| - Definitely NOT a 2.5* as per the reviews, which most of them are old, more like 3.5*.
Disclosure: Came here for a UYE with other Yelpers as part of Savour York Region, a.k.a. Summer/Winterlicious in the York area. It was $25 for a 3-course menu, so it was definitely very good value!
I had Polenta con Funghi (w/ mushrooms in a tomato-based sauce), Gnocchi w/ Rosé sauce (Savour menu was offering it with Gorgonzola cream sauce, but I'm not huge on white sauce), & capped off my meal with Tiramisu.
Polenta - tasted like what my mom used to make me for breakfast...when she ran out of oatmeal. The cormeal part was bland, but the tomato-based sauce with mushrooms really made up for that.
Gnocchi - similar to the Polenta dish in that the carb portion of the meal was bland. Gnocchi was from a package, but the server said that the restaurant usually makes it from scratch. I really wish that I would've gotten a taste of the from-scratch version! The rosé sauce really stood out on this dish.
Tiramisu - Not made from scratch, not my fav. Out of the 3 courses, this was my least favourite. The other options weren't made in-house either and were cheesecake & pumpkin pie, which I assumed was seasonal.
Overall, I think Spigolo's previous Yelp rating was undeserved. Attentive service, intimate atmosphere, good portions for price, good sauces, and definitely not a 2.5* place!
