This place is completely tucked away and such a gem! Inside a healthy grocery store. I got a delicious bagel sandwich.

Friendly attentive staff with upbeat bar and affordable drinks! Espresso martini is just great! Foodwise - pizza Nonna and pasta with prawns are dishes to be back for; Will be back for sure!

Food was excellent and drinks reasonably priced. Upper echelon atmosphere vibe. Bar staff was catering and friendly will return again.

I just had the best pizza ever. It was a special with some of the best ingredients including my favorite pesto. Mike, the bar tender in addition to being handsome makes an awesome martini?.

Meh. I ordered the aribatta and buratta salad. They charged me 2x for the salad as what their website advertises. Can make better pasta at home. If I am paying $15 for a plate of spaghetti, it better be worth it. Manager seemed to not know basic questions, such as "do you take amercian express" and then forgot half my order and blamed it on the chef.

Pizza was expensive and bland. The crust tasted like cardboard. The calamari tasted stale and was cold; almost like it was reheated from the night before and then left to sit there. Tried calling to at least get a refund on the calamari and staff couldn't help us. Not rude, but seemed like they didn't know what to do.

We waited a long time for a restaurant this good to be in walking distance of home. The food is better than good, the service was super surprising & they promise more to come. They promise a sign out front, a side entrance and right now, the phone rings nine times and asks for an access code? I will be very patient because I want them to stay.

I just had my 14 person birthday dinner party there and the service and food were outstanding. Everyone raved about the dishes they got and our server Sheldon was on point. I HIGHLY recommend this place. Try an intimate dinner, large party or just stop by the bar for drink, your won’t be disappointed.

Never Open! Waste of time. They put the lobby sign out but they never open. Hours state they are open until 2:30 but no answer. Everyyime I try....they are closed. I live in the building. Do not waste your time as I have.

The food at Spark restaurant is fresh and delicious! Their service is attentive and welcoming. They have a nice selection of craft cocktails, and I was very impressed with the large mixed salad and homemade vinaigrette. The tomato base and crust make the pizza a standout, and the meat from the bolognese sauce is so tender it melts in your mouth.

Large portions of really good food with a nice variety. They make a lovely cocktail and the atmosphere is chill and welcoming with a nice nod to the luxury of fine dining. Come as you are or dress up - remember how? ? Do it, it's good and I'm a restaurant lifer so I wouldn't lie to you!!

Been living here three years and so glad this gem opened. The owner and general manager are extremely friendly. I’ve had the coffee, the pastries are nice and flaky. The bolognese pasta was extremely tasty with large portions and the portions of the charcuterie board were plenty for sharing. Quality and quantity are definitely highlighted in the food .
