    I have been here multiple times before and each time the food I was excellent, but this time the food was disappointing. The majority of our party of found their brunch items bland, not well seasoned, etc. Additionally, i had requested to sit in the front room of the restaurant where there is more sunlight because we (a party of 8) were celebrating a birthday (and the main room is dark), but they didnt accommodate us, saying the room was “closed” even though the room is directly adjacent to the main dining area. (This is not the first time they denied that request for a table in the front room). Also, the service was OK but not very attentive, at least three times we had to flag down the server for help because she wasn’t checking the table. Overall, a disappointing experience that stands in stark contrast to our prior enjoyable visits.

    Spuntino was easy to find and had ample parking. The lunch menu offered multiple options. Everyone celebrating my daughter’s special occasion found something to their liking and cleared their plates. Some ordered from the small plates menu, others ordered from family style shared platters and the rest from the pick 2 for $15. Portions were full lunch size and delicious. The main dining room is festive for a celebration and noise level was very low. Service was attentive and not intrusive. We plan to return.

    A go to for me! Great to eat at the bar or table. Interestingly enough go here for the food as opposed to the wine. Every time I find something I really like at a reasonable price it seems to disappear

    As usual the food is good, the service and ambience are good. The staff is cordial and pleasant. The addition of the classic menu and family style option is a plus.

    I recently dined at Spuntino Wine Bar Italian Tapas Restaurant in Clifton NJ and, unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations. The food was bland and overpriced. I expected a more flavorful and well-prepared dish. Unfortunately, it felt like something I could have made at home for a fraction of the cost. I hope they improve the quality and offer better value in the future.

    My partner and I had a great experience dining here at Spuntino! Amazing Italian food, along with a variety of cocktails to choose from. The service was great and attentive the whole meal and made suggestions of pairing food and drink. We are definitely going back soon for drinks at the bar to try more of their amazing specials!

    Meatballs & chicken parm both delicious . Bruschetta was too hard to chew, just picked at the shrimp. And my friend thought the tomatoes in her carbonara was not a good fit. Service was very friendly and attentive .
