Great server delivered excellent wines, bread and salads along with bland entrees. Trout and lentil special was massive ( 2 trout included) but utterly dull. Much better food when we visited previously

Good service, wine and food. We had the tagliatelle ragu, the gnochetti, and gnocchi pomodoro, with some apps and the tiramisu which was light and fluffy.

Disappointing experience this time. Music too loud and inappropriate for the setting (70s disco?); servers inexperienced, not familiar with menu, and not professional; wines on wine list not available/out of stock. Food was fine but not remarkable. We’ve visited many times over the years and this time was up to the La Spiga standards we’ve experienced in the past.

The best item we tried was the Cavolfiori Fritti; it was delicious. Alas, the Gnocchi al Pomodoro were overdone and lacked much flavor.

The fried cauliflower alone is worth going back for. The fresh pasta that we all had was perfection and the salad prima Vera was the best.

The homemade pasta is good. Probably would have been happy eating more than 75% of the menu - great choices. Our server was excellent.

Excellent food and service. A large dining room with a second level. It appears to be an old space that gives off a rustic vibe. I am a vegetarian and found many things to eat. There's a vegetable stew that is amazing. The house sangiovese was delicious. The staff are very kind and attentive. Will definitely return.
