“The strawberries flambé were a great way to finish the meal and were quite a show; fire at the table is always fun!”
“The individual portions are sharing friendly also.”
“parking is tight around the area – look for meters that turn over – that's your best luck or go w/their valet parking.”

we had a good dining experience. called ahead that day for reservation and they were able to accomodate us easily. parking is tight around the area – look for meters that turn over – that's your best luck or go w/their valet parking.
servers were attentive and helpful – they had a ton of specials – so many that we were amazed the waiter could remember it all and so many we forgot after a while what to order. they started us w/bruschetta which was quite tasty. for appetizers, we ordered the hot antipasti which was good – had mushrooms, stuffed clams, shrimp, eggplant rollatini. all tasty and sauce was yummy. and salad.
for entrees, we tried their paperdelle (homemade pasta special) w/vodka sauce which was def their best dish. also had the veal w/prosciutto, cheese & shrimp (yes all in 1 dish), chicken parm, chicken cutlet (for the kids) and the flambee for dessert.
the servers were great every step of the way, portioning and tending to all even the kids. very accomodating and attentive. we liked this much better than don peppes b/c of their wide selection, attentiveness and the fact that they take cc!
highly recommend and honestly only came across this find b/c of the yelp reviews so thanks to the yelpers out there for making this rec!
I came here with two friends and let me just say wow. First of all the service was amazing the the food that followed was even better. Food is done family style, we started with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes then shared Penne a la vodka and chicken Scarpiello. Everything was really good but I couldn't get enough of the chicken that came with potatoes, sweet red peppers and sausage. For dessert I enjoyed a mix of banana and strawberry Flambé.
I can't wait to come back.
Came here on Saturday night with the wife. Had a voucher and thought I'd check it out. First impression of the place was that it was loud and boisterous. Tables to close together where you can hear everyone conversing. The manager sat us literally in the middle of the noise. Dirty tablecloth on the table. Waiters running up and down the narrow path, twice scuffing my shoes. The red wine was not to my liking , so I stuck with the water.
The food we ordered was as follows:
Appetizers: stuffed mushrooms and Caesar salad. Both were not to our liking. Mushrooms had way to much garlic and oil. Caesar salad was just placed in a plate with a sloppy presentation. Waiter wasn't to cleanly himself, with numerous stains on a white shirt. Come on, be more presentable. Entree portions were sizable but felt short of the intended mark. My calamari marinara was a sea of sauce with little "life raft calamari " floating around. I picked at a few but that was it. Tasted like rubber, super heated. The penne my wife ordered was sub par as well. The only good thing was the broiled broccoli. The dessert we took home was unsavory and lackluster. This place is NOT for me. NEXT!!!!!!
I had to change my review just a little because I recently went back for actual dinner. Although the time before I went and had drinks and appetizers which were both very good and the service was excellent. This time when i went for dinner I didn't care for it too much. I asked the waiter what Penne Romano was (because it was a signature dish) I assumed it prob had some kind of Romano cheese in it. All the waiter said was "oh es con salchicha" I didn't like the fact that he told me in Spanish "oh that is made with sausage" He didn't give a good description of what the dish consisted of. What type of sauce? and why did he think it was OK to speak to me in Spanish and sort of brush it off as if I wouldn't want it? Anyway, I wasn't in the mood for sausage so i didn't bother to ask anymore about it. I wound up ordering the linguine with shrimp. It was basically Linguine (thin the way i like) with 4 sauteed shrimp in Marinara sauce. Their Marinara is just OK. Nothing great. The shrimp sort of had a funny taste. I didn't care for them at all. My friend ordered chicken parmigiana and her order didn't even come with pasta. It was one big chicken cutlet on plate with a lil sauce and cheese. I wound up giving her half of my pasta and she shared her chicken with me.
My friend wanted dessert and she ordered strawberry flambe. Its kind of cool how they make it right in front of you with a little cart that hold all the ingredients and a portable gas burner. I didn't have any dessert but my friend said it was good.
So I had to give it one less star because the actual food wasn't that great. I'm sure my friend might want to go back and if we do maybe I'll stick to the appetizers and drinks.
Following a movie at nearby Kew Gardens Cinema, with a friend, hunger pangs strike hard where inclement weather permits traveling afar. Spolini's was no disappoint for good quality Italian cuisine with professionalism attentive service.
My friend's diet soda at $2.50 and my Kamikaze cocktail on the rocks at $9.00 proven liquid revelry for the evening. Our dinner consists of one family style platter of Rigatoni alla Vodka at $22.00 shared holds substance and flavor. Bread distributed were served in olive oil which I prefer. The facility presents a lovely Italian countryside, clean and well stocked with basic amenities. Staff is very welcoming and friendly in true Italian hospitality.
