Spaghetti Incident

“Great food. Everyone in my family loved it. I recommend the Italian sausage and pink sauce pasta (forgot the name). The noodles were perfectly cooked and had a hearty chew to them. The appetizers were also really nice too. I'll be thinking about this restaurant for a very long time.”

“I loved our time here. Everything was fantastic. The homemade gnocchi special was amazing. Everyone I was with love their dishes. The food was fresh and homemade. The vibe is great too. Definitely don’t miss it if you are in the area.”

“INCREDIBLE SPOT !! Snuggled into this block, spaghetti incident is the definition of a HIDDEN gem! The coziest atmosphere, lowkey street, you feel right at home. The owner works the front of house and is the kindest soul you’ll ever meet. He is so kind and accommodating, I can’t say nicer things about him. Now the atmosphere is exactly what you want in NYC. Snug, filled in, cozy. 10/10. The food is outstanding. Came for Valentines Day and had the best experience. Had a Cesar salad, mixed arancini, bolognese, spinachini, half liter of wine (insanely good deal), and the pana cotta. Food was just outstanding. Came out in the most perfect flow. Could not have been a better lowkey Valentine’s Day out. You did not feel rushed out of there, service was perfect. Everything on the menu was just delicious — the pana cotta was the best end to the night. I cannot wait to come back to this most special place. Cheers — what you have is so special!!”

“After a frustrating experience elsewhere nearby on Valentine’s Day, we called The Spaghetti Incident to see if they had any availability. They were upfront that space was very limited, but kindly told us that if we came right away, they could hold a table. They took my name, and when we arrived a few minutes later, the place was packed, yet they had kept a table for us. On an already busy Saturday night that also happened to be Valentine’s Day, that gesture meant a lot. From there, everything was excellent. The service was warm, polite, and genuinely hospitable. The food was very good. The caprese salad was fresh and well balanced, and the porcini mushroom pasta was rich and comforting without feeling heavy. The tiramisu was a bit different than expected, less coffee-forward than usual, but still very enjoyable and nicely balanced. The only area with room for improvement was the espresso martini. It tasted more like watered-down coffee with a faint alcoholic finish, rather than a bold, well-integrated cocktail. With a stronger espresso base or better balance, it could easily match the quality of the rest of the menu. Overall, this was a great experience and exactly what you hope for from a neighborhood restaurant that clearly cares about its guests. On one of the busiest nights of the year, they turned a stressful situation into a really enjoyable evening, and as a small business, they absolutely earned this five-star review.”

“Wonderful service and delicious food! My friends and I split a couple different dishes since we couldn't make up our mind, and it did not disappoint! We made a reservation which I would recommend since it's pretty small inside.”
