My family of 4 went last night, and we have significant food issues, being that we are no-shellfish pescatarian.
The lovely waitress was helpful and matter of fact, letting us know the many, many items that would work for us. We were very happy to have lots of interesting choices.
The zucchini flowers were among the best i've ever had, including in Italy. Each of the 4 pastas we ordered was perfect and MASSIVE. The Cod was not my favorite, but I "got" it.
Glass wines were better than decent and it was a long list of selections. I had the primitivo and quite liked it.
The bottom line is that this is the best meal I have ever had in a restaurant in New Rochelle, living here since 2013.
Other than Cipriani and Celeste in NYC and Josephine Estelle in New Orleans, this is the best pasta I've eaten in the United States.
Keep in mind, this is not an inexpensive restaurant, so expect to spend from $50 to $80 a head. I suggest sharing.
Lovely little family restaurant; owner and wife are super nice and were happy to have an authentic Roman (me!) there last night. Food was pretty good. Definitely recommend and will go back!
A small neighborhood restaurant that’s as good as any in Rome or Italy. Tjere is no menu. The Amatriciana is incredible. The eggplant, fig, pistachio sauce is amazing and very unique. I highly recommend it. Our waiter, Irene, was wonderful. We will definitely be back!
This place is, "The Best for authentic Italian cooking." Im not kidding, you wont find this on Long Island or Manhattan.
We opted for 8 appetitizers tonight, glass of wine, and dessert. For apps we had, Zucchini Flowers stuffed w mozzarella, rice balls, meatballs, clams w tomatoes in broth, eggplant, another eggplant in walnut puree, and artichoke. No room for pasta or entree but, we will be back. Food passing by was luring, Osso Bucco, pasta, chicken caccitore, belissimo! For dessert we had the best Cappuccino in my life with a Berry Tiramisu. These people know there food. 5 Stars. Make a reservation. Only 6-8 tables.
Portions are generous. I really appreciate they follow the original carbonara recipe (raw egg, guanciale, pecorino and black pepper), however I would try to cook using a different guanciale (not easy to find a very good one here in the US, I know)
I felt as if I was sitting at the table of my home.
Best authentic Italian cuisine I have tried.
Rina, Antonio & Irina (pardon me if I misspelled your names) made me and my family feel so welcomed so much so am coming back today before I head back home (RI) to have an expresso.
The visit was a little disappointing, as I was expecting a “real Italian” meal.
The garlic bread was OK, but could get no flavor from the raw garlic clove.
Rice ball Amatriciara appetizer was underwhelming, expecting to “knocked out”, but just OK.
Mare & Monte pappadelle had good components, shrimp & asparagus, but the noodles were too al dente for me.
Finally, it was a nice surprise to get the amaretto drink to finish.
Maybe this was “real Italian”, just expecting too much.
It’s the great place to spend an evening. Besides excellent Italian dishes, seafood, asobuca, tiramisu, etc., it has good wine selection for the evening, fast and respectful service, and unique European restaurant flavor. The chef has outstanding capabilities to customize any of your orders. The food is worth the price.
Go to Spadaro once and you'll never want to eat at another Italian restaurant again. They raise the bar so high here, that every other Italian restaurant becomes mediocre...with the exception of maybe traveling to Rome. Rina and Irina are the consummate hostesses, while Chef Antonio works his magic in the kitchen!
Cozy and authentic! The food is delicious and it brought me back to Italy! It feels like home! Highly recommended!
