| - First, I must say I LOVE Spinato's! My family has been going here for years and will continue to do so. But, I am giving the new Spinato's on 7th St only 4 stars for a few reasons:
1. The bar and patio are great but, the dining area lacks the charm of the old Spinato's. I feel it looks similar to seating in a Denny's or cafeteria-style restaurant, not cozy, no charm!
2. The new bread on the DaVinci is not as good. It's on too much bread and the bread is harder, which makes the sandwich difficult to eat. I now ask for it to be lightly toasted so the bread isn't too hard.
3. I picked up a pizza last night and asked for 2 ranch dressings. I was charged $1.01 and received 2 tiny containers, each about 1/2 full with approx. 3/4 of a tablespoon of ranch.... Really?!?! I found this to be grossly overcharging and disappointing and told the waiter my feelings. If you are going to charge for ranch, at least fill the tiny containers.
4. I miss to-go cups! I get food to go a lot and would love to get an ice tea or Pepsi with your fabulous pellet ice to enjoy with my meal.
These things excluded, I would give Spinato's 5 stars! The Mama's Spinach and Super Six pizzas are my favorites, the spaghetti, meatball and ricotta calzone is a yummy masterpiece, the antipasti salad with their house Italian is a perfect starter and I LOVE the pellet ice (although you must request it if you are at the bar). If you go at peak times, prepare to wait but, it will be worth it!
