I love Spettro! Pizza, pasta, the free bread, the unique salads... it's awesome! Very cool and helpful wait staff, and some romantic booths as well! Food pictured is vegetarian version of jalapeño fettuccine.
Great food, yummy dessert! My hubby had the blueberry bbq ribs, I had the eggplant both delicious. Their bread was delightful too. Finished dinner by sharing a flan that reminded me of my mom's (and that's hard to top) great place!
Been here several times. The atmosphere and decor are a bit quirky and the mostly-Italian menu matches. Service has been hit or miss at times, though overall it's always been a good experience.
Personal favorite is the risotto, but everything is good. Prices are reasonable if not cheap.
The decor is nice, lots of local pictures around, the prices are reasonable, especially compared to other Italian places around here. The food is unique - what Italian food would be if it had to ride through Texas and the Southwest on its way to California. I call it the "Spaghetti Western" restaurant, and I love it. Where else can you get jalapeño linguine?
This isn't fair because it happens to be one of my fave places. GREAT date place, family place, or an everyday spot. Food is a balanced mix of Latin and Italian, which you wouldn't think is as AMAZING as it is. The baked gnocchi appetizer and jalapeño pasta are my favorites.
