After hearing good reviews about Spanos, finally celebrated my husband’s bday here. The place is small but warm and cozy: The service is excellent and the foods are delicious. We got 3 free appetizer samplers and they are all yummy. Check out his place and you will not be disappointed. It will be in the top 10 of my favorite places to dine.

This restaurant is in my top 10 best restaurants ever. BYOB with the some of the largest portions I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The service was fantastic. The calamari is great somewhat of a sweet sauce. The dried meats are amazing. I got the sea food plate all super fresh and cooked to perfection. The chicken all avodka was huge. Fantastic all around and a great value! I was lucky and was able to get in but a reservation is a must here.

We went out to dinner tonight and had such a great experience. We started with a few appetizers — eggplant meatballs and fried flounder — both were excellent. The eggplant meatballs were tender, flavorful, and surprisingly hearty, and the flounder was perfectly crispy without feeling heavy. For my main course, I ordered the chicken parm, and it was exactly what you want from a classic Italian dish — juicy chicken, a rich sauce, and just the right amount of melted cheese. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. This was not my first time visiting, but it was everyone else’s in our party. They loved it and thought the tiramisu was amazing. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere had that cozy, traditional Italian feel that makes you want to linger a little longer.

Been there before… one of the best Italian restaurants in South Jersey. I had the lasagna… melted in my mouth. The other family members ate chicken parm and another delicious dish which you will see in the photos. Highly recommend this establishment. Just make sure you make reservations. They are already full for Valentine’s Day!

Excellent food, service and portion sizes. Had an out of state guest unexpecttantly come over and SPANOS was kind enough to accommodate our extra guest on the RESERVATION that was made weeks prior! From the 4 appetizers we ordered for the table to share, to the complimentary polenta cakes, and our dinners.... EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND..... just remember, RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED AND THEY USUALLY BOOK UP FAST!
