Very friendly people great service and very fast on food to be served one of the best Italians around don't no how people can score a 2 or 3 little snobs 5 star all the way if you haven't tryed this place I'd 100% recommend you to lovely food
Located up a staircase, atmosphere was cozy. Ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer, the bread was a bit soggy and there were a lot of large slices of red onion, would have preferred these to be thinly sliced, they over powered the dish. For main dish, ordered the tortellini with ricotta and spinach. This dish came out hot and was delicious, made up for the soggy app. Overall was a delightful meal
Good food in big portions, worth the money. We ordered the pesto penne, which was not too bad; the mushroom risotto was brilliant, the garlic bread and pizza were delicious, and the calamari was nice too. The three of us couldn’t finish all the food and brought a few takeaway boxes home after the meal—a great restaurant for lunch.
Fantasy find. A very popular restaurant amongst locals and students. You can't book so be prepared to queue but it is worth it. I had gnocchi great portion size and delicious.
Very authentic place, with fantastic and very friendly staff who dare I say have a very old manner about them which in this day and age I found delightful 😊 the food was just out of this world and to say authentic Italian would be an understatement 😀 it was a little bit rowdy but that was to be expected on a Saturday but I would absolutely recommend and will definitely, absolutely be dining there many many more times
Such a lovely restaurant following a recommendation to visit! We were on our way back south after a visit to Newcastle and after having never been to Durham either, we thought we’d have a brief evening visit. We got to the restaurant and were promptly welcomed by one of the very polite staff members; we were so lucky to have got a table when we did as there was a queue to go in when we were leaving. The food is so fresh and the prices are great!
The only slight issue (hence only 4* for food) was that there was no plant-based dessert. However, being a traditional Italian, there were still plenty of vegetarian options.
Overall, 10/10 we would recommend this restaurant to anyone if visiting the area and we hope to return one day during another visit to the beautiful city!
This was the best Italian food I have ever had!! We shared many variety of dishes and all were absolutely authentically delicious! The personal service we had was unforgettable. It was the best dining experience we had on our tour of the UK. I cannot wait to travel to to Durham again. I will certainly be visiting La Spaghetta.
Amazing atmosphere (perfect for a date night) and very friendly staff. It's very popular among students here due to reasonable prices and authentic Italian food. Every pasta dish I've tried here was amazing and I would highly recommend the penne alla vodka. The only mediocre thing I've ordered was the spaghetti pizza but I guess I was just being too adventurous.
Absolutely first class. Three of us ate lunch there yesterday. Excellent food, great service, fair prices. Will be returning.
Great, authentic atmosphere. Busy but speedy service but doesn't feel rushed. Food was excellent.
Amazing and authentic Italian cuisine!
if you want pasta this is definitely a place to go 👌🏼 it’s a charming little restaurant in the heart of Durham. They serve massive portions of pasta and alcohol for good value. Servers are super nice and friendly.
Visited with my daughter for lunch. Food was very nice and the staff were all very friendly. Been here before and will definitely be returning.
staff were incredibly lovely. I came in rather tipsy last night and they were just lovely when we had to ask to take the food away instead, even gave me extra mints incase I needed them, haha. just all around lovely genuine people. only tried a tiny bit of the food and what I had was lovely. everything smelled lush too!

The food was incredibly amazing: big portions and amazing flavours. The staff very lovely (I should to highlight the guy who served our table, he was very nice with us, honest and friendly. He really made our day 💕).
I will definitely come back💓🍝
Been here twice and really enjoyed it both times. Delicious food and lovely staff. A fabulous hidden gem in Durham.
