Every time we come here I walk away impressed with the ambiance, the amazing service and the incredible food. Tonight was no different. The scallops were on special and were flat out the best you'll find in this part of DFW. Chicken Marsala was rich and creamy. Outstanding meal at a real Arlington treasure. read more

We came here the night before to celebrate my daughter's graduation from UTA. We had called a few weeks in advance and made a reservation for 10 people. When we arrived our table was all set up and our waitress extraordinaire, Gina, was ready to serve us. We had to wait a few minutes for the rest of our party to get there, but she didn't skip a beat. Every change was met with a smile and willingness to serve. The restaurant is nicely decorated with wine corks that look very cool. We ordered some apps of calamari and eggplant (omg so good). They brought out delicious homemade rolls and the food was amazing. Everyone liked their dishes and the portions were large. Our drinks were always filled to the brim and empty plates cleared. We couldn't have asked for a better evening. The food, the company, and the staff were amazing. If we lived closer, we'd come all the time. Thank you Spazzios for making the start of our grad weekend effortless and wonderful. read more

I can't say enough good things about this quaint neighborhood family owned restaurant. The food was outstanding! I had the scallops with risotto which was a special of the day. One of the best Italian dishes I've ever had. And the service was excellent as well. Gina did a great job making sure we lacked for nothing. I would also highly recommend the house salad and the crème brûlée for dessert. If you're looking for a quiet place to take your spouse or have a business lunch or dinner - this is the place. Very classy and memorable. I'll be back. read more

A hidden gem! Lots of unique and special touches to what appears to be typical Italian dishes. Example : fried calamari with thinly sliced radishes. I appreciate Joe's knowledge of the various subtleties - would have missed Gina's spazzio chicken - it was yum! read more

I came here for dinner with a couple of friends and my husband. It was pretty slow for a Saturday night, we were seated right away. This restaurant only serves beer and wine, everyone ordered wine except my husband that had a beer. The place is dark and feels kind of cozy and warm. For appetizer, we had the fried calamari, it was very good. My friend ordered the meatballs, he said they were delicious and I believe him cause they looked really good. I decided to try the Chicken Penne Pesto and it was delicious. My husband had the Gnocchi Bolognese and he wasn't impressed, he said it tasted bland and not fresh, the gnocchi tasted like it was bought not freshly made. Our server was nice and helpful, will probably come back to try other dishes. read more

This my favorite restaurant...PERIOD! The food is exceptional, the wine selection is amazing but most importantly is feeling of family when here!! The service is exceptional too! 5 stars isn't enough. Totally love Spazzio's! read more

This place is AHHHHMAAAZZZIINNGG! The interior is beautiful and cozy. Perfect for a date night. The workers are attentive and friendly. The first time I ordered I got spaghetti and meatballs, it was the best I've ever had including homemade. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the meatballs were delicious. My second go round I ordered chicken alfredo. Lord I wanted to lick the plate clean. And my third time I ordered pepperoni pizza. It was tasty but the pepperoni was salty. The pizza was not thick or doughy. It reminded me of a thin crust minus the crunch. Yelpers check them out! You won't be disappointed read more

Stopped in for a late dinner while on a date. It was perfect for a Monday evening. Not too crowded and we were seated immediately. Our server took our drink orders and gave us a few minutes to peruse the menu. My date went with shrimp fettuccine and I had the classic lasagna. Both came out piping hot. And I must say the shrimp on his dish were succulent and plump and not overcooked which is a rarity these days. The flavors suited both our palates greatly and we enjoyed breaking bread together as we sat for our very first date. It was the perfect evening and we ended up sitting and talking so long that we stayed a little past their closing time. Oops, but our conversation flowed so smoothly. No pics because it was a first date and I didn't want to get side eyed so I gotcha next time. Get here soon to try this authentic Italian cantina. Great service and a lovely atmosphere. read more

Always good! It's never crowded which surprises me--the food, service and ambiance are the best!

**This is a 3.5 star review.** Wow. Are we creatures of habit, or what?!? I never realized that we came here almost nine years ago until I checked in. I'm glad we came back, because this joint is still a good place to take care of anyone who is jonesing for Italian food in an outstanding atmosphere with excellent service. The food here is beautifully prepared. My eggplant this time was as tender as can be. Calamari is clutch, though there were as many slices of radish as there was breaded calamari. We ate the eggplant and calamari as appetizers and ordered a pizza to go. Oddly, you can order a large pizza to go at dinner time, but they won't bring one to the table. Not sure that I understand that rule, but I do know that it cost the joint some profit on beers and gratuity. -- The pizza, by the way, was divine. read more

Had a great experience here! The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. I ordered the gnocchi, and it was delicious--hearty, and paired perfectly with the sauce. Definitely a place I'd visit again! read more

Friendly, fast service. Delicious food and wine. Comfortable ambience. Easy parking. I had a breaded chicken in a red sauce over pasta, a glass of The Prisoner red blend and a slice of tiramisu. Made for a wonderful evening. read more

We stopped in for lunch and it was one of he best ideas we've ever had. My husband had the Caesar side salad which was fresh and he said that it was really good. We had the Calamari and it was sooo good. We finished off with the Supreme pizza. The crust was fantastic; just the right amount of crunch. It had just the right amount of cheese. The toppings were excellent with a good ratio to each other. The service was excellent. The waitstaff kept up with drinks and cleared plates as we finished them. They were very nice and perfectly attentive without being pushy. The place is a bit dark, but there is enough light to read the menu and such. All in all; an excellent place to eat! We will definitely be back! read more

The service from Lola was great...service w/a genuine smile. We had the Grilled Tilapia & the Supreme Pizza, which lived up to its name. Both were absolutely excellent, & made to perfection. It was all a bit pricey, but very much worth it & satisfying nonetheless. The ambiance was relaxed & the music was nice. It got busier as the night went on, but we got in pretty early, so we were able to dodge the crowd for the most part. Grazie read more

Met up with some family from out of town and were pleasantly surprised by this somewhat unassuming restaurant. In a small strip mall it doesn't really stand out. It is worth a stop and the food and service did not disappoint. The portions were well sized for a hungry appetite and everything was cooked well, served nicely, and tasted great. The pasta was made well and the sauces we tried were all very good, including the marinara and Alfredo. For a small restaurant, the service was very good and we felt like we had a personal waiter for our table. The interior was quiet and lit well enough to eat and l, at the same time, was dark enough for a casual dining experience. We've added this spot to our bookmark list and will be back again. read more

My first time to this wonderful restaurant. Their calamari were the best I've had. Fresh and not over cooked. My chicken picante was excellent and finishing with tiramisu. This dessert was also excellent. Often tiramisu is over soaked with liqueur, but this was perfect. Can't wait to go back! Nice Italian interior and not noisy like so many restaurants today. Service was prompt and accurate. read more

My business partner and I had lunch at Spazzio's. The owner was gracious and shared what her special dishes were. We took her recommendation and tried two dishes. Both were excellent. I would highly recommend the restaurant highly both for the food and the service.. The ambience is family oriented, relaxing and inviting.The food reminds me of home cooking!! Overall, love the experience and the food!! read more

Turn to yelp again as we were in Texas and didn't know where to eat. This place came up so we turned around on the freeway just to go to it. Did not disappoint. Gina, who is also one of the owners waited on us. she was very friendly and talkative. I liked the ambience because it wasn't too crowded table wise you had room to breathe. Since we were traveling my husband and I shared a Caprese salad and a supreme pizza Yum Yum he was driving so I had a glass of red wine from Italy.

We loved the food - I had shrimp scampi with a side of Caesar salad. My problem was that we asked for glasses of wine and they did not have the wine we ordered; the manager came back and offered us some wine that was not on the menu. We accepted, and she opened the wine. We clarified that we only wanted individual glasses, and she replied that wine was only sold by the bottle. I felt like our arms were twisted. We would never have spent $249 for a bottle of wine - anywhere. read more

Delicious, large quantity, pricing was average. I always get the parm and its a hit everytime.

I wish there was a way to give more stars! I live 3 hours away and some dear friends introduced me to Spazzio's this last weekend. We were visiting Arlington for 4 days and I just had to go back one more time before leaving town. The food is AMAZING! The inside is super welcoming, clean and inviting and the people- they are the most friendly, cheerful and authentic you would ever want to meet. I wish they were closer to me- I would be there every week! Seriously- this place is worth traveling to. Best authentic homemade dishes, best people, best service- these are the places you WANT to spend your money at...because they are family owned, love what they do, know their stuff! I will definately travel there just to have an opportunity to have really amazing food again. There is nothing like it- you just have to try it. I seriously want to find a way to make sure they stay around for a long time. I am a serious food snob and when I tell you this is amazing.... it is AMAZING! read more

We went around 530-6pm & there was one other table, a family. They seemed to be happily enjoying appetizers and we decided to stay even though it was very dark. We ordered the meatball appetizer and chicken cacciatore. Both were cold. Flavor wasn't the worst, but we were definitely looking forward to a warm meal :( Maybe they keep it dark to hide the meatball temperature, no clue read more

My wife and I was in Grand Prairie for the Brett Eldredge Christmas concert and this was close to our hotel and had good Yelp reviews. Spazzio's has super friendly and helpful service. My wife had the chicken Parmesan with a side salad and I had Linguine Pescatore with has shrimp, scallops and mussels. Both our salads were tasty and entrees appeared as we were finishing our salads. My entree was a generous portion of seafood nicely seasoned and a large portion and despite my best effort I required a to go box. My wife said her chicken parm was one of the best she had ever had and she also needed a to go box. The next time we're in this area will definitely revisit Spazzio's read more

From the moment you are greeted at the door, throughout your meal, and as you are thanked for coming in, you are made to feel welcome. The food and wine recommendations were amazing. One recommendation was an off menu chicken dish with capers, parmesan, white wine sauce with pasta. It was absolutely decadent and if it is recommended I suggest ordering it. Overall great experience and meal. Highly recommend that you visit if in the area. read more

Seriously, this place was good but not GREAT. And I ate alone and got only water to drink and my bill was $64!!!!! My entree said $20 on the menu and they charged me $23.50 and I asked for spaghetti with it and they brought me penne and you guys this chicken Parmesan was mediocre at best. Finally, I got a cream brûlée which was honestly awful. It tasted like orange jello. Told them it was not good and they didn't even offer to take it off. And the cost of that was ridiculous as well as the price of the cheese sticks when they were not even hot and melty. The cheese just bit in two. No melty strings On a positive note the server was good. But I literally cannot believe that I spent this kind of money and didn't even even get a steak! read more

SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES Every time I go here for a meal I leave feeling stuffed with some of the best homestyle Italian cooking that can be found in this state. If you're not going here for your Italian meal, you are doing yourself an injustice!!! The creamy Alfredo sauce is out of this world. So velvety even when reheated next day. The sauce never curdles and breaks. Their fresh homemade pasta cannot be matched. The Limoncello mascarpone dessert is worth every bit of "oh my gosh, I ate too much" state of bliss. read more
