    Heard really good things and decided to try.. we saw the online menu and saw a clam pizza pie with white clam sauce. When we got to the restaurant it was not on their menu but the waitress said they can make it, no problem. We ordered that and a Caesar Salad. The pie came way before the salad, which by the way was soggy, and not crisp. The pie came with one opened clam shell on each of the 6 slices… no chopped clams, no white clam sauce and they had the audacity to charge $36.00 for this ridiculous nonsense of a clam pie. It was tasteless and so poor. We are not complainers, we don’t send food back…. But we will never return.

    Via Sposito never disappoints. Nice friendly atmosphere and delicious food and great service. Our server Dolores was sweet and attentive. Anthony the owner a down to earth regular guy. Looking forward to stopping in their Colts Neck and Red Bank locations.

    Appetizers and entrees were very good except for the scallops and risotto dish. It was over salted and the rather small scallops were bitter.

    Reservation was held and we were seated immediately. The food was delicious. The pork chop my friend ordered looked mouth watering. Another enjoyed the stuffed chicken. Zuppa di pescatore was delicious. Friendly atmosphere. I’ll be back.

    Overall our party of six enjoyed our meals. However we were shocked to learn that their fantastic Lasagna is not a staple on their menu and once again they felt the need to play their music way too loud.

    We ordered a $40 special which came with fish vegetables and a blackened hockey puck That was supposed to have been mashed potatoes. The bottom was completely black like tar and the inside tasted like powder. The fish was okay

    First time there. What a gem! Intimate setting, great food, great service and just a nice time. Fennel orange appy delicious, contidina pizza delightful, eggplant parm melts in your mouth and fra diavalo divine. Table for two in front of the scale rocks. Our server Rhonda the best. Go, you won't be disappointed.
