Spuntini is another Yorkville restaurant that doesn't meet expectations. It's located right next to SOTTO SOTTO. A friend had arranged a dinner for eight of us on a weeknight. Thankfully we were seated right away but that's when the ordeal began. It took the waiter 45 mins to take our orders and bring some bread to the table and this trend continued all evening. We were there for 3.5 hours and not because we lingered over our meals or wine.
The food is not bad - I ordered the seafood for two and split it with my DH. The portion was pretty good and the seafood was cooked well although I wouldn't say it was the freshest seafood I have had. My main was the mushroom risotto and the rice was perfectly cooked but the mushrooms used were very underwhelming. I don't think they used any porcini at all.
The dessert was the only highlight of my meal. We shared the Dulce de Leche cheesecake and it was really great. But not sure if it is good enough for a second visit.
