Spano's Ristorante Italiano

Any actual person who has been to Spanos knows the fake reviews are simply haters or competitors trying to bring down the rating. I read one which was hilarious. "As Italian New Yorkers we were appalled with no gluten free dressing!!" Lol lol lol. I love the food and the owner is incredible. Yes its hard to get in. Deal with it. When you are this good it's worth it.

Do BETTER JOE!!! While you were away, your hostesses were RUDE! While we were waiting to be seated, (with a reservation) they sat many other tables before us, so my brother in-law asked what was happening? ...45 minutes after our reservation,the hostesses were talking badly about us right in front of us. Finally, we were seated and she slammed down our menus on the table, WITHOUT ANY APOLOGY at all. Then came the food catastrophe!!! The chicken franCHEESE had what looked like velveeta (being in the restaurant industry FOR YEARS, this is an EMBARRASSMENT!!!) Then came the FOOD ALLERGY ISSUES!!! Placed a salad with non gluten free dressing in front of the ONE person with celiac disease, which would've ended in a hospital visit.!!! As New York Italians, we are NEVER coming back here. So much for giving this a try. BYOB IS A MUST..it must be short for Bring Your Own BARF bag! Allen is the ONLY ASSET!
