My husband and I visited Sputino's last Friday after hearing good things about their food, and wow... we were impressed from the start. We went for dine-in service and had Tori as our server. When we arrived, it had a very casual, seat-yourself kind of vibe but don't let that fool you. The service was outstanding. Tori explained the specials, all of which sounded delicious, but we came specifically to try their pizza. We started with a Caesar salad to share and... YUM. The dressing was flavorful, the fresh shaved Parmesan was perfect, and it was honestly one of the better Caesar salads we've had in a while. Then came the pizza, a large half pepperoni / half Hawaiian. Absolutely amazing. The dough tasted fresh and full of flavor, cooked in that amazing fire oven we can see from our table and all the toppings were fresh and delicious too. We were so impressed that we decided to come back again tonight for our next Friday date night. This time, instead of pizza, we tried their pasta dishes and specials. I ordered their beef tip pasta special and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was one of the most flavorful pasta dishes I've ever had. Tender beef tips, mushrooms, sautéed veggies, and sauce tossed perfectly with pasta. I was in heaven, especially paired with a glass of Sangiovese recommended by our delightful server Joey. My husband ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and he loved it too, which says a lot because spaghetti is his favorite dish and he's pretty picky about it. Oh... and I almost forgot the appetizer. We tried their fried pizza dough topped with pepper and salt and somehow managed to finish the entire basket. Oops. But honestly, that just tells you how good it was. All in all, we are so glad we decided to give Sputino's a try. It will definitely be part of our regular date-night rotation going forward. read more

Food and service were great. We received our food really quickly after ordering too, which is an obvious plus. Not everything available is on the menu; frequently there are specials such as the chicken parm and a seafood pasta dish. read more

Food was excellent. The lasagna was saucy and very tasty. It literally just melts in your mouth. The seafood pasta was equally well cooked. Seafood was tender and the tomato sauce was light with lots of garlic and white wine flavor. Service was excellent. Ambience was casual and fun. A great place to take the entire family or just a nice dinner for two. There's also a cozy speak easy inside the restaurant. read more

We were welcomed very friendly by the host when we arrived at Spuntino Pizzeria. It took us a while to order since we were a bit undecided, but the staff was super patient. Some of us were ready before others, so they took those orders first and the food came out pretty fast! When I first walked in, I noticed what looked like a wood-fired oven, which got me really excited. Even in Italy, it's rare to see a true wood-fired oven unless you're in Napoli, where they say the best pizza in Italy comes from. We ordered the Hawaiian pizza and we definitely weren't disappointed. The texture reminded us so much of the pizza we had in Napoli--light, soft, and perfectly cooked. It wasn't one of those heavy pizzas that fill you up with thick dough. It was just perfect. We also tried the panini, which was super flavorful, and the mozzarella tasted really fresh. The restaurant had a mellow atmosphere with authentic Italian vibes. The host was very attentive and patient with us even though he was busy, and our food came out quickly. We absolutely loved our experience and will definitely be coming back whenever we're in town! read more

Quick little update. We had friends visit from out of state and chose to take them to Spuntino's. They had a great time. My girlfriend loved the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Stephano came to the table while we were waiting for the server and gave my girls little dough balls to play with. He also sang happy birthday to one of our guests in Italian. Shout out to Stephano. read more

Came in on a rainy day and the restaurant was able to seat my party of 6 in no time! Matthew was extremely welcoming and was able to answer our questions about the menu with no issue. I ordered the Prosciutto Mozzarella Basil Panini and I was more than impressed with the layers of prosciutto and the fresh mozzarella. I split the panini with another guest in my party so the picture only shows half of the panini. The meal also came with antipasti salad and I definitely left full, even with just half. Would come again! read more

they have really good service here, unfortunately I'm not leaving my rating based off of the service, their pizza was terrible, they use chopped up large tomatoes instead of tomato paste, their appetizer mozzarella the same thing. Nothing special you can basically get everything at the grocery store and make it yourself. Definitely not authentic Italian at all read more

Great pizza one of the better pizzas in Temecula! Also love their salads and pasta. Top pick for casual Italian dinner's.

Paid $40 in an uber to go here for a date night dinner just to show up and they decided to be closed early for a company holiday party? So disappointed, won't even try again in the future read more

Great location and a fun, casual vibe. We walked in and ordered a pizza to go. We were advised to order a pizza that already had a set topping list instead of build your own. We got the pizza Quattro stagioni. It had black olives, ham, mushrooms, and artichoke. I wasn't a huge fan of the toppings as I'm more of a meat lovers gal, but I did love the crust and the overall texture and consistency of the dough. Our pizza was also ready in ten minutes which was appreciated. read more

Great service and quick service. Loved that you could see the chefs from the seating area. They were very friendly. I ordered the meat lovers gluten free pizza. It came out quick. The reason i gave it 4 starts was because the sausage on top of the pizza was like warm and the pizza was a little soggy. But that's normal for gluten free pizza. It's hard to get it just right because it burns very easily. Either way clean place, friendly people, quick service. I would go here again. read more

Now this is what I am talking about. It's a cute little tucked in the corner pizza place with fantastic food!!!!! I couldn't get pics because we ate it so fast. My husband and I tried this place on a whim and it was well worth it. I had a procutto sandwich and my husband ordered a pepperoni pizza for us to share. It was all fantastic. The service was fantastic the open concept is so awesome to watch. I would recommend this place for family for first date. For lunch. Just go!!!! read more

We came here on the recommendation of Cole from Lorenzi winery, and it did not disappoint. Ended up sitting at the bar next door. We ordered a large sausage & mushroom pizza with artichokes on half, and it was delicious. Crust was soft and wonderful, nothing too heavy. Took some slices home to enjoy tomorrow. They have a great full bar and all the Cocktails and martinis looked amazing. They also have a great wine list, and we got a bottle of their own Sangiovese for $46 which was wonderful. Absolutely recommend, and we will definitely be back! Can't forget our amazing servers, Todd and Nathan - fabulous, and we met the nicest local guy sitting at the bar. Great experience! read more

I am a regular customer at Sputino's and The Bar Next Door. I dine at your restaurant frequently and have always received excellent service and gave positive reviews on Yelp. About a month ago, I inadvertently left my credit card at the restaurant. At the time, I believed the card was lost and I restricted its use through my credit card app. Recently, as I retraced my steps and reviewed my statement, I noticed that the last charge on the card was from Spuntino. I called the restaurant yesterday, January 2, and was pleasantly surprised to learn that my card had been found and kept there. I came in later that day with my driver's license, picked up the card, and expressed my appreciation to the staff for holding onto it. However, approximately one hour after leaving the restaurant with my card, I received a fraud alert from my credit card company regarding a $100 charge attempt. When I contacted the CC company , I was informed that there had been over six attempted charges within the past hour. None of the charges went through, but they were all linked to an online gambling company called PrizePicks. Given the timing of these attempted charges, shortly after I retrieved my card, felt it was important to bring this to your attention. It suggests that someone may have had access to my credit card information after I called to report it while it was in the restaurant's possession. I am sharing this not out of anger, but out of concern, as I value Spuntino and the trust I've always had in your establishment. I felt it was important for ownership(Alex) and management to be aware so the situation can be looked into appropriately. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I appreciate your attention to the matter. I will also be speaking with Alex. read more

"Spuntino Pizzeria has a lively atmosphere and warm lighting, but it was extremely packed, making the space feel a bit cramped--especially with so many families dining close together. Since my order was to-go, I felt like I was intruding on personal dining moments. The food was on the pricier side for a large meat lover's pizza and a garden salad, but the pizza itself was really good! The service was decent as well. Appreciate the team for their hard work!" read more

Living in the area of Temecula we are flooded with corp, big name, chain crap restaurants with frozen food thawed out for our delight. But we found Spuntino's.... Went for pizza last week, it sucked, so we started looking for something new. Then this popped up on the maps, two blocks from the house, so we loaded up the truck, sweats and hoodies, and off we went. Service; Chris was amazing, knew the menu, knew the beer, and made sure we were not rushed to order. Peroni on draft for the win! Food: we did the tour, from salad to pizza, pasta, finishing with a dessert. It came out as expected time wise, everything was at proper temp. But, what set this off was the flavor was on point. The pasta, clean, not chewy, sauce....well you can see I used the pizza crust to suck it up! Pizza, the top was great but the crust was perfection. Dessert, worked for me! Ambiance is ok, I'd say it's a typical in the shopping center restaurant. I really care that I can see the food be made, the Vespa in the corner, and the seats didn't hurt my ass! All in all 7 out of 5 stars for this place. read more

We LOVE this place. Whether you're with your family or out with friends, this place is always a fave. Fresh ingredients, made to order and so so good. The service is always great and they're sure to keep you hydrated and fed the entire time. The quality of the food surpassed the price. It costs my family of 5 $80 to hit a drive thru burger place but here we got 3 fresh pizzas, sodas for the kids, beers and wine and an appetizer for $120. Can't beat it. Ambiance is family style. This isn't fine dining but comfort dining. read more

The reviews really vary, we went with friends and the food was good. Caesar salad with chicken, good dressing, croutons could have been better. Seemed like dry bread, not toasted or tasty. We had 2 pizzas & both were good, came out fairly quick. For our taste, the crust could have been a little more brown... We had good service and stayed awhile with a glass of wine visiting. The bar next door (connected inside) was convenient and a nice seating option. read more
