Welcome to
La Spaghettata

Durham's longest-running independent Italian restaurant, La Spaghettata has been delighting diners with authentic Italian cuisine since 1996. We've built our reputation on serving delicious, authentic Italian dishes at reasonable prices.

We're proud to be recognized by renowned restaurateur Oisin Rogers, owner of The Devonshire in London's Soho, who featured La Spaghettata in his Times article as one of the top 50 restaurants outside of London.

Our Food

We take pride in transforming locally sourced ingredients into exceptional Italian dishes using traditional cooking methods. Our extensive menu features:

Table Bookings

We're primarily a first-come-first-serve restaurant, but we do keep a few tables aside each evening for groups of 10 or more.

We're a bit old school and only take these bookings over the phone - give us a ring on 0191 383 9290 and we can have a proper chat! (Sorry, no emails!)

Get in touch.

For general inquiries, please contact us via email or call us at 0191 383 9290.
For party reservations of 10 or more guests, please book directly by phone. We look forward to serving you.
