    We have never had a bad experience at La Spiga. It is where we go to celebrate milestones and birthdays and it never disappoints. Max in particular was lovely yesterday and the food was delicious.

    We arrived and were greeted and seated immediately. Our server had a great sense of humor and was fun to chat with. He took our order right away and brought drinks to table. The food portions are very large family style so you can share or take home for left overs. My husband ordered lasagna and I had the chicken marsala. Both were delicious. We also had garlic bread and ordered chocolate cake to go. This is one of our favorite restaurants and we frequently like to take our friend here for special occasions.
