This place was perfect for a low key birthday celebration. We didn’t order full entrees but our table shared a bunch of tapas and bottles of wine and that was such a good experience. It was quiet for a Thursday and our waiter, Ross, was THE BEST! We are all from out of state and I highly recommend to anyone local or traveling.

We had such a great time trying all the different foods. The noise level was perfect. The food was delicious. My waiter was working hard. Maybe they needed some more wait staff to fill up our waters. But other than that I recommend this place!

The size of the salad was extremely small and the menu did not say it was tapas. Not only that the salad and pizza’s are smaller than when i was there last year.

The food is fantastic, and we all enjoyed being able to taste all the different Italian Tapas we ordered. Service was good - it is a bit pricey if you want to sample all that they have to offer from appetizers, main course and dessert. Will definitely go again.

We loved the atmosphere. Our waiter was very friendly!! The charcuterie board was delicious. And I like the small plates because then we had room for a small entree. I had a chicken dish and my husband a pasta dish ..And tiramisu cheese cake was delicious 😋We will definitely eat here again. We have gone to their wine tasting dinners and is was delicious also.

The arugula salad with dressing on the side-delicious! They will over dress it otherwise. Had the salmon, it was a small portion but tasted delicious. The pasta carbonara was a sticky blob that seemed to have been sitting around under the warm lamp or reheated-difficult to get a fork in.

We have been isolating for 2 1/2 years due to Covid, but decided to go to a late afternoon movie (Downton Abbey) and made a reservation for dinner at one of our favorite restaurants -- Spuntino's. We so enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, outside tables were full and inside tables were generously spaced apart. We shared wild mushroom brucetta, butternut squash and arugala salad with gorgonzola cheese & cashews, artichoke hearts lightly breaded and topped with fontina cheese & truffle oil, bronzino over chick peas/tomato salad with capers, and calamari. A delicious feast! Our server was helpful & patient as we made menu selections due to dietary favorites and health issues. We highly recommend Spuntino's.

Unfortunately it seems they were short staffed and Ross, our waiter, was running back and forth. He was a good waiter and I tipped him accordingly but he was running ragged! In addition, It appears they changed the menu to no longer have lamb chops as a Carne Dish but rather now a large dish. So you get 3 lamb chops for 43$, which is rather expensive. I tried to use my 10$ Open Table Rewards and at first they were unfamiliar with the process. I showed them the process as it was written and then they were able to do it.

Had the most incredible Mother’s Day dinner with family and friends. I enjoy the small portions so we had a little of everything. The salmon was outstanding as my main meal, everything was delicious along with the excellent wine recommendation from our fabulous waiter. The front desk staff was more than accommodating when I showed up a half hour early for my reservation and with a few more people in my party. Love this place and will definitely be back.

When we checked into our table they acknowledged my son’s allergies and verified everything and kept checking our table more than usual to make sure our son had everything he needed. I enjoyed the attention to detail and how they made sure my wife’s Mother’s Day experience was great. Definitely recommend to anyone.

Nieyka was absolutely spectacular. She was so hospitable… sat me promptly with the bartender Gabby. Gabby was funny… full of life… a complete doll. I will be back to see them both. Btw the lasagna… you need to elevate the presentation. It reminded me of a can of chefboyardee.

My friend and I ordered tapas. We always love to share small plates. We chose eggplant meatballs, broccoli rabe, calamari, and apple-walnut gorgonzola bruschetta. Everything was so delicious. Our server did a great job, and we were very happy. I’ve been going to Spuntino’s since it first opened and I have never been disappointed. Love this place!

Everything from the wine to the food to our server was terrific. We came in after another restaurant did not accommodate our reservation that we made and Spuntino happily accommodated us lat minute. Our server was attentive and offered great suggestions on appetizers and our meal. the salmon was outstanding, the apple blue cheese bruscetta was delicious as well as the calamari, which was so tender.

We went during Long Island restaurant week. We were seated immediately and received excellent service during our visit. The food arrived warm and quickly and the drinks were good. Unfortunately, we just didn't love the food itself. For example, the risotto was a bit watery and the pork belly wasn't crispy and was a little too meaty and dry. We still had a nice night out but would say the food was average. I would also note that I am gluten-free and I found a lot of inconsistencies in the menu related to where they note which items are gluten-free, but after working with the server, I had no issues.

Dinner started off fantastic until my order of mussels never came after waiting an hour and check in with the waitress. She obviously forgot my order and should’ve just said so instead of making me wait. I had to say something to the manager everything I had was fantastic except the mussels were so tiny it was definitely not worth the wait or the money
