Spaghetti Eddie's Cucina Italiana

We've been doing a bit of a crawl of So Cal Italian mid-price food spots lately, from the westside to the SF Valley to Orange County. Not familiar with Spaghetti Eddie's, but opted to take a look based on good reviews around the web. This is now at the top of our list. For my gluten-sensitive wife, the offerings were more plentiful and tastier than anyplace we've tried recently. The minestrone soup sans-pasta and thus gluten-free was delicious. Both of our pasta dishes (Chicken Lombardia and Shrimp Fra Diavolo) were great. The bread was fresh and our wines were quite good. Also, our server, Adrian, was top-notch. Helped us navigate menu options, checked on us just when we needed him and got us some heat-at-home bread to make sure that (my) leftovers could be enjoyed with non-stale bread. Wonderful above-and-beyond move. It says something that before we left, we were already talking about friends and family members that we needed to bring with us for our next visit. Big thumbs-up. Great food, great staff, really good night out.

Tonight was our first time here and we'll definitely be back. I loved all the gluten free options. Our waiter told us that they were trained about the GF items on the menu. Highly recommend.
