    My sister and I had a wonderful dinner Friday night. Mussels and pasta --the plumpest and cleanest mussels I have ever had! Very nice place and very nice people. Shout out to our waiter, Shawn and his assistant, Ricardo (?) for their friendly and attentive service :)

    Went to Spasso's as a last minute date night for dinner. We were seated immediately and our server was very attentive. We decided to get the Spaghetti and Meatballs and the Shrimp Fav Diavolo, which came with bread and butter. The food was delicious! We will definitely be coming back.

    I really enjoyed my meal this evening at Spasso’s. I came with a friend and I had the eggplant rollatini & burrata tortelloni as well as a couple of cocktails. My friend had a shrimp pasta & Caesar salad. Our waitress, Hailey, was lovely and the food was delicious. We’ve never dined here before but will definitely be back!

    Stopped in for lunch at Spasso Italian Grill after it kept coming up on as a “must-try” list from friends and family. The lunch menu was solid, reasonably priced, and the staff was genuinely friendly. They even surprised us with extra fried calamari — crisp, delicious, and a great touch. With so many Italian spots nearby, I probably wouldn’t go back just for the food, but overall Spasso delivered a good, welcoming experience, would consider it for a casual lunch with coworkers.

    Not only is the food amazing, but the people are exceptionally wonderful. I placed a pickup order through DoorDash but when got there we learned that some random DoorDash delivery person took our food. Without batting an eye, they remade my order before DoorDash customer support could even help me. But let’s talk about the food. Spectacular! The pasta tastes so fresh, like it was made this morning. The sauces are perfectly seasoned and just the right consistency to give the perfect bite. I’ll never do DoorDash again, not only because of the issue that I encountered, but because the people there make you feel like family and it’s so much cheaper to order from the regular menu prices.

    This was my first time to Spasso but it sure won't be my last. The food was delicious. I went around 2:45pm on a Friday and it was empty. I got the house salad, the rock shrimp fettuccine that had a delicious pesto and homemade pasta. The weekly Friday dinner special is a Lobster dish and let me just say it did not disappoint. I was not expecting an entire Lobster to be served with mussels and pasta but it was absolutely delicious. The wine was good too. I just wish they could get rid of the flies that were near our table and meal. It could have been the Lobster dish the flies were drawn to but it was still annoying to be swatting while trying to enjoy our meal. A great experience and I can't wait to go back.

    Food is always great. The waiting area is terribly considered and leaves many standing in the entryway with no idea where else to go. We had to ask our waitress for menus as our hostess decided to seat us without them. We also had to ask for a baby highchair twice- not a huge deal but when you are carrying a 12m old around a busy restaurant it can be a bit hectic and not the least bit relaxing. But again, the food is always great.
