Spaghetti Works has been a longtime Court Avenue staple, and with a recent remodel, it's adapted to the Court Avenue revitalization. When your friends are in town and you're not sure where to take them, Spaghetti Works is always a safe bet. A mix-and-match pasta special allows you to pick your pasta shape, toppings and sauce. And with your meal you get a trip to the salad bar (built in an old car), one of the best in town. Pizza and other Italian specialties are available.
