    Our go-to restaurant. Have never been disappointed. Very busy evening with in-house diners and takeout, which did not effect our food, drink or service in a negative fashion. Staff worked very well together. Minestrone Soup, Walnut Crusted Pork Chop and Chicken Wrapped in Pancetta were absolutely wonderful. Have been dining at Spasso's for a number of years now with pure delight!

    Free wine corkage on Sunday and Monday nights. An excellent draw for potential customers who already have fine wines to enjoy but don’t want to add corkage fees to the bill.

    My husband and I have eaten here several times before. However, this time, we were quite disappointed. The waitress rushed us through the meal. The portions were smaller and not freshly made.

    We love Spasso’s. We dine there often. The food is always good, but last Saturday night they were very busy. They were definitely wanting us to move along as they were rushing to clear our table, not in a good way, To Go boxes were practically thrown at us, I think they were shocked when we ordered dessert. We were with long time friends. We wanted to visit, but they clearly wanted us to give up our table. Yet when we walked outside, most of the patio tables were empty.

    Spasso is a lovely restaurant with great service. Went for lunch and had many choices of salads, sandwiches, or hot entrees. Service is friendly. Great place to meet friends, have an excellent meal, and enjoy an afternoon.
