We live in town and this place can be hit or miss. Tonight showed why your server makes the difference. We had an immediate connection with Dustin and he not only made sure the food was cooked to order but did the extras that made you feel welcome. We had the short rib ravioli and the scampi. We NEVER get dessert and tonite we did. Something is going right and if they're smart - Spoleto's will keep it rolling...

Two out of three meals were very good: Crazy Alfredo and Roasted salmon , but the third meal Spaghetti with meatballs was disaster ! overcooked pasta , one of three meatballs burned and dry as a bone, barely any tomato souse ! and you are an Italian Restaurant !

Kid-friendliness: Me and my husband went with our toddler to this restaurant and did not have such a great experience. To be fair we didn’t have a previous reservation and it was hard for us to find a restaurant with tables available for dining that night. We called before going and I said I was looking for a restaurant for me to eat with my husband and my toddler. They gave us a very small table, with no place for a high chair and so my baby had to be sitted on top of me or my husband the whole time. The waiters were also a bit stressed and so we felt that was not so much room for our toddler to have a little bit of freedom and walk around. Not a bad place to eat but I would definitely not go there if you want a relax and easy dining experience with a toddler.

Ambiance was great as I entered, but that was one of the only redeeming factors. Service was subpar from the waitress who was severely underdressed especially since it was Valentines Day. Prices were through the roof including a lack of complimentary bread which is a staple at every other Italian Restaurant. We were left unattended with empty drinks for a considerable amount of time. An hour passed after ordering before we received food, and the portions were extremely small considering the price. The food was good, but It felt more like an appetizer. I would not have minded the prices if the service and food was not this bad.

We had dinner on Friday night. Our party of four had a great experience. The food was fantastic and the service was top notch. Our server, Dustin, was great and very attentive. We look forward to our next visit.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Spoleto and felt compelled to share our wonderful experience. We opted for the special menu, and each dish surpassed our expectations. The careful execution and evident culinary expertise were truly commendable. What struck us most was the incredible affordability of the dishes, considering the high level of skill involved. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff making our dining experience even more enjoyable. A special mention goes to the owner, who went table to table expressing gratitude. It's this personal touch that sets Spoleto apart. The Muscles Marinara, Trout with white wine caper butter sauce, and the delightful Chocolate Mousse for dessert were definite highlights. To top it off, the reasonably priced bottle of wine added to the overall value. Thank you for a memorable evening filled with exquisite flavors and excellent service. We look forward to returning soon.

Excellent experience. I took my girls here for a celebration dinner, and we had a great time. Staff was fantastic. Good came out really quickly, and quality was superb.I got shrimp scampi, which was very nice. Why only 4 stars? They used spaghetti instead of linguine, and they gave me only 4 large/jumbo shrimp. More shrimp or larger shrimp would have been more appropriate for an entree. So, it was a very tasty meal, but with room for improvement.

Wow how the mighty have fallen. You know they started to slide a few years ago and we kept trying to go back but they kept sliding We decided to give it another try the other night. I'm out. Never again. Don't hide behind "we can't find any help" The place is filthy. Don't bother opening the doors.
Very hospitable staff. I give it up the to head chef for bringing out a nice bottle of wine since we're celebrating and for personally greeting us. The lighting inside made it a great spot for dating. The drinks were very good! I did expect the food to be better though. The stuffed shells were not what I expected as it was just some pasta with meat mixed in the dish.

Amazing dining in if you can get a seat. Call in a reservation highly suggested. Also, take out if needed. Delicious delicious food!
I recommend this business somewhat. Spoleto has lost its original appeal. To an extent it has been the victim of COVID. We were willing to give it a try on New Year's Eve. Despite the reservation we had to haggle for a booth. I don't want to sit at the bar or adjacent to another couple in the window of a cold restaurant. We opted for fried calamari which is a regular menu item. We also chose a stuffed artichoke that was undercooked but burnt on top. Don't put a special on the menu without trying it out first. I realize that help is hard to find but staff should not be wearing jeans and a hoody. Supply a basic tee. The rigatoni bolognese was good but I had to have the pesto held. Why would pesto be in bolognese? The fra diavolo fish was good. All in all not bad but could have been better for NYE. The bathrooms are another topic with overflowing trash can and no toilet paper. A bathroom is representative of an establishment's food and service. Do a better job.

I had an excellent meal here tonight. The Caesar Salad was fresh and well dressed and the Chicken Francese was tender, flavorful and juicy. The service from Kevin was welcoming and Valerie was very attentive. Ambience was cosy and warm.

We had a reservation and were promptly seated. The pre fix dinner was a great value and our party of 5 had lots of choices. All the food was delicious and would go back.
