My family and I love coming here and being served by Steven. He is always welcoming and very friendly. He remembers us really well even though we don't come here frequently. The food here is amazing and they have the best wines. The restaurant is always clean and it's such a calm atmosphere here. read more

After steadily eating here for 5 years and a hundred plus times Tonight took the cake At 8 pm when virtually empty and no one waiting to a table We were refused at table ( a 4 top) due to the fact we were only two The place was half empty !! The mgr ( a bearded d bag) told us " it wouldn't be fair to the " other " people There was one problem There WERE NO other people He clearly thinks it's the four seasons instead of a local red so/ so red sauce joint We could see if it was a promotional night or earlier in the night - but it wasn't We sat at a 4 top table as two -- MANY MANY NIGHTS BEFORE Our normal waiter ( who we've always tipped generously in the past - despite some service lapses Did nothing to help us or accommodate us in any way , and walked away from me. Santa Monica restaurants ... Please respect you customers better Terrible way to treat local regulars. We won't be back He needs training and an attitude adjustment read more

My girlfriends LOVE coming to Spumoni especially on Mondays when mostly everything on the menu is 50% off. We usually start out with the chopped salad it's so light and refreshing. I've tried a few of their homemade pastas and they're all amazing but the carbonara tonight was amazing, so creamy. We paired it with some garlic bread to wipe up the extra sauce. Funny enough we always get sat in the same section with the same server and he's always great. Despite it always being super busy on Mondays, all the staff is super nice and welcoming. They take walk ins but the wait might be long so come right at 5! read more

Spumoni absolutely delivered from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The pizza had the perfect balance of crisp crust and quality toppings, and everything tasted like it was made with real care and attention. You can tell they take pride in what comes out of the kitchen. Our waitress, Tracey, was exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind without hovering. She anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask and made the entire experience feel personal and relaxed. Service like that makes all the difference. The ambience is cozy yet elevated, with a welcoming energy that works just as well for a casual dinner as it does for a special night out. Between the food, the service, and the overall atmosphere, it was a five star experience. I will absolutely be back. read more

Spumoni - They did a yummy Salmon and vegan specialty - Italian Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Came in for lunch. Did the half pasta and salad lunch special for about $17. I did gnocchi with pesto and Italian salad and my bf did rigatoni bolognese with Caesar salad. Food was ok, nothing special that would make me come back. Pesto had an interesting flavor like seafood was in it but it wasn't. Also interesting seeing carrots on an Italian salad but hey! Whatever works, right? Didn't taste bad! Also Caesar salad is from Mexico... so I'd probably call this place Italian fusion lol. Anywho, our server was kind. They filled up quick after we sat down. read more

This place is always packed despite the ratings! We sat outside with the dogs and they brought us a big bowl of water. Great service! There are flowers on the tables and nice Italian music playing in the background the place is quaint but the design isn't going to knock your socks off. Food was pretty good! They brought out bread to start, which was pretty good and I got the Mezza Luna pasta. My husband got the calzone - enjoyed both! Not fantastic but decent! read more

Last night we ordered a calzone and a Caesar salad on DoorDash. When the delivery man arrived at Spumoni, he picked up the salad (which was in a bag) and left the calzone (in a pizza box). Clearly they were next to each other, but the guy didn't look. He was probably on the same call he was on when he dropped the delivery off at our door. Anyway, the delivery guy took off before we realized he only brought us a salad. When we called the restaurant, the manager came on the phone, and said, "What's your address? We'll handle it. Be there in 5 min." A few minutes later, their personal delivery person was at our door. Standing on business! Thanks, Spumoni! read more

Had the best time here for Father's Day dinner. Staff was incredibly kind and had many amazing recommendations! Can't ever go wrong with their pizza and delicious pasta! Parking in the back is a little tight but you can park in front on the street. Really cute restaurant and has amazing options for everyone read more

Incredible food and service. My family and I have been coming to Spumonis for years. It's such a staple in the neighborhood. I love the chopped salad, and the pastas and pizzas are amazing. Really authentic Italian and the tiramisu is sooo incredible. 5 stars!!! read more

I am so happy they're still here and open after all these years! What a wonderful experience from the moment we found plenty of parking in the back to be seated immediately on an Easter Sunday. We dined early and were pleasantly surprised at such a wonderful ambiance. The food was amazing! The calamari was piping hot and the sauce delicious. Two generous pasta entrees, and a huge portion of calamari came to $70 which I felt was very reasonable. We have plenty for lunch tomorrow. read more

I don't know why, but I really don't like it here. This was my third visit, hoping I might finally find something good. I ordered the minestrone soup and the fettuccine Alfredo. The minestrone was very bland--the carrots were soggy, the broth had no flavor, and it even tasted oddly sweet. The fettuccine Alfredo was alright. I wouldn't call it bad since it was fairly tasty, but the sauce lacked flavor and came off a little bland. The service is nice, but the ambiance doesn't feel cozy to me. read more

Just seems really chaotic and crazy. We found a hair in our salad and sent it back because there was no way a small white hair was any of ours. Then my mom found a black hair in her salmon pink sauce pasta. And they took it away and tried charging us for it. Just felt too disorganized snd messy. They did remove it after I asked again. They did not intentionally try to make our experience bad however it's staffed with all men and men tend to be messy snd gross. Overall 4/10 read more

I was with some friends this evening and the four of us met at Spumoni, located at 713 Montana Avenue in Santa Monica at 7th. Spumoni is both a trattoria and pizzeria with a full menu of salads, antipasti, pastas (fresh), carne, gnocchi, pollo, and New York Style Pizza. There was a discounted price off the menu for certain dishes which was very appealing and a great way to build a following! This is a popular venue with a bar and about twenty-five tables in an attractive setting. The waiters and servers are first rate, and they also deliver as you can visit them online at www.spumonirestaurants.com As a group we shared a Chopped Salad ($16) as well as a Prosciutto & Burrata $17). Both were excellent. Their bread is first rate and I had the Cavatelli Broccoli Rabe ($26), another had the Gnocchi ($24), one had the Ravioli ($25) and our other guest had the Pizza Diavola ($28). Two within our party had a glass of Chianti while I had an Arnold Palmer. Our food was delivered together and in a timely manner and everyone was happy with their selections. We arrived around 7:45PM so we didn't get the chance to order (hard 9PM close) dessert, but the appetizers and meals were filling and delightful. Spumoni has a local following and on a Monday we had to wait to get in which is always a good sign for quality Italian food. While I rarely stray from Venice, I was very impressed with the decor, food and service. Their number is (310) 393-2944 and reservations might be wise on a Friday or Saturday evening. Spumoni is a home run for any budget, and I will be back for more. RECOMMEND! read more

Wife's been to here for years and is still coming here. Nice pastas, decent vibe. Service has been slow some days and spot on others. I really like their eggplant parm. They've got a small bar and I like their salads fine as does wife. read more

Came here after Montana Nail! Was able to order bruschetta off menu & they gave me 2 mozza sticks for some reason. Lol I also got their salmon bowtie pasta which is not often on menus so was glad to find it. Loved the outdoor seating, free parking in back, heat lamps, and customer service. They also have special discounts on Monday, Wed, and for happy hour. read more

We came here on a Monday night due to Monday madness where your whole bill is 50% - what a deal! We got the chopped salad to start which was delicious. We split the mushroom pasta and the chicken limone. The mushroom pasta was very heavy and too salty. The chicken was fresh with a good sauce and vegetables. Overall, good deal on Monday but would not recommend the full price of the meal. read more

Neighborhood Italian eatery with 50% off food on Mondays from 5pm-9pm. They also have happy hour every day. I've been here a few times and really enjoyed the handmade pastas. The funghi pasta is very creamy with al dente pasta. The chicken and mushroom pasta is also a good choice if you want a lighter meal. They provide complimentary bread which comes freshly baked in addition to an olive oil/tapenade. The place can get quite busy but service is always nice. Indoor and outdoor heated seating is available. Credit cards accepted. Metered street parking. Overall, a cute spot for a casual date night or catch up. read more

Service: who knows bc place was empty. Our waiter was very attentive. Who know how he'd b if restaurant was full. Fibe: cool. No sense of Italy. Clean, simple. Food: both friend & I ordered lasagna bellonise. Ground meat low quality. Eaten several bites, just meat and as poor as any fast food joint. Pasta, over cooked. Sauce bland. Probably a gd salad or pizza place. I'd go back but not for 'dishes'. They care about ur experience. Just not level to deserve to charge the max $$. read more

On Monday night, they advertise 50% off on all meals. But once you order, many of the items turn out not to be eligible, so you have to pay full price for the meal. This has to be corrected. Otherwise, the food is delicious and the service efficient. read more

We love Spumoni! Ted does not know what he's taking about. Been coming here since 1996. Service is excellent and the food is tasty.

I had a most disappointing experience at Spumoni on Montana Ave, Santa Monica. I ordered Spaghetti Portofino with a side of chopped salad; and received Spaghetti Bolognese with the receipt dabbed in the red pasta sauce and stapled to the to go bag. I told the hostess this was the wrong order and she replied "oh, you ordered the Spaghetti Portofino - that's my fault." It took 15 minutes to receive my pasta and I asked if I received any kind of discount for their mistake. She said I'd have to call the online service I used for a discount. I am a longtime customer of Spumoni on Montana, but it will be a very long time before I eat there again - read more

Late night dinner at this spot. Had been driving by and never visited so I thought I would try it as I was solo. Fausto served me. Good sense of humor and let me try a few wines. Great service. A few waiters around attentive and just there without overpowering you. Comfortable atmosphere. Liked that. Sat inside in a hot day.... Tapenade and bread. Nice start. A little loaf in a napkin with the heavily coarse tapenade with olive oil. Very nice. Too nice. I ordered a white wine it was ok. The SB was ok. Not overly flavorful. The barbera was better...Chiarlo makes great wine. Starter was the beet and goat cheese salad. Large size. Lots of beets and many many olives for a terrific flavor. Salt in the olives balanced the taste and drew out more flavor. Solid dressing. Heavy on arugula and greens which I loved. The side pasta was excellent. A side of spaghetti cooked perfectly Al dente. Bed of Arabiata sauce. Thanks Fausto. Delicious. Firm pasta with a zesty sauce. Great experience. I recommend this place!!! read more

Why come here? They have a 50% off happy hour Monday-Thursday from 5-6pm! Call ahead though to confirm as it does seem like they change their happy hour days and times on a moment's notice. We actually came on Friday for the happy hour but they had just changed their policy, welp! The indoor seating will typically be bustling while there are two spots to sit outside either in a covered patio or right on the sidewalk. Both have heaters so you'll stay warm. Friendly staff and good spot if you're looking for a happy hour and want to try a local restaurant! read more

Lovely place for a date or alone. Came on a Monday for their incredible 50% off most food special. Just 2 entrees and we couldn't finish the pizza. Very fresh and tasty. The olive tapenade for the bread is really good. Nice service even though it's busy. I'll be back. read more

Monday night halvsies. This charming family style restaurant near the beach has a loyal following and the service and speed at which they turnover tables is impressive. The ambiance is casual and somewhat lively. The tables are all laid out in a manner where you can get privacy but still feel connected to a restaurant experience. The Casio e Pepe is to die for. Chicken Marsala also a standout. Get the Tiramisu. So creamy and delicious. read more

They used to have 50% off their menu on Mondays but now it's everyday on weekdays from 430-6!!! Due to this amazing deal, it gets really packed during this time period. The deal cannot be beat in this area. However, the food taste is ok only. Nothing out of this world and nothing worth craving for. The cioppino is pretty decent. If you order during the discounted menu, you must eat more than half before taking the rest home. So you can't technically order the whole menu and take it all to go to benefit from the amazing price, but you can come back the day after again and again! At the full price, there are better Italian options elsewhere, but definitely a great spot for early dinners at the discounted rates. My most fav item at this place was actually the olive tapenade with their house bread. Would come here just for that! read more

Wasn't bad for an Italian restaurant. Location is great, right on Montana. There's plenty of street parking, metered as well as parking in the residential area. Check sighs to be cautious as well as parking in the lot. A few of us got together and caught up during lunch. Service was good starting off but it got kind of got slow during lunch. It did seem short staff for the lunch rush. Also, it took a while to actually order a starter as there was maybe two waiters. But beside that, we did enjoy our time here. The staters was good, as well as portions. Didn't take long to come out. Also, they do have a wide array of wine from the list. Food, every dish we food was great. The flavors were good, plentiful for sharing. Pasta was great. Finished off the meal with a couple of desserts which was great as well. Overall, food was good. Service was slow during the lunch hour but did notice a lot more of staff come towards the dinner hour. read more

A friend invited me to lunch. She suggested Spumoni. As I always do with someplace I haven't been before, I looked at the reviews on Yelp. Spumoni looked good, so we had lunch at Spumoni today. When I looked at the menu online before we went there I saw Penne Arrabbiata. I like Penne Arrabbiata so that's what I had. It was very good. My friend and her other friend both had the Matteo Salad. They both said it was very good. Had the option to add meat to the Penne Arrabbiata which I didn't do. Also didn't have any of the optional cheese on my Penne Arrabbiata. My friend said she comes to Spumoni fairly often, even though she has to drive back to Malibu in the afternoon traffic. Spumoni is so good people don't mind getting stuck in traffic to eat there. We had a good time at Spumoni but the two old ladies (they looked even older than us and we are 75) at a nearby table had a bottle of Champagne to go with their lunch and they were having a better time than we were. read more

Great spot on Montana. They offer both indoor and outdoor dining. The food is tasty and the price is very reasonable for this area. If you visit during M-F, most items are 50% from 4:30-6pm. I believe corkage is $10. Complimentary Olive Tapenade with Olive Oil - 5/5 My entire family hates olives but we really enjoy the tapenade here! House wine - 5/5 Great pour and tasty. Garlic Bread - 3/5 Nothing special. Calzone - 5/5 My kid loves this. It's huge and loaded with mozzarella. Our server was nice to provide an extra side of marinara sauce at extra no charge. Salmon Pasta - 4/5 This is a solid dish that we always order when we dine here. It's a bit greasy but still good and they don't skimp on salmon. Pollo Saltimbocca - 3/5 This is a good, albeit salty, entrée that we've ordered several times before. However, the chicken was overcooked this time around. Potatoes and vegetables were great. read more

When the service is bad, it doesn't much matter what the food is like. I wanted to like this restaurant--cute, close to where my daughter lives--but getting the most basic things like wine and dessert were a chore. We had lasagna, Branzino, chicken with prosciutto, the carbonara and the Italian salad, which were all very good except the carbonara, which outside of the pancetta lacked flavor. We wrapped it up with the Torta Dela Nona, the chocolate cakes and some great cappuccinos. Had the service been better, it would have been a 4.25 or 4.5 meal, but service counts. read more

First time here and it definitely exceeded my expectations. Everyone working here was attentive and just on it. I ordered the chopped salad and it was really fresh and a pretty generous portion. It was happy hour and all of the food was 50% off, amazing. With its location being at the heart of Montana, ghetto environment in this place is the perfect blend of upscale but comfortable. Doesn't feel stuffy! Will definitely be coming back! read more

We have ordered several times from here because the pasta is great. This is the last and final order. I placed the order an hour in a half ago and still have no food. I called the restaurant and was put on hold for 10 mins while they were supposed to check on it and needed to call back and still got put on hold. They have told me several times my order was coming. I'm so frustrated very this restaurant and the incompetency of having a delivery on time and the phone people just lie and tell you what you want to hear. I'm DONE!! Will be finding a much better Italian restaurant. read more

Spinach salad very delicious BUT Eggplant Parmesan was not cooked enough. I could hardly cut it with a knife. I took it home and tried to cook it till it was soft enough to eat but still too hard. Pizza was good and so was the chicken Parmesan. Do your self a favor and do not order Eggplant read more

Food and service are both excellent, have gotten to know Jamie, one of the chefs, and he cooks what we want, whether on or off menu.

Amazing Italian restaurant with a 50% off deal on Mondays. I love the pappardelle porcini since they give you a lot of high quality mushrooms. My girlfriend ordered the Amaratriciana that was great too! There might be a wait for a table, so try to get there early on Mondays. Street parking available. Credit card accepted.

What an amazing Italian restaurant located in Montana! Let's start off with the complimentary bread and olive dip its by far the yummiest "bread and butter" I have ever had everything is always so fresh and so flavorful but my favorite thing about this place is the speed everything comes out so fast it's amazing! I LOVE the Caesar salad with chicken it's so so good honestly you can't order anything wrong here. I like to try different entrees every-time I come here and tonight I decided to order the homemade Pappardelle Porcini which was sooo good! I love a good mushroom cream sauce and the size of the noodle was just perfection. I can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu! Highly recommended good italian restaurant! read more
