Reviews for Spiga in New Canaan, CT
great service but a bit noisy on a sunday night. we had a refreshing little Spiga salad with bitter greens and creamy mozzarella... on the side. my main course was the homemade black Ink seafood pasta. It?s rich and full of sea flavor and a bit spicy. I cameback to this restaurant a year later just for this dish. my husband had the sunday gravy that had 3 kinds of meat in red sauce.I doubt anyone can finish this dish! Read more
My husband works nearby and would always comment about this restaurant and how it smelled so amazing from the outside. We... decided to come here to to say my farewells to my 20s (lol) and wow. Left this place speechless. The food was more than amazing.Every bite was incredibly flavorful and the service was flawless. We started with passion fruit margaritas, which were spot on,you can actually taste the liquor in them. For an appetizer, we did the calamari. They were so crispy yet tender, not chewywhatsoever. Very impressed. For entrees, I ordered the chicken Marsala, which is not your average Marsala. I?ve never hadMarsala prepared the way they do it here but it was so delicious, my husband kept asking for a bite. My husband ordered aburger, which he said was juicy and well cooked. The fries had a nice crunch too. We were blown away by everything we hadordered. Our waiter Alex, came by and said ?are you guys ready to be blown away again?? Because we could not stop talking abouthow great everything was. Alex suggested a few items and we decided on the brûlée cheesecake. Great choice. Overall, we lovedthe ambiance and enjoyed our time here. Our waiter Alex was great because he was prompt, made conversation, and was superfriendly. The busboy was also super attentive, he would make sure our table was free of dishes and would wipe it down. I?m soglad we came to Spiga. We will definitely return in the near future. I look forward to trying their brunch menu. Read more
This experience was unacceptable. I walked in, had no reservation and they told us we could only sit outside or on some... different place (not the booth) that felt very uncomfortable and was right next to the check in place. Few minutes later somepeople come in and they also don?t have a reservation and they got told they could either sit outside and they asked if theycould sit in the booths and they allowed them. It is unbelievable, I get treated in a lower manner. They didn?t even offer usthe chance to make a reservation right there. I am a hispanic woman and I feel very offended by this. Unbelievable service. Iwill never come to this horrible place again. Read more
The service was great, but the food was lacking. I had the spiga salad with shrimp which was okay, nothing special. I also had... the fettuccini pasta with lobster, that was good, not too heavy, some places make the sauce very heavy. The dessert was cremebrulee which was not good at all, i have had way better. Overall, i think 3 stars is fair. Read more
Have been here a few times over the past year and have always had great experiences, and really good food! Not the case this... time. We arrived on time for a 6:30p reservation and specifically asked for a booth. We were taken to the rear of therestaurant, near the kitchen. This was not going to work, as we have sat in this area before, and it?s very very warm. Theydidn?t have a booth available, so we were taken to a table at the front, not a big deal. The waitress arrived a few minuteslater to take our drink and app order and both drinks and apps arrived before 7. In the meantime we placed our dinner orders. 8ppasses by around and while we have been waiting for our dinner, there were 2 couples that sat after us, finished their dinnerand left. After speaking to our waitress, we were told that it would be another 20 minutes. We immediately spoke to the managerwho instead of coming up with a solve for our problem, decided he wanted to argue it in the middle of the restaurant. He went tothe waitress station and prints the order ticket and returns arguing that we just gave out order at 7:58p. This is obviously amistake, and nit?s clear the waitress didn?t enter the order or forgot about it. This went back and fourth for a few minuteswith Spiga management, and wait staff ultimately telling us, (the paying customer) that we were wrong. Needless to say, thatwill be our last experience in that establishment. As we were pulling out of the driveway, our waitress ran out and gave me thesunglasses that I left on the table. She obviously didn?t have to do that and I thought that was a nice gesture, especiallyafter the back and forth we had inside. Good luck to the Spiga team, hopefully you get this situation handled and get back togiving great experiences and amazing food! Read more
Great food!! Nice selection of Italian favorites and creative new takes as well. Some tables use stools rather than chairs. And... it can get pretty loud -- but the food makes up for these minor complaints Read more
Pretty good!!! Probably shouldn't have ordered a Greek salad at an Italian restaurant! Veal Saltimbocca was very good, but a... standard. Quite a bit of noise, but there on a Saturday night. Read more
Restaurant was very nice! Very busy not recommended for a quiet night out! I had the cioppino tasted ok but the shrimp were... over cooked and the lobster tail was very over cooked and rubbery! Read more
