Spoleto - Northampton

I arrived just before closing after a long drive home from an event in CT, and the bartender was incredibly friendly and accommodating. She was extremely...

I'm a little worried that this restaurant is listed as being on Bridge Street. The Spoleto I visited felt more like it was on Main Street, but I digress...

I really enjoy Spoleto's. It's easy to find something tasty on the menu, and there are plenty of comfortable seating options along with great drink selections. I've dined and had drinks there multiple times, and each experience has been enjoyable.

I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant since it has a long history. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations based on the reviews. The service was just okay, and the quality of the food didn’t justify the price. I've had better Italian food at lower prices! I wouldn’t choose to return to this restaurant. However, they do have a great drinks menu, so it could be a nice spot to enjoy some drinks.

Spoleto was a real disappointment to me this evening. I ordered the cod. Four small pieces of cod came on a bed of tomato paste with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were watery and spread out to look like a large portion. The braised greens probablywere the best. They were simple greens sauteed in olive oil and garlic. While they were a small portion, still that portionwas larger than the fish which might have weighed 3-4 oz. at the most. The cost of this was $26.00. The server wasprofessional and did everything well. If you are hungry and looking for good food, there are several places in Northamptonwhere you can sit outside, bring a bottle of wine, and enjoy fabulous food for half the price.
