About the restaurant

There is nothing complicated about food, and nobody understood this better than the Italians. They knew that a delicious meal did not require elaborate preparation - just proper ingredients, and the passion and patience to let them work their magic. At The Little Sparo, we apply these principles in all we do. From our fresh baked naturally-leavened bread and pizza to our homemade extruded pasta, every item is prepared with gentle, attentive care. Come enjoy the comfort of Italian cuisine, in our newly renovated, open-concept restaurant with breathtaking views of the St.john's harbor that carries right through to the narrows. Book a table in our elegant dining room or come relax by the fireplace in our cozy, inviting lounge. Our kind and knowledgable staff are here to welcome you with the warm and friendly hospitality that Newfoundlanders are known for. Come join us for dinner!

Stunning Cheticamp, Cape Breton view of the sea waves crashing on the shore while dining in the main room. The restaurant featured a diverse menu and wine selection prepared to our liking. After a week of seafood throughout the Maritime provinces, I opted for a steak and it didn’t disappoint cooked exactly as I requested and paired with an Argentine Malbec. The service also was exemplary with the right combination of timely attentiveness , touch of Nova Scotian humor and timeliness. We’ll be back if we ever get back from Miami.

Jamie was our server; knew when and what we needed before we even asked. I appreciate the recommendations and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The Shrimp Cocktail has 12 shrimp, and the piece of Fish with the Fish and Chips was so big my wife and I didn’t eat it all. Best Fish and Chips I’ve ever had. The filet was attached to the breading and was clean and white through and through! I recommend this restaurant!
