This was a very underwhelming experience. Pre-pandemic, Sprezza had an extensive menu, a wide variety of flavors, an amazing wine selection, and a very hospitable staff. This food selection is very limited, way overpriced for both quality and portion size, and the overall experience just wasn't what it was in 2019.

This restaurant will be closing before the end of 2021, and it really showed last night. I do not want to blame the staff, they did a pretty good job in the circumstances, but not only is the menu greatly reduced, but several things we wanted to order that were on the menu were not available because sold out. There were very few tables at 8:00 PM when we were there. The food we were able to order was good, but the selections were so limited that I cannot call the menu selection or food outstanding, as I used to think it was under different owners. We were told that the chef here is now planning to go somewhere else. I do not know what the future of this restaurant will be. It's a shame, because it used to be one of our favorite places. To add to the issues, there was a loud electrical noise like a short that ladted 5 minutes during dinner. And we were brought the totally wrong check to sign—this in a nearly empty restaurant. The staff let us order things that they then returned to say were unavailable. Cannot recommend. We were there with out of town family for a special Xmas dinner celebration, and were completely disappointed.

The menu, like the decor, is spare but well executed & delicious. The decor is a bit too Spartan for my taste but it did afford the holiday costumed diners next to us a nice backdrop.

Sadly this will be our last time at Sprezza ...it was almost as if there are new owners...none of the signature dishes that made this restaurant a stand out in its heyday are there anymore. They even changed the awesome pizza that Sprezza was known for...it tasted like frozen Pillsbury pizza dough...and the sauce...had to send it back.

The porch (they call it patio) is a lovely place to sit on a mild evening, but be forewarned it is LOUD. Food is good, but not great and fully priced. We split the bib lettuce salad (dressing too acid) and two pasta dishes, both good. Overall a nice evening.

Great pasta!! The pizza wasn't the best I ever had but the pasta was amazing!! The service was amazing!!! Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was bc of the pizza !!

I was blown away by the food and service at Sprezza! Everything I ate was absolutely divine. The real star of the show was the carbonara. Unlike a lot of nice restaurants they actually give you a good portion size and this pasta was so good that I could have eaten another dish. This is the perfect spot for a nice date! Next time I'll be trying the espresso martini or one of the many wines!

Was a rainy night so a little slow. Food was excellent though. I think by now most restaurants should offer a paper menu. My friend could not get his URL reader to work so that was a hassle.

Great Roman style Italian food. Clean and cozy environment. Will enjoy them again.

always an amazing experience. David our waiter was THE BEST. They are always accommodating for us to try new things. The experience for all will be remembered. We don't get out much anymore - so each time counts.
This was my fist time back since the start of the pandemic. The service was excellent. The food was good. I was disappointed as there were less choices for appetizers. The menu has changed some. I had a nice house inspired cocktail. I will be back.

A very enjoyable dining experience. Not too casual or dressy. Perfect for a chill but not too chill night out with a group of friends. Staff is very nice and helpful. Prices are very far. Lots of free parking.

Wow this unbelievable! I never thought I can make real money from Forex trading. I thought everyone on the platform were just scammers who have no human feelings . I got scammed a few times. Please be careful while investing I know there are real managers and I have met one. Mr Brett Corey is a real and legit manager who will do anything just to make you get your profits after your trade duration . He has done that for me, now I don't have to worry about cashing out my profits . He will put a smile on my face once again, you can contact him via email: [email protected]

As close as we have found to eating back in Rome. Great service and very good portion of food.

If I could give zero stars I would! I do not recommend this place. Sprezza took a to-go order and it legitimately took almost 2 HOURS (1hr 45mins) to complete the order. When the order was placed, the quote of 30 minutes was given. Then 30 mins go by. We ask about the food, and are told 15 more minutes. Fine. You're busy. 15mins go by( 45mins wait at this point) The manager is nowhere to be found and the hostess is also nowhere to be found. Every opportunity we were able to grab a person the response was "let me check on it." Then more endless waiting. 1 HOUR AND 15 MIN later they offer a glass of wine. How much longer is this going to take if you're finally bringing a glass of wine?? Finally after a ONE HOUR AND FORTY FIVE MINUTE WAIT for to-go the food was brought out, no apologies, no mention of food comping etc. If you give your customers a quote and you go 1hr and 15 mins OVER quote time, your meal should be at least partially comped. How is this a way to run a business? We will never be back. Girls night is officially ruined thanks to you guys.
