ABOUT WINE & TAPAS"You gotta try this.""Pass your plate over here."Can I have a sip?""I want one of everything.""Here, take my fork.""I'll have a glass of what he ordered."If you've ever uttered one of these phrases, you already know what tapas are all about. And you're ready for the Spuntino experience. It's the polar opposite of a traditional, static 3-course meal. Here, guests are encouraged - expected - to explore any and every taste on the menu. That's because we specialize in authentic Italian tapas: small, delicious portions that you're open to mix and match depending on how hungry you are - and how much you hunger for variety. At Spuntino, there are no rules, just the freedom to order, eat, talk with friends...then do it all over again. The same holds true with wine. We'll help guide you through our expansive all-Italian wine list, discovering exotic new tastes and tapas-friendly parings along the way. As for our environment, it's created to not just celebrate food, but the experience of those who enjoy it - open, sophisticated, relaxed - the perfect place to sample and sip your way through an evening. Here you're part of an experience. Not just a table for four.
