    Love love love this place. I travelled to Windsor from Toronto and this place is making me want to live here for the rest of my life. Food is so amazing and the staff are so nice. The coffee is amazing and love everything here. Inside decoration is so beautiful and everyone here looks happy. Will definitely come back again if I ever come back to Windsor!

    the place is so cute! The bread is delicious and the salad that you get is also nice. The service was beyond slow on this visit early afternoon on a Sunday. I personally wouldn’t get the Alfredo pasta again

    Amazing restaurant. Great service, super tasty food, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our meal was quite affordable as well. I was surprised by how much seafood came in my linguine, and it was very rich and flavourful. Will definitely be coming back again!

    Unbelievable. The true taste of Italy. Above the normal service. Just incredible. The wine is excellent, the food is superb. Un-freaking- believable! My favorite Italian restaurant and I have been to Italy! Thanks to Eddie, a great waiter.

    One of the best Italian places in Little Italy and Windsor. Great atmosphere Outdoor dining available Competent staff. Pro tip: don’t load up on the delicious complementary bread they give you. Spago cocktail: delicious cocktail with gin and strawberry..very strong Margarita: decent Side salad: insanely impressive with their parmesan cheese.

    Delicious Italian cuisine. Fair priced wine. Excellent top-notch service. Great atmosphere. Loved the Arancini, seafood risotto, veal, chicken entrees, calamari. Highly recommend and will be back soon! Parked in the church overflow parking lot.

    The atmosphere is authentic Italian food, very good energy and the food is delicious. Frank and Alex's energy is awesome, very attentive, and smiles all the way. Keep up the great vibes. Will definitely come back when we visit Windsor again.

    Recently dined at an Italian gem, and it was a culinary delight! From the heavenly garlic bread to the refreshing spinach salad and the mouthwatering Ravioli, every bite was a burst of deliciousness. The flavors were exquisite, and the overall experience left me craving for more. A must-try for anyone seeking an authentic and delectable Italian feast! 👌🍝🇮🇹

    Food was good but not great. My mushroom risotto was tasty but my girlfriends gnocchi was bland and tasted like it had store bought tomato sauce. We wouldn't order that again, presentation lacked too. Service was good. Was told they didn't have a dessert menu and that there was only one option.

    This is one of the best Italian Food in Windsor. Always consistent and their food is amazing. It is a must visit for my family every few weeks and we never had a bad dish here. Their staff are friendly and the service is amazing. Keep up the good work. My favourite dish here is linguini arrabiatta with mushroom, shrimp abd blush sauce. Their pizza is really good, but it depends on who makes it.

    Absolutely blown away by the service we had at Spago today! We've been to all three locations in Windsor multiple times, and while they have all been good experiences, this one was amazing. Chris went above and beyond to make our dinner so enjoyable. We had our very busy one year old with us (which can be a little stressful in resturants 😅) and ​Chris asked if he could take him for a bit so that we could eat. He walked with him to show him the fresh basil plants, the wood burning oven, and the kitchen. This is after making my mom a complimentary Virgin Mojito for her birthday when she told him she didn't drink alcohol. He was an excellent server overall. Kind, attentive, and super personable. So Chris, if you're seeing this...THANK YOU AGAIN. People lke you make the world a better place.🤗

    Yesterday I had a chance to visit Spago and I had a wonderful experience there. We got the table as soon as we get there. All the staffs there treated us really good. The food was really delicious and I have no other words to say how good it was. All together I was having an awesome experience last night.

    Spago Ristorante in Row Street in the heart of Little Italy in Windsor Ontario is my husband's and my all-time top favorite place to enjoy a wonderful, fresh Chicken Parmesan dinner, including salad and focaccia with olive oil and roasted garlic. Such a treat! 😋😋 Add or custom is, we share one dinner which is divided for us and brought in two plates, so the portion you see in my photo is only half of the usual full dinner. So you can see the portions they serve are great and depending on your appetite, you're more than likely to be bringing some home as well! 🙂 I live the atmosphere at the Erie St. location. It is very cozy, similar to being at an outside patio in Italy. All of the staff, from the owners, to the hosts, to the chefs, to the bussing staff and especially the servers - are awesome! We are always treated like family whenever we return for another heart-warning meal! 😍🇮🇹

    Can not say enough positive things about this place!! The food is superb! Eddie is fantastic! Friendly, tasty, warm and casual! Try everything, leave satisfied and happy.

  • 5/5 Melissa P. 3 months ago on Google • 34 reviews New
    Dinner was excellent! Our meals came out hot and delicious. Salad and bread/garlic to begin. Portions are big and we had leftovers for home. Meatballs and pasta, lasagna, chicken parmesan. Service was fast and friendly. Smiles everywhere today!

  • 5/5 R B. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Great atmosphere, just busy enough for me and my wife to talk comfortably but not too noisy. Had sea bass and seafood linguine entrees, both were perfectly prepared. They know what they are doing. Pasta was fresh and delicious. Frank was our server, he was attentive without being intrusive, excellent job.

  • 5/5 Shyra T. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for dinner around 8:30. I highly recommend reserving in advance, it’s extremely popular. The hostess & servers were very friendly and service was quick and exquisite. The ambiance was beautiful and it had an authentic Italian menu. My partner and I both got the Lobster Pappardelle and started off with the Calamari Fritti. It tasted fantastic. I also got the Berry Vodka Mojito and it was delicious. Prices were very reasonable and would choose this restaurant over a corporate any day.

    I lived in Italy when I was a child and since then I’ve been craving REAL Italian food only to be disappointed with my options in North America. This is the place! The experience my husband and I had at Spago was beyond incredible! The food was absolutely amazing and our server Eddie went genuinely above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. When I asked for one of my dishes’ sauce option Eddie said “whatever you want, we’ll make it” 😂 that was so cool! The Carbonara, chicken parmigiana, portobello mushroom and arancini were our favorites and for dessert the Nutella pizza was the winner!

  • 5/5 Cole P. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious. We got the carbonara and the pasta/seafood dish (I forget the name). We loved it. Sat outside, in the shade, very relaxed and quiet despite being on the street. Our server Alex was great, friendly and efficient and checked in just the right amount of times. A perfect summer afternoon meal.

  • 5/5 Sanyam K. 7 months ago on Google
    Fantabulous food if I can say so. The complimentary bred, Italian Chardonnay, Arancini, vitti pizza and tiramisu - outstanding! Rarely does a restaurant get everything right and bang on. Flavors, taste, texture, presentation - this place blew our mind!! We went for lunch and ate to our hearts content - and left over two slices for dinner. Wish to go there again when I’m in Windsor. Hands down the best Italian so far I’ve had in Canada!

  • 5/5 branchun77 1 year ago on Google
    Best pasta restaurant I’ve had. Sauces were delicious and homemade. Pasta was cooked to perfection. They also had amazing service and recommendations! Will definitely return!

  • 5/5 Julie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderfully warm & rustic ambiance, and food was amazing. Fresh pasta and everyone absolutely loved their food. Good value as well, not overpriced as some places are. I noticed everyone in the restaurant seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves, even at 9:30pm on a Sunday! We were from out of town but would gladly go back next time we are in Windsor.

  • 5/5 Yashu B. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    The atmosphere was great but could be awesome if they put some low music on weekends or on some family holidays. I prefer Spago in Windsor when I’m craving for Italian pasta. I ordered my usual ricotta ravioli and margarita pizza! Fun part, they serve you free garlic breads here with a complimentary salad for starters while you wait for your order. Their order preparation time is also very fast and food taste stays awesome. For pizza, their vegetale pizza is also a good and decent option. I haven’t tried their other pizza’s yet. 😋

  • 5/5 Yohan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Italian food!! Wonderful light pasta with rich sauces and amazing choices. Highly recommended and definitely going back to try other dishes.

  • 5/5 Matthew T. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything about the service being wonderful is true. I visited this place late in the summer and was helped by John Franco and Ali. They were both quick in taking our orders and getting us our food. We sat outside and it had a lovely atmosphere. The food was delicious and filling. It's not easy for me to become full, so I would say their portion sizes were good. I would definitely visit this location again.

  • 5/5 Gina R. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want the real Italian experience this is the place , staff are very friendly and the food is always excellent. The dining area is beautifully lit and has that authentic Italian cuisine look to it which makes it such a great place to bring friends or family and have the real Italian experience. The owner comes in very often to check out on how things are doing , he not only cares about the customers but his staff as well.

    Great and amazing food. Big portions. Long wait times though. Parking spots are also a pain to find. Customer service is #1 in the city. Would go back.

  • 5/5 Pallavi V. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice food. We ordered the lasagne, mushroom ravioli, spago pizza, eggplant parmigiana, tiramisu and the berry cheesecake. I must say everything was super delicious but the mushroom ravioli was to die for! A must visit restaurant and the server was really welcoming and warm.
