The menu I think had a good variety of entrees to choose from, and we both ended really liking the dishes we ordered. I ordered the pasta bolognese, and it was great. The pasta was cooked right and the sauce not super over powering. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. My only complaint was that seating is a little cramped, and everyone including the restaurant staff had to maneuver around chairs, etc. but other than that we really enjoyed our visit.

It's been awhile since I have had it. It's not as good as I remember. I do appreciate the amount of shrimp, lobster and mushrooms in the dish. The flavor just doesn't blow me away like it use to.

The garlic knot basket is perfect (and comes with a marinara sauce to dip) and IMO the best thing ever! We got linguine Vongole with white sauce (y'all know this is what I order EVERY time, my litmus test) and the hubs got linguine pomodore (tomato!) and we also ordered manicotti (to go for our kiddo). The linguine with white clam sauce has a lot of clams and little neck clam shells (legit!) and very saucy. I wish I saved some garlic knot to dip in the sauce. I added red chili flake and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Oo it's quite delicious. We didn't have any room left for dessert! Highly recommend this cozy spot and the service was superb and fast, everyone super friendly. I might have messed up my order but it was fixed right away!

Pasta was very simple, not much sauce or flavor. This might be more classic, but i ended up just eating the chicken. The lamb pasta was interesting -- I could taste cinnamon or cardamom or cloves or some spices in the lamb that reminded me of Indian spices. It was different but didn't hit the craving for a classic meat sauce. Salmon was delicious but it was seriously such a skimpy serving of potatoes and veggies for the dish. Not a $27 value, in my opinion, but hey, everything is insanely expensive right now. The tiramisu was the star of the show -- so moist and fresh!! Next time i come here, i will prioritize drinks, apps and dessert. Those were really my favorite part of this meal. Maybe i just haven't found my favorite dish.

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for some time and decided to give it a go on my birthday…read more The inside is beautiful..hence the 2 stars. After that, the experience was pretty disappointing. The restaurant was not busy during our Wednesday dinner. There was a group of 6 servers standing in a pod chatting during most of our dinner. Our server had the personality of a brick wall. I overheard other servers describing dishes to guests, telling them the daily specials and making them feel welcome. Our server did not, which is sad because I was about to pay $30 per plate, plus $14 per cocktail for my husband and I. The Atlantic Salmon I ordered was very large, but too salty. The lemon sauce was not good. The consistency was very thin and tasted tart, poorly seasoned. The veggies (broccoli and carrots) were an afterthought. That made me sadder than my overcooked salmon...because I LOVE broccoli. Small peices of broccoli and carrot sticks were served hiding under the salmon on my plate, probably too ashamed to show themselves. My husband said it looked like they used the frozen veggies that go in stir fry. We paid the large bill and as our server started walking away he said "Yall have a great night"...like in passing, no eye contact, no commitment in it. I can get that exiting phrase at any chain food in the city. What a shame!

This is simply a fantastic neighborhood Italian restaurant with consistently excellent food, a fun bar, and a great atmosphere. We especially enjoy sitting on the outdoor patio when the weather is nice. Every meal starts with complimentary bread, which is always a nice touch. We shared an order of calamari as an appetizer. It was good and exactly what you'd expect from a classic Italian restaurant. On our most recent visit, we ordered the Chicken Alla Panna, featuring mushrooms and shallots in a rich brandy cream sauce, the Eggplant Parmigiana served with pasta, a New York-style pizza, and the sea bass special. Every dish was excellent. The sauces are flavorful, the ingredients taste fresh, and it's clear the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The bar is equally impressive, offering an excellent selection of beer, wine and cocktails to complement the meal. One thing to know before you order is that the portions are large. We had plenty of leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day, which is always a bonus. If you're looking for a dependable neighborhood Italian restaurant with outstanding food, generous portions, and friendly service, Spazo is an easy recommendation.
