No doubt, our favorite restaurant. The staff treats us like family and the service is impeccable. It is a lovely, cozy environment. And of courses the star is the food - with a menu that changes seasonally and is always innovative, we are surprised and delighted every time we visit. Expertly prepared, fresh, delicious food from start to finish.

A favorite for us we try to come at least a few times every year. the blend of traditional Italian with some Indian fusion is always great. Had lamb and the egg pasta as mains both outstanding. Service and smells on point all evening!

I’ve had some great dining experiences at Spuntino, but this was an objectively poor experience. Service was bad (our server was awkward and didn’t even ask me if I’d like something to drink other than water… crazy). Food came out painfully slow (like, maybe an hour between dishes, which they did apologize for). Dishes were hit or miss (arancini was good, but scallop dish was a big disappointment). I guess I would go back to give them another chance, but honestly it was a huge disappointment from what I considered one of my top 3 Denver restaurants.

Hi Stephen, Wednesday was indeed a rare struggle for our kitchen and while we've had a lot of conversations following that service about what went wrong, including a few things out of our control, it does nothing to make up for how we let you down that night. I'm surprised to hear the comments about your service from Matthew, being a veteran part of our team, so it seems there's a bit more for us to talk about. If you'd be willing to follow up with me, we would love the chance to make it up to you in some way as well as hear any other feedback you might have to offer. However saddened we are about the failures last week, we're truly appreciative for the feedback and hopefully the chance to do right by you. All the best, Elliot S (co-owner)

Service was outstanding! We all enjoyed our dishes. The foccacia and roasted garlic, warm olives and arancini were all delicious. The arancini was insanely good. I had the fazzoletti. The sauce was delicate, the pasta was perfectly cooked and flavorful. We had a great bottle of wine and enjoyed the house made amaro antico as a digestif. All in all a wonderful meal!
