| - The first time I came to Vespa I fell in love. I had a wonderful waiter who was from America that was so personable and informative about the menu and the drinks that I was convinced this would be my new spots; especially since it is just feet from my door. The Wednesday night specials are fabulous, half off appetizers seemed like a slam dunk. Sadly, the second time around my opinion changed. Vespa is in my opinion a typical "Liberty Village" overpriced restaurant that is below par. The Pizza was average, not worth the $15.00 with a $2.00 add on for basil. I can buy a PLANT of basil for $1.00, give me a break. The Lasagna slice was an embarrassment. My fiancé finished it in under 2 minutes, and he isn't a huge guy. The portion was so tiny, I'm Italian and that's not the way we do things. The waitress told us about the $1 an ounce wine special, but failed to mention that it was for only "house wine." Needless to say I was totally underwhelmed by the food, nothing stood out with great flavor that we tried. I am not going to comment on the Pizza because I did change an ingredient, but I highly doubt in any case I would think it was worth the $15.00. Unless it is a Wednesday....venture outside your door and leave the Village for good Italian food and don't waste your money here. Keep on Moving! Not worth the $58.00, but the marinara was very good, it had chunks of tomatoes in it...not $58.00 worth good though.
