It feels like visiting family for a wonderful home-cooked meal. Every dish is prepared with care and absolutely delicious. The tiramisu was exceptional.

This place really lived up to the hype - all the food was fantastic esp the ricotta crostina, meatballs, rigatoni, and the rice balls, but everything was above average. Additionally service was great, and very lively fun atmosphere, plus it was really warm given how cold its been recently. All and all i think its a great place to take a group of 8 or more for reasonably priced italian food that has above average taste. I will definitely be back.

In an era where dining can feel performative or fleeting, Cafe Spaghetti stands as a sturdy, butter-rich counter-argument. It provides an authentic, unpretentious answer to a fundamental human question: What is the highest good of comfort food? The answer is served nightly at 126 Union Street.

The staff is very friendly and helpful but the good is basic and expensive. I ordered the chicken Milanese which was basically a deep fried flat chicken cutlet that lacked flavor with some arugula on top for just under $30.

Such a great spot! The pasta with crab was a 10/10 and the host is so sweet!

Food was flavorful and fresh! Really enjoyed the squash ricotta gnocchi, rigatoni vodka, brussel sprouts, ricotta crostini. The tiramisu was an A- (very good and would order again but not the best ever).
The restaurant has an enclosed heated space in the back which is very warm and comfortable in the winter (and decorated beautifully with holiday lights and a tree). They have high chairs available and are very patient and friendly toward children.
Would absolutely return!

This place is winning... the pasta and cocktails here are amazing, and the place feels like it's been around for 40 years.

Cafe Spaghetti sits on the other side of the BQE, in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, and it’s absolutely worth the trip. Chef Sal Lamboglia puts out excellent dishes — you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
But if you’re only going once, the eggplant parmigiana and the tiramisu are absolute must-tries.
A charming neighborhood gem with standout Italian comfort classics.

The service was good!!!!
The hostess was nice and the waitresses were very attentive.
I had the garlic twists which was fresh and hot. And the tiramisu was really good and greatly portioned.
The only downside to me was for the price of the casarecce( crab pasta) , it felt a little underwhelming. Not really up there in terms of seasoning and flavor as well.

Great food, a warm atmosphere, and genuinely attentive service. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel taken care of. Mike, the bartender, is fantastic, friendly, welcoming, and always looking out for his guests. Definitely a spot I look forward to coming back to.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception here...best decision we made, and honestly, the most important in our opinion. We wanted to be comfortable, stay local, and share an outstanding meal with our guests. The CS team was warm and attentive from the minute we met with Gio in 2025, until the day after the 2026 wedding, when we picked up reception materials with Juan. Go get yourself some pasta and wine asap!!! These guys are truly the best.

We had a large party and this prefix menu did not have enough appetizers for the party. The service was disappointing. Had to wait and look for our waitress multiple times. The food was good

We just had a beautiful party at Cafe Spaghetti. It was a 70th birthday with about 75 guests. Giovanna was so helpful, normal, kind, can-do and easy going. I got the sense that they have done this a lot before and nothing, I mean nothing was stressful. I brought some flowers for the small vases that they supply. The tables were arranged beautifully, it was a very rainy night and they made a big effort to keep the stairs dry so everyone was safe. They had a great playlist. The staff could not have been nicer or more pleasant. The food there is great, our guests keep raving about the dishes. Quantities were plentiful. I made cookies that they served in individual bowls with gelato. It was just a very warm and relaxed and natural party. If that is something you are looking for you will not be disappointed. Highly highly recommend Cafe Spaghetti for an event.

Truly excellent Italian fare! Enjoy the fine restaurant if you happen to be in Brooklyn! I shared a wonderful dinner with my son and sampled several of their specials... all were fresh, flavorful and tasty. We will return for another meal.
