Our server went above and beyond for us and help make my husband's birthday extra special. The food is always consistant and fresh. I have been going here since they opened in the early 90's as a kid and now I bring my family here for all of our special occassions.
I'm not certain the last time I've eaten at a more middling restaurant with more bland-tasting food. It's the kind of place where you can, guaranteed, recreate the recipes at home in around 20 minutes, and make them a lot better. The place sorely needs updating on just about all accounts. I rarely write a negative review, but I can't fathom why anyone would go out of their way to eat here in a city of phenomenal restaurants. 2 stars because they didn't do anything to actually offend or upset, the quality was just paltry.
I’ll take this review down in a few days as I don’t want to negatively impact your business, but I appreciate you taking my criticisms into consideration.

This was an extraordinary New Year's Eve supper. The restaurant specials and ambiance were terrific, and our main server, Will, was the perfect host. We  felt very welcomed and well treated by the entire staff. Happy new year!
Everyone in our party enjoyed the food they ordered, and the portion sizes were generous. The Caesar salad was a little heavy on the Parmesan cheese for my taste, but still enjoyable. I also thought the gnocchi with pesto sauce was good, with a creamy pesto sauce that wasn't oily and had good flavor. The staff were kind and attentive. We went on Christmas and the restaurant wasn't packed, so we enjoyed a calm, quiet atmosphere.
The best baked clams around, fried calamare . I love the Penne Romano. The veal and eggplant or chicken scarp with sausage potatoes and peppers 2 amazing choices. For dessert I love that they make dessert in front of you, a banana or strawberry flamming icecream dish, soooo yummmy! Very nice staff. Large portions, fair prices. I always have leftovers for the next day.

First time trying takeout from Spolini’s. The Margherita pizza was cooked perfectly with fresh cheese and flavorful sauce.

Phenomenal. The meatball...legendary.
Disappointed after having been a loyal Spolini's fan for years. The entire menu is different- not sure if it was just for Mothers Day. 4pm reservation for 6 including 2 young children turned into a 15-minute wait for a table in a nearly-empty restaurant. After finally being seated, after about 10 minutes had to ask for menus. Spolini salad, always a favorite, was barely enough for 2 people, never mind 4 adults. Long story short... 3 hours in a restaurant NOT including any dessert, is inexcusable- especially with 2 little ones in tow. Sadly, after many, many years being a customer- won't be returning.
Fabulous meal, dinner was so tasty...old world Italian food that makes me want to return very soon!
