Dined here last night with my Best Friend. Glad we Did. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 We asked if there were any Specials & Last Night's was: Spaghetti Pescatore, kinda like a Ceviche but this one contained Mussels, Clams, Calamari & Shrimp nestled in Pasta noodles like Linguini with a Marinara Sauce. It tasted awesomely delicious. She liked it as much as me. Wow! 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 She wanted a Small Hawaiian Pizza that really hit the Spot. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 She had her Favorite Drink ~ Water with a Lemon Wedge 〰〰〰I had a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.〰〰〰 Service was pretty quick considering the amount of clients 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰. Ambiance was what you'd expect from a Pizzeria. We love the food here & usually order their Awesome Sandwiches. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 read more

It truly hurts to write a review like this, but tonight was the final dagger. Got hit with a price of $167 for tonight's to-go order. What does $167 get you these days at Spuntino... 2 penne pasta with chicken 1 kids spaghetti with meatballs 1 Caesar salad Bread No alcohol. No other sides. No other anything... thanks but no thanks. I understand we're in a slightly more challenging economy, tariffs, needing to pay better wages, etc etc. but frankly this is WELL beyond reasonable. Apparently tourists are paying anything for food these days, or I'm just out of touch with noodle prices in 2025? Even through the years of raising prices again and again (at least the last 5), we've stuck by and bit the bullet. Quality has wavered during that time too but hey, support the local business, who knows what happened that one night here and there. But I can't stomach it any more, this is flat out robbery. Giving 2 stars simply because the hard working people there have no impact on pricing a menu. ***edit after double checking online to make sure I wasn't crazy*** If you look at the online pricing, my aforementioned order rings in somewhere around $93 before tax. Pretty absurd all the same, and that's assuming the chicken pricing of +$5 per pasta (using the example from the Caesar salad adding chicken since there's no other pricing listed for adding protein to a pasta). I called back to see how in the world $167 was decided upon. "Well, meat is pretty expensive these days... and you can check pricing online too". Unreal. Can't get a straight answer, and no one seems to care. For what it's worth, pricing has seemingly spiked 33% over the last year if you compare the online menu I've added here and pictures of the menu from a year ago. read more

My husband and I came to town for a couple days and we tried this place because it was close to our hotel. We were not disappointed. The service, the food, the atmosphere so warm and friendly. We actually came here two nights in a row. Granted it was a rainy night and we didn't want to drive too far but we were so happy with the food and service so we came back for the second night! read more

We arrived at Spuntino slightly before 11 AM for an early lunch, but things got off to a slow start. Despite the restaurant's opening time, the gate was still locked at 11:10. After a quick call (with no answer) and some curiosity, I noticed the door was slightly ajar but inaccessible due to the gate. Moments later, a server appeared and explained there had been a staffing delay. Being fashionably late myself sometimes, I could sympathize. The server was kind and shared interesting tidbits about the food--turns out the owner is from Sicily, and I was excited to try authentic Italian cuisine! We shared a large slice of pepperoni pizza, which came highly recommended, and I ordered the penne bolognese with a glass of wine. While my cousin absolutely loved the food, I wasn't as impressed. I finished my wine and packed up most of my meal to-go, hoping the flavors would shine later. Unfortunately, even reheated, the dish didn't quite hit the mark for me. I'm starting to wonder if my Americanized palate just isn't refined enough for true Italian flavors. If that's the case, the trip to Italy I'm planning might require a serious mindset shift! That said, the service was great, and the restaurant clearly has its charm. It might just be that Spuntino wasn't quite my taste. read more

The Farfalle salmone was very good, but pricey. Personable service even under the pressure of a long line read more

amazing thank you so much. Great gluten-free food. lovely wine and cocktail thank you. Love you guys.

Chris is always an amazing server! We come here often and are always impressed with the food and service!!! One of our regular spots!

Went to Spuntino's for lunch last week and the service was great. Matt was our waiter. The pizza was perfect as always. We will definitely be going back. read more

Service was great. Staff was friendly and able to make recommendations. We've been there a few times hoping to have better luck each time, but it's not the case. We found the food lacking flavor (lasagna, pasta, and pizza sauce). The lasagna was most disappointing. It tasted like unflavored hamburger and lacked noodles and other layers. The pizza was delivered to the table very quickly but the other entrees arrived much later. This was normal to every table that ordered pizza, and by the time everyone had their food, the pizza was cold. We won't be going back. read more

This restaurant was my go to when in Temecula on our way home. We would always order the meatballs as they were the best ever! Today we did the same & took them home . They were awful!!! you can tell they might be frozen , very dense, could hardly chew them! They used to be homemade, soft & delicious! I called them when I got home as I live in Ontario Ca. I mentioned to the girl who answered the phone & she said the Owner changed the recipe! I guess I won't ever be going there anymore! Also their pizza used to be great now it's done so fast that everything on the pizza falls off & the crust is not done. I wrote a 5 star review a yr ago & now I will not ever go back! You should never choose to change what's working for you!! If you don't have customers what else have you got? Bad move!! read more

Well, this is disappointing to post as I have previously given this restaurant a good review. We took some friends to have a late dinner here. We probably got there close to 9 PM. The food was good and the service at the restaurant was good too. After dinner, we went to their bar for a drink. (We didn't even know they had a bar that is opened later than the restaurant, until the server told us.) What was disappointing was what felt like discriminatory, borderline racist, service we received at their bar. We were a group of 5 (four of us Mexican and speaking both Spanish and English and one white man.) We were all standing near the bar and my mom got a little closer to the bar to order. She placed her order and waited about 10 minutes (no they were not busy). The bartender started helping other people that got there after us. My mom ordered the drinks again and got no response from the bartender. She waited a few more minutes and then asked the bartender if he got our order. He replied with "Can't you see I'm making them?!" To which my mom replied "I've seen you make drinks but none of those have been ours." My husband asked for an old fashioned and they forgot to add the black cherry. My husband asked them to please add it. One bartender told the other bartender to do it and both looked visibly upset that they had to do this. I should add that this is a very small bar. There were probably less than 15 patrons there and they had 3 bartenders. It wasn't a packed bar. To add, the restaurant was closed so they weren't making drinks for them either. Our two friends left and my husband, my mother and I remained sitting at the bar. We still had our initial drinks. After about 30 minutes, I ordered a second glass of wine. Some time went by and I decided to order a hard seltzer instead. I had barely touched the second glass of wine. At this point I wanted something cold to drink. The bartender tells me that they made last call, which we didn't hear. I found this odd given that it's such a small place. But figured I would just finish my wine and asked for a refill of my iced water. About 20 minutes go by and a young white woman greets the bartender (as if they were friends or acquaintances). This young woman asks for a seltzer. The bartender grabs one and stars walking in her direction. I saw this and said, "I thought you guys made last call? I tried to order a seltzer and was told it was too late." The bartender then apologizes to the young woman and does not give her the drink. I looked at the young woman and said, "Sorry. I just don't know how they were going to serve you after saying they made last call." The bartender looked upset and made a face that reflected that. I start telling my mom and husband what happened and then the bartender starts gaslighting me saying that they can issue a "last call" on anyone if they think they're intoxicated. To which I replied that I had only 2 glasses of wine and one of them was still pretty full sitting in front of me. He then said "I don't know how much you had before." So, not only did they ignore my mom a few times, make us wait over 10 minutes for drinks when they were not busy and standing around, snap at my mom, gave attitude when my husband asked them to fix a drink, but also got caught trying to serve someone when they weren't supposed to. Because he got caught trying to serve alcohol to a "friend" after they issued last call, he tried to gaslight me saying I was too intoxicated to have been served and that's why I didn't get a seltzer. The entire experience was very sketchy and it felt like they just didn't want to serve US. They looked happy to be serving and making drinks for others, but not us. We weren't drunk, we weren't loud, we had dinner at their establishment, we were with a small group of friends chit-chatting after dinner just trying to enjoy a drink before heading home. Our ages range from 42-68, so it's not like we were these crazy drunk young adults getting wild at the bar. The vibes we were getting, their attitude, the disrespect all felt very targeted. We didn't observe these same behaviors with other (white) patrons. It just felt very weird as if they made their best effort at this bar to make us feel unwelcomed. Needless to say, their message was heard loud and clear. We will never stop here again, will never recommend it, and will share our experience, so others don't go through the same thing we did. read more

Food was good but we got sick right after we left. Staff doesn't seem to get along either, which was awkward.

I can't believe I've lived here for years and did not know this Italian gem existed! This place was busy on a Friday night. The wait was about 25 min. It went pretty fast. They have indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. Service is friendly and expeditious. Staff is nice, helpful, and friendly. The food was amazing! The pizza is one of the best I ever had. The dough is perfect. We had the pepperoni pizza and Cesar salad. The dessert cannoli was delicious! We will be back! I highly recommend! read more

Ordered a large pepperoni pizza and was really disappointed. The pizza was soggy with way too much cheese, the dough was overly salty, and the sauce had almost no flavor. It was watery and a weird light pink color. Even the pepperoni lacked flavor, which was surprising. We also tried the fried dough with sugar, but it barely had any sugar on it and again, the dough was extremely salty. I have had a lot of fried dough from different places and never experienced that before. We ordered the tiramisu too, but it was not good. It just tasted like chocolate and custard and did not have the flavor or texture you would expect from a proper tiramisu. Overall, I would not recommend this place if you are looking for good pizza or desserts. read more

This is our go-to casual, neighborhood Italian spot. The staff is always lovely and the owner is usually happily circulating. Prices are reasonable. Our favorites are the penne calabrese, pizza norma, and the calamari with a glass of Chianti. The pizzas are wood fired and something special. There's The Bar Next Door where you can also order food items if the wait is too long and you don't mind the extra noise. read more

After hitting up Wilson Creek Winery, Massimo our wine tender recommended eating here. It definitely did not disappoint. I had the fried mozzarella served on tomato sauce and then covered in cream sauce. It was to die for. The crust was crispy and the mozzarella was goey and melty on the inside. The tomato sauce was on point. Real true tomato flavor, not muddled with other flavors. Really exceeded my expectations. The pepperoni pizza was also very delicious. The crust had the nice amount of chewy and the toppings were ample. Our serve was polite and not overly attentive, as she git slammed 10 minutes after we were seated. The restaurant is quaint. I love the open kitchen and being able to see the woodfire oven. This is a place I will definitely visit again when I am in the area. read more

Today we ordered pizza and calamari. The pizza was subpar. We asked for the garlic and olive oil white pizza. Hardly tasted the garlic this time and it had way too much dried oregano on it, and bottom was burnt. We like well-done pizzas. We don't like burnt pizzas. Also Half of the calamari was peppers. read more
