Review Summary

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
