Spaghetteri Aldo

Perpignan


International rugby stars fuel up on the ultra-fresh homemade pasta dishes (incorporating 20 pasta styles) at this authentic wood-beamed Italian restaurant. Favourites include ravioli, gnocchi, lasagne and tagliatelle. Bruschetta and salads also grace the menu, but don't expect pizza, which it resolutely doesn't serve.
