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Experience with Elizabeth at Spaghettini!

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Spaghettini in Mineola, and I have to give a huge shoutout to our incredible server, Elizabeth. From start to finish, she made the entire experience exceptional — warm, attentive, and knowledgeable without ever being overbearing. She truly elevated our night.

The food? Phenomenal. I ordered the surf and turf lobster special and the 2lb lobster special — both were cooked to perfection, incredibly fresh, and full of flavor. The buffalo roll had just the right amount of heat and crunch, and the Caesar chicken wrap was crisp, creamy, and so satisfying. Every bite was memorable.

Elizabeth’s recommendations and attention to detail made us feel like VIPs. She anticipated every need and created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that made us want to come back again immediately.

If you’re thinking of going to Spaghettini, ask for Elizabeth. She’ll take care of you like family — and the food will absolutely...
