Great experience. Small intimate setting. Large portions. Our waitress warned us when we were attempting to put to many apps in. 6 people split 2 apps. Everyone took leftovers home. Great wine selection as well read more

I was expecting to be blown away considering all the amazing things I have heard about spaghetti lane.. here's why I just couldn't give 5 stars.. We had a reservation for 5pm.. we arrived around 440.. to find out we couldn't sit in the "restaurant side" meanwhile there were vacant tables. We asked politely if we could just stay in that room considering it was our first time there, we were clearly for our res and didn't plan staying too long (just a quick early dinner) .. we were told no and next time to "request" that room.. oh well.. so we sat in the "cafe".. definitely not the vibe we wanted for our dinner but we still had high hopes.. it was awkward- people in and out.. standing around us getting coffee/pastries etc while we are "having dinner" however, our waitress was great, very polite, knowledgeable about their menu.. the food wasn't anything special but it was delicious!! I really wanted to LOVE this place so I will be coming back to give it another shot! read more

Hidden gem on the East Bay. Guaranteed you will be satisfied. I've been here multiple times and the food has been outstanding every time. The spaghetti is thick and they cook all of their pasta a perfect al dente. The sauce is creamy and flavorful. The food came out quick but not to quick. The wait staff was very friendly every time I've been there. The menu is limited but you'll find something you like. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great meal. read more

Spaghetti Lane - Chicken Parmesan with vodka sauce - Italian Near Me - Barrington, Rhode Island

Had high expectations for this place and it still managed to exceed our expectations! We had such an amazing lunch here with amazing service - one of the chefs even came out and shared the specials with us. The restaurant is very small, so definitely recommend making reservations especially for dinner. Food was extremely fresh and portions were big! Loved how they had olive oil, red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese set up at the table. Will definitely be back here soon! read more

Wow, this place was absolutely amazing for a cozy Italian family meal. The place is spilt into two adjacent suites. One was perfect for a night date night, the other a more casual cafe, which worked well for our toddler. Service was great, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. As for the food, we were brought a couple of white bread loafs, with extra virgin olive oil waiting on the table for us. Then we ordered the fried Mozzarella and the evening special salad. The salad was well put together with a generous amount of protein and fruit . The dinner portion sizes are HUGE. And I really enjoyed the pink Vodka sauce. For dessert, I ordered a key lime tart which was amazing. I'd highly recommend stopping by with the family, or dropping in for a quick treat from their cafe. read more

It's telling that the drive to this diner was an experience in and of itself. Soaring through the streets of Warren and Swansea, flanked by woods and water, were just the beginning of a magical experience. Then came the destination: at first, I doubted myself because I thought I was just looking at a bakery. When I pulled into the parking lot and opened the front door, I finally began to understand what "hole-in-the-wall" truly meant. Not only was the family ownership and honest-to-goodness service in place the minute I entered, but the sampling of lightly-seasoned bread with olive oil was the definitive way to begin dinner. When I came here last weekend with my stepbrother and his gf, I had finished a workout earlier that day, so the idea of a chicken parm dished mixed with bolognese sauce sounded killer; all of us had ordered that exact dish! Boy, was my hunch trustworthy. A comforting mix of seasonings, a breading with a well-done crispness around the edges, and a quality of meat that felt wholesome without being overbearing were the elements that comprised a hearty serving of cheese-stuffed ravioli. The following Saturday, my mother and stepfather were more than happy to reserve seating (when you're a small restaurant with a penchant for legendary cooking, even the weekdays are bound to be packed). While my mother gorged on a plain chicken parm and my old man was enthused with his seafood platter, I dove into creamy pink vodka sauce and smoky sweet Italian sausage. The bacon-y flavor of the sausage complemented the sharp cheesiness of the broth, culminating in a spectacle of flavors that never stopped short of excellence. While the Nutella-filled egg dessert I had on the first day was nice, I was told that most of the offerings provided in the bakery were crafted by a Boston-based confectioner. What was homemade, however, was a fruity pie carefully designed and baked by the proprietor's wife. The crostata, as it was called, tasted just as scrumptious as the description of apples and raspberries and gooey gelato that I had been provided. One of the reasons I support small is because there's no conglomerate overreach to corrupt the flavors a competitive small-town scene can offer, which Spaghetti Lane perfectly embodied. When Mike the founder had been so uplifted by vocal enthusiasm for his business, he was generous to provide me with a Spaghetti Lane-branded shirt. I told him he truly did not have to offer such a generous gift, but I thanked him nonetheless afterward. I must also point out the ambience of the restaurant. The place was comprised of two dining rooms: one of which leaned into the elegance of Italian spirits stacked neatly on shelves and the hypersonic drift of Italo Disco filling the air, the other was a contemporary-style cafe setting with a dessert cashier and a giant cabinet lined with cannoli, cheesecake, and whoopie pies. For some reason, my soul lit up when I heard the Umberto Tozzi version of "Gloria" as I was chomping on my penne. Now that's a vibe. That's my TED Talk. Thank you, everyone! read more

First visit to Spaghetti Lane and I almost drove past it! It's unassuming and tucked away but well worth the visit. We met my parents for lunch in the area with the dessert case, wine bar and coffee bar. There were a few tables, a huge dessert case and so much wine! It's so cute in that area and completely different from the other area that is dark and perfect for an intimate dinner. I always order specials when they sound good as you never know when you will be ably to try them again. I started with the conch salad, which was gigantic. My parents both had garden salads that were also huge. They took half of them home! My mother and father had the caprese sandwich, my wife had the Italian grinder and I had the chicken cutlets special with tomato, mozzarella and pesto mayo. All the sandwiches were enough for two servings and served on the most amazing bread! I'd like to go back and try the rest of the lunch menu. All the pastry is from Modern in the North End with the exception of a shelf of baked goods that the owners wife makes. The cannoli was GREAT! We took home a magic bar, a brownie and Reese's cookies. All baked by the owners wife and all fantastic! We had so much left over food that we had two bags for us and one for my parents to carry out! Our server was also great. He said he normally works the kitchen and you would have never known that he wasn't a server as he was so attentive. We will be going back for dinner in December. This place is definitely going to be part of our normal rotation. read more

Another delicious lunch today! One of the specials on the menu was chicken Melanzane. That was my choice and I can tell you it was over the top! Usually I've had it with only arugula and dressing . Not here it was served with cherry tomatoes, slices of parmigiana and a tasty dressing! The chicken parm with spaghetti for the hub. A must go to when you're in the Barrington area. You'll love Casey she's an awesome server and you feel like you're part of the family! It's a cute cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. There's also the dinner dining area attached to the cafe . It's a must try you won't leave hungry! read more

O.M.G SOOOO GOOD!! Made reservations for the restaurant side (highly recommend it was busy) it's such a cute place, feels like you're in Nonnas kitchen. The salad portions are huge, we split between the 2 of us! The entrees... huge and soooo good! It's hard to find good Italian around here and this place NAILS it! You cannot go wrong with anything here. Absolutely recommend coming - we drive 45min just to get quality authentic Italian and I'll do it again and again. read more

We went back and didn't heed the advice to make a reservation but...all was not lost. We were able to be seated and enjoyed a lovely dinner We started with a small salad (large enough to share between two people). I opted for the bolognese with penne - delicious. We sat on the cafe side which has pleasant vibe. I'm looking forward to going back with friends. We'll plan better and make a reservation read more

Difinately worth the hour drive to Barrington RI! The food and service by Casey were outstanding and I look forward to going back. Make reservations as the place is not big at all. Casey the waiteress was so genuinely nice. We started off with some appetizers; 3 meatballs with Ricotta which were delicious and the Zucchini Flower Appetizer which my wife and niece truly enjoyed. My niece and I shared a garden salad.... and thankful for Casey to suggest we could share one iinstead of ordering one each. The salad was huge and I loved the Italian dressing. Dinner portions are also huge!! We each brought take home boxes. My wife had the Lemon Mascarpone Pasta which she enjoyed and I also loved... actually might get it with some chicken. My niece ordered the Scallop Shrimp Truffle Ravioli special which she very much enjoyed. Myself and my niece's husband ordered the Chicken Parm which was very good and both of us had lots to bring home. For dessert I had a wonderful Carrot Cake and everyone else ordered the cannoli's. Overall a wonderful experience. Already making plans to take my sister for her May Birthday gift. Great vibe! Highly recommend!! read more

Food, Service, Atmosphere. Great classic Italian dishes, hefty portions, attentive service, reasonably priced. Great desserts!

Had dinner there on Saturday night with another couple. The pasta was delicious; I had the special that night which was a cutlet on top of cheese ravioli with Bolognese sauce. It was to die for! All 4 of us loved our meals. None of us managed to finish our meals there was so much food! The waitress was fabulous; after dinner she walked us over the the café and we picked desserts that were also top-notch. Great place; can't wait to go back! read more

Such a special place. Portion sizes are great and we've never had a bad meal! Make sure to order the fried mozzarella if it's on special

I came here for the first time with my wife and in-laws after seeing that the Prov Journal listed it as number one in Italian restaurants in Rhode Island. That's a tough thing to live up to in RI. It's almost unfair to raise the expectation that high. I would say they don't qualify for that title based solely on the fact that they don't use fresh pasta (which is why they got 4 instead of 5 stars from me-I would have gone 4.5 if that was an option). Other than that, everything was excellent. We ordered a bottle of their house Chianti ($29) that was very good. No full bar (I would have liked a Manhattan, but it's not a deal breaker). We started with the appetizer special, an order of squash flowers for the table. They were crispy, light and delicious. My wife said they were the best she'd ever had. They came on top of their red sauce, so we got a preview of that. The sauce was spot on. My in-laws both got the veal parm. It was flawless. Super crispy, a perfect amount of sauce and cheese, served on top of pasta, they choose spaghetti. My wife got the scallop penne special with mushrooms in a (possibly truffle) cream sauce. She loved it. I got the veal/eggplant parm. Like the veal parm, it was great. Everything arrived hot. The service was perfect. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Even if we hadn't split the squash flowers, I doubt anyone would have been able to finish their entree; the servings were huge, so huge, in fact, that none of us had room for dessert. Next time. And there WILL be a next time. From the Yelp pics, it looked like you ate in the cafe (display cases, etc), which was the reason we hadn't eaten there sooner, we were looking for a date night vibe and the Yelp pics only showed the cafe side, but there's also a restaurant space that's open Tuesday - Saturday from 3 pm - 9 pm. This information is on their website, so it's my own fault for not digging a little deeper. It was a bit chilly near the window but bearable. Best Italian Restaurant in RI? Maybe, for some. Awesome Italian restaurant worth trying? Definitely. read more

Spaghetti Lane - I had cheese lasagna after I had an antipasto and my friend had eggplant Parmesan after how salad. Everything we had was so delicious. - Italian Near Me - Barrington, Rhode Island

The coffees are amazing. The food is incredible and most of all the service is friendly and impeccable.

I tried one dish from here for the first time ever over the holidays and it was so good everyone was raving about it. The house I was at had ordered an exceptional amount of chicken parmesan from here and everyone was blown away by how large the portions were and how great they tasted. They were so big that we were able to cut them in half and still that was more than enough. Sometimes when you have a favorite food that you get from a specific spot or someone makes it for you it's very hard to compare, but this chicken parm was so so yummy. I can't attest to anything else from this spot since this was the only dish I have tried from here, but I definitely would recommend ordering this & I will for sure be stopping by here to try some other things out. read more

Family owned in the best way possible. There are regulars they know by name, and everyone working there seems very close. There are two different rooms with very different vibes - but they're both good. One room has more of a traditional Italian restaurant feel, while the other is a bit lighter and airy (and also has some pretty damn good pastries). Most importantly - it had the best spaghetti dishes me or the other person I was eating with ever had. I'm still thinking about the chicken parm Literally a place pretty close to being a perfect restaurant. If you are looking for spaghetti (or even if you're not tbh) go here! read more

The first time I ate here it was the best spaghetti meatballs I've ever had. The sauce was out of this world the last two times I've ordered this. The sauce was no more special than once you could buy off the shelf, which is why I went back a second time because the first time it was so good But I guess they've changed the recipe or they have a new chef. I don't know. It's absolutely terrible. The meatballs are nothing special. Really sad to see a great restaurant lose quality. read more

This is a great little spot for great Italian food! It is two separate areas, one side is the restaurant, the other is pastries and gelato. You can order food on that side, and they will bring it to you. There is a nice patio for dining. The restaurant is small; reservations highly suggested. We went early, so we were fine, but it got very busy. The takeout was incredible! Casey, our server, was awesome. I grew up with the family - we lived on the same street - and there were many people I knew coming and going. Mike, who is the owner, was doing the cooking. I had eggplant Parm, without the Provolone cheese (lol), which came with a side of pasta. My mom was my dinner companion tonight, and she had penne with pink vodka sauce with sausage. There was so much food on our plates, we could both make 2 more meals. All of the food coming from the kitchen looked amazing! The dessert was also to die for. Mike sent over a piece of ricotta cheesecake with swirls of chocolate. To. Die. For. I asked Casey if they were made in house. She was honest and said sometimes. Other times, they come from Mike's Pastry in Boston. There were also specials offered besides the regular menu. They do have a liquor license. Like I said, you definitely need a reservation. It was busy on a Thursday night!!! Parking lot is small, and there are other businesses in the small "strip mall". There are businesses across the street where I suppose you could park. I am looking forward to coming here again, and soon!!! read more

Went there for dessert. Was a little confused about whether or t it was counter service or if you had to get a table. We ordered at the counter and then sat down to eat, which seemed to be allowed.

I can't believe I did not take any photos of our pasta dishes! We ordered a carbonara meatball and seafood pasta and the portions are big and the sauce was so delicious!

Upon a friend's recommendation I came here twice. The first time was last week when I stopped in for dessert which was a pistachio layer cake and a cup of illy Italian coffee. The dessert was not too sweet and the coffee was dark roast without being bitter. The friendly staff along with the Italian music playing in the background made for an enjoyable experience. With that in mind I return yesterday for lunch. I ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich which did not have enough sauce for my taste. The server cheerfully and quickly brought additional sauce upon my request. The sandwich was okay but once again the dessert was the highlight. The server was very knowledgeable and I ordered the red velvet cake even though she said it this cake was sweeter than other red velvet cakes. Because of her helpful information this dessert did not disappoint. In closing, Spaghetti Lane has two small rooms one a cafe, in the other a restaurant. Both my visits were in the informal Cafe which was enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend this place for dessert and coffee. read more
