For when you want the entire ocean on your plate. 🦐🐟🐚
Our Linguini Pescatore is a showstopper for a reason. We load up a bed of perfectly al dente linguini with a coastal treasure trove of fresh clams, mussels, shrimp, and tender calamari, then top it with a perfectly prepared piece of fish. Tossed in our signature, slow-simmered seafood marinara, every single bite is packed with rich, authentic flavor.
It’s bold, it's indulgent, and it’s your new favorite excuse for a night out in Old City.

A cut above the rest
If you haven’t tried our Costoletta di Maiale, you’re missing out on one of the most flavorful dishes in our kitchen. We take a premium, thick-cut bone-in pork chop, stuff it with a savory spinach filling, and grill it to juicy perfection. Paired with a vibrant medley of roasted seasonal vegetables, it’s a hearty, elevated classic that hits the spot every single time.
Step away from the usual routine and treat yourself to something spectacular tonight.

Celebrate Mom the Italian Way
There is a special kind of magic in an Italian kitchen, and it usually starts with Mom. It’s in the way she doesn't need a measuring cup for the family sauce and how she remembers exactly how you like your pasta.
For generations, the heart of our culture has been passed down through shared recipes and the warmth of a mother’s hospitality.
This Mother’s Day, step away from the stove and let us take care of the details. Bring the whole family to Spasso Italian Grill to honor the woman who taught you that food is the ultimate love letter to tradition.
Whether she’s a fan of our fresh seafood or our classic handmade pastas, we have the perfect table waiting for her.
Treat her to the flavors of Italy and a day filled with the appreciation she deserves.
