We had a four top on Friday night. It was a lively early loud crowd and it quieted down by the time we left around 8 pm. The food was much better than we expected. Our experiences when Spano's was in Jackson on Manhattan Street were awful. Friday was a real improvement. I had the shrimp, chicken, sausage,lobster over linguine,... More

We were not impressed with our meals. I’m just not sure what everybody see’s in this place. The food was average, just ok. My wife and I had the veal parmesan with a potato & vegetable. The veal was very crispy / crunchy with sauce and melted cheese. It seemed like it was fried, not baked in the oven. The... More

My wife and I were down for the weekend putting our house in Bay Head back together after having major repairs done from Sandy damage. How great it felt to walk back into Spano's and feel like everything was normal again! The food here is just fantastic - nothing more needs to be said. I had the seafood fra diavolo... More

I had a private party here and everyone raved about the food. We had a sit down family style party and there was so much food, we ended up taking so much home. I looked into many places and this one was the best value for what we had. Very friendly and accommodating.

Four couples had dinner here last Friday evening. Many entrees to choose from. Everyone in my party raved about the taste of the food and the nice portion sizes. Atmosphere was excellent, service was great and all-in-all made for a perfect dining experience.

NJ may be the best place in America to get Italian food. Spano's served an excellent meal. I had a pasta dish, and my wife had the seafood feast, both were tasty and plentiful. There was no line on a Friday night, though we had been warned there would be. I will go again.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Spanos represents the traditional italian food. Everything that I have eaten is always fresh and excellent as soon as the food touches my mouth. The flavor is amazing. My favorite special is the Pork Chob Balsamico. Excellent taste very nice and tender. The appetizers are fantastic. Fried Calamari is out of this world, cooked... More
