Reviews for Spigola Vino e Cucina in Hamilton Township, NJ

Food is pricey but excellent. If you want food cooked to perfection and sit in a place with beautiful decor and ambience, I’d... choose this place. Read more

Don't let the location of this beautiful restaurant fool you, it's in a small strip mall behind a gas station. So maybe it's a... good thing!? It's a nice atmosphere and vibe, dark and busy but you wouldn't know. Perfect for a favorite place, date night, orto impress a food lover. Had the seafood pasta, which was perfect for me. To drink had the white sangria that they make inhouse, honestly could drink that all day. Would be great if they sold it by the bottle, I'd enjoy every glass!!! Passed ondessert only due to being full from dinner, which was a healthy portion. Top 5 in my restaurants to eat, will definitely return. Read more

First time at Spigola and we plan to return. Great craft cocktail menu, solid wine list and a menu that will appeal to all... tastes. Highly recommend the grilled octopus appetizer. The veal Milanese was great, but plan to take some home! Read more

I've been going here for years. The food is always phenomenal. The staff is very professional yet personable. My boyfriend and I... both have worked in the service industry. We know good service. We've never had an issue with service. Read more

I finally realized I had not tried this place after searching out the best restaurants in the area for the last four years. We... walked in and initially were impressed by the aesthetic of the restaurant but it wasn’t long after being seated we realized wehad a TV just behind us with the news on and the volume was quite loud. Also a huge surveillance camera under the TV staringright at you. The noise from the TV coupled with the music and the staff speaking at high pitch only with four (4) tables in theplace made it quite disturbing. If you are a diner that likes to enjoy not only food but atmosphere, you’ll be gravelydisappointed. We ordered drinks which were good but each time I ordered the same drink it was made differently. We ordered thecheese board which looked amazing but there were too many dry cheese and not one creamy cheese to complement the board. It wasquite unenjoyable after 10 minutes of eating hard cheese with an almost dried out fig purée. The Caesar salad was good, thoughfor the price two flimsy hearts of romain served on a plate that was too small was just not enough. The bread with the roastedgarlic was indeed good. We ordered the pork chop and the crab cakes. As you can see from the photos both may be appealing tothe eye but not to the palate. The pork chop had no flavor except for the gamey flavor natural to the meat. It was quitedisappointing that not even the flavor of the peppers came thru. There was no sauce so the pork chop was dry and largelyinedible. The potatoes were not golden brown and unattractive. The crab cakes were overwhelmed by the rice pilaf and theasparagus. Trying to enjoy the crab cake (which if graded separately would be given 6/10) with tough rice pilaf was someadventure. Largely unenjoyable. The bus boy or assistant server was good and kept on top of clearing the table. The server,however, was largely inattentive and we had to wait for extended periods to get a drink. Towards the end of the night, we had to Read more

Even though we have been dining at Spigola starting from 2011, and throughout the years have left several reviews here and... there, we haven't had a chance to stop by in over 2 years. Last night's dinner was nothing short of excellent. Probably the bestupscale Italian restaurant interior. Very attentive and obliging service. Pleasant staff and management, with a personal touchat that. Extensive menu, with numerous options for every taste and satisfying choices including everyone's preferable dishes.The food is perfectly executed, cooked and plated in an equally appealing way. Delicious appetizers: Grilled Spanish Octopus(chickpea puree, preserved lemon, smoked paprika, sea salt) and Roasted Lamb Lollipop Chops (wild rice, olives, red onions,tomato, oregano vinaigrette), we will definitely order them next time at Spigola. Amazing 12 oz Center Cut N.Y Strip Steak withroasted potatoes (or mashed per your choice), cooked to perfection. Nice wine list featuring ample choices of both domestic andItalian wines, including several excellent Amoronos from Veneto region. Prices are not the cheapest but neither exorbitant. Youpay for a quality meal; for spaghetti and meatballs one can head to one of the endless strip mall "restaurantesitalianos". Ample parking. Ideal location with both easy, no u-turns requiring access to Hamilton and Bordentown, Crosswicks,and route 130 north and south. Highly recommended. We will come back very soon. Read more
