Came around 5pm plenty of seating and you can park in the back. Great food, had the Filet mignon and mash potatoes with seasonal vegetables. My friend had pizza and said it was good. Service is excellent staff is knowledgeable and friendly. We were seated right away. Ambiance is great you can sit inside or outside. We choose inside for the air conditioner. read more

Spoleto Restaurant - Filet Mignon - Italian Near Me - Northampton, Massachusetts

Huge shoutout to Marjorie for making our dinner tonight so special! My ex and I came in for dinner after spending the day working on a remodeling project. The food was delicious, but Marjorie stole the show, she was incredibly friendly, engaging, and just a joy to talk to. It's rare that the conversation with your server makes a great meal feel phenomenal, but she nailed it. Thanks, Marjorie! read more

Our daughter attends college nearby, so we've been to Spoleto at least 10 times. We usually have no complaints, so maybe tonight was an anomaly? We asked to sit inside because the outside dining area was breezy. We arrived at 5:30 so it wasn't terribly crowded. There was only one other party seated inside and we were placed in the booth next to them. For the first 30 minutes, the woman at the other table was on FaceTime with her daughter at full volume. Their voices carried throughout the restaurant. We kept looking in her direction, hoping the staff would say something. They did not. When that party finally left, the kitchen staff started singing Billy Joel. Not sure why. We ordered from the fixed price menu, $30 for appetizer, entree and dessert. Food was fine. Finished eating and ordered dessert and then waited for well over 30 minutes. We were told that the kitchen was backed up, but we ordered tiramisu, creme brulee, and chocolate moose. We eventually asked if we could get it to go. After waiting another 10 minutes, we left without our dessert even though we paid for it. So frustrating. I can't imagine we will go back. read more

Spoleto is good, but not as good as it used to be years ago when it was in it's original location down Main St. It's got a nice atmosphere and good service. The food is fine, nothing exceptional. In summer the outdoor patio is lovely and it's warm and cozy inside in the winter. The arancini starter was divine. But my malfalde pasta seemed to be missing most of the pesto and so was pretty flavorless. Again, it's a nice spot but it's not going to blow your mind. read more

This place used to be a class act with great food! I was beyond disappointed last Saturday night as were the three friends I was with. Service was extremely slow for everything...drinks, appetizer, and food. We were there over three hours (party of four) from the time we sat down till we left. Food was cold and underwhelming, veggies were mush, servers were dressed like they worked at Hooters, and the bathrooms were filthy. Does anyone care anymore? Left there feeling sad! No second chances for Spoleto's! Denise D. read more

Definitely higher than a 3. Good outside searing. Short rib pappardelle was delicious and it will be tough to try something else next time through without getting this again. read more

Spoleto has a huuuge outdoor patio that is perfect for summer nights. Most of the patio is covered, so even if it rains like it did for us, we could still sit outside. They even have these really cool fire pit tables! There were a few different veggie options to choose from ranging from pizza to salad to pasta. I loooved the arancini! Whenever I see these on a menu, I order them because they're so good! These ones were stuffed with cheese in the middle. Yum! They had a fun list of mocktails for a very reasonable price. I had the mango spritz which was super yummy! For my main course, I had the eggplant rollatini. It was okay! I love eggplant, but I felt like there was no flavor in the dish, just sauce and cheese. I think it would be pretty easy to spruce it up a bit! Definitely come check out their patio before it gets too cold! read more

Horrible experience. 100 degrees + yesterday and no air conditioning! Employees told us their idiot boss refuses to fix it. We had a reservation and they didn't bother to call us and give us a choice about whether we wanted to come. Food was mediocre and menu uninspired. Total waste of time and $!! read more

Held our son's rehearsal dinner at Spoleto. The food was amazing! The service was incredible. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had all of our needs met! Thank you to Peter and his team! Everyone loved the food and the ambiance. read more

We sat outside at the high top tables. I had a glass of Pinot Noir with the pre fixed menu: $31 for garlic bread, a healthy entree of cheese ravioli and dessert. Below read more

Spoleto Restaurant - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Northampton, Massachusetts

My first time at this restaurant and the service was terrible. We waited 2 hours for our food to come. We never got the appetizers we ordered and the main course was cold. This dinner experience almost ruined which was supposed to be a happy occasion for a family friend who graduated from UMass Amherst. We all came from out of town to attend the graduation and to receive that service was disappointing. read more

So disappointed !!! I thought I would give Spoleto one more try after a really bad experience in the spring. ( they used to be very good) I went for the pepperoni pizza, thought that would be safe! Well it came out undercooked , cheese was not melted , bread was still raw. The waiter took it back and brought it back 10min later and apologized, saying I'm not sure you want to eat this. The pizza still looked undercooked and looked like someone took there fingers and moved the cheese around to see if it was cooked, so gross!! Waiter was very nice about it and asked if I wanted something different, by that point my friend had already finished eating. Ending up Leaving with no dinner. I will never go back there . read more

Very hospitable staff. I give it up the to head chef for bringing out a nice bottle of wine since we're celebrating and for personally greeting us. The lighting inside made it a great spot for dating. The drinks were very good! I did expect the food to be better though. The stuffed shells were not what I expected as it was just some pasta with meat mixed in the dish. read more

Amazing 3 course Dinner Deal Sunday Night!! Yesterday my best friend and I ate at Spoleto and chose the Three course Dinner Deal!! For about 30 dollars we were able to pick an appetizer , entree and a desert from quite a long list of items. We both picked the same things and the meal was not only a bargain but delicious. We both had the brick oven calamari to start. The appetizer portion was perfect for one person, and the calamari was as good as I have ever had. The calamari were fresh and tender without a ton of coating...delicious. For the main entrees we picked the pecan encrusted salmon. Again, the dish was plentiful, the fish perfectly seasoned and the there was an ample arrangement of sides included. I am often disappointed when a restaurant throws a single small potato on a dish...this entree was delicious and well accompanied. Desert was tiramisu...perfectly sized as I don't always eat desert. But when it is homemade and fresh it's the best. All our plates looked good on presentation and the difference between the quality of the ingredients in Spoleto's Dinner Deal compared to a chain restaurant was very apparent. This is a must stop on a Sunday Evening! Service was also very good and we enjoyed a great recommended bottle of wine. With so many choices I will have to try this another time but easily could end up picking the same items!! read more

Good service from the waitress. She was great! Attentive and knowledgeable. The bread was also fresh and hot. The ambiance was ruined by the lack of air conditioning inside the restaurant. We chose to eat indoors to get a break from the bugs. Went there for the Paella for two. We ordered that and got a couple of the strawberry sangrias. Very nice and refreshing. While waiting inquired about some bread/butter. $3 for a half loaf, $6 for a full loaf. This feels terrible to be in an Italian restaurant and not get served complimentary bread and butter. The Paella came and it had a good taste, but some of the clams were grainy. Not one to complain about my food, but if this is your Thursday night special we should be beyond grainy clams. Took a great deal of it home, as we were still fighting the heat. We ordered the full loaf of bread but my feeling is, factor the price of bread into the meal! It feels like they're not trying to create a culinary experience for you but want to nickel/dime you. We won't be returning. I also want to add that they have 'dual pricing' - one price for cash and one price for credit....need I say more? read more

I want to love this place but quite frankly, the food & service is inconsistent. My last dinner was mediocre at best and when the owner came by our table, I foolishly assumed he was going to engage us in a friendly conversation about the food, as this would have made up for the slow service and not so tasty meal. But no. Nothing. Notta. Just couldn't be bothered. read more

Have enjoyed meals here in the past and drinks always good but the last time we ate there was pretty terrible. Had basic spaghetti with sauce and meatballs. The meatballs were burnt and hard (blackened), spaghetti was quite mushy and sauce was so-so. I tend to judge Italian restaurants by the basics and this was so terrible I haven't been able to bring myself to go back and try again. read more

Bar service was fine. Cocktails very good. Spicy Caesar salad was terrible, I could make a better one blind folded. It was all oil and vinegar. Gross. Crab cakes were great. I have been around a long time. Time to re-train the salad chef. read more

So we went to Spoletos Restaurant. What a perfect night to sit outside. The food was good. But the service was horrible. Our main dish never came. The manager overcharged us on 2 items and said service was poor because he never knows how many diners are going to show up. Hmmmmm. I had a bad experience about 4 yrs ago as well. Guess we are sticking with Joes. read more

Spoleto Restaurant - S - Italian Near Me - Northampton, Massachusetts

I really love Spoleto's. Easy, tasty, solid seating options, great drink choices. I've had dinner and drinks on multiple occasions sitting down and then ordered food for pick up on other occasions. Great choices every time. Lots and lots of great food and dessert options, and when the weather is warm, their outdoor seating is perfect. When it's cold, sit on their new deck that has the heated lamps. Delightful year round. Highly recommend their garlic bread. It slams. And their spaghetti with ricotta is bomb. Pizza is also good. read more

I'm a wee concerned that this restaurant is listed as being on Bridge Street. The Spoleto I went to felt to me like it was on Main Sty, but I digress (seems maybe Main turns into Bride, but isn't Bridge St further North off of King? I'm fairly new to the area so...whatever) First off, We had a waiter in training (Chelsea) who was fantastic. I assume she is a very experienced waitress who is just learning the particulars of Spoletos. She was so accommodating to us (and they were busy). My spouse is life-or-death allergic to the enzymes in sharp cheeses, and Chelsea checked out every sauce, every dish. (You know, its a little complicated as Ricotta and mozzarella are just fine and blah and blah and blah). Then full off, Food is always just plain excellent. Pasta cooked just right, dreamy drinks, drop-dead-delicious gelato and cannoli. So fabulous food and a shout out to Chelsea our server. read more

Disappointed again. I used to love Spoleto. The food was very good, service was good, great setting. Alas, only the setting is good. I was meeting a friend for drinks and appetizers at the bar. Sat for a LONG time with only three other people at the other end of the bar. No eye contact or recognition from the bartender. None. (I used to tend bar in a restaurant and have managed bars in my sordid past). It was about 12 minutes and some active pursuit on my part to get the bartender's attention. My friend showed up, we had drinks and appetizers, which were 'meh', and on left. I go to restaurants 4-5 times per week for lunch and dinner. This won't be a place I return to. There are just too many other choices. read more

OMG! We were just passing through and happened upon one of the best spots we have enjoyed in a while! Dustin our waiter I swear read our minds!!!! Everything came out quick and was SO delicious. I would recommend sitting outside in nice weather. We frequent some wonderful 5 star restaurants.... This was one of the best experiences we've had in a very long time!!!! read more

Finally tried the new location after years of living away from Western Mass. The overall atmosphere was much different than before. The service was subpar. Our server was nice enough, but it seemed like it was his first day on the job. He forgot things and we had to flag him down for everything. The redeeming quality - the food was still good. My mother and I got the pre fixe menu and all 3 courses were good. I know good help is hard to find these days, so hopefully they can do more training. Would probably try other places in the area before I come back here again. read more

Spoleto Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Northampton, Massachusetts

Used to enjoy this place but had not been in some time. Sat inside with not enough air conditioning so we were hot. Food was ok, not great. Service was very good but the worst part of the experience were the number of flys and ants attacking our table. One fly ended up in my daughter's drink! When we complained we were told it was because they leave the back door open to serve the patio outside. This is not acceptable. You cannot run a quality restaurant and have an insect infestation for the diners to deal with! This was a special dinner to celebrate my birthday and we were very disappointed. We will not return unless it is winter and the door is kept closed but even then, this establishment has shown it does not care about customers' comfort so we may not ever return. This used to be a favorite spot many years ago but no longer. Really very disappointed! read more

Terrific food. Loved our server Victor! He as very knowledgeable about the menu with a great personality.

Wow how the mighty have fallen. You know they started to slide a few years ago and we kept trying to go back but they kept sliding We decided to give it another try the other night. I'm out. Never again. Don't hide behind "we can't find any help" The place is filthy. Don't bother opening the doors. read more

Service is great. Food is decent. I object to the 4% surcharge if the bill is paid by credit card. All well and good, it's disclosed, no issue there. My issue arose where my "discount" for paying by cash was gouged because they "don't do coins" so "rounded" but not in the usual way. My "discounted bill" came to $31.34 so I'd expect if they are truly rounding that change from my $50 bill would be $19, right? Nope. $18. They round in their favor turning my 4% discount into a 2% discount. The house wins either way... they take half my discount if I pay by cash and charge me 4% if I pay by credit card. Won't fall for that again. read more

I want to preface before saying anything that I am not usually one to ever leave reviews about a place, good or bad. However, this was one of the most disappointing experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. I made a reservation to celebrate my grad and we waited a whole 45 mins to even order drinks before our waitress came back just to say that health services were shutting off their gas and their kitchen was closing early (by 2 hours) and we had to leave. This all excludes the sticky table, the broken tilted table they took 0 effort to help fix, and the odd orange and white stuff floating around in our water. Sad because I used to like this place. read more

Our waiter was very nice and unfortunately he had to apologize for multiple issues. While ordering, he confirmed with managers that they could accommodate the alfredo dish gluten free and vegetarian. It took a while to arrive, which we didn't mind as they did get busy. When it did, we noticed immediately that the pasta was not gluten free. He was extremely apologetic and they remade it. The manager also came over and apologized, but it is very dangerous to overlook dietary restrictions. I got the eggplant rollatini, which was ok. It was clearly a popular restaurant but we were let down. A bill compensation for the mistake was never made. read more

Unbelievable. went after my brothers graduation after having a reservation and paying a deposit and they told us they shut down the kitchen and that we had to leave. read more

I ordered pan seared blackened red snapper last evening their special of the day. We waited 35 to 40 minutes. The fish arrived dry overcooked over spiced and salty. The waitress said the chef was training a new person. The check came and there was NO reduction on the $ 70 plus check. No wonder their ratings are so low read more

This place is definitely not for Italian food. Mediocre taste definitely not from any region of Italy. This should be listed as a fusion restaurant. Dry food, small portions, no bread and over cooked deep fried meatballs no sauce photo below. $100 bucks later and our party was like WTF did we choose this place. Wait staff were friendly, the only good experience of the visit. read more

I really used to love this place but hadn't been in years. The outdoor area was lovely--a gem in the city. But, the food was sadly not great, and felt like poor value for the price. A vegetarian pasta dish had maybe two slices of zucchini, 2 tomatoes, and 5 mushrooms. The server was nice but charged two extra (expensive) entrees to the ticket. I'm glad I looked closely before handing over my card. I was underwhelmed and miss the old Spoleto. read more

There are plenty of good restaurants around here to choose from--this is not one of them. Mediocre food and drinks and the snarkiest waiter I've ever had. (Lay off the coke, dude.) Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

I recommend this business somewhat. Spoleto has lost its original appeal. To an extent it has been the victim of COVID. We were willing to give it a try on New Year's Eve. Despite the reservation we had to haggle for a booth. I don't want to sit at the bar or adjacent to another couple in the window of a cold restaurant. We opted for fried calamari which is a regular menu item. We also chose a stuffed artichoke that was undercooked but burnt on top. Don't put a special on the menu without trying it out first. I realize that help is hard to find but staff should not be wearing jeans and a hoody. Supply a basic tee. The rigatoni bolognese was good but I had to have the pesto held. Why would pesto be in bolognese? The fra diavolo fish was good. All in all not bad but could have been better for NYE. The bathrooms are another topic with overflowing trash can and no toilet paper. A bathroom is representative of an establishment's food and service. Do a better job. read more

It was a crowded night and they offered to sit us downstairs immediately. Of course we said yes. Well, we were the only ones there and I think they forgot about us. We finally put in our drink order and good order. After a very long time our food came. No drinks. He forgot. No bread or rolls offered. Only checked on us once. Told us we could exit out a back stairway and came out near the dumpsters. I will say our meal was good. But I vowed never to agree to sit in the basement again. Maybe our experience will be much better. read more

We live in town and this place can be hit or miss. Tonight showed why your server makes the difference. We had an immediate connection with Dustin and he not only made sure the food was cooked to order but did the extras that made you feel welcome. We had the short rib ravioli and the scampi. We NEVER get dessert and tonite we did. Something is going right and if they're smart - Spoleto's will keep it rolling... read more

I stopped in very near their closing time after a long drive home from an event in CT--the bartender was so friendly and accommodating. She was extremely knowledgeable and even asked me my preference of Gin in a Negroni, and she went above and beyond to give me new information on a local Gin, one I had never heard of before. The Negroni was fantastic. My dinner was also good, not the best version of the dish I've ever had, but I have no complaints about it. The bartender's conversation with the bar guests really elevated the ambiance and I will definitely be returning! read more

The best thing was the outdoor seating, the boy reason we went there. The food was very mediocre at best. Not much flavor, the veggies were watery and tasteless. pasta was bland and not fresh. Our table service was rushed and had to flag down the server for a glass of wine. read more
