Spuntino Wine Bar and Italian Tapas Reviews

Really diverse menu, small plates, Sylvia our server was attentive, friendly. Great space

Delicious! But....Small plates are tough to get used to. How many to buy? 3 for two people? My appetite is too big.

Expensive, but pretty good food and a great selection of wine.

I can't get enough of this place, it's very good. They definitely don't deserve the lower review scores once you understand it's going to be small plates packed with a lot of flavor. Yes you can easily spend $50.00 on a dinner for two but you will be stuffed having tried countless dishes. My favorite thus far is the Cannelini Bean Bruschette, Sweet Pea Risotto and the Brussel Sprouts.

If you want a full dinner(not small plate) that's traditional Italian just go up the street to Taste of Tuscany and you'll get your fill there.

Great place and food is amazing. Everything is small plates but the prices are great. Small plates are full of great flavors. Will be going back again.

Great atmosphere, but their cheese and meat appetizer plates are ridiculously expensive

The attention is excellent, extremely fast and pleasant .... The boys of the bar are careful for the attention !!! It is one of my favorite places in New Jersey ...

Went for a birthday party. Food was not bad, but not particularly memorable.

Came here for a work dinner meeting. Nice private room with PPT screen, which is very nice. Docked a star due to some of the dishes being served cold when supposed to be hot. However, service was great and would come back.

Love it! Visited many times and every time I enjoy a great selection of food choices.

Will never eat here again, the guy who takes the reservations is so unpleasant and unprofessional over the phone and in person. What a shame! Specially when there are so many better options and businesses who truly care about their livelihood!

I have been to this spot a few times but this is my first review. I always liked this spot and this time wasn't different. I parked in the shared parking lot with no issues. The restaurant had in and outdoor seating and we chose to sit indoors. The ambiance was nice and super clean. Our server was named Ava and she was nice, only problem was we had to search for her towards the end of the meal to get the check so got it from someone else. I'm not sure if she was making drinks as well. I ordered a red blend wine with the spaghetti pomodoro. My friend had the salmon and a couple beers from tap.

My wine was pretty tasty and the spaghetti was tasty as well. I added hot pepper flakes for a kick. My friend enjoyed their meal as well. I had a pretty decent time all in all and will be back.

Been here a bunch of times, but today was the first time for brunch and it was so good! Our waitress was great and the food was amazing.

Good place to hang out. Not noisy and the manager seems to care about customers
The bartender made weak drinks, even after I asked her twice. Not good

Great food and ambience! Good place to with families with kids.

The Food, Staff, and Atmosphere are Wonderful...my favorite spot

First time for everything, I took my daughter here dinner and I think we found our spot. The staff is great and tend to everything you need. My new place to eat YAY!

Never again, if your starving for dinner this is NOT the place to go, maybe the place next door you'll like better

The food here is excellent, but very pricey! Lunch for 2 was a little over $95.

Food was tasteful and the menu had a good variety of tapas food.

Loved this place. Really hit the spot for quality food and wine in New Jersey. I had a late lunch here so it was perfect portions.

Amazing taste and wine (fyi small plates only mainly shareable with selected regular sized portions

The happy hour is just when you sit in the bar, we didn't know and they charge us the regular price. But the food and the service is really good.

Really enjoyed their pizza, and meatballs! The food is very good, obviously it s tapas style so expect to get small portions, and a high bill lol! Great atmosphere, and staff is friendly! Definitely recommend, for a light dinner..don t come here hungry unless you re okay with spending a lot.

Went there for my bday. Staff was great, along with the drinks and food. Nice atmosphere, as well. I gave it four stars b/c the servings were a little too small. I realize it's tapas but little bigger servings and I would have given them 5 stars! I also informed one of the managers who came over and introduced himself, as well as our waitress, that it was my bday.
It would have been nice to have them do something special like stick a candle in my desert...or something???? It would have been nice to see them take that extra step.

Good food, quality ingredients but a bit high priced for what is essentially a chain restaurant experience. I enjoy it once in a while when in the mood for small plates and wine, but the price point keeps me from regular visits

Tried to enjoy a meal before a movie , figured I d go here as the tapas wouldn t take long to eat and make the movie in time . I waited for 45 min for a short rib pasta plate and salad. Not a big it s the pandemic probably short staffed cause of the pandemic. Food finally came I was late to the movie but whatever it s fine things happen . I check my bank the next day and I was charged twice ok let s wait till the weekend is over maybe one will drop off . Monday no drop off call the restaurant like to the manager he asked me to wait till Wednesday and it should drop off if it doesn t call back . Wednesday comes charge changed from pending to charged I call speak to Jim he assures me he will refund it within 20 minutes I explain that from my experience that s not that case it take a few business days and I m not sure what the manager on Monday didn t process it but ok i wait till the next day no refund.
I drive to the restaurant and speak to the operations manager she tells me she was informed yesterday and the GM Jim should not have told me I would be refunded and it show right away . The poor management here is the reason for the review the drink I had was actually very good the wait on the food no problem it was delicious. Management communication very poor setting expectations that are unrealistic 1st and last time eating at a Doherty enterprise owned restaurant.

They really do have a great happy hour at this place and their wine selection is great. The staff is really great and the price is very affordable

We had a delicious meal, our watress Kathy was outstanding. We sampled several offerrings. I wanted to try more. I will return.

The food was good. The drinks were better. The atmosphere was cool.

Everything is amazing here!! From the bruschetta to the wood fired pizza and desserts!!

We been here so many times and always coming back , never tired of real Italian food and wine . Also manager and hosts of this place keeping restorant level very high. They will never leave you with no attention and always make sure you feel comfortable and happy with food . Celebrate also my baby shower here , great place for holidays celebration .

I really enjoyed Spuntino's. The portions are small as you would expect, but they are super tastey, and they have a nice selection of wine which makes this place great for a date or evening snack. It's not a super casual place, so best not to go after they gym. Try and make reservations because they're pretty busy.

Christmas party was great. Good food and service and ambience.

Loved it here, I've always gone to all the other restsurants around here but my 1st time and the service didn't disappoint, small portion foods but if you habe different dishes you will come out full and a little tipsy with the wine! I'll come here again with my family! Was here for a wedding and it was fairly comfortable with more than 80 people in the room!

Always a pleasant staff, so accommodating and food is great!

Casual, attractive restaurant with tapa size portions... Food was good and moderately-to-more priced. Service was very good and friendly. Has a good selection of wines, but I don't like when my drinks cost more than my food. Will keep going for the food.

Love the ambience and the food. The staff are knowledgeable about the offerings, and helpful. They do have decent vegetarian options. That's a major plus in my books. It's always pretty crowded, but if you go in the in-between times, you'll find a place right away. Totally recommend

First time here. Loved it. Food was great. Small plates make it so you can enjoy a variety. Waitress was very friendly and helpful. And dessert?? Wow!!! I will be back.

Very special, to taste an exquisite wine and very good food in a pleasant atmosphere. I would definitely return ...

Loved the tapas style, food quality was good and staff was polite and attentive!

I have the great pleasure working for this company for 5 years and it seems to get better each and every time. My coworkers are absolutely fantastic. And the management team are wonderful. Who wouldn't like this awesome franchise.

Great tapas options. The crostini specials have been worth trying over the regular options. Great brussel sprouts. Everyone can find something to eat, even my picky daughter.

Great atmosphere. Everything is delicious. Just way too expensive. $4 for one piece of bruschetta. $20 for 2 tiny lamb chops. The wine flight was perfect. Delicious and just enough. Enjoyed myself but not sure I'll be back.

I like there happy hour. Nice food on a pricy side.

Small meals very pricey but they are quality and the taste is amazing. Bring over your loved ones if she has a small stomach becuase they serve small portion and the wine selection is great.

My family and I have been coming for the last few years, and have never had a bad experience. Food is always great, and staff is always super friendly and attentive. The meat and cheese board always goes over well, as well as the meatballs. The shrimp scampi bruschetta is also very good. I'd say that pizzas are a must, and the picante and funghi pizzas are some of our favorites. If you are looking for a pasta dish, the Bolognese is very good. Deserts are also very good too. This is a restaurant that I fefdefinit suggest you try.

Love this place. Service is usually quite fast. Been here with as many as 15 people and still have no complaints with service or food

After having a pleasant meal and wine as I m making out the tip on the receipt the waitress took my half drank glass of wine. They were not busy so it s not like she was trying to rush me out. If you re gonna charge nyc prices for a glass of wine you should give your customers the opportunity to finish and not assume they are done. Very RUDE !!! Train your staff better or charge less for a glass of wine.

Surprisingly good food and wine. Nice to sit at bar and snack. Good place to work in afternoon.

Very nice place for finger food and drinks and excellent friendly bartender

There were 4 of us who dined here on a Saturday night, none of which had been here before. We shared a few bottled of Riesling and bunch of different plates. We started with meats and cheeses, which were excellent. We then moved onto the traditional Bruschetta and a Shrimp Scampi Bruschetta - both had good flavors, although the Scampi was a touch oily. We then shared the Sausage and Broccoli Raab pizza - it wasn't my favorite, but it scored well with the table. We then moved onto Main courses, in which my girlfriend and I shared the Lamb Chops and Octopus. The Lamb was the star of the night for me - simple, but perfectly seasoned. The Octopus fell flat for us - it was a touch overcooked and lacked seasoning and acidity; that said, we had plenty of awesome food, it didn't bother us at all.

The service was really good. They had a good team atmosphere, in that when our server was busy, someone else was attentive to our table. This was a great experience and I will definitely be going back.

Execelent service, their tapas are superb, and lord that Risotto!!

Spuntinos is a gem ! ( My second visit here i did have a reaction to the lamp chops that was horrid) I spoke with the manager and we resolved things and I have been back several times since. The idea of tapas, Italian and wine is an amazing combo. I tend to grab the shrimp Bruschetta, the house white, the mussels and whatever else i may be in the mood for. Everyone I have bought here loved it. Great place to get comfortable have a great conversation and eat small portions slowly. I think i really adore it b/c I get to have several things instead of committing to one thing . PRO TIP- keep a menu at the table so as you are eating you can keep adding more if you need to !

Well keep place and clean. The cocktail I had was ok, it could have been better. I sat @ the bar. I think they are now for the good battle of wine & tapas. I had a pizza meatball was very good.

The happy hour drinks and meals are an amazing deal. Food is great and very worth the price

Absolutely love this place! Can t get enough. Service is always very pleasing and food is delicious. Highly recommend.

I absolutely love this place. I first came here with my boyfriend and we fell in love with the small tapas portions and the wine. We ordered some cheese and hard salami to start, then flat iron and pasta. The ciambells were also delicious at the end of our meal. Our server was also very nice and outgoing. Ever since then I always come back and try to bring someone new to share the experience! Keep it up guys!

Very good experience overall- good service great food and atmosphere. The bar and the cocktails not so much

They made very good wine recommendations, food was delicious, we felt welcomed

Lobster risotto was fine. Ciambelli with sauce dip was yummy.

Great food and excellent service. Definitely need to get back to this place.

A beautifully designed restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service is impeccable supported by the manager who genuinely stops at your table to ask how your evening is going and elegantly pours your wine or water depending upon your preference. You will love the food. It is a win/win evening out.

Very good, a little pricey for the portions, I guess that's to be expected from a tapas restaurant

Very nice and excellent place to enjoy with family or friends

nice ambience, staff is great and will warn you about the serving size:). so, do not bring your appetite hehe.

We recently held a Graduation Party at Sputinos for 40 people. The setting, food, and service could not be any better!! We were overjoyed by the quality and quantity of food offered at a more than reasonable price. Most importantly, the warmth and professionalism provided by the General Manager, Brian McAllister, was exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and gracious. All of my future events will be held here!

Great Italian food served tapas style. Not cheap, but good food! Excellent cocktails.
