    Loved the tapas style portions of great food. I recommend the shrimp scampi and the fried dough for dessert! The service was amazing . The restaurant was very loud . The ambience was great in the little booth and sheltered us a little from the noise of a private party. Dinner for two with a bottle of wine was about $100. Great restaurant for the price so close to NYC.

    I love this restaurant. Unfortunately we had sandy mussels. We kept trying and a good amount were sandy. Besides the mussels being disappointing everything else was amazing. Affogato is to die for.

    Spuntino is a reliable place that really exceeds what you'd expect at a mall location. The food is generally way above average (they do vegetables, bruschette, pizzas, and most small plates QUITE well. On this occasion, the clams oreganata (which I understand were a short-term item anyway) were gummy and overly salty. The manager agreed and took it back, taking it off our bill. The artichokes were very tasty, but, like the broccoli rabe on occasion, had a little toughness to it that made it less than ideal, but still good. The brussels sprouts and charred broccoli were both tremendous, as were the bruschetta and pizza. Desserts are reliable, but we skipped them this time around. The manager was very friendly and solicitous, making the experience immediately gratifying--he seemed like he genuinely welcomed us to the establishment.

    Good food, small portions, especially for the prices. Great drinks. Service was good but our wait-person was a bit icy. Loved the look of the place.

    It’s a very noisy restaurant, and not good for a romantic dinner. We arrived on time for our 7pm reservation, which the hostess insisted was a reservation for 6:45pm. We were still seated, and when I double checked the reservation time in the app, I was correct. Then upon finishing dinner, we departed at 8:30 for a movie at the AMC theater in the same shopping center at 8:45. At 8:34, I realized I forgot my leftovers at the restaurant and ran back. At 8:37, the hostess told me my leftovers had been discarded. I understand the restaurant might have been busy, but there is not reason they couldn’t set my food aside… especially considering only seven minutes had passed!! All things considered, I’m not sure if I’ll be back. The food was meh. Addendum, 10/30/24: Although the restaurant invited me to email them in their response to this review, they have not replied to any of my three emails sent to them in recent weeks using the online form on their website. Their response to my review gives the appearance that they try to make things right when customers are disappointed, but until they follow through on that, it’s just an illusion.
