One of my friend recommended this restaurant and a friend of mine and I headed to Spagnoulo's on Friday night. \r
\r
Quality of food (bread): As you arrive at the table, they will serve you some focaccia. The focaccia was pretty good - soft and chunky. I prefer to have more rosemary on top but it was very tasty. The bread is topped with some salt a well. \r
\r
Quality of food (salad): We ordered antipasto salad. It was acceptable. It had enough olives but the amount of meat was too much. We rather felt like eating meat, instead of salad. I would have enjoyed it if the lettuce was not dried. It lacked the freshness greatly. \r

\r
Quality of food (pasta): Pasta was far from acceptable. Pasta is not warm enough, not al dente. I believe they just boil tons of pasta and leave them, then mix with sauce after the order. Pasta turned out to be too soft, far from al dente. I ordered puttanesca but the sauce was pretty untasty as well. They just mixed the ingredients. Garlic was not roasted enough and they left chunk of garlic in the pasta. I think they did not consider how much having garlic as itself in the sauce can cause the unbalanced taste. I was shocked that they could serve such pasta in a restaurant. It was almost similar to some low quality high quantity pasta serevd at university cafeteria. \r
\r
Service: Service was good. We were promptly guided to the table. However, the waiter who served us forgot to bring a place to share a salad. \r
\r
Overall: Overall, we were very disappointed. If you love tastiful things, I do not recommend.
Pros: Atmosphere
Cons: Quality of food.
