italian food and the atmosphere at this place is great. This place is absolutely outstanding. I'll return friends next time.

Good. I didn't eat at the restaurant, maybe that would have been different. The food was tasty, but for the price not very substantial. I had the seasonal chicken risotto and a salad to go. I'm not in town long enough to return , but I would encourage you to dine in and take in what appeared to be a wonderful atmosphere. thanks

5 stars for closing! That is all. It’s what they get for closing down Starz a few years ago.

My favorite thing at Spezia is the Tomato Basil Bisque, it's delicious. The texture isn't gritty and the flavor is on point. I've gone here for many years and would say my experiences are generally all positive, some better than others, of course. Tonight my family and I had Tori as a server she was prompt and attentive and our food was served hot

I was surprise by each dish. Each dish had unique taste and the food was fresh. Although parking maybe tricky, I will probably make this by go to spot if I want to get Oysters or Cioppino

Even adults like to doodle while waiting for their food. They provide colors and the table is covered with a sheet of white paper over the entire top of a fine linen cloth. Service and food were great. Freshly grated at the table, the Parmesan cheese & other ingredients made the meal delicious! Appetizers , Soups & Salads all good.

Our waitress was a nightmare! We waited for over an hour for food, late in the evening. We arrived at 6:55 and it was 8:25 when we got our food. The people in the next booth were seated 10 mins after us and got their food 30 minutes before us. Then the food was subpar for the price. There was barely any sauce on my pasta and the pasta was mushy. And again, the waitress was snotty and rude! Down right snippy. She seemed mad that we didn't order alcoholic drinks? It was not a good experience at all!! I will not be back!!

I booked a 7:00 PM Sunday reservation through OpenTable. When I arrived with my wife at 6:55 PM the hostess informed me that my table had been given to the local Monsignor. Since we were in no hurry, I was fine with that. The restaurant staff accommodated us with another table within a few minutes. I had the grilled salmon entree salad and my wife had bowtie pasta. Both were very tasty!

We are from Sioux Falls and took the family to Spezia for brunch(13&8). Over age 12 is an adult when it comes to pricing, in case you were wondering. We were able to make a reservation since we would be going at noon on a Sunday. There seemed to be plenty of room, not sure if the reservation was needed, better safe than sorry. We were greeted with a smiling face, and led right to a table. The place was nicely decorated and very clean. The only down side so far was a wobble in the table. I didn't say anything to our waitress so I can't blame them in this review. Our waitress greeted us right away. She took our drink order and sent us to the buffet. We started with breakfast, the scrambled eggs were pretty good, they had their own twist to them. I was kinda bummed because I was looking for just standard eggs and bacon. When I got to the protein, there was only sausage. It was pretty good sausage so I didn't ding them too bad for the lack of selection. They also had tiny Belgian waffles with whipped cream and toppings. These were excellent. Next, we would move to the lunch portion of brunch. It was mostly pastas, but there were chicken drummies and mashed potatoes. And mac and cheese for the little ones. I was more into the breakfast, so not as much to say about the lunch portion. We got back to our table and our waitress had refilled our drinks and cleared our old plates, Great Job!! In order to get an above average review, good service is a must. 3rd trip to the buffet would be for dessert. The fruit was very good and the assortment of cakes took up about 5 feet of counter space, not to mention it tasted good too. There was an assortment of crackers, meats and cheeses I didn't try, but the kids did and liked them. We will come back for brunch again, but not too often as this is a treat. It is a lot of food and kind of expensive. I would give them a 5 if either the price was lower or they offered a little more selection. If you are looking for a good brunch, don't hesitate to try Spezia.
Took two hours to complete our meal, service was not the waiters fault. Had sirloin and shrimp, the sirloin was maybe 3 oz with 5 shrimp. The salad barely had any dressing and the baked potatoe wasn't done. They charged $38 for that with our bill over $100.

This place is amazing. I made Valentines reservations(which by the way for anyone reading this, it's a good idea to make valentines reservations 3-4 weeks in advance at any place) and everything went great with that. The food was out of this world. The staff was super kind and helpful. Thanks Spezia for making my girlfriend and I's first valentines day a special one.

Spezia makes attempt to portray itself as an elite Italian restaurant. But my food was average at best for $25 plus cost. Lots of average pasta with sauces which were not special at all. Grill chicken Brest was tough and dry.
