Lobster ravioli is delicate yet rich. Service is excellent. Bread pudding is decadent + a bit heavy for me. Perfect for sharing. Want to taste the bolognese + other offerings.

Spasso Ristorante is such a charming spot with authentic vibes and pasta dishes that are beautifully portioned—dainty yet flavorful and satisfying. We started with the prime rib spring rolls, which were spot-on in texture and flavor—light enough to still enjoy the rest of the meal.
For mains, I had the veal cannelloni, which was tender and superb, while the penne with chicken came highly recommended and did not disappoint—rich, balanced, and absolutely delicious.
We finished with the bread pudding and chocolate lava cake. Both were good but didn’t quite hit the same elevated level as the mains. My Spasso espresso martini was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the staff graciously swapped it for a glass of Justin wine, which was perfect.
We left with happy bellies and leftovers to enjoy later. Spasso is definitely a must-visit for authentic Italian and warm, welcoming service.

I’m disappointed to say the food quality was below average. The dishes were oversauced, and the seafood wasn’t cleaned properly. The service was great, but we come for the food. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning. (On a positive note, the complementary bread was excellent!)

This place is wonderful! Authentic Northern Italian in a beautiful old world setting! The wait staff is excellent and the food is superb. It is, however, very lively and a bit noisy when it is busy, but there is outdoor seating that’s much quieter reservations are a must on weekends!

Extremely disappointing I will never eat there again
The atmosphere because I got takeout and perhaps it was because it was New Year’s Eve and they were getting ready to close early. My food was not ready when I got there
They told me they wanted it to be fresh and warm
It was not warm when I got home less than 10 minutes later
And I keep a thermal bag in my car when I get takeout
The most disappointing was the crabcakes
They were buried under oily greens, and there was no reason for Aïoli
The crab cakes were drenched in oil
The salad wasn’t as fresh as I would’ve liked
And the main dish the chicken Parmesan was not good and the chicken was hard To chew
I get takeout on the Peninsula two or three times a month and this is my worst experience at any restaurant.
If they had been open by the time I got home, I would’ve asked for my money back and gladly returned the food
It cost me almost $100 and that’s a shame
Shame on them

Ate outdoor area. Calamari veggie combo was a different type of appetizer. Ordered the seafood linguine, very impressed with the amount of seafood they put in. Scallops, salmon,shrimp/prawns, clams and mussels. Service was very good and the atmosphere was pleasant. I would eat here again. All the other dishes were good according to the guests.

Extremely disappointing experience
I had a confirmed reservation at this restaurant on December 25th (Christmas Day). Originally, my reservation was for 7:45 PM, and when I realized I would be slightly late, I updated it through the app to 8:00 PM, which was clearly available, the system was allowing reservations even later that evening.
Upon arrival, the hostess informed us that the restaurant closes at 8:00 PM and that we would not be seated, despite having a valid and confirmed reservation. When I politely asked why reservations were still available at that time in the app, the response was dismissive and unhelpful, simply stating that it “must have been a system error” and that nothing could be done.
This was meant to be our Christmas dinner, a special evening planned in advance. By the time we arrived and were turned away, there was no time left to find another restaurant, and our night was completely ruined due to poor management and lack of accountability.
If the restaurant does not serve guests after a certain time, this should be accurately reflected in the reservation system. This was not a customer error, it was clearly an operational failure.
I left feeling extremely frustrated, disappointed, and disrespected. I expected far more professionalism

Spasso offers a pleasant ambiance in the heart of San Carlos Downtown. The olive oil dip accompanying the complimentary bread was delightfully flavorful. Our meal comprised of the burrata, pesto gnocchi pasta, penne with chicken pasta, and the chicken breast with pancetta entrée, all of which were enjoyable. To conclude the dining experience, we savored a decadent chocolate lava cake. I would love to visit again 🙂

We met family at Spasso’s for lunch and we had a wonderful experience!
They have indoor and outdoor dining available. Laurel St is closed for alfresco dining but there’s parking across the street.
We ordered the seafood linguini w/ prawns, scallops, mussels, rock shrimp, manila clams, fish in a SPICY marinara sauce. My wife enjoys spicy foods but it was too spicy for her.
I ordered the walnut crusted pork chop with sweet potatoes, and spinach. It was juicy and full of flavor.
The rest of the family had the salmon and the teriyaki skirt steak. They said the steak very tender and the salmon was grilled perfectlit
The table service was awesome. The staff were friendly. Thank you Spasso’s for a great dining experience!
