What an amazing Italian restaurant located in Montana! Let's start off with the complimentary bread and olive dip its by far the yummiest "bread and butter" I have ever had everything is always so fresh and so flavorful but my favorite thing about this place is the speed everything comes out so fast it's amazing! I LOVE the Caesar salad with chicken it's so so good honestly you can't order anything wrong here. I like to try different entrees every-time I come here and tonight I decided to order the homemade Pappardelle Porcini which was sooo good! I love a good mushroom cream sauce and the size of the noodle was just perfection. I can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu! Highly recommended good italian restaurant! read more

The Italian food here is superb! Fresh salads and delicious pasta. Good parking in the lot behind the restaurant read more

Pizza was poor, dry, and tasteless. Calamari and pizza were delivered late and cold. Salad was so disappointing.

It amazes me how creative they are in screwing up a take-out order. Last time I was there I ordered an entrée that comes with veggies and roasted potatoes. I asked that the veggies be steamed so they gave me all steamed veggies; no potatoes. Tonight I ordered gnocchi Sortentino, which is a tomato sauce with melted cheese. I asked them to make it with meat sauce instead of tomatoes; I got gnocchi with meat sauce, no melted cheese. These are just the most recent; I'd say they do this 75% of the time. So why do we continue to go there? It's close to us, the food is decent, even when they screw it up, and we like the menu selections. Also Fausto, Gloria, Steve, and the rest of the crew are really nice, and that means a lot. Plus, they really are creative. read more

Other than the cacio e pepe having a bit too much pepper so that it burned long after eating and the cavatelli being so overcooked it was mushy, everything was delicious. We were sat right away as well and the tiramisu was light and fluffy. The half caesar was perfect to split as an appetizer with well rounded dressing and a generous amount of cheese. The sauce on the cavatelli was to die for. So nicely balanced. Despite the heat factor on the cacio e pepe finish, the flavor was rich and satisfying and the pasta was cooked to perfection. Complimentary fresh bread and olive tapenade kicked things off nicely. The hostess was quick to seat us despite the rush and other than forgetting to refill our waters for quite some time, the servers were pretty on it. Looking forward to trying more dishes on the menu - hopefully, with less spicy pepper and more al dente pasta. It was loud inside but the house was full. If noise is an issue for you, going during off times is suggested. read more

Food 4 stars. Service (late afternoon) 3 stars or less. Service has been slipping a bit, at least outside. Maybe it's the increase in costs, but we had to get our waiter several times. The coffee is Americano, with 1 refill, but some servers said no refills. The food is still very good. The starter bread with olive tapenade has gotten better. The fried calamari is still tender. Linguine Pescatore was delicious with lots of seafood. As usual, Spaghetti Bolognese was great -- MUST add 2 meatballs for $2! The Arugula Salad w chicken was very good. Minestrone soup had a lot of potato & was just ok, but not worth $8. The spumoni ice cream is great, but it's the 2nd time they didn't have the spumoni bomba/tartufo. Also, they have restrooms downstairs now, so more accessible to elderly and handicap, which is a big plus for this restaurant. read more

Yet another restaurant that treats its vegan customers like persona non grata. DON'T COME HERE unless you like to be humiliated for being vegan! If you or anyone in your group follows a vegan diet, forget about the Happy Hour menu, as they'll quickly clarify that any modifications of sauce or pasta has an extra charge, to which I say, never coming here ever again!!! Anyone unwelcoming vegans that way gets its well-deserved single star from me. :-) read more

Great deal such as 50 % off on Mondays!! Food is yummy too. I would definitely come back!! :) read more

Spumoni - Italian Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Bland food, rude staff members and overpriced dishes. A few months ago on a Thursday I ordered a salad and it was so simple and plain that it didn't justify the price tag. I asked for them to increase the number of olives and maybe add a few cucumber pieces. They charged me an arm and a led for that. Their Monday special where things are half off is OK but comes with major attitude. I have come here on different days of the week but last visit was on a Monday so I ordered two dishes off the 50%off menu and was not able to eat the second dish. At first they refused to box it for me unless I paid full price. No where on their menu does it state u have to eat a slice of pizza in order to get the discount. It is mainly one rude waiter who has a napoleon complex that seems to be ruining the experience over and over again. My friends like the place so I'll be back but only hesitantly. read more

Spumoni has been our neighborhood spot for years and years. So so happy they've been able to keep open with delicious food and great service. They're olive tapenade and bread is so fresh and every dish is delicious. Love this spot read more

My brother and I had the same pasta Agli Olio there on June 10 at their half-off Monday special. We both had diarrhea the entire next day. I did think it tasted slightly off at the time, but not enough to worry. We have not returned since. read more

Love this place. I had gone there pretty often awhile back, when I lived in the area. I'm so happy they are still there and doing well. The food is amazing and the menu has so many options. They are all so reasonably priced. We took someone out for lunch there and were shocked at how inexpensive it was. Two of us had the seafood salad, big and delish. My friend had the sausage and broccolini pasta, great. The bread is award winning. I'm going to make the trek and go back soon. Also, Happy Hour is 50% off M-F from 5pm to maybe 6? You have to look it up. read more

Wow wow wow. I'm not sure why they have a crap review stars? Their food was great. I had cioppino mediterraneano, frutti di mare salad, frutti di mare pizza, penne arrabiatta, arugula salad, and papardelle porcini. Cioppino is so freaking amazing. The portion is ginormous (enough to share between 3 ppl and we still had about a cup of soup each). There is so much good seafood in it. Like big generous chunks of fish and mussels and clams! The broth is delicious and not fishy. Their pasta and pizza were all delicious as well. So much seafood on the pizza!!! Penne arrabiatta was just enough kick for me - it had me a bit sweaty from the spice but that's how I like my arrabiattas. The salad portions were also very large and fresh. And delish!! A lot of cheese and artichoke pieces in the arugula salad! I can't wait to be back for more. Papardelle was great - just a tad oily but I'm sure that's needed to make it creamy. They do get quite busy so make your orders as soon as you can! read more

Came tonight for MM and the chicken in the Mateo Salad had streaks of pink. I've had this salad at least 20 times and it had never been like that. I sent the chicken back and they brought a new one that was STILL PINK. I really think I would've gotten food poisoning if I had eaten EITHER chicken. I have dined at Spumoni a lot and I'm not sure if it is a new salad chef but I'm pretty disappointed in my experience there tonight. read more

One of my go to Italian Places around Santa Monica! Each dish is always consistent and online orders are always on-time. I usually order a Farfalle alla Barese, which is penne pasta with garlic oil, mild pork sausage, broccoli, and sun dried tomatoes. This pasta has a simple garlic flavor and was comforting. They give a decent amount of tasty sausage, broccoli, and pickled tomatoes, which all blended well with the olive oil pasta. I sometimes also order a Gluten Free Pizza with no cheese, Prosciutto, and Basil. Their crust is so delicious! It has a nice crunch and a good amount of thickness, tasting almost identical to regular pizzas dough. The prosciutto gives the pizza a good saltiness and the basil makes the pizza more earthy! I hope they sell vegan cheese for people who can't handle dairy. A solid choice for Italian food if you're in the area :) 10/10 read more

Can't beat the happy hour here! It is one of the best in town. You will just need to be patient with the wait as it does get busy.

Came here for a late lunch and ordered meatballs (a must try), chop salad (bland and lacked flavor), and spicy pizza (delicious) to start. We happen to arrive right around happy hour which was a bonus. For entree's we ordered the penne arrabbiata (delicious), meat sauce gnocchi (delicious) , and the gnocchi cardinal (very buttery and had a strong tomato flavor). Overall, we will be back. read more

Food is decent and it's in a nice neighborhood with good indoor/outdoor seating. I'll give it the 4th * because of their weekly Monday special of 50% off food items on the menu read more

Where to start... the waiter walked in from outside full on zipping his pants up so I'm pretty sure there was no hand washing. People bring their loud obnoxious ass kids in there and try to "gentle parent" them from climbing all over. The food is mid and the bill is high. The tables are so close to each other they should advertise as forced family style. I've been coming here for 15 years and tonight was the last time. I knew it was the last time as I was sitting there thinking "I can't wait to never come back here" read more

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Will highly recommend for a decent Italian restaurant with great tasting pizza, salad and pastas.

We love Spumoni. We are super fans of the Happy Hour, it is an incredible dinner for the right price. It has become my go to spot for taking my 2 teenagers to dinner. The staff is always kind and attentive. The food is on point and the environment is beautiful. The place is bustling, the staff is super efficient and the place is clean. What more can you ask for? My kids and I love this place. Bravo, Spumoni. read more

So delicious. The new QR code is such a smart way to avoid touching menus, and the outdoor seating is so cute! All the food is really delicious, definitely recommend the salmon in pink sauce and lobster ravioli read more

overpriced under delievered starting with the bread was old - they refused to make a pasta with just garlic and oil...

We were happy to find a place in Santa Monica with outdoor dining during COVID. The seats were mostly socially distant. We scanned the barcode to see the menus on our phones and the servers wore face shields. We split the spinach salad which was yummy. He had linguine with clams and said it was a little bland. I had the pesto gnocchi which was delish. There was no dessert listed on the menu but we asked for Spumoni. It came mostly melted and we found it to be $8.00 on our check. As we finished, another couple left and I saw the server wipe down the table. No disinfecting the table or chairs at all. read more

Food is good some dishes are great. Recently they get fresh fish (not frozen) always ask because the other fishes are frozen. Service is excellent! Steve knows how to take care of guests. The atmosphere is fun, love sitting at the bar always entertaining read more

Presentation was decent, service was ok, lastly the food.... Ordered a non sea food plate but for some reason chicken had a weird after taste to sea food. First time here, respectfully I wouldn't return for the reasons stated. Happy dining read more

Spumoni - Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken - Italian Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Very poor service. Food was meh. Extremely over priced for the amount and quality of food. I started with a Cobb salad ($16 and it was small) normally at other restaurants a Cobb comes with ranch dressing, but mine came with Italian. Now if you want a creamy dressing then you pay extra. No thanks. For my main dish I got spaghetti ($23) and meatballs (extra charge $2) when I got my dinner there was only one small meatball which was not cool since I paid for meatballs. Once receiving the bill I noticed that I was charged not $2, but $3 for the one small meatball. Really?! All and all such a disappointment because I use to be a regular at this place for years before new ownership and their remodel not to mention this was my first time back in about a decade and all I can say is that it was a total let down. Byeeeeee. read more

On Monday there are is 50% off the food. Alcohol and dessert not included. With that said I ordered a plate of pasta with sauce $19. The portion was equivalent to a child portion. I realize I am getting 50% but total rip off. Plus most of the waiters are rude. I know it is very busy but the service not very friendly "At All". Not going back on Monday that is for sure. read more

I'm really confused by a lot of the reviews on Montana. Some places with mediocre food have great reviews, and others with great food have lower reviews. Regardless, I wish we had checked out Spumoni sooner. We had the Quattro Formaggi pizza and the Mezza Luna Pollo E Funghi pasta with brown sage sauce. Both were great, and the service was pretty quick and easy. They're currently doing 50% off from 4:30-6pm on weekdays, which is a big draw (full price is worth it too, so it just depends when you'd like to dine). We will happily visit again soon. Thanks! read more

Food was ok, but the 1/2 price thing is a bit misleading. The sign outside says "1/2 price from 4:30 to 6pm weekdays." But it doesnt say if that is dining in only or also take-out. I ordered takeout and they charged full price. I told them about the sign but they wouldn't budge. They gave me a sh_tty attitude and didnt even say "sorry about the confusion" or anything like that. They really need a lesson in dealing with customers. read more

Service is severely lacking. The staff is so apathetic that it takes away from any benefit derived from some of their good dishes. The last two visits have become increasingly disappointing, which is a pity as this was one of of my favorite go-to establishments in my neighborhood. I may just up ordering take-out going forward. read more

I honestly don't like to give bad reviews but spunomi food was very microwave quality and scenery was cafeteria inside an office building from 1980's. See I get it...,,,,,,,,if a place you go and spend above and beyond but at the minimum you have generally a pleasant atmosphere. The place is dated and wine selection is Olive Garden. Service waiter was very nice and helpful to be fair. So we had 2 cheap wines, pasta and salad that 2 people shared and bill was $90 bucks. I feel it's too much. I would only recommend their pizza going forward and take it to go. read more

I wanted to have lunch at 1:00 PM in a nice sunny day on Montana. The didn't want to sit me outside in the Sun since they didn't had a table for two only six free tables for four. They lost a business for a very hungry customer. They were extremely unprofessional and rood. read more
