There is a welcome change to the typical Italian fare found through out NYC. For those of us lucky enough to have dined at Spiga, we know of what I type! We have imported friends from across the country to enjoy the maltagliati with monk fish and the gnocchi and the veal with the onion jam -- simply to die for. The gelato is heaven sent as is the panna cotta. The menu changes seasonally, so there is always something new and worth exploring. David and Luigi and Matthew as well as the entire staff at the restaurant are welcoming and well informed. We have never had better service and are continually welcomed backed and encouraged to try new things. As for those two freakishly similar reviews identical in verbiage (""UGH WAY TOO RICH"") but far apart in date, they must be construed as the same person who is out simply to trash a great place to eat and eat and eat!
Pros: service, intimacy, knowledge of staff
Cons: not open for lunch!
