Spaggi's

"This restaurant is, by far, the worst Italian restaurant I've experienced in LA. During my two-month stay in Upland with my family, we visited a few Italian restaurants around Claremont. All three Italian restaurants we tried were fairly good. However, Spaggi's was seriously disappointing for several reasons: I made a reservation through OpenTable and arrived on time, but our table wasn't ready. They seated a walk-in guest before us. We waited approximately 10-15 minutes, leaving me wondering about the point of making a reservation. For starters, they delivered the wrong dishes to our table, which I believe was a salad. I had a bite of the bacon before calling the waitress. They took away the wrong dish and then delivered it to the table next to us. This is unacceptable. If a dish is delivered to the wrong table, it should not be served to another customer without being remade. The soup of the day was excessively salty. I uploaded a picture of the soup; I've never seen a chef chop green onions like this. It makes me question if the chef did this as a deliberate presentation choice. My partner ordered lobster and beef steak. The lobster was edible, albeit overcooked. The beef steak, however, was overly salted - it felt as though the restaurant must have a direct supply from a salt company to avoid bankruptcy. I am astonished to see other reviews stating that this restaurant is worth an hour's drive. In my experience, this restaurant is the WORST Italian establishment I've had in LA."

"My husband brought me here to celebrate our 16th anniversary. First of all, when you enter the restaurant is is beautifully decorated with the wonderful paintings. The lighting is dimmed which I liked. It was very romantic. Our server was just awesome with her suggestions and being thorough with explaining the appetizer options. She was also very helpful with explaining the menu details to us. My husband tried the spaghetti and I the shrimp limone. The sauce for the spaghetti was tasty and had good flavor. I kept on tasting a hint of orange but I might be wrong. However, it was good . I really didn’t like my shrimp scampi limone because the sauce didn’t really taste like lemon. The shrimp tasted good. The server was so sweet to make me a special non-alcoholic drink and I loved it. Overall, my hubby and I will be going back to taste more of the menu items. We love Italian food. My mamas side of the family are from Sardinia so we know good tasting homemade Italian food .The server even brought my hubby and I a little anniversary treat. That was so thoughtful. Will be coming again with the family and friends. Thank you for a really nice experience"

"Small charming little Italian restaurant. Service was attentive and food was excellent. Get the upside down pineapple cake for dessert"

"Food and service are good. Cozy restaurant. Definitely recommend to go although they only open Thur thru Sun. We liked the warm bread with home made sauce. We had Calamari, Scampi Al Limone, Signature beef shot ribs and the today's special pasta."
