Vespaio Ristorante

Vespaio is intimate, fresh and service is friendly and accommodating. Here's what we ordered:Burrata: 7/10. Standard burrata. Nothing special. Caesar salad: 10/10. This was so fresh and I loved the fresh reggiano cheese on top. I'd definitely order this again. Suppli: 10/10. These balls are stuffed with rice and cheese, what's not to love? I also enjoyed dipping bread in the bed of marinara sauce.Spaghetti cacio e pepe: 10/10. I got a half order and it was filling and amazingly fresh pasta!

Delicious food! I loved the bee theme! The ambient lighting in this restaurant makes for a great mood.My only note is that you should expect to be here for at least 2 hours. The service is slow and the food is slow to come out. Everything is handmade from scratch when you order it so it takes a lot of time.I got the risotto del giorne which was very strong. I liked the crispiness of the chicken skin and it went well with the dish. I also loved the apple pieces, they were a nice burst of sweet flavor. The risotto itself was very rich, it feel like there were too many flavors competing in the dish, so my mouth was kind of confused.The tiramisu is a good end to the meal.

Sadly, I've only been to Vespaio twice and both visits were separated by 4 years. Although it had been quite some time between the two visits, their quality remained great! If you're planning to visit, I'd highly recommend making a reservation. It's a tight space and the tables have always been full when I've visited. It's an intimate space and great for date nights. They have a fantastic wine selection and plenty of food options to try. Both times, I opted for the Linguine Misto Mare (I like what I like I suppose lol). Again, having ordered the same thing twice over the span of 4 years and it still tasteeamazing both times should speak volumes!

Our New Year's Eve dinner at Vespaio was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped into the warm, inviting atmosphere, my boyfriend and I knew we were in for a treat. The restaurant's elegant ambiance set the perfect backdrop for our romantic celebration, with soft lighting and tasteful decor creating an intimate setting. What truly impressed us was the extensive wine list. The sommelier's recommendations perfectly complemented each course.The attentive staff added to the experience, providing impeccable service that made us feel truly special on this festive night. As we toasted to the New Year with our perfectly paired wines, we couldn't help but feel grateful for choosing Vespaio. It was an unforgettable evening of exquisite food, exceptional service, and the ideal setting to welcome the year ahead!

Vespaio deserves way more love! This hidden gem is the perfect date night destination that won't drain your wallet. Nestled right on South Congress, it's a prime spot just minutes from downtown. The menu is a testament to authentic Italian excellence without the sky-high price tag. I indulged in the cacio e pepe and supplì--both absolutely divine and bursting with flavor. Whether you're planning a romantic evening or simply craving exceptional Italian cuisine, Vespaio offers charm, quality, and unbeatable value.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in a long time. My partner and I had split the pasta. We had the pappardelle bolognese and spaghetti cacio e pepe. This is a must go place. I ordered drinks and they were heavy handed. I had to get a side of pineapple juice. :) the dessert was awesome we had bread pudding. Im going to go back for sure. Im dying to try their ravioli.Our server was the best and the atmosphere was great.

I took my Husband there for his birthday, such a cute place the Hostess was really nice and our Waitress was awesome!!! We asked her for recommendations and she did not fail us. From the drinks to the food Amazing

We've been here twice now and enjoyed the food both times so its time to leave a review! The first time we walked in for dinner and while there wasn't a table open they were able to immediately sit us at the bar. I got the Tagliatelle con Funghi which was creamy, rich, and delicious! I can't remember what my husband got but we both enjoyed our food and a glass of wine.More recently we made a reservation, though it was also a week day and not too busy when we arrived so we probably could have walked in fine. We parked on the street out front and I'll admit did not pay through the meter but were fine for about an hour visit. Not saying I recommend doing that but we were fine. For the food we started with the fried risotto balls- delicious and the fresh marinara was top notch and cut down the richness of the cheese risotto. For mains we both got specials that I don't see on the menu now but both were fantastic! The husband got orecchiette I think in a tomato sauce with sausage- clean, simple, and cooked perfectly. I got ravioli in a sauce with sauteed mushrooms and onions- the husband thought it was too rich haha but I loved it!! Service was good but nothing stands out in my memory, maybe because I was so focused on the food lol. Price wise, it is fairly expensive, but the portions are satisfactory (I took home half of my main) and it is delicious. Worth it for a date night!

Met a new friend, her parents, and some of her other friends for dinner here last week. I haven't been to Vespaio in years and it's still consistently good! They were really busy on a Thursday night and we were seated in what I think is one of their newer room sections. The food was yummy all around. I had the crab tortellini and others on the table had lasagna, salad, pastas, etc. We had some really nice wine too! Given how hard it is to park on South Congress these days, we were glad they had a complimentary valet option. I look forward to going back again and hopefully sooner than a few years from now.

Omg randomly was walking down congress and saw this spot and spotted a couple outside and they were like this spot is really good so we walked in and the atmosphere was so dope first of the lighting in here was perfect nice and dim and slightly intimate the music selection and atmosphere was spot on the right vibes and our server Ricky was so amazing from the start to the end his service was so top notch literally from the time we sat down was overall an amazing dinner experience
