Spaghetti and garlic bread is one of the most simple yet versatile Italian dishes you can get, a classic combo when no-frills, delicious food is what’s needed. Many restaurants have some variation on spaghetti and sauce, and the garlic bread can come in the shape of breadsticks, Texas toast, loaded with cheese, and so on. This is comfort food at its best, and diners can’t get enough. If you want a delicious, flavorful meal, here are five chains with the best spaghetti and garlic bread, according to fans.
Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen has a spaghetti/lasagna hybrid dish called Spasagna: Spaghetti layered with four cheeses, baked and finished with alfredo and marinara sauce, and served with thick garlic bread. “I tried their spasagna for the first time just the right amount of tomato sauce and Alfredo sauce definitely delicious 😋 and such a big portion took home leftovers,” one diner said. Other diners say the garlic bread is almost TOO garlicky (so in other words, it’s perfect).
Portillo’s has several pasta options on the menu, including the spaghetti served with a choice of homemade marinara or meat sauce, perfect with the buttery, crispy garlic bread diners can order plain or with mozzarella. “This place never disappoints every time we go here,” one fan said. “This time we ordered a cheeseburger, spaghetti, roast beef sandwich, garlic bread and cheese fries… The food is delicious with a fast food feel.”
The spaghetti dish at Cortina’s Italian Market & Pizzeria is made with your choice of red sauce and garnished with parmesan and parsley, and comes with a side of garlic bread. “I’ve never had a bad meal at Cortinas,” one diner said. “Most restaurant meatballs are disappointing. But Cortinas came for business! The Spaghetti and Meatballs are phenomenal!!!”
Diners at Gino’s Pizza and Spaghetti House can get homestyle or baked spaghetti with a side of savory garlic bread. “The baked spaghetti is great. Can’t get it in Maryland so when we come in to visit family we try to get at least one meal,” one fan said.
