Harden's says

Named after the 19th-century Anglo-Italian inventor of the railway signalling system, this modern all-day dining offers a sharing concept through which Italian cuisine is presented with modern flair and an imaginative array of flavours. Opened in June 2022.

“A great little find right opposite King’s Cross”. “The location is not the best” – immediately off a busy pavement and bordering the trafficky Euston Road – but, if you want a good-value refuel before you hop on a train (especially with family in tow), this bright pitstop at the foot of a boutique hotel is trying hard: “service is good and they obviously care”. Made to be shared, each dish is carefully prepared representing Italy in all its glory from the open space kitchen located in the middle of the Restaurant and “the food is very nice”. In case you’ve been wondering, the place is named after the 19th-century Anglo-Italian inventor of the railway signalling system.

"Spagnoletti is a great find for a quick meal before boarding a train at either Kings Cross or St Pancras. Just across from the stations in Euston Road. High quality pasta dishes very well prepared and cooked. Service is very attentive and helpful. This is one of several visits that we have made this year and it is such a clean, well presented and reasonably priced find. Cant recommend enough. "
