" Vespaio was recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint! Their gnocchi was special – light but packed with flavor. The service was swift, and our waiter was attentive without being overbearing, which I appreciate. We didn't mind the pricing for such high-quality fare. I would come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance is very nice, but the food and service need serious re-evaluation. I found the pasta's flavor to be bland and overly simplistic. I was eager for a flavorful Italian experience and left feeling unimpressed. Not likely to return, frankly. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit was met with poor service and average food. I expect better, especially when paying these prices. The seafood platter was overpriced, particularly for the quality presented. The atmosphere is good, but the management needs improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" The quality of the food was decent, I enjoyed the gnocchi but didn’t find anything particularly special about the sauces. The staff were nice enough but definitely seemed overwhelmed, had to wait quite a while for our orders. It's a solid choice if you're near the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family has been visiting Vespaio regularly, and we've never had a bad experience. The chefs clearly care about the quality of their food. The last time I had the mushroom risotto, and it was delightful! The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for gathering with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very surprised by the level of service we received. Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive, and I was impressed with how fast our food arrived. The lobster ravioli was superb, rich in flavor, although a bit rich for my taste. The environment was pleasant and inviting. Worth trying! " (*Curated Review*)

" Vespaio has been an absolute gem for pre-theatre dinners! The scenery is tremendously cozy, and they have a well-cultivated menu. Highly recommend the burrata appetizer; it was to die for. Service is prompt and the ambiance makes it perfect for a nice dinner before a show. " (*Curated Review*)
