   The whole experience, from the interactions with staff, the creativity of the menu (food and beverages), to the preparation and presentation by the kitchen, is just consistently genuine and delicious. So fortunate to have Spuntino as a dining option.

   We were extremely impressed on our first visit to Spuntino. The service was excellent and the server very knowledgable. The cocktails were unique and delicious. The focaccia was warm and flavorful, served with a delicate ricotta and the warm olives went well with it. Our pasta dishes were excellent as well. Can't wait to go back!

   Indian-Italian fusion is the fusion I didn't know I needed but do now. Wow. The crab salad in particular I could probably eat for at least one meal every day forever. The cocktail I had was a nice LotR reference but also one of the more inventive and delicious cocktails I've had in a while. The focaccia was the best I've ever had with the texture - just a slight crunch but still moist and delicious. 10/10 will be back.

   I always have low expectations rations for places that are booked several weekends out. They’re usually not worth the wait. This one was absolutely worth it! The charcuterie board, pastas, and gelato are amazing. Definitely coming back here and taking others with us.

   So, so glad to read such kind words! Thank you for joining us and always keep in mind that you can call ahead for bar seats on busy nights - we're always happy to squeeze people in last minute if they're flexible!

   Hey Jenna, I'm so, so sorry for that wait. While Friday did bring some unexpected challenges for us, we've always taken pride in rolling with whatever quirks come with being a small restaurant like ours without it affecting our guests and we're sad that we let you down. I'm glad to see you did enjoy the food, but if there's some way we can make it up to you, please do reach out. All the best, Elliot S (Co-owner) elliot@spuntinodenver.co m

    Excellent, professional service from John! But the star at Spuntino is Chef Cindhu’s gorgeous seasonal menu. Everything we ordered was delicious, creative, and perfectly prepared. Homemade pasta was dreamy, especially the cavatelli with nettle pesto and pork sausage. Do not miss the house made amaros! The ambience is totally charming; it was a special meal!

    The pasta di giorno with duck confit and the maiale were outstanding - complex flavors well matched, perfectly prepared. The Veda aperitif was a finely balanced amaro and herbal after-dinner digestivo. Service was attentive, friendly, and thoroughly professional. We have never been less than delighted with meals at Spuntino.

    We went to celebrate Mother’s Day. The food was outstandingly delicious. The ambience was a mix… a couple at the bar was even wearing nail salon flip flops and their shoes/socks were on the floor. There was also a child screaming and screeching non stop the whole time we were there. I wouldn’t say it was a sophisticated or romantic spot but the food is superb.

    This was my first time at Sputino, in for Mother’s Day dinner. We shared the crab appetizer, the raviolini, and the salmon. Our server was excellent and very attentive, made great wine & food suggestions and sought the sommelier when needed. We were treated to complementary limoncello, and an amaro tasting after dinner. I also really appreciated that the servers are still masking and that the guests are asked to show proof of a Covid vaccination before dining. I rated the food as a four because I would make a few minor changes. The potato pancake served with the crab was a bit too salty and overpowered the crab. The crab itself was super fresh, and I loved the herb purée and micro greens. The raviloini were delicious, just slightly under cooked. Awesome favors though; highly recommend…Bright lemon with sautéed ramps. And finally, the tapenade on the salmon was too strong for my taste, but—to be fair—I’m not a big fan of kalamata olives. (I think the tapenade would be best in dollops vs a smear, so it could be avoided if desired.) The couscous was nicely herbaceous and the salmon was perfectly cooked. All in all, it was a great meal with truly excellent service; I hope next time I’m in I have room for the burrata.

    As always, Spuntino did not disappoint! Excellent service, delectable food, and lovely ambiance. Staff always goes above and beyond to make us feel special. We enjoyed the seafood appetizer and arancini—both were delicious. The wine was perfect. The house pasta dish was wonderful, light, flavorful and a nice serving. My friend had the duck confit anagnaloti and absolutely loved the flavors and the homemade pasta. Thank you for such a nice welcome and such a beautiful meal.

    From food to service to the cocktails/wine menu, Spuntino was excellent. Servers were thoughtful and had excellent suggestions. The cocktail list was fantastic as well, you gotta try their take on the bourbon cocktails. And we were expecting great food, but the actual food blew us away, especially with the Indian influence in the typical Italian dishes that Chef Reddy put in. The focaccia was just right with a terrific Ricotta spread. The Arancini just exploded with the egg yolk aioli. For the mains, the aglio olio with the egg was brilliant but even better was the turmeric cauliflower with the onion pakora and korma which was a plate with a multitude of flavors which blended in perfectly. Must visit when you are in Denver. If I had to force a criticism, it would be that it was a tad louder for a typical fine dining night.

    A restaurant of great ambition and many accomplishments whose food is compromised by a persistent flaw: vibrant and surprising flavors undermined by boring textures. The elk tartare is an appropriately alarming, internal organ-looking flesh grenade that is equally tender all the way through. It needs more structure, more crunch, and more fluid than the scattering of crunchy noodles underneath it. the arancini have a perfectly cooked exterior, but the creamy interior is barely distinguishable from the two too similar pastes that sauce them. The pasta is drowned by an intensely flavorful sauce that highlights its limpness and lack of body. I’m being harsh. There’s genius in these dishes. And also mistakes in concept and execution.

    SpuntinoResponded on May 4, 2022

    So sorry you seemed so distinctly put off by the textures of those dishes. They have been favorites of many of our guests and this is the first time we've heard any such criticisms. We wish you had felt comfortable saying something to us in person rather than waiting to share these thoughts online. We take a lot of pride in providing personal service and would have been more than happy to replace those dishes with something that might have better suited your preferences if only we had known.

    Spuntino shines in every aspect. The food was really delicious. The service was spot-on -- attentive and friendly. Wine list has some less expensive choices, which we appreciate. It's a small space, but the tables are not on top of each other, which is good, especially for us older people who might be having challenges in a noisy room. Which this is, but we were almost in a corner, and that helped our ability to have a conversation. This spot is really a "neighborhood gem."

    The verdure "charcuterie" was promising, but ultimately uninspired, save the broccoli raabe balls. Those were quite nice. The Indian spice influence on Italian-based pasta doesn't completely work. We felt we were at a purported Italian restaurant that would rather be an Indian restaurant. The desserts; the torte and the things that were like donut holes completely missed the mark. The saffron liquor was really nice.

    I'm sorry to hear that dinner wasn't what you hoped. We're rather sad to hear that you had some of our guests' favorite dishes and still didn't enjoy them. What is most disappointing is that despite how pleasant your server John, my wife (our chef) and my interactions with you both were, you didn't share any of this with us last night and instead waited to write this here. We appreciate that you tried our restaurant and sorry to have disappointed you so. Best, Elliot S
