Spago is where Wolfgang puck, and his second wife Barbara Lazaroff, started their amazing food Dynasty. He now has some 20-30 restaurants
And while it is but a mere shadow of it's past grandeur Spago still serves very good food.
Spago is a great place for a group of diners that have diverse tastes (vegetarians, kids,....picky eaters).
We ordered the following:
Margherita: fresh mozzarella, san marzano tomatoes, basil
Roasted Mushroom: sweet garlic, provolone cheese, cipollini onions, taleggio.
Fantastic crust, exceptional toppings, and perfect bake. Pizzas are still absolutely stunning....GET IT!
Caesar Salad: parmesan, ciabatta croutons, white anchovy. It is a small and disappointing salad...especially for the price. PASS
Maryland Crab Cakes: basil aioli, tomato relish, local petite greens. Very small portion for the price but the flavor is fantastic. If you got the coin GO FOR IT!!
Rigatoni: housemade bolognese sauce, ricotta, parsley. In a word Stunning. The pasta is perfectly aldente, the sauce incredibly flavorful, the ricotta is unlike anything I have had before! GET THIS!
My Niece had the Angel hair with butter and the pasta was fantastic...basic but all ingredients were wonderful!
We also had several desserts:
Valrhona Chocolate Soufflé chocolate sauce, caramel ice cream. Light and fluffy Souffle with great accompanying condiments. GET IT!
Seasonal Cookie Plate. In a word Underwhelming....PASS
Banana Caramel chocolate lava cake, banana coulis, salted caramel ice cream: Beautiful to look at and great to eat....small portion but every bite was packed with explosions of flavor. GET IT
Service is pleasant but scattered (somewhat unprofessional) : We had to ask for utensils and plates several times. The timing of service was awkward and plates were stacked on the table..not very appealing.
Great wine list.
I must point out that Spago will be moving to the Belagio in less than a year. Moving from a 20,000 square foot space to a smaller 12,000 foot place.
