Westmount

Café Italian Pasta Sandwiches Salads

Review Summary

Spuntino comes across as a beloved Italian spot in the area, delivering comforting, well executed dishes that encourage repeat visits. Dishes highlighted include eggplant parmesan, truffle pasta, mushroom pasta, and pizzas, with pistachio tiramisu for dessert noted as a good choice. The atmosphere is described as charming and relaxing, with friendly service and a stylish interior, though a few reviews suggest more formal training could help. Prices are seen as high for the portions by some, while others find value for the area, and breakfast or lunch options are praised for being reasonably priced. Overall quality is consistently good and the restaurant is noted as a good fit for families and casual outings. There are occasional criticisms, such as some items not feeling wow-worthy, a couple of menu items being just okay, and ambience issues like lighting; wine prices are mentioned as steep. Accessibility concerns are raised about stairs without a railing, and during busy times service can be attentive but wait times may occur. The overall impression is a strong go-to in the neighborhood.View restaurant profile
