Spaghetti Club, a new restaurant in Richmond, offers a unique dining experience that goes beyond its name. While one might expect a traditional spaghetti-centric menu, the restaurant surprises with a diverse Italian-inspired menu. The restaurant's concept is rooted in the weekly Monday night family dinners held at Mamas co-owner Lucas Gugliandolo’s nonna and nonno’s house, where up to 20 people gathered to eat. This inspired the restaurant's menu, which features dishes like 10-hour baked ziti, pork chop cotoletta, and tiramisu. The restaurant's head chef, Michael Flemming, has taken the lead in creating the menu, drawing inspiration from Gugliandolo's orange recipe book. The most literal translations of recipes from the book include maccheroni alla norma, nonno’s lasagne, and ricotta-filled cannoli. The restaurant's interior design also reflects the Gugliandolo family home, with orange tiles and yellow-tinted windows, while still maintaining a modern and homey feel. Spaghetti Club offers a unique dining experience that is both traditional and modern, making it a must-visit for food enthusiasts in Richmond.
