All of our dishes, pastas and fresh mozzarella are homemade daily with the finest ingredients.

The food at Via Sposito does not disappoint. Everything we had was delicious. We ordered fried calamari and rice balls for appetizers- both were delicious. There were 4 of us and we ordered 2 chicken parm dinners and two linguine and white clams sauce. All the dinners were great. The clams were nice and large. The one complaint that we have about this restaurant is that it is very loud. The acoustics are not good and they had music piped in that was too loud. It makes it difficult to have a conversation at the table without screaming at each other. It is the one reason we don’t go here more often.
