Spaghetti Junction in Derry

Amazing experience definitely recommend

Perfect dinner spot for our first night in Derry. We tried the pizza, and it was delicious. The service was outstanding, and the environment was very inviting. The women's restroom was maintained clean and has a changing table for those who have a baby.

calm atmosphere on a week day music not too loud just nice, lovely italian custom and customer service, i speak some italian so lovely to engage with staff there, food was amazing, worth coming to!! will recommend and will be back😍

Absolutely loved this place. The food was really delicious and flavoursome. The decor is fantastic and adds to the lovely, friendly ambience. Some nice vegetarian options, which are clearly marked and a great choice of deserts. Great service, food, and atmosphere...5 stars for everything. We'll definitely be back when we're visiting Derry

Worth a return visit. The meal I had was delicious from the first bite to the last. I had visited here without booking one night and found the restaurant fully booked. I was invited to try again the following evening and arrive earlier (the restaurant opens at 5pm). I did and even at 5.30pm there was a busy buzz about the place with early Saturday evening diners. I had the panzerotti with tomato sauce and it was rich and tasty, the real deal. Judging by the number of phone calls (I was sitting near the front desk), it seems that Spaghetti Junction is a popular place, and for good reason. Efficient, attentive staff made for a very enjoyable visit.

Another fabulous night at SJ.. my favourite restaurant.. food was excellent (party of 7). As usual, Walter and Max entertained us and were very attentive as were all the other staff and not leaving out the gorgeous Aoife who’s singing was amazing and now has added Dean Martin to her repertoire 😜.. thanks again and looking forward to my next visit in a few weeks xx

I had been an avid fan of SJ for the almost 10 years it has been open now. You cannot fault it, from food to atmosphere. It is one of the main key points of Derry that infuses Italy in the heart of our city. Fresh Italian food at the end of your street, as well as tasty cocktails that you cannot find at other establishments. Its weekend entertainment is sensational. It’s hard to name another place in town that provides all of the above in one night of dining, along with the wonderful, this is what makes this place stand out. It is obvious why you need to book in advance for weekend availability as it is not to be missed. It is extremely clean, with attentive staff and an atmosphere that transports you to Italy. The food is delicious and can only be compared to a taste of Italy. We love this place and can’t wait to get back in again soon 🇮🇹

Fantastic evening had by all. We went to celebrate our child’s confirmation. The flavours of the food were amazing. The staff made us feel so welcome and were very accommodating to all our needs. The restaurant is super cute and we felt like we were in Italy. We have family visiting us this year and we can not wait to take them to spaghetti junction. We have our table booked already. 😃🍕🍝

Having heard and read so many good reports about Spaghetti Junction I arranged a family dinner there. Unfortunately despite a busy restaurant at 5pm giving the impression we would have a good experience it wasn’t to be. On arrival we learned that our group were split into two, a space between us left for the entertainment who wasn’t arriving until at least an hour after we had to vacate our tables. Despite asking they claimed they could not sit us closer. We were then served plates of food three times that were not ours. The portions were good but a lot of the food was over salted. My nephew found a piece of plastic in his dessert, from an ice-cream carton, bought in icecream, aren’t the Italians famous for their galeto! I had paid a significant deposit which was not subtracted from the £500+ bill until I pointed out their error. On a positive note the children’s icecream charge and I believe £30 was deducted from the bill, but it wasn’t enough to ensure any of the 22 people would return again. My final point is how cold the building was, I looked and couldn’t see any radiators, yes they had a couple of heater fans which by the time we got there were strategically positioned towards other tables, and if those diners repositioned the heaters I don’t blame them one bit as it was baltic inside. Would I go back, maybe if I wanted a pizza on a summer evening.

Friendly staff and romantic atmosphere for Valentine’s Day! Lovely decorated tables and lovely food! Would recommend for a date night out with your partner

Greatest Italian food in Derry!

A great spot in Derry. Doesn't look it from the outside but it is and the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and 4 of us had a lovely evening.

Amazing food and even better Service!

Brilliant night out with friends. Food amazing staff very warm and welcoming, entertainment was on another level, always a great night out at Spaghetti Junction highly recommended.

This is the best restaurant in Derry. Attention to detail and service was excellent, food is phenomenal

What a fab place! I was there as part of a group of 12. The food was delicious, the music brilliant, Bruno was singing, and the atmosphere fantastic. The staff are brilliant from explaining the items on the menu to recommendations on what to try. I will definitely go again.

Good atmosphere, friendly service. Food is decent and fairly authentic Italian fare, though the portions are on the large side. Probably the best mid-priced Italian option in Derry. Came back after a long time away and it's still good, though my panna cotta was much thicker than I'm used to and I didn't finish it. Would still recommend for other dishes and service.

Rang up at short notice on the off chance of table The owner fitted us in no problem Very busy when we arrived, sat us down to our table immediately, nice decor. Ordered pizzas, very authentic and we found out the owner is from genova, so a proper pizza. A bottle of white sicilian wine from Menfi, very nice! So £100 for 3 of us inc a starter to share and a bottle of wine Decent effort from this restaurant, I highly recommend it

Amazing. First time i’ve ever seen my boyfriend finish a meal and enjoy it. 10/10 recommend

Family night out before Christmas. All meals served hot and in timely fashion. All around table enjoyed all the food. Very nice welcome from staff(owner) and service throughout the evening. Sadly we could not stay for the entertainment but what we did see was enjoyable.

Came here with family as a pre-christmas celebration. Well decorated and lovely atmosphere. The food was delicious, and good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful, and very attentive throughout the night! Would definitely recommend!

We had our Christmas night out with friends, great service and food plus great nights entertainment. A very pleasant experience with great company in a lovely environment, can’t wait to our next night out there

Beautiful Meal, service and entertainment in a friendly atmosphere

First visit to Spaghetti Junction with a friend for my birthday meal Very friendly and welcoming service from the moment we arrived.. Tasty food Generous portions Nice menu selection I asked for an authentic Italian carbonara (as I don’t like cream sauce) so they offered to make it Italian style and it was delicious! I’ll definitely be back and would recommend!

If we could give 10 stars we would! Authentic Italian restaurant in a great spot. Would recommend.

Excellent food. Some of the best Italian dishes I've ever had. Experience a little dampened however when they asked to bring us dessert menus (we said "yes"), failed to do so, and then when we had to actively call out just to get their attention and pay the bill (after a very long wait). But would go back should we be in Derry again.

Excellent quality of service and friendly staff plenty of variety of choices of food and beverage. I called in without a reservation, and the staff was extremely welcoming and getting me a table. I admired decorating of the entire restaurant open planned child friendly and decor on the walls made you feel like you were in Italy or Greece. Food delicious served on platters very authentic. I suffer from my mental health and emotional well-being issues and mobility issues when sometimes I would be housebound throughout the year. I was in the area for the 43rd anniversary of the Hunger Strikers yearly March starting at Free Derry Corner around various areas of the town finished at The Gas Yard Centre to hear public speakers. When leaving to go home, I had heard of this establishment that prompted me to go inside for something to eat. I would highly recommend this restaurant to other individuals who have not yet tried, especially to tourists staying in the town.

Fantastic food, great service! Looking forward to coming back!

Love this restaurant. Started going a while back and have been back every week since. Have tried various things off the menu and loved them all. Kids eat off main menu but a kids portion which is great. Service is always really good and staff very friendly.

Great Food, Great Service. Would recommend. The pepperoni pizza was delicious.

We booked a table for 3vand we're seated straight away , it has such a friendly atmosphere that you instantly relax , drinks ordered , I had a bottle of wine , a bit pricey at £25 , but it was a thank you night out , the others had cocktails and said they were delicious . Food served promptly and the smell and flavours were amazing . Staff were lively and I could listen to the owners Italian accent all night 😅 A pricey night out but we'll worth it for a treat

What an amazing experience, from the friendly staff who greeted us and led us to our table, to the waiter whobrecommened our amazing food and the lovely young waitresses who kept our drinks flowing and to the wonderfully talented Bruno who has one of the most amazing voices. What a night. Def worth a visit

28th sept Table 2 at 5pm booking, Great tasty food, beautiful wine, fabulous desserts, well worth a visit before going to show in forum Definitely will be back, lovely atmosphere

Seriously good gluten free pizza. They can also make the pastas GF. And also just to mention the great atmosphere, pleasant staff, fun decor and fun live music.

Ignore the exterior and name if thats putting you off, the food is great and the service is top. I had maybe the best carbonara of my life here.

Food was really good, as was the service. Decor was a bit tacky, but who cares?! Some people will love it.

We went to Spaghetti Junction tonight for my daughters 18th birthday. Walter and Massimo and all the staff were absolutely amazing and gave my daughter such a special evening. The food and wine were absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for everything this evening. Would highly recommend Spaghetti Junction it's 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thanks from the Dunnes

Fabulous food and warm hospitality by all the staff. So happy with the delicious cuisine and great price for 4 persons including drinks, entrees, mains and dessert. Fully recommend. Loved the Italian decor

Ottimo ristorante realmente italiano nel centro di Derry,propone pizza e piatti tradizionali nostrani. Accoglienza calorosa,consigliato a chi passa da queste parti

Visited with friends on Sunday evening, meal was top class, and staff were great, well worth a visit, had the meat feast, and it was a feast.

What a great wee restaurant. Lovely cosy atmosphere. Food was exceptional, lovely wine, friendly service and great value for money. Gluten free pasta available and was the best I've ever tasted. All in all they couldn't do enough for us. Memorable night

This seems to be the best Italian in the city - and can corroborate this. We enjoyed our meal. Would be regulars if lived locally!

Interesting place to see. Very tasty food and good quantity at a very good price The owner is very nice

Had a very enjoyable meal last night Lovely setting, food was delicious , staff were attentive and service was excellent Food was reasonably priced Will def be back

First time dining here. Will definitely be back. Food amazing and lovely staff.

Delicious pizzas, with a wide variety on the menu and with lots of cheese (which is hard to find in the north). The service was very attentive and what's more, it's nice to be able to speak a Romance language when you're so far from the Mediterranean.

Pasta and pizza absolutely brilliant !!!

Very friendly, slick service, authentic Italian. Unpretentious and easy access from our hotel and town centre. Reasonably priced pizza and pasta. Would definitely recommend for families and couples.

We go here very often and the food never disappoints. Friendly staff and child friendly which is a bonus and it is also ideal for a weekend as they have entertainment on

Spaghetti Junction is one of the best restaurants I have been to. We go as a family frequently and the team actually accommodated our wedding dinner there. The staff go above and beyond on all occasions, the service is excellent and the food is second to none. I would highly recommend here for an authentic Italian dining experience. 10/10 every time

A top meal like every visit. We will return on our next excursion to Londonderry/Derry.

Nice place for Italian food. Good atmosphere.

The atmosphere is very nice and feels like your away on holiday. The pizza was very authentic and Italian with a nice crispy Crust and base and homemade sauce.The staff were very nice and I will definitely be back.

It's more than going for a meal it's an experience and if I could give it a sixth star the SJ would win it hands down.

Best gluten free pizza I ever had. Great and quick service Lovely atmosphere

My first visit. We went on the Saturday night when Bruno was singing( though he usually sings on Fridays). The food was delicious and the service was excellent. When arriving, the place looked as if it may not have been even opened. Once we stepped inside, it was if we were transported to Italy. One of our party was Italian and he was very impressed with everything. The music took the evening to a new level. Bruno’s versatility was incredible. He had everyone singing along. No song was beyond him. We will be back to experience this lovely place again soon. I can’t recommend it highly enough to those who want to experience quality Italian food, along with excellent musical entertainment.

Dinner was good. 🍝 We were served quickly on a busy night.

This is a very nice place, friendly and helpful !

The staff are wonderful and very helpful. The boss welcomes you very warmly. Listening to the food service and presentations are excellent. The portions are very satisfying. I arrived one day for the music festival, the atmosphere was great and very joyful

Family meal with multiple nationalities, ages and dietary requirements. Delicious food to suit everyone even people on weight loss goals. Amazing fish if the day. Pasta and a tremendous chicken salad which was huge. Absolutely amazing meal and reasonably priced for amazing quality.

I had Classic Italian pizza Thursday night Best part was the atmosphere, live music and all the patrons were having a great time. Staff were great and our host was friendly and attentive.

A surprising little gem. I wouldn’t have tried it if I hadn’t read all of the positive reviews, as it doesn’t look like much from the outside. But the food was good and we enjoyed a leisurely (definitely not fast) dinner. Two pizzas (excellent!) and a caprese salad were enough for the 3 of us. The cannoli was excellent, the panna cotta just ok. Very glad we tried it.

Best Italian restaurant in Derry, check out the specials.

Very pleasant place run by Italians. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the cuisine is of a good standard and the welcome is extraordinarily warm and attentive. Probably the best Italian restaurant in Derry.

An extraordinary place with sunshine in the dishes and the welcome! Tremendous !

An absolutely delicious meal, I am coeliac and was able to have lovely garlic bread and pasta and the lemoncello sorbet was amazing! I will definitely be back!

Went there last night with my 2 daughters. Absolutely lovely setting and decor. However, while we were trying to decide on food the waitress came over 3 times to take our drink order. We were also being very rushed into ordering food. Eventually the owner came quite abruptly over to take our order. My daughter ordered carbonara but it was literally swinging in a bed of oil which was turning her stomach. Myself and my other daughter also has pasta which was just average. I thought the staff were lovely but the owner was rude. Quite pricy too. Will not be returning.

Could not fault this restaurant.we had a great night.Food was Amazing.our party of seven had no complaints.They can't wait to go back.The staff are brilliant.so attentive and entertaining.Bruno what an entertainer.he had us all dancing and singing.made our night so good.hope to be back soon.keep doing what you are doing.

Absolutely fantastic can't wait to go again

We dropped in late on a Wednesday night, not too long before closing.. and Mass was able to accommodate us quickly! The food was amazing! The starters and mains were hot, fresh, and delicious! The service was outstanding as well. We had a phenomenal dessert... the Affogato... which was espresso and ice cream... that was divine! As an added bonus, we really enjoyed talking with the staff... they treat everyone who comes in as family. I loved that it was such a casual atmosphere - it was like a family dinner. What a great experience... we highly recommend you stop in at Spaghetti Junction if you are in Derry!!!

Food tasted OK, I mean you can’t really go wrong with Italian food. The garlic break we had needed a bit of kick like Tabasco sauce but they didn’t have anything like that. My main tasted OK but again they didn’t have any chilli flakes or anything for me to bring out the flavouring. I asked a few times if they had any kind of chilly sauce but they didn’t. I also wanted Parmesan on my pasta but they didn’t have any. So it’s something that couldn’t be fixed for me during my stay. Service from the manager was good but the waiter who served us was a bit clueless. Table decor is from the 80s. Haven’t seen a blue plastic table covering for awhile. Personally it’s pricy for what you get. That’s just my opinion.

We went for dinner this evening (thursday night) and really enjoyed ourselves. From the moment we walked in we were met by the most kindest staff who looked after us brilliantly. You can see the passion the staff have in their work. The food was beautiful. The decor was very unique and made us feel we were in italy ourselves. We will definitely be back when visiting again. Thank you to all the staff, apologies we forgot your names.

Lovely place with great family atmosphere. Amazing food too!

Stunning food and excellent service. Would definitely recommend a visit. Can't wait to go back.

I recommend 100%, kitchen and staff at the top 👍

Once again, a fabulous meal , would highly recommend here for great food , served with a smile and a truly lovely atmosphere . Thanks guys !

Amazing food and amazing service

Had one the nicest vegan pizza's at spaghetti junction. Service was great and pizza was so authentic really recommended.

Decor and Furnishings were a bit off-putting for me personally. I can definitely see what they're aiming to do but for me it just feels a tad tacky. Others may love it though?! The service was very good. Two older gentlemen and two young staff worked the floor the evening we visited on 16th Feb. The young lad was very professional. The food I received was really disappointing unfortunately. Starter of Calamari & Prawns - poor presentation and absolutely zero flavour. Even when covered in salt+pepper it was still terrible. Seafood Linguine had 3 Calamari Rings, literally one prawn and some tiny muscles. The Langoustine was more for decorative purposes it was that small and probably had a thumbnail worth of meat in it. The Pizza ordered was very good and another person had Bolognese which they enjoyed. The Entertainment by 'Bruno' was really enjoyable and definitely made the night. Would I go back based on what I ordered - unfortunately not. It's worth a visit for the Entertainment though.

absolutely amazing experience in here! the food was to die for and the service was great!! the baby potatoes were so nice and the carbonara was genuinely mouth watering . 100% would be back here

The service was exceptional and the food was just as good. Superb food cooked to perfection. Highly recommend especially as places with great service are hard to come by.

Excellent food, fresh ingredients, delicious wine, and wonderful staff. I highly recommend Spaghetti Junction- it also has a lovely ambience and really great live music.

The most marvelous pizza I ve eaten for quite some time. A little bit of Italy

I was very happy with everything until the bill was issued to our table, we were charged for another bottle of wine which we did not receive, the wine he put onto our bill was more expensive than the one we received and when I confronted him about the issue he said sorry it was a mistake. This was his response, I thought the wine was the table beside you, but when I checked the table beside me, it was a completely different wine that was charged to our bill, so then I knew he was trying his luck on us to receive more money, probably because I was slightly tipsy? Who knows. My husband and I always check the bill, because this has happened before to us in other restaurants. So..... I confronted the owner and he said it was a genuine mistake but I said as a business person myself, I know what is correct or not correct, so I said to him that I was very unhappy with this and that it was not a genuine mistake on the restaurant but the restaurant trying to receive extra money and hoping I would not notice, As a business woman myself , I see when people are ready to pay their bill and never check the bill amount, so make this your issue when purchasing any meal or item before you pay. Had a lovely meal but I would not return because of the restaurant trying to over charge me. So people always check your final bill 💸.

What a find. Just a Google search brought up this excellent Italian restaurant. Full of character and charm. Foods pretty good too.

Nice wee Italian restaurant in derry, food is simple and nice. The star of the show here is Bruno with how amazing vocals !

We had night in spagetti junction with my family. OMG it was amazing ... the staff were amazing and entertainment was 110% .....1 of 13 of us ordered a pizza and it didn't come but we shared 😀

Loved the place, food good fast service

A fabulous evening! Great food and entertainment 👌

Delicious food, great staff and management!

One of Derrys hidden gems. Fantastic food, great service, and amazing entertainment.

Good atmosphere Service reasonable although I had to ask for my side order twice which got delivered after the main course was eaten. They also never came back for follow up drinks. Had to ask more than once. Food was truly awful. Tiny portions and display was terrible. Tasted very average. I’d go here for atmosphere only. Definitely not the food.

Very delicious pasta and friendly staffs!! Thank you :D

Authentic Italian. Love it. We are now loyal customer and fun. 😋😋😋😋😋

Lovely food and very pleasant staff. Generous portion size, food which actually tastes Italian 💗

Lovely meal here with friends and family. Friendly service

A fantastic atmosphere food was beautiful staff were so friendly & helpful ..Bruno was amazing definitely worth a visit .we had a great night of fun & laughter

Drove from Dublin for the weekend and had a brilliant time at the restaurant. 😃😁
