Spuntino is described as having generous portions with eggplant parmesan and chicken, along with great service and a welcoming, nicely decorated venue. Reviewers note that the food, service and atmosphere are consistently solid, breakfast is reasonably priced, and many say they would return for breakfast or lunch. A late dinner visit felt charming with friendly staff, though some dishes were good but not wowed and the little pizzas were only okay, while the pasta and the mortadella burrata pizza were standout options. Mushroom pasta is praised for being rich and satisfying, and other highlights include a beet salad, prosciutto and chicken sandwiches, all offered at reasonable prices for the area. The interior design, cleanliness and attentive counter service are noted, but lighting ambiances vary and some guests mention dimming lights or softer daytime illumination; wine is described as pricey and there is a caution about the downstairs bathroom lacking a railing.View restaurant profile
Le Patio is described as a lovely neighborhood cafe with a stylish space, nice ambiance, and strong coffee and food that many reviews praise, making it a solid option in Verdun. Yet experiences vary on service, with comments about slow and sometimes impersonal service and a few notes that warmth is lacking behind the counter or that staff seem distracted. Beverage execution is mixed: some drinks are praised for being delicious and creative, while others are criticized for things like milk not properly steaming, a bland or watery taste, or drinks that do not live up to the promise of the menu, and at times music volume is considered overly loud. Several tasters mention price as a concern, feeling the offerings are expensive relative to the value or other Verdun cafes. The space, cleanliness, and general vibe are repeatedly cited as positive, though for some the atmosphere does not feel inviting or consistent, and a few reviews highlight the contrast between an appealing menu and uneven delivery. Overall, Le Patio shines in ambiance and certain beverages and is appreciated by many, but there is room for improvement in consistency, warmth, and value.View restaurant profile
