Last week we ventured out to Olde City to have dinner at Spasso Italian Grill. The weather was nice, so we suggested to our hostess that we sit outside; they were very flexible and allowed us to sit where we wanted. However, the only table that was available outside was the last table, farthest from the restaurant. Again, since it was such a nice night we decided to sit at this table. The waiter was very nice, and immediately gave us water and read us the specials of the night. Unfortunately, this was the only prompt aspect of our dining experience. After we ordered, our food did not arrive for about an hour. We ordered an Antipasto and Bruschetta as appetizers. Both we very tasty and delightful. For the entrees we ordered Gnocchi con Aspargi, Crab Raviolli, and Penne Spasso. Both the Crab Raviolli and the Penne Spasso we quite delicious, however, the gnocchi was less tasty than expected. The asparagus that came with it had more flavor than the actual gnocchi. Other than the slow service and the bland gnocchi, the ambiance of Spasso was very welcoming. Inside, we saw families having a casual dinner. Also, there was a lot of space inside, which gave us the impression that this would be a nice place for a party. Overall, for large events or big dinners where time is not of the essence, we would recommend Spasso sans the Gnocci.
