Great cuisine and service in a pleasant, outdoor environment. We always look forward to great Italian meals at this restaurant!
Food was so good! Beautiful restaurant with amazing service!
The restaurant is not following the social distance protocol on Valentine’s Day. Very crowded and overbooked.
Spasso’s food and service was nothing short of perfect! Very tasty drinks, great food and quality, and more importantly excellent service. I will be definitely back!
Food is great. Good service. Just need to ask for a bigger table if you’re dinning in two or more. Plates are kinda big for one small table for two.
Spasso’s is always good. We went to dinner early, so the service was exceptional. Generous portions. Happy to support outside dining during this pandemic. So glad they are open again.
Great place
It was great. Carpaccio was delicious
Outdoor dining can present problems, but we had a great propane heater next to us, we were very comfortable. The food was great, as always. Only complaint would be that the server brought the entrees too soon after serving the salads. Would have wanted to wait a little longer for them, but it was very busy, so they probably wanted to keep things moving. I will always choose Spasso when I get to choose a restaurant in San Carlos.
Food to go at it’s best!!!
Good lunch ...
We made a reservation for 6:30. Apparently seating was not reserved for us and was given to walk-ins before our arrival. Spasso needs to correct their system.
Very good job for being under covid restrictions. Good food, drinks, service and atmosphere.
Pork chop exceeded expectations and the patio was nice and warm. Service, however was pretty bad. We had to wait and eventually request for our order to be taken the appetizers came out with food (by that time we didn't even want them) and we had to ask for the check.
Been going here for years...Food was outstanding but the service with the tables being outside due to Covid was horrible...waiting endlessly for a table in spite of having reservations...waiting 20+ minutes for drinks.....disappointing you come to patronize a neighborhood restaurant but the service was horrid...
Never ever disappoints! Covid protocol in every single way!
Everything was perfect except my appetizer was delivered with my entree. Is it too much to ask to get the appetizer delivered first allowing time to finish it before the entree is served?
Food was very good. The portions seemed to be greater than previous visits. Dined outside and felt safe. With the lights and tables under a canopy it was reminiscent of dinning in Europe. Great experience.
Great dinner and staff and nice outdoor patio during Covid. Love this place.
Excellent food and service. Wait staff was attentive but not overbearing and allowed us to have good business discussions without feeling rushed or ignored. Food was excellent. Highly recommended.
I ordered the veal and it was cooked to perfection. Loved the piccata sauce.
This was an excellent restaurant. The food and service went beyond expectations. We will definitely be back. There were so many items on the menu to try I found it hard to make sup my mind.
We loved our dinner on Friday evening. I had the filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection, medium-rare. My husband had the black pepper fettuccini which was also delicious. The drinks were fantastic too.
Thank you. We will be back very soon.
Love the outdoor seating!
Always great!
Nice outdoor seating. Great food and service! Definitely recommend!
I love Spassos. Delicious food, good service at a great value.
The service was fantastic the
Ambience magical with The sun going down and the twinkling lights all around.
I love the carpaccio, highly recommend. For my entrée I had the seafood pasta which is always a favorite.
It was a birthday celebration for my friend and we topped it off with the delicious tiramisu. Yumm
There were many people there sitting outside on both sides of the street and our waiter was so efficient with so many tables to care for. Kudos to his ability to care for all Efficiently.
I will definitely return to this gem. 10 stars
Came in right at dinner rush. Staff was well orchestrated to serve patrons outdoors and we were given option to sit inside which was nice since it was rather warm from the scorching hot day we had. Appetizer sizes were definitely plenty ... love their black pepper seafood Alfredo ... great time for a quiet family dinner
Spasso is always great for their food and service. However, last Saturday night, there was a foul-up on a birthday "goodie". There new two lady's celebrating their birthday, and the birthday "goodie" was forgotten by management. Thank God, our excellent waitress, Zoe, was able to secure one piece of cheesecake with a candle, for the celebration.
Everything was great!
Food was delicious. Big portion for lunch. The bread is to die for. My husband insisted we eat at Spasso’s specifically for the bread.
Outdoor dining only for me for now. The waiter was patient with us.
I feel sorry for the waiters and all that they are going through right now. I give them a lot of credit.
We had amazing food and great service. We will definitely be back!
We had a great family dinner to celebrate a milestone birthday. We enjoyed outdoor dining due to covid. The lighting in our section wasn’t that great, but that was the only negative experience.
Excellent service, very delicious drinks and food. Hard to find a bartender that can make a proper dirty martini these days, but she did an excellent job.
Food was good, service was good but I would suggest they put up shades on the street side as with outdoor dining the sun can be blinding. Eventually though the sun moved and all was fine.
Our group was seated the minute we showed up and they gave us a nice choice of tables.
Our server was just the right amount of attention so we know we were not forgotten but he didn't hover.
Drinks were perfect and the food was very good. I had the seafood fettuccine and my husband had the Veal piccata. we both really enjoyed our choice es.
Would definitely come back again.
Food and service was terrific as they are serving outdoor dining during this pandemic and the staff was on top of all our tables needs with a full and busy place. Kudos to them.
Zoe was wonderful as was the busboy. The cabbage salad & capellini were tasty as usual. We will return.
Three of us had an early dinner on Saturday.. We were greeted and seated right away. My (ground) chicken bolognese was scrumptious! We each ordered a coffee drink and a dessert. Always save room for dessert!
Always good food at Spasso’s. Waiters are friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
