Spaghettini Italian Grill and Lounge
If you’ve ever worked in the food industry, you know the dream: someday you will own your own place.
Well, 21 years ago, two people who worked together at a chain restaurant each had that dream.
One was going to build a California grill-style restaurant.
The other was going to go Italian.
Then they saw a piece of land.
Next thing you know, they had put their dreams together and came up with the concept of an Italian Grill.
The result is Spaghettini Italian Grill and Lounge, happily serving the Southern California area since the dream was built from the ground up. The theme, as well as the menu, is based on the Tuscany region of Italy with grilled meats and fresh side dishes.
The collaborators are Laurie Sisneros (“the brains”) and Cary Hardwick (“the beauty,” or, as Sisneros affectionately calls him, “the window dressing”).
“We are smack dab in the middle of Southern California. The 405, the 605 and the 22 merge right at our location,” says Hardwich. “Many of our customers meet their out-of-town guests here. We’re a destination.”
What brings them to the Seal Beach spot, at least in part, is the food. Spaghettini has an award-winning wine list and food they describe as “grilled meats and grilled vegetables, simply prepared” with lighter sauces and great flavor.
