"I had to visit Spaghetti Head after reading a glowing review. I'd have to agree that the pasta dishes were of generous proportions (those pasta bowls are deceptively deep), bursting with flavour, texture and colour. The fresh pasta certainly lifts the dishes. Front of house was friendly and courteous. The kitchen is open so you can smell and hear the dishes being prepared. I'll be back!"

"We loved this place. Food was just superb. Beautifully cooked pasta and lots of flavour in those dishes. Ricotta on the crostini was so fresh tasting. Even my son’s cottoletta (some may call it chicken nuggets) was crisp with moist chicken inside. And very reasonable prices too."

"We’re visiting from Sydney and it’s our 2nd time here in a few days!! The food is amazing - we have had take out both times and it’s been delicious. You can tell the chef puts in a lot of effort to make the dishes taste great."

"Quaint little cafe with an open kitchen, which provides the promise of a wholesome meal. Food was pretty good, well presented and plenty of flavour. I don’t rate the garlic bread. Bread was really good but the garlic was terribly bitter. Service was attentive but slow. Seemed like the takeaways were prioritised as our meals took a long time to come, 36 minutes for pasta is a long wait with few patrons. We did however enjoy the entertaining car parking chaos through the huge glass window while watching a precession of takeaway meals walk out the door. Overall a satisfying feed."

"Awesome little casual place in Aldgate. Super fresh and tasty Italian. Simple menu, primarily pasta with some starters and salads. Everyone loves their pastas, ragu, sister, puttanesca, vodka, and chicken salad. The starters are amazing too. Ash the chef and owner does an amazing job. Check it out!!"
