Pros: Italian restaurant with a complete menu with many options, all looking good. They have outdoor seating for ~20 people. Service was correctCons: Disappointed with the food. The linguine alla Mediterranean was tasteless, and the pizza was ok, but the crust was too dense. There were no heaters in the patio and it got cold.

I would recommend it here for corporate events. Our host, Roxana, was excellent, from taking reservations, accommodating dietary restrictions, to serving the food and checking upon us.The food was delicious.

A great meal with friends. There were 8 of us so we got a variety to taste. Caesar salad, aroncini, penne with sausage, lasagna with bolognese sauce, fruti de mare with risotto and pomodoro, tiramisu, amaretto cheesecake and creme brulee. There was bread on the table as well with a nice dipping sauce. Service was excellent, our waters refilled as needed. They checked on us to make sure we were ok.

What a great restaurant to enjoy a wonderful time and some delicious food. The owner Johnny has created an atmosphere here that is so comfortable and has taught his waiters to give the best service on the peninsula. When you go by tell him Deniece said hello.My favorite? Pasta Angelica, add prawns. My husband’s? Linguini Adriatica. Our son’s? Ravioli with meat sauce. We also really enjoy their carpaccio.Parking: There’s a large parking lot behind the restaurant that feeds several other restaurants. If that’s not available, there’s one across the street by the post office. There’s also parking on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: There are entrances in the front and the back that our wheelchair accessible.

I’ve never left an Italian restaurant still hungry before until I went here. The portions are very small and the food was mediocre, especially for the price. They overbooked reservations for Valentine’s Day, and my partner and I had to wait nearly an hour past our reservation time just to be seated at a table that was not set until we asked for silverware and napkins when our food arrived. All we received in compensation was a glass of Prosecco while we waited outside for a table. I totally sympathize with the workers, as they were not responsible and were clearly doing their best. Our waitress was very sweet, but unfortunately the rest of the experience was very poor.

We where there valentine's eve. The Food below normal standard for an average Italian in US. The rest can be understandable when the fill up the restaurant with 15-20 tables per waitress

Food was outstanding - my friend and I ordered pasta with eggplant and gnocchi, plus sauteed Brussels sprouts appetizer, and all were absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked, quality ingredients. Service was rather brusque and rushed, but the staff was taking care of a big private party at the same time.

Everything was amazing, the owner made us feel so attended to (like we were a guest in his home). It’s been a long time since I’ve had good Italian food, and I’d say the first time to get this level of wonderful quaint service. Our go to from now on :).

My son and I came here for a very late lunch. We were starving especially my teenager!!We were in the mood for Italian and our favorite restaurant on California in PA had closed down a while ago. We went here to experiment.We had margheriita pizza as appetizer it was delish 4,5 starsMy son had bolognese 4 starsI had shrimp pasta. 3 stars. It was ok there was just one ingredient that was just a little off maybe a bit too sour? I dream about my shrimp pasta from the other Spago that closed

I like this place and their food. My husband didn’t like his meal, but I think it has something to do with the fact that he prefers creamy sauces and his dish had a tomato based sauce.
