| - I've been to Spiga probably half a dozen times, and every time is amazing. I am one of those people that tries to get something different every time I go to a restaurant. Everything on the menu here sounds amazing, so I'll have to go back for sure many more times. Everything that I have already tried is fantastic. I'm not much of a review writer, but you all should know about this spot.
So...I'll pick a variety of recommended dishes by course. The beet "ravioli" salad is great- nice and light, juicy sliced beets with creamy goat cheese. The salsiccia pizza is amazing, thin crust italian-style, flavorful sausage and peppers, nice and crisp but not dry. The pollo parmigiana is a great lunch entree - so tender, sauce flavor and amount just right. Dinner entrees- I tend to try the specials, had Osso Buco recently which was phenomenal, extremely tender.
What really pulls this place together though is the atmosphere. It's beautiful inside, and it's got a nice calming effect even while busy (There is usually a crowd for dinner, so I'd suggest reservations especially if you're a party of more than two.) There are plenty of indoor seats for the heat of summer, but also a great patio area to take advantage of the weather the rest of the year.
I really like it as a lunch spot also. It's the same great food and you can sit and enjoy a leisurely lunch while being taken care of by the excellent staff. My server cued me in to the pollo parmigiana last time, which otherwise may be easy to overlook with all the more unusual dishes fighting for attention. Definitely glad he suggested that!! Also, the owner Fernando is very involved and caring towards guests. He always comes by and makes sure everything is just right.
