   First time dining here. Started off with poor service from front desk. Restaurant was only about 20% full; we had reservation for two. Started to seat us in corner booth next to emergency exit and restrooms. Requested seat by windows — all empty. We were finally seated in different booth. Our server, Mary, was great though. Burratta with roasted tomatoes was excellent starter. Shrimp with Alfredo pasta only average; pork tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto tasty. Extensive. Wine list, mostly Italian. Atmosphere was okay. But start of evening enough of a turn-off that we won’t return

   I do apologize for your experience at the beginning of the night. I have reach out to the manager on duty and have talked to her about this. We have uptrained our host to what to do in this situation. I would love it if you gave us a second chance. Evan Zlotogura General Manager

   This was our first visit. We came for our Valentines Anniversary dinner. We started with the distilled water (they have tap, distilled & sparkling) and sweet tea. For our appetizer we enjoyed the meatballs which had a nice spice and polenta but wished the polenta would have been a little thicker, more of it & the ricotta. Our mains we chose the two specials seafood Risotto and Fillet with Asparagus and Mashed Potatoes with Crab and Hollandaise Sauce. We unfortunately were not impressed with the portions for the price and the seafood risotto should be marketed as appetizer. The amount of seafood on it was lacking. The Fillet minion was good but again portions were off needed more asparagus and crab. For dessert we enjoyed the baked Italian meringue with lemon curd and roasted berries. It was like fun-dip for adults! Overall our experience was lacking but the atmosphere and servers were great enjoyable.

   Thank you for the review. I would like to apologize for your experience. I will go over this with the chef. I would suggest our chicken parmesan or lasagna if you like a nice hearty portion. Evan Zlotogura General Manager

    Our first time to visit Sparrow. Best part was our server Becca. So cheery, helpful, very attentive, and professional. Worst part, it was a cold night and every time the door opened we were exposed to a cold draft. The garlic knots were really good to start with. Caesar salad had a light dressing which I liked. We chose 100 layer lasagna for entree. The Italian sausage was spicy but good. The thin pasta was a nice texture and tasty. Nice change from the normal thick noodles and cheeses. For dessert we went with the Italian ice cream wedding cake. It was enormous, enough for at least 4 people. Very good flavor for chocolate lovers like us. I would suggest they take it out of the freezer for awhile before serving. It was so hard we could not get a spoon or knife in it. We took most of it home. After a 30 minute ride in the car, we could actually take a spoonful of it. Overall Sparrow's is a nice place to get a different kind of Italian cuisine. We will go back again.
