Spuntino is always a great go to place for a relaxed, reasonably priced meal. Readers should always keep in mind that I give a nearly perfect rating, but that is because it is excellent at it’s niche, but is not competing with some of the more expensive restaurants that I may rate lower because the expectation would be greater. Nevertheless, when my brother was in town, or I need a place to take my fiance, Spuntino is always a consideration. The laid back ambiance, stress free, relaxing service, and excellent food are great for any occasion. The wine list is especially well curated and a reasonable price. No regrets the next morning when you see the dinner receipt, either!

Had a great time at this location for a birthday dinner. My girlfriend liked everything that she ordered and to top it off it was our first time ever at Herb&Olive. The service was fantastic and everything came out pretty quick.
