The place gets some flack for being Americanized in some reviews but there is a good blend of locals and Americans there. It's great place to experience Italian cuisine without getting overwhelmed and feeling dumb ordering something you are unfamiliar with. It's casual place with casual/upscale vibe. You don't have to be dressed up to be there but you won't be overdressed either. This place is a must stop if you're visiting.

Amongst the restaurants I visited in Aviano, "Spaghetti House" has been my favorite. It is a very…read morewell known, and well loved favorite amongst Americans. Despite what some may say about this being Americanized, I've had far worse in the Aviano area and even elsewhere in Italy. These pastas are fresh, always served al denté. The duck gnocchi is just... perfect. Savory meat sauce, buttery soft gnocchi that melts in your mouth. It's a must try. The three cheese tortellini with prosciutto was an absolute hit when I visited with friends. We tried a little from everybody's plate, and when I couldn't finish my meal, they cleaned the plate! The creamiest sauce by far! Tiramisu was also fantastic! Best I've ever had. Service is always great. Waits are never long. Food is fairly quick.

My son took me and my fame here for dinner. It's a party of 10 people. Our reservation was for 6:30…read morepm, but they accommodate us 30 minutes early. The place is beautifully and tastefully decorated, clean and spacious. This place is know for their pizza & tacos- yes they have tacos to cater to Americans. I ordered the Paella, it was so tasty and has a lot of seafood. Others in my party ordered different pizzas and tacos, we try to share each other's food so we can have a taste of different dishes. The fish tacos is something that I highly recommend and the paella. Of course since we are in Italy, you cannot go wrong ordering a pizza. The wait to be served was not very long, the wait staff took our drink orders right away, and served them to us promptly. While in Italy restaurant, if you are not picky on your wine always order the house wine, it's a lot cheaper.

ostrich steak and the best salsiccia e patate pizza I've had. (update: hearing rumors the ostrich…read moresteaks are no longer being offered. get the pizza!!) I haven't had salsiccia e patate all over Italy, but this one is dang tasty. Like, I think about its flavors sometimes. The pizza alone draws the fifth star for me, for its simple perfection. I'm sure they have other tasty options on their huge menu, but these are the ones I particularly enjoy. Other notes: the restaurant is fairly giant, so it'll accommodate large parties well. Cial de Brent is attached. I've heard rumors the small bar can get rowdy at night, but haven't seen with my own [blurry] eyes.

Service is so kind and friendly and they speak English which is really nice if you're still learning Italian. The food here is pretty good and flavorful. I ordered the chicken and sides and was happy each time. Chicken has nice crispy skin and inside the meat is well made. The dessert is my favorite here, the tiramisu is homemade and I loveeeeee the texture and fluffiness of the dish itself. I can honestly eat 2 of these in one sitting! Parking lot is a bit small but if you come during lunch, it isn't as bad to find parking. Overall, good place with good food and a lot of options. I recommend trying it out and seeing how you like it!
