An extraordinary evening at Spiga Trattoria! A true hidden gem that delivers a refined and unforgettable dining experience. Rather than ordering traditionally, we asked the kitchen to prepare whatever the chef felt inspired to create for us, and they exceeded every expectation. Each course felt thoughtfully curated, showcasing impeccable technique and exceptional ingredients, many beautifully sourced from Italy. Marco provided a level of hospitality that was nothing short of outstanding. His attentive, one-on-one guidance through each course, sharing the story behind each dish, from ingredients to origin, added a deeply personal and elevated touch to the evening. The intimate, charming setting only enhances the experience, allowing the cuisine and service to take center stage. Every detail felt intentional, every bite memorable. A truly luxurious and bespoke dining experience. We left thoroughly impressed and can't wait to return. read more

I want to tell everyone about this place but I also don't want to tell anyone!! Make a reservation over the phone, the space is tiny and will fill up very quickly. Very cozy, intimate atmosphere. The food is really really good, some of the best Italian in NYC. I love their chicken parm and order it every time. The other pasta's and entrees I've tried by picking bites off my husband's plate and those have been fantastic as well. The wine is good, limited menu but that's fine by me. We also ordered the tiramisu and it was divine! can't wait for the patio to be open to sit outside in the summer and snack and drink! Servers are really friendly, there's only one or two but they do a great job. read more

We sat outdoors on a nice day as a walk in on Friday evening, we ordered the fettuccine bolognese and squid ink pasta. The noodle texture was great and portion size reminded me of what it was like in Italy (definitely didn't over eat) read more

Small intimate Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side. Located on 84th just off of Columbus. Reservations are a must since there are only 10 tables and they have a lot of regulars from the neighborhood. Service was genuine, attentive and welcoming. Food was amazing. So much attention to detail Everything ordered was excellent and cooked to order. Branzino - Light and tender white fish cooked in a lemon caper sauce and served with potatoes and broccoli. Linguine Nere Con Gamberi Calamari - Squid ink linguine cooked al dente with shrimp, squid & tomato. This dish was a stand I highly recommend this hidden gem. Perfect for a small family dinner or a nice date night. You won't be sorry. read more

I've been to other cult of personality restaurants in the city like Kabab Cafe or Dough Vale. Oftentimes an exceptionally sociable proprietor detracts from the food, but thankfully Spiga is the exception that proves the rule, churning out some of the better pastas in upper Manhattan. We shared the fusilli with pesto and burrata and gnocchi with a light tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella. Both were quite satisfying without being overly heavy, although the gnocchi was the preferred of the two - the fresh mozzarella provided great textural contrast, and the portioning was not too stingy. The rustic set-up is quite inviting, and there's a nice atmosphere created from how the restaurant gradually spills onto the sidewalk. I would come back. read more

I ate here with some friends Friday night. The food and service was excellent. I got the Chicken Parm and it was one of the best I've ever had. Note: the place is quite small, so might not be great if that bothers you, but I was fine. Outdoor space will be open soon. Make a reservation. read more

Spiga - Chicken Parm - Food Delivery Services Near Me - New York, New York

Delicious authentic Italian cuisine in a tiny (seriously, like 3 or so tables inside and a handful outdoors) homelike setting. My friend kept asking for Americanized dishes like chicken fettuccine and our server said his Uncle the chef would scoff at such menu suggestions. So cute. It wasn't until we arrived at the restaurant after deciding on it base on Yelp reviews that I realized it was already on my list. My daughter and I had been to the wine bar across the street and were admiring how quaint was Spiga was and wondering if we should have chosen to go there instead. It made us nostalgic for our recent trip to Florence. The food was exquisite. The serving sizes were perfect. The pasta was fresh, a perfect al dente, the flavors nuanced and balanced and pleasantly palatable. Our server was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and proud about the food and the establishment. I look forward to my next opportunity to return. read more

This was our second time dining at Spiga, and everything about it was just as incredible as the first. I would definitely recommend calling for a reservation, as there are only ~10 tables inside. The space was warm and inviting during these chilly winter months, and service was friendly and quick. They had a great selection of wine to choose from, although my partner had a peroni instead. To start, their bread with olive oil was a perfect bite. We shared the Caprese di Buffala as an appetizer, and even though tomatoes aren't in season, they were juicy and sweet paired with the creamy mozz. For my dinner, I had the fusilli with pesto, sundried tomatoes, burrata and pistachios. In my opinion, this is the most perfect pasta I've ever had! The pesto was so flavorful, the pistachios added a perfect crunch, and the homemade pasta was outstanding. My partner had the gnocchi in a tomato sauce, which he quickly devoured. The dessert menu was full of good options, but he picked the tartufo. Chocolaty, creamy, and delicious! We will definitely return next time we're near the Upper West Side! read more

Spiga is simply spectacular! We've been several times and always love our experience. The food is excellent, the service friendly, and space cozy. The fettuccine bolognese continues to be my favorite dish; however, the amatriciana and pappardelle dishes are also superb. The burrata of the day is a guarantee good time. Plus, we finally tried their tiramisu - yes, yes, yes! They pour hot coffee into the tiramisu when they serve it at the table. It's oh, so divine! read more

Great food great service especially if Tabitha is your server. Nice clean classy look. Everything we ordered was delicious and it's BYOB, which is a plus. read more

A small restaurant with delicious food! The waiters and host was kind and seated me for my reservation on time. I ordered the branzino which was delicious and had a good mix of capers and lemon that didnt overpower the fish. The potatoes that came with the dish were also crispy. The portion size was just right. The server was attentive and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. read more

Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday at her request. What a charming and tiny place! The food is authentic and the waitstaff makes you feel as if you are in their own home. While the Caesar salad wasn't the greatest, the rest of the food was very good. Reservations are highly recommended as walk ins will surely have to wait for this highly coveted neighborhood spot. Salute! read more

We stopped by Spiga for dinner Friday night, note to self: definitely get a reservation next time! Thankfully we arrived early enough before the crowd and was able to grab a table (with exception that manager said we had to leave by 1.5 hours). We took a chance, we actually ended up closer to 2 hrs but luckily they didn't say anything. There are not many table, only all out on the street. Indoors there are only 3 tables, so very small. We ordered the meatballs and artichoke for apps, while I generally love meatballs and this was a very filling hardy meatball, it was on the salty side. The artichoke salad was also very fresh. For mains we shared the paccheri alla Norma, which hubby loved. He said the pasta consistency was spot on! The black ink pasta with shrimp and calamari, flavor was ok. Liked the shrimp but calamari was nothing to rave about. And the chicken parm which I thought I would immediately love. However it was also rather salty. Either I seriously cook with no salt flavor or I am really sensitive to salt. The side dish of broccoli rabe can be skipped. Overall service was excellent, authentic with homemade pastas. read more

OK, well. WOW. why did I wait so long to try this place. Such a DISSERVICE to my palate. A tiny, very homey and welcome whole in the whole in UWS- couldn't be more perfect. When asked whats the best seller or crowd fave here? Marco, who was so lovely and vibrant then says "you can literally never go wrong here". and lo and behold after our meal, I could not agree more with him. Got the pear arugula salad, the simplest of ingredients but oh. my. gosh. the layers of flavor! Got their special for the day too, which was burrata on Prosciutto, some arugula and fried something doughy with I think onions and tomato on the side with some balsamic on it- ok, this was orgasmic. Now, the pasta. Truly THE Best Pesto pasta i've have tried so farrr and i've had a few. Marco also knew we were splitting everything we ordered so the pasta came split in 2 plates. Now, talk about attention to details, care and impeccable service. *chef's kiss* I will most definitely be a regular! read more

Super cute, super quality authentic Italian "hole in the wall." They recently changed ownership and the food is absolutely ELITE. The pesto fusilli, fettuccine bolognese, and steak were the highlights for us. Most of their pastas / flour are imported from Italy. I would also not read into the "To Go" too much - eating there in person is the optimal experience without a doubt. Spiga has become our new go-to for Italian on the west side. Major shoutout!! read more

Delightful little Italian place! There's not much seating but we managed to snag a table. I ordered an aperol spritz and paccheri alla norma, which was rigatoni with eggplant, tomato, and aged ricotta. The pasta was very filling and had the perfect al dente texture. We also got a fennel salad for the table, which was very refreshing. It was honestly a perfect summer night meal. read more

I was traveling out to NYC for the first time and this restaurant was the first restaurant I've been to my entire trip that had really good customer service. From the moment I arrived I was greeted. I got to choose where I wanted to sit and immediately got waters and menus. Ordered a few things off menu but when everything arrived I was astonished. The food tasted fresh and straight out of a dream I didn't wanna wake up from. I'm so glad to have chose this place over all the others I passed by because I didn't regret it at all. From the beautiful decor to the overall peaceful atmosphere my experience was exquisite. Customer service 10/10 Food 10/10 definitely would come by again :) read more

Absolutely disgraceful. Arrived at 6 by 7:20 the manager told us we couldn't order more wine because we had to leave the table at 7:30. Food was dry and disgusting because it was cooked too early. Restaurant is understaffed, incompetent and unprofessional. Nothing will make me return even though it's only a block from my apartment. read more

Staff extremely rude, never had such a horrible dining experience. If the staff is unhappy working here maybe find a different career or place to work? read more

First of all...the service! Exactly what you expect when you dine out. Just exceptional. The space is small. I think 8 tables in total. It's a tiny restaurant and perfect for a cozy night winter vibe. The food was good. It wasn't spectacular. Portion sizes were good. Pricing was good. Even though the food didn't blow me away, the whole experience was enough that I'm already planning my next trip back to try more dishes. I do think this is going to be one of my new favorite spots. Bravo, Spiga! read more

The food is some of if not the best I've had in New York, fettuccine bolognese is outstanding. service couldn't be better. cozy spot in the cold months and top tier outdoor dining in the summer. read more

The place makes you feel both special and comfortable. The taste left a good impression. The team here is friendly and polite. You can relax here while being well taken care of. Every moment spent here was pleasant. read more

They did not honor the reservation they had in the books for us. They said a larger party had come and that we would not be able to sit at the 9pm res we had. Absolute insanity and no apology offered! Amateur hour and not worth going. read more

Efe was so welcoming and the restaurant is charming. It's very cozy ( small space) but comfortable. The food was fresh and delicious. We had two pasta dishes, branzino , Caesar salad, artichoke and mozzarella appetizer. Dessert was Tiramisu. Everything was excellent. Loved my lemon spritz. Would highly recommend. read more

Food is super fresh and prepared the way only Italian people know how!!its very closed to Central Park west about 309 yards! You can always take a walk in the beautiful Central Park if you feel you had too much food and could not resist the delicious desserts! The classic tiramisu is to die for!! Maybe an espresso since you in Italian territory!!! read more

After another restaurant one block away was not serving chicken parmigiana we decided to try Spiga. The restaurant appeared very cute and cozy from the outside with only about 6 tables inside, all full. The owner ( I assume) was kind enough to offer us a table outside in a semi enclosed seating area. We were pleased to find blankets on each chair to keep us warm as I was quite chilly outside. The owner recommended a great red wine and even educated us on Italian wines. We ordered the meat ball appetizer, chicken parmigiana with rigatoni and marinara and also pasta allá norma. The meatballs came out with delicious fresh bread and the sauce was incredible. Our entrees were also amazing and my husband and I said the pasta was the best we have ever had. The tiramisú with the tableside pour of espresso on top just knocked this experience out of the park. We can't wait to come back read more

Absolutely lovely dinner. Service was attentive but not overbearing. My dish was a wonderful mix of flavors and spiciness. Recommended wine was a fantastic match with the dish. read more

How lucky the locals are on the upper west side to have this sweet, cozy Italian delight, The owner, Marco, greets you at the door of this tiny haven with a warm smile and the evening is underway (definitely make a reservation). We ordered a Chianti, the arugula salad, lamb chops, the special ravioli and the tiramisu. All dishes plus the bread were outstanding. We left feeling as though Marco had invited us into his home with many of his dedicated friends who get to enjoy this special place regularly. We will always plan to come back. read more

Phenomenal location just as good if not better than having a grandma cook for you in Rome. Marco makes you feel like you are part of the family and the service is top notch! It's a cute little spot great for a meal, date or celebration! Would highly recommend probably one of the favorite places in the country! I will definitely be back next time I'm in NYC read more

Omg. What a great restaurant!! We have traveled to Italy for many years dining in trattorias. Spiga rivals any of these. Food quality, attention to details and of course conversing with the owner were an experience. We can't wait to go back especially since we do not have to buy a plane ticket to Italy to have a wonderful meal. read more

Really enjoyable neighborhood restaurant. Very small venue (make reservations) with a big dining experience. While the menu may be smaller the flavors are "grande". The wine selection was enjoyable. The desserts delightful. The service proved to be excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I can't believe I hadn't been here before. This is already one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood after just one visit. It's BYOB which is great at keeping the cost down. The burrata special appetizer was one of the best bites I've had in the neighborhood. Highly recommend the stuffed pasta as well. Marco and Effe were excellent and gave amazing recommendations. read more
