We have not been to Spuntino for some time (we live pretty far south now) It's always been one of our favorite spots. Frankly we were a little disappointed. both the fettuccini and the gnocchetti were undercooked. Before you give me the al dente spiel, I know Italian food and know what al dente is. Both could have used about another 2 minutes of cook time. The Carbonara sauce was downright watery. No creaminess to the sauce, it appeared the pasta might not have been drained well before adding it to the pan. The upside is that the gnocchetti's sauce was delicious. As was our appetizer. This is a beautiful little spot, and the service is always top notch. read more

The ambiance, service and food is top notch. Our waiter described the menu items so eloquently. He described the Capellini Aglio e Olio as having the heart of Italy and possessing the spirit of India. We were sold! Then he described my Pappardelle as being garden fresh in the depths of winter. They were both delicious, very flavorful and yet light. We also had the Focaccia e Ricotta with fresh roasted garlic and ricatta cheese and olive oil, the middle was so soft. Finally got the mango dessert and that was a great way to end the delicious meal! Price was good. Service was very attentive and super nice. read more

My boyfriend selected this spot for our anniversary dinner and surprised me with the plans. It was perfect for the occasion! This place is so cute with the best vibes. Not too fancy but still serving innovative flavors and excelled food. Our table was pretty much in the middle of the room but was still comfortable and far enough from our neighbors that we felt we had privacy. The food was delicious, the service was fast and warm. Would hope to come back here at some point and try some more dishes. read more

I had driven past this gem for years and finally went for a friends birthday. Bar happy hour Monday, Wednesday and Thursday open to 7:30 with a few small bites and discounts on drinks. Services was very quick at the bar and friendly. Small restaurant with limited tables but with all of the windows it felt open and intimate at the same time. Italian Indian fusion was the most insane combo and I will be back to eat everything from the menu read more

Spuntino is aggressively mid. The prices for each dish reflect a finer establishment but the food is average at best. If you like a place with a nice ambiance and decor than Spuntino is for you, if you are looking for a $30 pasta to blow you away, then I would recommend you try elsewhere. Of the few dishes we tried I would not recommend any of my friends or family go out of their way to try them. Our waitress was great and extremely patient with some older guests with us. This is why I am giving Spuntino 3 stars. read more

4 stars for the food and ambience, but 5 stars because John (our waiter) is a HUGE asset to Spuntino and made my boyfriends birthday an unforgettable one. He was *awesome.* Interior is intimate and welcoming. Menu is Italian food; shorter, concise, with some fun Indian-influenced dishes or elements peppered throughout. Ideal restaurant for a date night! Ordered: *some kind of bottle of Andre Robert champagne *marinated Losada olives *Burrata w/ apple butter/pine nuts/sliced apples *Granchio (crab salad/potato cake/herbs) *Verdure (rotating veggie selection of small bites) *Giardino (marinated cauliflower entree) *Pasta of the Day (Pesto Cream Sauce) Verdure was a great choice! Came on a board with various pickled veggies, mushroom pâté, corn succotash, butternut squash fritters, and a super fresh fennel/carrot salad. Everything was pretty delicious but the burrata was a standout, especially since I don't love apples! Giardino entree could have used more sauce on the plate. I hated the Granchio but it's because I've finally, FINALLY realized I just don't have to like crab (as I've now had it served in like 20 different ways!) The ll Gufo cocktail I enjoyed was on point. So I don't want to get too much into the exceptional service because of some of you weirdos ("but this Yelp reviewer got THIS!!" type of thing) but John is incredibly knowledgeable regarding everything on the menu, and was so fun to chat with about tequila types and differences. He taught and showed us a few things for sure! He was on point with us every step of our meal, and really solidified the fact that we chose a great celebration place :) read more

Seeking an authentic and extra special way to ring in our girl's mini-bachelorette party, I scoured Yelp for just the place. Well, Spuntino def won the honor and exceed our expectations ten-fold. LOCATION: Located in Highland Park close to Zuni and 32nd, Spuntino offers ample nearby street parking in this wonderfully walkable neighborhood. They have converted a portion of their small parking lot to accommodate outdoor dinning during these times. SPACE/ATMOSPHERE: Dimly lit and intimate. Def a great spot for a date night or a celebration with close friends. It had a wonderfully charming atmosphere with exposed brick about and lots of natural wood. DRINKS: Spuntino features an ever-changing drool worthy wine list that is bound to pique any vino lover's interest. For this particular evening, most of us opted for cocktails. Our server (more about him later) was incredibly knowledgeable about the drink menu and a few choice substitutions that really made the bevvies perfect for our group. I chose The House of Tom Bombadil - Family Jones Gin, Spuntino Liquore allo Zafferano, citrus, soda, and Amaro Sibilla. It was wonderfully refreshing and perfect for my gin loving heart. EATS: Everything is made in house here. Literally EVERYTHING! The menu is small, which I love, because they focus on a killer limited selection of authentic eats versus trying to do it all. Several of us chose the Capellini Aglio e Olio - handmade strand pasta, Indian spice-preserved garlic, Corto olive oil, garlic breadcrumbs, with a 63° egg. Now, the egg may sound odd, but it really was delicious and def something to experience! My fellow diners also noshed on a variety of others deliciously crafted eats. DESSERT: For dessert we chose to share a variety of sweets including: truffle, budino, and two gelato trios - because we just had to try all the gelato. Everything was delicious. I have to say I preferred the budino to the other desserts. With buttermilk custard, house-made cinnamon waffle cone, and caramelized pears - where can you go wrong?! SERVICE: I don't even know where to begin. John was so incredibly personable. He answered all our questions about the menu, made wonderful recommendations, checked back with us frequently, and ensured that the bill was split perfectly at our request. I can easily say our experience wouldn't have been complete without his wonderful care. Spuntino absolutely exceeded our expectations. While the experience was a bit pricey, it was def a great way to send our friend into wedded-bliss. I wouldn't hesitate to come back for more celebrations in the future! **COVID NOTE: They are still requiring proof of vaccination and masks when moving about the restaurant. read more

Spuntino is a perfect spot for dinner, drinks, and apps. Small, simple menu, great wine list, cool LoHi vibe, and impeccable service. I dropped a star from this almost-perfect dinner due to price. The food is very good, but at a relatively high price--dinner for 3 with a bottle of wine was $260. Strongly recommend the burrata, which is a touch better than the ricotta cheese app. The lasagna is cool looking but only slightly above average--that said, not sure how much anyone can do with lasagna. The condition duck ravioli had the best flavor for a lighter dish. The star entree was the half chicken. Great flavor profile and very filling. Let your biggest appetite in the group tackle that. The servers were exceptional and the start-to-finish experience was non-pretentious, warm and comfortable. Spuntino is a top 10, maybe top 5, spot in the Denver metro and worth reserving early and returning often. read more

My favorite restaurant - crushed that I live in NYC and can only come here when visiting family. Their unique flavor fusions are so amazing, and the waiters are SO knowledgeable about the menu and what to recommend based on what you like. We accidentally closed the place out, but there was no feeling of being rushed - just amazing people cultivating an amazing dinner vibe. Can't wait to come back! read more

My third time at Spuntino and this time was very disappointing. The first two times were great but between the service and the food both were a total miss. I don't think I'll go back again. Our server took about ~8 min to get to our table to greet us and take our drink order. It was busy for a Wednesday night but still, that wasn't acceptable. For the rest of our meal, the service was overall slow. There were points where we almost had to flag our server down to get their attention. Now onto the food. Every dish was disappointing. We started with the Arancini which was super salty and more like a croquet than arancini. The best dish was the Aglio olio which was large portion and somewhat flavorful but I've had that before and it wasn't as good this time. The lamb shank and Kofta/Gnocchi dishes were total misses. Lamb shank was cold and the rice that came with it had no flavor and was also cold. The Kofta/Gnocchi was all fried and way too heavy with no freshness. Sad to write this review and perhaps only ordering the pasta dishes is the way to go because that's what we did the other two visits. read more

Food was excellent. Great fusion of traditional italian flavors with some Indian kick. The Fazoletti was the best dish we had. The pork ragu was incredibly flavorful. The Raviolini was also very tasty. The vegetable platter was flavorful (big fan of the onion ring pakora) but a bit underwhelming regarding the mix of veggies and presentation. read more

A few months before my husband and I got married, my dad asked me for some nice restaurant options around Denver, supposedly so that one of our family friends could buy his niece a gift card for graduation. I looked around on Yelp for about 30 minutes for nicer restaurants with great rating. This family friend of our decided to get the gift card from Spuntino, and gave it to us as a wedding gift. What a FANTASTIC restaurant to get a gift card to. We came here for a few special occasions and nice date nights, each time so impressed with our experience. Don't go in a hurry. The staff is very polite, and takes their time which allows you to enjoy your time with who you're with. The food is top notch. Pasta is handmade so you don't leave feeling bloated. Flavors are always incredible. I just simply can't say enough great things about this place. A few notes: lighting is a bit dim, and they're currently checking to see if you're vaccinated. Reservations highly recommended! read more

I cannot say enough to quantify my first experience here. I wish I would have dined here sooner! The space is lovely. Food and wine absolutely incredible. But the real star here is the staff. Ari and Janine just made our day. It was my partners birthday and we were spoiled after a bad experience (elsewhere) earlier that day. I'd come back just to hang out with those two. But the food was inventive and I'd come back for that as well. All around thumbs up, definitely go and give love to the incredible employees!!! read more

Spuntino - Tagliatelle - Italian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

In what's becoming a tradition in my yearly trips to Denver, Spuntino is a highlight of the many places I've dined. As I've said before, the food is as fresh as can be, with unique offerings that change by the season. My beloved Capellini Agloo is no longer on the menu, but in its place are a dozen other wonderful dishes that stack up against some of the best you've had. The new spin on arancini is wonderful, packed with fontina cheese and perfectly crispy with just a light fry. The burrata was equally delicious, paired with peaches and candied pistachios. The most memorable dish of the evening was the malai kofka gnocchi, seared dumplings served atop Indian-spiced tomato sauce, toasted cashews, and cilantro. This was out of this world, a wonderfully fusion of Italian and Indian that has put, and kept, Spuntino on the map. I can't wait to be back next year to see what else they've cooked up! read more

We made a reservation for 5:45pm on a Thursday but turned out to be unnecessary. Two of us shared the elk tartare which comes with these salty fried noodles. Our waiter gave us bread too but not sure if that usually comes with it or not - the bread was a nice touch but wished it was slightly toasted. The elk itself was very good - solid pieces of meat for texture but so refreshingly seasoned (a lot more green than expected once you cut into it), you'll also taste some curry powder in there ($18). The pastas were much less impressive despite all of them being housemade. I got the capellini and friend got the pasta of the day (fettuccine with mushroom) - both $24. Primarily, the pastas weren't cooked Al dente, and mine is particular was very mushy. Waiter described it as 'Indian ramen' and that certainly was more the case but even ramen noodles should be cooked more firmly. The daily pasta mushroom sauce I enjoyed more than mine, although it was a tad more rich than I would like. read more

Food: Elk tartare - good Buffala - ok but the outside is a bit tough Cavatelli with cacio e pepe - a bit too soupy for me; the cavatelli pasta itself wasn't as flavorful Gnocchi - very good Capellini - too sour and soupy for me Affogato - ok read more

I think Sputino is one of those mid/fancy places that truly fly under the radar. It's perfect for a date night, but doesn't feel overly stuffy. Loved the Capellini Aglio Olio with perfect pasta texture and the fusion of Indian spices makes it such an innovative dish. Would also recommend getting whatever is the pasta special of the day. Great wine selection as well, with a range of prices so there's something for everyone. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and accommodating to all our questions. It's been a while since I've been back, but definitely need to make another trip back! read more

Firstly, the neighborhood this restaurant is located in is really beautiful and welcoming. The restaurant itself is in a small almost row home looking building but really opens up when you walk in the door. The smells coming from the open kitchen hit you immediately and it is wonderful! We had a reservation and sat immediately. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the wine selection, which was really helpful as we are not as familiar with Italian wines. I got the Bourbonator which was delicious! The lemon, basil, and bourbon went so well together. For appetizers, we ordered the the focaccia with the roasted garlic which was very good. Then we got the arancini. It was really good with the yogurt sauce under to mix with the Indian spiced risotto balls. For pasta, we got the Malai Koftagnocchi and giardino. Both were good, but the gnocchi was awesome! I could have eaten several orders of it. For proteins, we got the pollo Al mattone and agnello. The lamb fell off the bone with a spoon it was so tender. It was the best thing we had for the dinner and would go back just for that dish alone. The chicken had crispy skin and the risotto with pancetta was a really nice touch. Overall we ate so much we didn't leave room for dessert but we did not regret one bite. Such an awesome meal! read more

From start to finish, our anniversary dinner was spectacular thanks to the staff, food, and drinks at Spuntino! We were greeted by John at the front of the house. A very warm welcome to start things off. Our waitress was one of the best!! She gave incredible suggestions and was funny, warm, and inviting! It was also her birthday, so it was special to be able to share her day with her. We ordered the elk tartare, salumi board, and the pasta special for the night (mushroom fettuccini with miso cream sauce. For dessert, we ordered the Italian donuts and the gelato tasting trio. The highlight of the night, besides the incredible food and our waitress, was the owner explaining the different amaros we ordered. He even makes his own, so it was extremely special to try! Overall, we cannot wait to come back! read more

Outside the restaurant, the scene is dead. Even on a Saturday night, on a long weekend, the scene is of a weeknight in a small rustic town. But the inside that counts. It's packed inside. You should definitely make a reservation. Otherwise be ready for a long wait. The cuisine is Italian with a dash of Indian. They have the usual appetizer, salad, pasta, and main sections. You will find slight Indian ingredients in a couple of the dishes. The menu is on the small side. They specialize in the dishes they make and they make them well. I can honestly say I liked all the dishes we tried. The servers were very nice and well informed about the dishes. They seemed genuinely excited to serve us. I full heartedly recommend this restaurant! read more

I loved the ambiance of this place. A tight space but put together well. Feels modern and busy. Our server was great and gave us many recommendations. I got the Tagliatelle and it was unique and delicious. It was a heavy dish so I wouldn't recommend if you were hoping for something light. Even better the next day as leftovers. We got the focaccia with roasted garlic for an app and overall I wish it came with more bread. We had lots of cheese and garlic but only enough bread to eat about half of it. The parking was street parking but everyone in my party found parking within 2 blocks for a 8pm Sunday reservation. They also gave us a free Tartufo al Cioccolato to celebrate my birthday! At first you think the serving is super small but after heavy pasta and the dessert's richness, you have no complaints! read more

Cute restaurant with an open kitchen and friendly staff. The food is WONDERFUL but pricey. I say it's worth it. I visited as a party of 6. Appetizers we tried were arancini, burrata, and focaccia with ricotta. They were all wonderful. I especially liked the artichoke in the arancini and the garlic in the other two dishes. I had the Aglio di Olio which was like an Italian ramen with Indian spices, delicious. My party also tried the pasta of the day which was a singing nettle pesto and the gnocchi in an Indian sauce. Everything we tried was delicious, but the Aglio di Olio was my favorite. We were too stuffed for dessert, but split a single golf ball sized scoop of olive oil gelato which was unique and refreshing. The total with included gratuity for 6 entrees, 4 appetizers, 2 glasses of wine, and one scoop of gelato was $316 which is pricey but very reasonable for the quality. The only negative was speed of service. It took about 45 minutes to get our appetizers and one was forgotten. Entrees we're served 1 hour and 15 minutes after we sat down, even though we put in our orders for food at the same time as appetizers. read more

Wow. Few restaurants have made me so completely satisfied, but Spuntino and team are one of them. If you have not been, you need to go. Ambience: the space is cozy and intimate with dark, moody lighting, nice music at an appropriate volume and some candles! The service: impeccable. Ira was our server and she made the night fantastic. She was very knowledgeable about the food, answered all questions, and treated us to some extras over a snafu at the beginning of the evening. In fact, every person who came to our table were incredible friendly, warm and welcoming. It seems everyone who works there loves their job and the restaurant, it's palpable. I cannot say enough about the service here. The food: O.M.G. I'm still dreaming about this dinner. We started with the Arancini with hatch green chili and cilantro cream. May be the best Arancini I've had. The burrata with apple butter...go now and get this. The apple butter is to die for and mixes so nicely with pickled apples and the creamy burrata. We ordered the pappardelle with goat from Salida. This is truly one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The sauce itself is out of this world. The capellini aglio et olio is a signature dish from the brilliant chef. With Indian inspired flavors and a soft boiled egg, garlic heaven. This dish is not to miss. In fact, this dish is worth the trip in and of itself. We were treated to delectable chocolate truffles and the olive oil tarta. Both were perfect finishes to an unforgettable evening. Cocktails: the bartender is an awesome woman who made us an off the menu drink as an added apology to the beginning of the evening which was out of this world- gin and herbal tea. Wow. The black Manhattan and boozy cherry are a must try. And the lambrusco. Divine! I cannot say enough amazing things about this restaurant. I dare say it's my favorite in Denver. We will be back. read more

Came here last week on a whim since I was craving Italian. The interior is a relaxed fine-ish dining vibe that you definitely are not obligated to dress up for. The dishes we ordered were the following: -Capellini Aglio e Olio: Tasted quite good, definitely leaned a lot heavier into the Indian flavor profile than anticipated. Almost gave garlicky butter chicken sauce vibes. Overall it was really good, but not quite the flavor I was expecting. Most unique pasta I have tried in a while. -Mezzelune: My partner had this and the filling was killer, the pasta however was very thick and dense making the experience rather chewy distracting you from the overall flavor of the dish. For unique Italian I definitely recommend this restaurant. However if you are craving an Italian flavor profile specifically, I would either ask your server what dishes have less of an Indian flavor profile specifically, or to go to a Italian-only restaurant. read more

The meal was delicious! A bunch of us shared different dishes. Not a bad one in the bunch.

What an incredible Italian date night... best food, best experience.. my new favorite date night! It came highly recommended from a dear friend that's been to Italy many times & stated how authentic and creative the food is.. and she was spot on... we went to Italy for two weeks in October and this experience at Spuntino was so nostalgic. From start to finish, your experience won't be rushed, you'll be welcomed like family, and leave with a full belly & happy heart! The chef is from south India but incredibly well traveled so the food has a few Indian spices in traditional but creative Italian dishes. The restaurant was small & a little noisy but to be expected on a Friday night. Our server, Jeanine, was so genuine and passionate about each dish, carefully asking the flavors we like & don't like, and putting together a few courses that were all so divine. I'll break it down by drinks & food: Drinks: we started with the Black Manhattan while we chose our foods; it was boozy & delicious. For wine, they can suggest which will pair well with your meal. We tried the Barbaresco & the Super Tuscan, and both weren't exactly what we wanted... so when we described the notes that we liked from both, we arrived at a unique bottle of Ypsilon from the Oddities & Rarities menu, which has some super creative wines from vineyards & regions not typical (i.e. a red blend from the volcanic Lopari island off of Sicily). YUM.. and only $66 versus the $80-120 price range I gave them! Food: our journey started with the warm olives & the focaccia with creamy ricotta. The olives weren't salty at all, almost a little citrusy & herbal. The focaccia was the right crunch & density which went well with the incredibly creamy ricotta (almost like butter, and I usually hate ricotta!). They also brought a little bit of their housemade bread too, adding a good salt/crunch balance. The Alce Crudo (elk tartare) was surprisingly delicious- it looks a little unappetizing but the flavors are absolutely incredible... try it!!! I got the Cappellini Aglio e Olio, their signature creamy pasta with Indian spices & a soft egg that adds to the creaminess of the dish... so savory, so unique, and maybe one of my favorite pasta dishes EVER. Joey had the Raviolini which had a good blend of sweet, savory & salty (proscuitto, Medjool dates & rich cheeses). Also super good but the cappellini & elk dishes stole the show :) To celebrate our anniversary, they brought a housemade truffle which was made with Gran Marnier so a hint of orange too.. yum! All in all, our experience at Spuntino was one for the books. We were there for almost 3 hours on a unique Italian journey with Indian touches that really set it apart from other Italian places in Denver. Do yourself a favor & book a reservation now.... you will not regret it!! :) read more

Visited from New York and was disappointed for a few reasons: 1) After reading reviewing and visualizations of the restaurant I imagined this was an intimate/private or somewhat romantic spot for dinner. We were greeted with an extremely large dining spot, very very loud. 2) Our server was more on the line than providing table service. Without context, she was just awkward with greeting and talking drink/food orders. Lacked genuine friendliness too. 3) The open kitchen is awful. We literally have to get our suits dry cleaned now; and of course wash everything else because we smell like straight-up oil. 4) Food was not crazy. Honestly it just pasta. Not sure what the value rating would be as it was OK, but yeah. My partner was unimpressed with the lasagna for $36, no meat. (But he may have high standards) read more

I'm updating my review after dining at Spuntino this week. The food was great overall, but there were a couple of "misses" in the service and one in the food that I wanted to flag. We had a reservation for my birthday, and the staff was really nice about wishing me happy birthday. But then we were sat in a (very!) dimly lit back room. I would recommend brighter lights and/or candles on the tables because it felt like we were dining in a closet! I wanted to take photos of my food but there wasn't enough light to do so :/ They then sat a loud party of six nearby, making it very difficult for me to hear my partner and converse without raising our voices. The final weird/uncomfortable part of the service experience is that -- even though she was aware it was my bday -- our server kept directing 90% of her conversation and 98% of her eye contact to my partner. I've never encountered this at a restaurant and I'm not sure if it's because she assumed he would be paying the bill, but it was weird. Spuntino has delivered such great service in the past, so it was a bummer to have them miss the mark on a special occasion. Service "pluses" -- the chef delivered a dish to our table and they brought me a bday truffle. The food was great overall on this trip! LOVED the granchio (lump crab salad on a potato pancake). But they sadly overcooked the egg on the capellini to the point that it was no longer runny, which was a bummer bc that really adds to the dish. read more

I celebrated my birthday at Spuntino and I am so glad this is the place I chose. The diners next to me told me they've won a James Beard Award for Hospitality, which is not surprising at all because the whole team took such good care of me including giving me a little birthday truffle. The service is so wonderful and the food is good - I especially recommend the elk tartare. I wish I had a bigger stomach because so many of their pastas and desserts sound so good and can't wait to come back again. read more

I am very particular in hospitality, was in the business as a bartender for 14 years, and trust my review. Greeting was great at the door, and Ari made us feel at ease as we sat down. I just had my car totaled earlier in the day on my birthday, so I needed it. We loved Ari so much that we were very sad to see her go, but the rest of the experience was still fantastic. Seamless transition to our server, Janine. We had the insalata and aranchini for appetizers, and they were fantastic. If you love gorgonzola like I do, get the salad. They had one more lasagna but I didn't get it. But, they took care of me as they read the sadness on my face. Possibly, they recognized my love of lasagna and knew I would come back, but I am a good poker player and thought I hid it (but they were spot on, and I have never played poker for a serving of lasagna). My wife got the tagliatelle and I got the Indian/Curry/Italian dish (capelinni aglio with egg) and we were both very happy. My wife and I actually battled over hers, but just know the tagliatelle was very green. The Costi Di Moro red wine was a lovely wine for your meal. I will be back for the lasagna without a doubt. This is a 6 out of 5, I hope you get Ari or Janine as your server, and know this was a decision I will never regret for any occasion. If you get Janine as the server, just say "get me whatever you recommend. Thanks." read more

Came here for an anniversary dinner because a number of food critics named Spuntino as one of the very best restaurants in Denver. This was a great choice. The entire staff made us feel special and welcome, from providing the best table overlooking the street and a welcome drink as well as the impeccable service. Janine, our server, was top notch, knowing every aspect of the menu and offering helpful suggestions for us to navigate all the choices on the menu. The Elk Tartare was delicious, full of flavor and almost melting in my mouth. The striped bass was mouthwatering, served with cous cous and braised carrots. Simply light and delicious. Spuntino was a really good wine selection, focused on Itay, and competitively priced/ affordable. The homemade truffle melted in my mouth and was a perfect way to complete the meal. Spuntino has a fun vibe, neighborhood feel, with friendly and welcoming staff. We will be back again soon. Thanks for making our special night so memorable. read more

Charming Italian restaurant!! The menu reads somewhat simple but the flavors are so inventive here! We had the Capellini Aglio e Olio and the Giardino. Giardino is great as a shared dish but not sure if I'd get it as an entree. Capellini is delicious - VERY garlicky. There are some subtle Indian influences on this cuisine, as the chef comes from an Indian background (and she's super young.... very impressive!!!) The thing that struck me most about this restaurant was the very comfy and homey feel. Definitely a great pick for an intimate night. read more
