Everything was amazing. My only complaint would be that later in the evening (8pm ish) the music was raised to a level that you could not have a conversation at your table. And the music was club music. All that was missing were strobe lights. This is an upscale restaurant, not a club

Spuntino is always a great go to place for a relaxed, reasonably priced meal. Readers should always keep in mind that I give a nearly perfect rating, but that is because it is excellent at it’s niche, but is not competing with some of the more expensive restaurants that I may rate lower because the expectation would be greater. Nevertheless, when my brother was in town, or I need a place to take my fiance, Spuntino is always a consideration. The laid back ambiance, stress free, relaxing service, and excellent food are great for any occasion. The wine list is especially well curated and a reasonable price. No regrets the next morning when you see the dinner receipt, either!
