Spirito's is truly authentic Italian food. Excellent quality. I usually get pizza to go but today I dined in. I had a special - Scallop ala Pomodora. Absolutely delicious. Garlic, fresh basil, fresh stewed tomatoes & plenty of scallops tossed with spaghetti (and by that I mean that all throughout the spaghetti there were tomatoes, garlic, fresh basil & scallops). I suggest that you go early. They get swamped. And you need to stand in line to order & pay. But they bring your food to you and check on your table often. Plus they have a Guy Fierino (sp?) signed "Diners, Dives & Drive Ins" poster hung on the wall.Parking: Free parking in a strip mall parking lot shared with a tacqueria, CVS & a gym plus a gas station & Von's far across the parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible by wheelchair as the tables can be moved around to accommodate different needs and they are located on both the left & right of the entrance.
The food is really good. I had the eggplant Parmigiano it was tasty. The bread it comes with was not that good, it was stiff. The desserts are very good. I would be delighted if they had calamari on their menu.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 First of all, the portions were huge, each plate was the size of a 3 dinner plates stacked. Also, it tasted really good! Conclusion: I recommend

Excellent place for Italian! The spaghetti and meatballs were delicious. The portions were big, I was easily able to split a plate with my kid and still had some to take home. We licked our plates clean. The focaccia bread served with the spaghetti was SUPERB! We just moved to the area, and we already can't wait to go back.

We came in after 9 hours at Legoland, famished and slightly cranky. 7 people in this small innocuous restaurant that was already pretty full. We saw that there was no room for us so we turned around to leave when an employee asked a patron to sit at one of the smaller tables. They obliged and we were able to get all of our family in one area.But that isn't the greatest thing. I walked in and smelled the garlic and the bread and the gravy. It wafted above and it felt like home. I have mixed feelings about my childhood but the one constant was good spaghetti and that usually meant it was going to be a good evening.This dinner did not disappoint. I was transported back to my now-deceased Papa's house, to good times and laughter and hearty meals that left you full of energy and life. Damn, the food is good here but so is the service. I haven't felt my Papa's presence in a while but at Spirito's, it was reassuring that good Italian food still does what it should do: bring family together.

Great, authentic Italian food. Tastes home made and not reheated processed food. Definitely worth the trip.

I've been coming to Spirito's for years. Unfortunately, the service and the food have declined significantly. I placed an order for Valentines Day and they lost the order and then lied because they couldn't find it. I understand being busy and that things happen. But lying to your customers is a problem, and then being rude about it is not ok. Too bad. This place used to be great.

The lasagna is definitely what you come here to get, their weekday sauce is pretty good, their meat sauce is pretty good, their spaghetti noodles were mushy. The meatball that came with the spaghetti was really good, I really would need anything other than lasagna here.The past two times I've come in there's been no soap to wash your hands in the bathroom, which is pretty telling about the people that work here, gross, luckily we've never had any issues.
This is a really great casual dining spot. All of the food is tasty. They have a variety of drinks to choose from, sodas, sparkling waters, beer and wine. The quality of food is definitely a step above what you would expect walking by. The pizza was amazing, and so are the meatballs!The staff was super helpful and genuinely accommodating. Inside can be a bit cold so bring a jacket or sweatshirt if you get cold easily. You order up front and then sit down. It's not quite a restaurant dining experience, but it's the perfect place to stop for quality food in a relaxed environment.There is plenty of free parking in the lot in front. There are restrooms for customers as well. Wheelchair accessible located parking nearby. This is a very family-friendly restaurant too. There is plenty of seating inside, a few tables out front. Sometimes, there is a line at the register.Parking: Lot of parkingKid-friendliness: Easy seating for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Located near by, single story

This is the best Italian food around! The best dish I’ve had here is the eggplant parmigiana, it’s soooo good, just like a Little Italy in NYC. I’m very picky about my pizza and it’s also the best around. It’s annoying as hell to get in touch with them and when you do it’s so noisy in the background you have to scream your order at them, it’s well worth the scream though. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of my food. ?Update: Spiritos is not good like it was when I wrote the original review, the food is not as good as it was and the positions have shrunk.I also think they’re now using frozen eggplant for their parmigiana.

Wasn't pleased with my shrimp al pomodoro, but it might be my fault for thinking meant with tomato vs in a tomato sauce. I read the description and it said olive oil, garlic, basil and tomato so I was really bummed out when it came with all that mixed into a spaghetti sauce. Kids got spaghetti and the girl up front wasn't up on GF issues so I crossed my fingers and ordered GF pasta with just tomato sauce for my celiac son. The place could best be described as utilitarian, with order at the counter and grab yourself waters from a big sport/camping cooler. No beverages or ice except what is bottled in the tall cooler. It's a good place if you want traditional spaghetti (seems everything is made with red sauce) but don't need the upscale or Italian vibe (which comes with a price). It's not "cheap" but definitely much better priced. Bread could have been delicious if there was something to dip it in (like oil & balsamic or even just butter). As it was, it came out nicely toasted but with little on it. Maybe it's just for leftover sauce. Lastly, their service was so nice and friendly, especially the tall young gentleman, I almost gave 5*. I just know I probably wouldn't choose to return so 4* it is.

Took a little while to get food. Food was not what I expected for Italian flavor. Maybe add a little more Italian seasoning.
