Readi Spaghetti

The best mac n cheese I’ve had had in a long time! The gal that helped me, usually from the other shop, was friendly and helpful for my first time in. I will be back!

If I could put no star I would! very disappointed in the size of the pizza and the lady in the front she has short blonde hair a little older she was super rude I was 2 cents short for a ranch and she wouldn’t help me or let two cents slide no worries won’t be seeing anymore of my money regular customer has been lost

Not bad. Fries at a pasta place? But pretty good fries surprisingly. I ended up eating all fries. My biggest complaint is all were too salty. Too much salt o. The fries. Marinara pizza and pasta with marinara sauce were salty as well. I did a to go order and found no bread stick that I ordered at home. Please do not ruin the food by making too salty next time.

When I first heard about this place, I was pretty curious to trying out this «speedy» Italian food. With the promise of getting your food quick and easy, I was actually let down by the quality of the food and the actual wait time. For roughly around $ 8 – 10, you can order a combo meal. I got the mini pasta combo which included pasta of choice, one side (salad/​fries/​soup), choice of bread and a small drink. I had the pesto pasta, salad, drink, and ordered a side of meatballs for some protein. Here’s my verdict of this place:
The Pros:
–Ample seating inside the restaurant
–Plenty of parking spaces
–Fairly cheap prices for the combo meals
–Décor of the place is pretty unique and cute
The Cons:
–Actual wait: Roughly 20−30min
–Salad = typical salad (not memorable)
–Bread: Too burnt to taste the garlic
–Pasta: For pesto, it was really bland. Sauce had no real flavor and the noodles were too chewy and tough.
–Meatballs: for an extra $ 2.50, you get three meatballs that were quite plain.
Overall, this was a so so place. Not sure if the other items like pizza /​sandwiches are good but do expect a wait if you swing by here for food.

I’ve got kids, kids love spaghetti. It’s not the best I’ve had by a long shot but it’s ok and it’s fast and not that expensive.

I have been contemplating going into this place for a while. I thought the customer service was great, the people on staff were really nice and accommodating.
The food was pretty tasty, I ordered the spaghetti with marinara sauce. I got it with the basil, olive, onion, tomato add on. I got the smallest portion, which was enough to be comfortably full. The ingredients were really fresh.
I was a little sad with the size of the bread stick, but that’s just me. Also, I think the sauce could use some more garlic and herbs.
Oh, I forgot to add, I got my food really quickly. If you’re in a hurry, this place is fast.
All in all, I think I will be coming back when I’m in this side of town. :)

After dining at Readi Spaghetti several times and everyone enjoying it, our school, Heritage School Academy, utilized their catering services for a Spaghetti Feed at the school and it was a HUGE hit! The food arrived on time, was warm, the salads were crisp and of course the breadsticks were fabulous! Stephanie was wonderful to work with, delivered the food, and even provided serving utensils, plates, forks, napkins, etc. At approximately $ 8 pp, the food was a great value and everyone was pleased with the quality. Thanks Readi Spaghetti and Stephanie! We will be back :-)
Oh and their Gluten-​free pasta is AWESOME!

Eat here at your own peril. I have witnessed employees violating safe food practices and I walked out.

Fast service. Create your own pasta, pizza, sandwiches and yummy antipasto salad with house dressing. Nice alternative to take out food. Bread sticks with meat sauce are super yummy!!!

Nothing to right home to mom about hear. Way over priced, for spaghetti with no flavor. My order was to go and no fork also, I hate that when they just don’t put them in there. I fig they would since they were not out to grab one. Anyways don’t spend your money hear, many other places I would rather go. I won’t be back.

Not the cheapest place but definitely the most convenient. It’s extremely quick for a pasta place and the food quality is pretty good. Wish there was a couple more options for salads.

Oh my, how can anyone have any complaints about this place, the food or the service? My husband and I have been here over a dozen times now and have consistently received exactly what we ordered and with great service! Spaghetti is not even one of my favorite foods, but I totally crave the Jonny Meat Sauce and have it often. Of course you can usually tell the new employees as they are NEW and nervous, but everyone starts somewhere, so give them a break. You can tell the manager Stephanie takes great pride in her employees and is a very patient teacher. I have never seen her without a smile on her face and a happy «Hello» when we walk in the door, even if she is in the back of the kitchen. Highly recommend you try this place regardless of any negative reviews they have — it’s totally worth it!

We have been to Readi Spaghetti about 4 times now. «Johnny Meat sauce» is very good. I grew up in a large Italian family so I really do know my red sauce! The complaint I have is from the last visit and the wait time for our food. Normally the reason we venture to readi spaghetti is that during the week you usually have the advantage of good food quickly prepared and you can get in and out in 10 minutes tops!
Last Wednesday my husband went in to pick up a simple spaghetti, extra sauce and garlic bread. I actually waited in the car because it is often a very short wait. After reading my emails, watching a few utube videos and checking my facebook, I realized that not only did my husband not come out yet but no one had and there seemed to be a line waiting for their dinner.
After more than a 20 minute wait, my husband appeared with his spaghetti. He said it had been sitting on the counter and he had asked «is that my spaghetti», and the girl in charge stated yes. He asked if he could pick it up and be on his way and she said they had forgotten to put in his garlic bread and they would do it now. He opted not to have the garlic bread and she pulled another garlic bread from someone else’s order for him. I hate to think how much longer that person would have to wait.
All of this was blamed on «training». I don’t understand why training would cause such a back-​up and I’d blame it more on no organized plan for training and perhaps in the future the trainer needs to be more aware of the customers needs and get the training plan set up for success. As an owner of fast food restaurants my husband is very aware of training staff and never has the service suffered due to «training» new poeple — something that in the fast food industry happens day in and day out.
I hope that Readi Spaghetti gets «readi» in the future for their training staff and increases customer flow.

Can’t beat for the price. It’s honestly much better than Olive Garden and way cheaper. I actually used to work in a pretty high class Italian restaurant who made all their food from scratch and I’m telling you this is some of the best fast food pasta I’ve ever had. Tastes like the real deal. Bomb pasta salad too, the bread sticks are yummy and the portions are good. Friendly staff. You totally get what you pay for and more.

Love this place! I try to get by every time I’m in town. Love the fries love everything about this place. For fast it is awesome.

For starters the food is simple and pretty tasty for the price. Really cool idea for quick food. However, the service is atrocious. The employees have no sense of customer service. Also, they got our entire order wrong, but had no issues charging us for it. They messed up the order before ours too so it’s probably pretty common.

I have purposefully not visited this place since it opened simply because I make my own pasta at home often and don’t need to pay anyone to do it for me. It’s pretty hard to make bad pasta, but after suffering an intestinal disorder for about 4 days, I was NOT in the mood to cook!
My 12yo son was craving fettuccine Alfredo on a Friday night, and voila — Readi Spaghetti does takeout!
We ordered a medium fettuccine Alfredo (no meat), the baked macaroni and cheese (one size, which turned out to be the same size as the medium Alfredo), and a regular-​sized antipasto salad with Italian dressing.
The fettuccine was delicious. Perfectly simple, but creamy and exactly what my son wanted. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. No complaints! And the medium was perfect for him (he’s 12) since he ate about half of it and then had the rest the next day for lunch (was very good as leftovers!).
I wasn’t in the mood to eat, but once the mac and cheese was in front of me, I couldn’t resist. It was delicious. It’s the traditional home-​baked ooey-​gooey (NOT greasy!) cheesy mac and cheese and then… the best part… topped/​tossed with tomatoes, snips of basil, diced red onion, and black olives. It could have been a little more generous with the basil and olives, but overall, a really nice flavor combination and texture. We ate about ¼ of it (remember, I’d been sick!), but it heated up perfectly the next day and again, NOT GREASY like I would have expected.
The antipasto salad was fresh and really hit the spot. Romaine lettuce tossed with salami, olives, garbanzo beans, mozzarella cheese, red onion, and tomatoes. They could have been more generous with the salami (or maybe just cut it more narrow so that there seemed to be more to go around with each bite) and I would have liked more olives. The garbanzo beans were plentiful which was great because I love them. I ordered the regular Italian dressing that came on the side and it was very good.
Each entrée came with either a pair of bread sticks or a pair of garlic bread toasts. Both were fine.
I had a coupon which made the total about $ 20 after tax. Parking is convenient and reserved right out front for pickup. The staff were friendly and helpful (talked to two of them, and one actually walked our bags around the corner of the counter to hand-​deliver to us, which I thought was nice), and they had our order ready for us in the 8 – 10 minutes it took us to get there. Hot food was hot, salad nice and cool, sides of dressing, grated Parmesan, and red pepper flakes in the bags.
The only drawback was I found their online menu and order system to be inconsistent and a bit confusing. If you just want to peruse the menu, the baked mac & cheese doesn’t appear, but it you access the ordering function, it does. Also, the description of the mac & cheese says it comes with the extras, but then further down the page, it offers the extras separately as «Fresca Style» for another dollar. Ummm??? So, I called my order in, didn’t pay the extra dollar for Fresca Style but got it anyway, and really didn’t get a clear answer why.
Many comments here mention the décor. We didn’t even notice — LOL. The only thing I did notice was there were maybe two families eating in and sound seemed to carry and echo.
Overall, I never thought I’d say this, but we will return! Fast, convenient, friendly, good portion sizes, close, affordable, no styrofoam — all good things on nights I don’t want to cook!

Fast fun food. Friendly counter staff. Cool macaroni lighting, coupled with a flying Vespa. It’s pretty cheap. It is really fast. It is tasty. I like the ravioli in a bread bowl with meat sauce a lot. You might too.
Good parking, convenient location just off 405. Clean as a whistle.

Remarkable, and not in a good way. I ate at Readi Spaghetti today with a couple other folks. The consensus opinion was meh minus. I had the meat pizza which had a surprisingly tough thin crust. It couldn’t be torn, and wasn’t cut all the way through. It was a bit like eating some cheese and toppings on a high fiber tortilla… and about as tasty. Cue me sawing with a plastic fork!
The other guys had spaghetti, which apparently wasn’t sufficiently good as to be finished and raviolis with meatballs (and they had to inquire about the whereabouts of the meatballs to be told — «there in there»)
So net net, not a place that I’ll be returning to. It isn’t horrible, but it isn’t good either.

Readi Spaghetti is one of several places to eat that have popped up in the Canyon Park area of Bothell recently. I love pasta, I think most people do, but alas I try to stay away from it as much as possible, you know, the carbs!
So on a recent visit I ordered their lunch soup n salad combo. The salad was made with nice greens, and they have a low fat Italian dressing option. The minestrone soup was tasty, I got it without the mozzarella or croutons, bet it’s super yum w those. It also came with a small piece of bread. It was all good and satisfying, maybe slightly overpriced, seems like it was close to $ 7. But that did come with a fountain drink.
Where this place fails a bit is the service. The workers seemed to not want to be there or care much at all. A hello or a welcome goes a long way, but the cashier girl seemed inconvenienced that we bothered to come in.
I probably will come back at some point to get a pasta fix. The other options on the menu sounded pretty yummy.
