    Love this restaurant. It's one of our favorites, especially on Monday nights when Les Koel is the live music. Our server, Mark, was excellent and also kudos to Clarissa. Food is great! We love the octopus appetizer and the chicken picatta entree.

    We absolutely love everything about Spiga. We were recently there on a Friday evening and our amazing server, Gabriel, was super with recommendations. The restaurant is nicely laid out/organized, super clean too. Food as always was wonderful. We tried something new for us, the Grigliata di Pesce (for two).....excellent; if you are a seafood lover, you'll enjoy this dish. Great serving size for two; every item on the tray was cooked perfectly - tasty, tender, and lots of flavor. Great staff of folks working and managing Spiga. Highly recommended. See you all again soon.!
