The service was good but the food was not great. First the salmon was undercooked so we returned it to the kitchen but we ended up sick from dinner afterwards. Unfortunately we won't be back.

The service was great and I loved that he knew the menu up and down and was able to help us make a decision based on asking us questions.The food was just as good as the service. My mom had the salmon in a lemon sauce and she said that it was the best salmon she had ever had. I had the flank steak and it was cooked perfectly. The veggies are flavorful and not over cooked, and the mashed potatoes were fluffy and flavorful.I hadn't been here since before COVID and I forgot how good Spiazzo is. You can't beat this place even at a much higher price point.

We dine here frequently and the food is always good but their service was off last night. We got seated for a 6:30 reservation within 5 minutes, but did not see a waitress until 7pm. They said they were down one waitress but she wasn't even in the dining room (was she helping cook in back?). The sweet hostess actually took our order and we asked for comped glasses of wine, which she obliged). The food was good (seafood ravioli, Ceasar salad, and prawn/scallop special). The bus boy at least gave us water during the 30 minute wait.

We had reservations and were even seated early. But the time we sat and the time we were actually served our meal was like 90 min.. way understaffed and the kitchen was overwhelmed. Lots of people in line waiting . Don't think they were prepared for so many People , but the hostess did say there were 3 pages of reservations!! So they had to know!! We saw other people who came after us get served and finished!! Our waitress was nice and apologetic but frantic and working as fast as she could..food was good and we do like the restaurant but they just plan well on staff for Valentine's Day...

We were seated outside. There was a heater, which did not work. We mentioned this to the staff. They said they would attend to it, but that never happened. :( So we ate in a relative cold of Feb outside....

The food was very good as usual. However, I ordered the fettuccine with salmon. While it was good, there was a bit of a fishy taste that wasn't too cool. The service was good considering how busy the restaurant was. There was some lax service toward the end of the evening. This was odd considering there were only a couple of parties in the restaurant at the time. It was also very chilly sitting in the path of the doorway. I have had more pleasing items from the menu in past visits.

The food is pretty good. However, the servers will allow non-service dogs inside the restaurant, which is disgusting and unsanitary. I even watched the server pet the dog and then continue to work without washing her hands! The board of health should check in on this place given their unsafe food practices.

Delightful restaurant with friendly staff and well-prepared comfort food. Our server, Johnny, is a darling and checks in often to see that all is going well. It can get difficult to communicated when the place is packed, but it not as crowded and made for a perfect evening to chat and enjoy the ambience. Love that they still serve bread with the most amazing dipping sauce.
We sat outside, and service was a bit slow. Also, it was chilly, but they didn't ask if we wanted a heater - and, we had to ask for the heater to be moved when another table left as they only had the one heater.

Very cozy and nice neighborhood Italian restaurant. Menu is dependable for classic Italian pastas and entree's. Tiramisu is excellent. Calamari fritti is great. Service is attentive and friendly.

My fiance and I dined here for NYE. It was pretty packed and noisy. We did have reservations so it was no big deal. We waited about five minutes to be seated. The service was okay considering it was a holiday. The spaghetti and halibut were good. We will come again but not on a holiday.

Extensive, varied, and creative selections. We especially enjoyed the salads: INSALATA CON LE PERE and INSALATA DI SPINACI. We also ordered the pesto chicken ravioli and a CAPRICIOSA pizza. There were four of us and we had it served family style . It was nice that we could order from both the lunch and dinner menus. Very reasonable $$ for the quality and gourmet experience. We took a long time to order because it's a big menu and everything sounded so good! You really cannot go wrong with anything you order.
