As avid food and culinary aficionados my wife and I are both in the business and this restaurant is at the top of our list especially for BYOB in NNJ. It takes a lot of consistent talent Creativity and hospitality to garner our loyal patronage to a restaurant nearly on a weekly basis. We would likely do daily if we could afford it! Our last holiday party in the Sophia Loren room which didn’t seem so long ago was stellar with rave reviews from our guests capped off by Joe bring fresh roasted warm Italian chestnuts to the table. Such a class act.

Read moreWe are returning patrons of Spiga. Last night we were a party of 8. While in the early past we rated Spiga 5 stars, last night for New Year’s Eve Spiga fell short for us. The food was tasty but the wow factor was missing the mark. Portions were skimpy and overpriced. Meatball appetizer came out with 3 small meatballs that cost $18. It was actually comical to see. We had to cut them in 1/4 to manage a tiny taste. Clam and calamari appetizer… skimpy. Cedar plank salmon with crabmeat, tasty but skimpy portion… served with a “squirt” of mashed potatoes & a tiny mouthful of broccoli. Pasta dishes looked good and portioned well. Service was just ok. We are going to sit out Spiga for a while. Too many other fabulous restaurants in the area with better value. We give the value a 1-2 star rating. Taste and service 3-4 stars. To the owners, please consider this constructive criticism as we hope to return next time with a 5 star review for you. Last night we leave you feeling an average...
Read moreExcellent service & superb food.
We had an 85th birthday party and our server, Frankie, was very attentive and gracious. Deserved and received a well deserved 21% tip.
The food was exquisite! The tuna special was cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. The Fra Diavolo was stupendous. Clams and mussels were fresh and sauce was savory with just the right amount of a spicy kick. However, the best meal of the night was the octopus - words cannot describe how great it tastes. Grilled and seasoned like I never had before. The whole family loved this place and we all enjoyed sharing our meals with each other.
Lastly, we asked them to make a cake for the birthday boy. They made a death by chocolate cake that was so rich and chocolatey. If you have any sort of celebration have them make the cake for you. You will not be disappointed.
If you are looking for great Italian food and great service visit Frankie at Spiga in Totowa. I can't...
