8 Best Italian Restaurants near Spencer

“My husband and I went here for the first time, and the food exceeded our expectations. My husband got the chicken Caribana with shrimp added, and I got the haddock stuffed with crab and whipped loaded potatoes. The taste of the food was so good. The appetizers were amazing as well. My husband got the sweet chili chicken tenders, and I got clam chowder. The waitress was very attentive and kind, and the cook is blessed with amazing cooking skills. I hope more people visit this gem because it is so good. The seating and inside of the restaurant is so cozy and laid back.We will definitely be returning.Parking: There is a small parking lot next to the post office, it is convenient.“

“There are not many choices for restaurants in the Rutland and Spencer areas. I find black & white has an extremely diverse menu. And it's almost impossible not to find something that you like. Definitely a place worth going to the ean get very busy. Best make reservations if you can. Particularly on weekends. They do have some options such as prime rib that are only served on certain days of the week. Overall, a very good restaurant with lots of choices. I recommend it.“

“What a great place. Owner greets you at the door. And it begins. Have been there once before in the warm weather and loved it because besides the food, which was on point, they let my ( well behaved ) dog sit with us outside. Tonight did takeout for six and between the cocktails at the bar while food came out and the nice guitar player, another great experience! Got to love a place where the owner is greeting you with a hardy smile and exuberant hello as she manages the restaurant floor!“

“This location is a treasure trove! My go-to order and fave is the french toast with banana foster. The personnel is quite amiable! It is a great family-run business! You won't be let down if you visit this place, I guarantee it! Do try it out! You'll become a regular, just like the majority of their clients and us!“

“Tried for the first time the other night- half potato skin half steak&cheese pizza- was thoroughly impressed! Very tasty, tender, seasoned steak and the crust was almost to good to give any piece to my begging dog (ultimately giving in and he approved). Price was right, called in and ready in the correct given time (20 minutes). This will now be our regular pizza place!“

“We went on a busy Saturday night, it was busy but good. I tried a XO Chocolate Martini, it was strong and basically tasted like straight up vodka with a hint of chocolate. They took that drink back and made me a strawberry daiquiri, that was much better. My sirloin steak tips were cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes were good as well. All in all a great place to eat dinner.“

“We had dinner at Avellino the evening before our vow renewal brunch at this restaurant group's Function venue, The Barn at Wight Farm. Six of us sat down to a wonderful meal of top quality appetizers and entrées served by a charming server named Elijah. I don't live in the area of Avellino so I probably won't be back before long but I do recommend this restaurant to you all. Enjoy!“

“So Jen B or as our family has termed her, BAB, or Jenny from the BLOCK is an amazing waitress!! This lady deserves a medal for her customer service and respect she has for the LGBTQ community!We were there this past Saturday in town for a concert for our son Olly. This place was busy as all get out and she was ON IT with our food and drinks. She also has a deep respect for people who just want to be who they are. My kid had a picture show up on his Facebook memories pre-transition which also happened to be my fave pic of little him. We showed Jen B and we all had talked about this journey about life and identity. She was so accepting and great at her job.The food and drink was amazing and prompt considering how busy it was especially. Olly loved the mocktails!We look foward to visiting again if our travels take us anywhere in that vicinity again!“
