There is nothing complicated about food, and nobody understood this better than the Italians. They knew that a delicious meal did not require elaborate preparation - just proper ingredients, and the passion and patience to let them work their magic. At The Little Sparo, we apply these principles in all we do. From our fresh baked naturally-leavened bread and pizza to our homemade extruded pasta, every item is prepared with gentle, attentive care. Come enjoy the comfort of Italian cuisine, in our newly renovated, open-concept restaurant with breathtaking views of the St.john's harbor that carries right through to the narrows. Book a table in our elegant dining room or come relax by the fireplace in our cozy, inviting lounge. Our kind and knowledgable staff are here to welcome you with the warm and friendly hospitality that Newfoundlanders are known for. Come join us for dinner!

    the restaurant and the food was fabulous. The service was outstanding, but the restaurant was cold. The temperature inside made it so that we could not take off our coats.

    Amazing food, service, view, atmosphere!!! Comfy seating!!! Worth every single penny. The manager served us, his attention to detail was outstanding!!! We are already talking about going back again next month. I told the manager that my husband was hard of hearing and that he may find his accent difficult to understand. He spoke slowly and allowed me to repeat things when I needed to. All the staff are exceptional and helpful. Service is out of this world. But the food steals the show… absolutely delicious.

    My wife and I went to The Little Sparro for our anniversary. I ordered the pizza and thought it was fantastic. 10/10. My wife had the butternut squash ravioli and she also thought it was great. The restaurant itself was modern, clean and very cozy. The service was also excellent. The prices were maybe a tough high however anything made with sourdough is typically more expensive. Other than that no complaints whatsoever. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely be going back!!

    Our first time dining here on Friday and it was incredible. Our server was the highlight of our night. He was so professional, polite, and knowledgeable and made our night 10/10. We started with freshly made sourdough which came out cold but still tasted great. For mains we has mushroom rigatoni and pappardelle carbonara and both were delicious. They also served the best red sangria I’ve had in St. John’s. Amazing experience all around.
