While visiting Denver this past August, we dined at Spuntino based on online reviews. It didn't dissappoint. The menu had many creative dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. The service was exceptional. We loved eating there so much we came back two more times in the same week. I highly recommend Spuntino as a great place to experience their gourmet menu.
Oh my Goodness!
Finally had a chance to visit this restaurant.
Came here for a celebratory dinner with my daughter. Got a cozy table by the window.
From the moment we walked in, we received a
a warm welcome. The ambience and decor of the restaurant is beautiful.
They have an amazing wine and beverage list.
And the food was Fabulous! Our server was great and the owner was gracious enough to check in on us. Oh and the dessert!! Gotta order their ice cream sampler!
All around ... 10 !!
My new favorite neighborhood spot, besides Brazen (but I'm biased ;) ) This will be my home away from home. Owners Cindhu and Elliot as well as bartender/server/hostess Anna (girl of many talents) made us feel more than welcome. The food was delicious! We had the picnic as well as the additional cheeses and olives they had available. I wish restaurants that flaunted a cheese board had this type of selection. and the Apple butter!! OMG devine!! WE also had a few dishes: octopus, elk tartare, and rissotto-All were superb. I wish I could have purchased a jar to take home. They have house made amaros which were so fun to try and source many local ingredients!! AND a great wine list!! This is a must go, great neighborhood spot and is now one of my absolute favorites!!
The atmosphere is great - cozy and comfortable. We had dinner for Denver Restaurant Week. The selections were not only from their regular menu but good portions and delicious! They were very busy but the acoustics are great and we could hear each other. A huge plus! I'll definitely be dining here again! A++!
Sharing a Birthday with Someone Special at Spuntino!!!! Warm Inviting Room, Great Service, AMazing Food!!!! Can't Wait to Get Back!!!
Excellent! Small space. Good wine list. Some farm to table.
Such a great night, wonderful entrees and wine pairings!Learned a lot about each wine we drank!
Our server was sweet and super informative. The food was amazing and the house soda was delightful. Definitely coming back!
Quality, intention, reverence—you can feel it via the food, chefs and wait staff.
Excellent menu-knowledgable staff-fine wine selection. We enjoyed it very much!
Loved everything at this neighborhood restaurant from the time we walked in till the time we left.Tyler was amazing the food was above and beyond thank you chef
Fantastic husband (FOH, Bar) and wife team (BOH, chef) committed to freshness, seasonality and delicious flavors. If you have the chance, enjoy a meal here!
This was a warm welcome on a snowy spring evening. The cocktails, wine, formaggio, ensalata, and lamb were perfect to warm our cold bones. Delicious! And it was lovely seeing Anna's friendly face.
Delicious and fantastic service! Thanks for making our celebration extra special. We'll be back!
Hands down my favorite restaurant in Denver! Not only is the food exceptional, but when you add the atmosphere and the hospitality, you quickly understand what separates good from great.
Solid all around the board for the place. Fair pricing for great food, but not a deal by any means. Portions are meant to instigate a app + entre pair. All food was very good and unique, but definitely different - well worth a try in my opinion.
Food is a Italian and Indian combo in the most simple terms. Really tough to make this combo work, but I think the chef did a good job.
What really stood out here to me were the drinks! I had4 different drinks total and they were all really awesome. Since the food is so expensive and didn't completely blow my socks off and isn't really a bargain, I'd come back for the drinks only if I wanted to do a fancy cocktail night.
Oh, and we got some free Lemocello as a "desert.". Was super tasty and appreciated!

A great restaurant with an idea. Classic Italian cuisine, where care is taken to ensure the quality of ingredients and ensure that the pasta is al dente, but you may also encounter a surprise here. The chef dear introduces Indian flavors. this combination creates the perfect place for an evening full of positive surprises. as I wrote earlier - the pasta was cooked perfectly. We tried the pasta of the day (carbonara) and Capellini Aglio e Olio - this is a dish with a very distinct taste, maybe not everyone will like it due to the presence of curry, but it is worth trying because it is something new. As for the main courses - the lamb was so soft that you didn't have to bite it. It melted in your mouth. Also among the classic dessert proposals you can find the influence of Indian flavors - I recommend panna cotta. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated. You can sit at the bar, talk to the staff and watch the chefs prepare your dishes. If I return to Denver, I will definitely visit Spuntino again.
My friend and I were in Denver on vacation and stopped here on our last night! The service was fantastic-everyone was so kind and took such good care of us while we were there! The food was also amazing! We highly recommend the scallops and donuts for dessert! Everything was truly amazing and meal we will remember for a long time.

I am very particular in hospitality, was in the business as a bartenderfor 14 years, and trust my review. Greeting was great at the door, and Ari made us feel at ease as we sat down. I just had my car totaled earlier in the day on my birthday, so I needed it. We loved Ari so much that we were very sad to see her go, but the rest of the experience was still fantastic. Seamless transition to our server, Janine. We had the insalada and aranchini for appetizers, and they were fantastic. If you love gorgonzola like I do, get the salad. They had one more lasagna but I didn't get it. But, they took care of me as they read the sadness on my face. Possibly, they recognized my love of lasagna and knew I would come back, but I am a good poker player and thought I hid it (but they were spot on, and I have never played poker for a serving of lasagna). My wife got the tagliatelle and I got the Indian/Curry/Italian dish (capelinni aglio with egg) and we were both very happy. My wife and I actually battled over hers, but just know the tagliatelle was very green. The Costi Di Moro red wine was a lovely wine for your meal. I will be back for the lasagna without a doubt. This is a 6 out of 5, I hope you get Ari or Janine as your server, and know this was a decision I will never regret for any occasion. If you get Janine as the server, just say "get me whatever you recommend. Thanks." Definitely recommend and see you there!
I celebrated my birthday at Spuntino and I am so glad this is the place I chose. The diners next to me told me they've won a James Beard Award for Hospitality, which is not surprising at all because the whole team took such good care of me including giving me a little birthday truffle. The service is so wonderful and the food is good - I especially recommend the elk tartare. I wish I had a bigger stomach because so many of their pastas and desserts sound so good and can't wait to come back again.

The indian inspired pasta is definitely a dish I would go back for. It was super unique and the way they balanced the fusion of flavors was perfectly executed in that dish. The other dishes were good, classic Italian flavors, not the most captivating, but still good. The indian pasta dish is what takes this place to the upper echelon
Everything we ate was amazing!! Came for my husband’s birthday and will definitely be back. The staff were all so kind and gave great recommendations as well!
A-a-amazing! Order the whole menu, everything is *chef’s kiss*
Warm olives: who knew olives that are warm are so wonderful
Verdure: seasonal vegetable spread, the flavors are good, some vegetables were pickled so that really opens up your palate.
Alce crudo: amazing, it’s a elk tartare. Don’t worry it’s not gamey.
Crab and potato cakes: the potato cake had a very interesting crispy but chewy texture, love it
Agnello: the lamb melts off the bone, so tender! So flavorful
Daily pasta special: greattttt!
We came to Spuntinos for my 65th birthday, what a spectacular restaurant. The owner, Cindhu came out to say hello to our Son and Daughter-in-law who are frequent guest. Pictures are of Focaccia e Ricotta with the roasted garlic. Olives, served warm with spices. Arancini, traditional risotto balls, to die for. For our main course we had Raviolini, that were filled with cheese and dates. I had the Pasta del Giorno that was a fettuccine pasta with a lemon butter with fresh saffron and prawns. Our waiter, John has been here over 10 years and was so awesome going over the entire menus with us.
Really incredible dining experience. The food was outstanding and the service was absolutely top notch. Cute local spot with great ambiance and definitely would go back again for a special occasion or just really good dining experience. Highly recommend!!
Our favorite restaurant in Denver! We’ve dined here for 4 times over a year, and enjoyed every visit and every bite. We are taking our friends to dine there again today, and we look forward to it. The service is great and cocktails are the best in town. If you like Manhattan, don’t miss this place. They use a special vermouth from Italy and that makes a huge difference. Bartenders here take pride making the drinks. A cozy neighborhood restaurant with delicious foods and a nice bar with great cocktails. You see people work at the kitchen diligently, and the female Chef Cindhura Reddy occasionally stop by and chat with you. You definitely feel welcome here. I would say it is creative Italian restaurant infused with the best from South Indian cuisine, uniquely tasty with exotic spices. This has become our go-to place. I highly recommend it!
Me and and my buddy came here because he had been here before and was in love with the lasagna! We came from Colorado Springs, CO. The place was packed on a Wednesday night so we had to eat at the bar. Our waiter/bartender was Victor, and he was awesome! My friend has been in hospitality in the past and I am still in the hospitality/restaurant profession, as a server. Our server, the food quality, the atmosphere were all top notch! It's a small place, the menu is limited and somewhat pricey, but it's all worth it!
I loved it!! I absolutely loved it - I’d say it’s a combination of new American style meets Italian. I went for my birthday and the staff were so kind! Especially when my date was 50 minutes late (yeah I know, I should’ve left, but I wanted to dine here).
The pink peppercorn cocktail was perfect. They complimented me the goat cheese fried bites (it’s called something else), melt in your mouth! The elk tartare was mouthwatering and exactly the esoteric things I look for in restaurants!! The last thing was the tortellini - surprise of flavor
My husband and I came here to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and it did not disappoint! Our server was absolutely amazing and surprised us with a couple special treats to celebrate. It was such a special environment and experience. The burrata dish was one of the most delicious things I have ever had. We love the Indian influence on the dishes.
Third time and loved it as much as the first and second. The vibe is energetic. People are talking, drinking, eating, and enjoying. The food is unique and delicious. We ordered a few appetizers and mains and all of us loved our dishes. About the service: our gal was attentive, fun, and professional. She was wonderful. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Denver because every experience has been consistently fabulous.
This was a great place to start the night. We called ahead to grab a table. Our server was knowledgeable and made our night great. We had an appetizer and drinks. I had the bournator sr and my wife had the garden of Tom Bombidil. They were amazing. We had their homemade bread and cheese. We finished our bread and they brought us a fee more to finish off the rest of the cheese. Amazing. Matt was spectacular and really had us grinning and laughing. He was a wonderful server.
We always have such an amazing experience at Spuntino’s!! We have been a handful of times and their staff always go above and beyond. They have a great variety of dishes and delicious wine to pair it with. HIGHLY recommend Spuntino’s!! 10/10. Best spot in Denver.
Everything about this dinner was amazing! John was our server, super knowledgeable and friendly. Everything we ate was delicious. The salad seemed a little lacking but I think that’s just because everything else we got was soooo flavorful and unique! Our favorite was the chefs seasonal vegetable board selection. AMAZING! We will be back again soon!
