    We have been coming here for a hew years now. It’s always been a good, quick meal for a decent price. This time around, we were disappointed with our experience. Each dish was much smaller. I understand that everything is more expensive nowadays but I’d much rather pay a little more and receive adult sized portions.

    Food and service was fantastic. Had the Bronzino- lots of flavor and seasoned perfectly as was the truffle fries and cocktail of the day was refreshing and creative. Will be coming back!

    The portion sizes were way too small, especially for the price. I ordered the shrimp scampi and the portion size resembled a small appetizer. Also, the liquor prices were too expensive. In other places, the same scotch would be $17 a glass.. here it was $20 a glass. With high prices and extremely small portions (and no bread was offered at the table) I will not be coming back.

    I have been here multiple times before and each time the food I was excellent, but this time the food was disappointing. The majority of our party of found their brunch items bland, not well seasoned, etc. Additionally, i had requested to sit in the front room of the restaurant where there is more sunlight because we (a party of 8) were celebrating a birthday (and the main room is dark), but they didnt accommodate us, saying the room was “closed” even though the room is directly adjacent to the main dining area. (This is not the first time they denied that request for a table in the front room). Also, the service was OK but not very attentive, at least three times we had to flag down the server for help because she wasn’t checking the table. Overall, a disappointing experience that stands in stark contrast to our prior enjoyable visits.

    Spuntino was easy to find and had ample parking. The lunch menu offered multiple options. Everyone celebrating my daughter’s special occasion found something to their liking and cleared their plates. Some ordered from the small plates menu, others ordered from family style shared platters and the rest from the pick 2 for $15. Portions were full lunch size and delicious. The main dining room is festive for a celebration and noise level was very low. Service was attentive and not intrusive. We plan to return.
