Spes offers a welcoming atmosphere with immaculate vibes, perfect for enjoying wine with friends. The menu includes vegetarian and gluten-free options, accommodating various dietary needs. The Sunny Side Up and Pesto & Pomodorini Scrambled Egg are flavorful brunch choices, with the sourdough bread being a standout. Friendly staff make every visit enjoyable.
The restaurant is described as a hidden gem in the East Village, with an incredible ambiance and delicious food. The service is praised as first-class, with the staff being accommodating and ensuring a pleasant dining experience, even when the customers were seated close to closing time. The portions are generous, and the pasta dishes, such as carbonara and bucatini amatriciana, are highly recommended. The grilled octopus, however, was found to be a bit chewy. The restaurant's small size adds to the cozy atmosphere, and the great music and ambient lighting create an excellent setting for date nights or gatherings with friends. The restaurant is also known for its excellent wine selection and the delightful panna cotta dessert.
