The outside appearance of this place is misleading. The dining room is nicer than the strip mall front would lead you to believe. Everything we ate here was absolutely amazing. Brings me back to Italy. We will certainly be coming back and telling all of our friends about this place! We loved it! WE LOVED IT!!

This little neighborhood gem is too good to keep secret. The Highlands neighbors are fortunate to be within walking distance. A creature of habit, I always order the Carbonara or the mushroom risotto, and have never been disappointed. While that is what I order, I have probably tasted most of the menu and it is all delicious. Family owned and ran, Franco Carlos and all have created a warm, inviting, affordable option. You will not be sorry, just be prepared to wake up in the middle of the night craving the arancini balls
Stopped in for happy hour and loved the experience. Helpful staff, good wine recommendation, and interesting appetizer. I sat outside and enjoyed the afternoon sun, so I cannot comment on the indoors, though they seemed airy and nice.
What happened to this place? I've dined there a few times but, lately, I've only had take out from these guys and it's been delicious. With that being said, I tried to go back a couple weeks ago to dine in since I knew the foods good and turned out to be a really poor experience. We walked in to the entrance area that overlooks the open kitchen and up to the hostess station. We waited for nearly ten minutes - waiters came by and grabbed things from the hostess station, cooks occasionally looked up and went about their business but no one said a single thing. No "hang tight, we'll be right with you", no "Let me see where the hostess is", literally nothing from the 6-8 people that noticed us standing there. I finally asked one of the cooks whats going on and he waved up the girl who was the hostess from the back. The hostess told us it was going to be about 20-30 minutes before we would get a table which wasn't a big deal at all. We sat in the waiting area and asked the hostess if we could order a glass of wine while we waited. She told that the wait staff was busy and it was unlikely they would be able to get us a glass of wine. At that point we sad F this and left. We had a great dinner down the street at Spuntino where the owner seemed to have a magical ability to work the hostess station, the kitchen and the front of house. Unfortunately, Spatola seems to be a great example of great food ruined be the people who work there.
We had a great experience here. The atmosphere is great, and the food was absolutely outstanding. Our waiter was on top of things as well so across the board this was really awesome. We will be back for sure. Note- with the kitchen being open and how you pass it as you enter and leave, we took a moment to chat with the chef as we left. I recommend doing that if you go here.
Bang for the buck this place is one of the best Italian options in town. Nothing fancy with homemade pasta, great service, and very reasonably priced vino. Eat here. You won’t regret it.
Delicious food and friendly service at our new local family owned Italian restaurant. Newly opened. Cute patio. Great menu! Can't wait to go back very soon!
Everyone I know loves this place but I personally can't stand it. It is very nice inside with gorgeous appointments and has a very nice bar and patio. The service is always excellent. My issue with the place is that the food options are unusual and it feels like they're trying to hard to be unusual deliberately for the sake of it. The result is unfavorable dishes\u200b that always make me a little nauseous that evening. Everyone else I know can't get enough of this place though.
