Spazio Vino & Cucina

My wife and I went here for dinner for our anniversary and were excited to try this cute Italian restaurant. We unfortunately were underwhelmed by the food, except for the Pizza, and for the price point had higher expectations. They gave us a little card recognizing our anniversary, which was nice. We ordered a drink, the Furbo, the mushroom pizza, the risotto, and a Tiramisu. The Furbo was nice, the mushroom pizza was delicious (great crust and nice balance), the risotto was overly cheesy and creamy which made it too salty (the shrimp were delicious), and the tiramisu was imbalanced with too much cream vs “cake” (the cream was also very dense - mostly mascarpone) May come back for happy hour pizza and wine, but will probably skip the mains.

I am so thrilled we have such a high caliber restaurant like Spazio here in our small town of Holly Springs. You won’t find a better lamb chop dish in the state of NC! This family owned and operated boutique restaurant is full of charm, warm and inviting with a touch of sophistication. The menu selections have all been perfected, I have been thoroughly impressed every time we have dined there. Another must try is the Gnocchi in mushroom parmigiana and truffle sauce. With side of their amazing meatballs!!! The truffles and flour are imported and don’t contain the glyphosates and high gluten found in US brands. No tummy bloat:) The veggies and meats mostly organic. My cocktails have been spot on and the wines won’t disappoint! Their desserts are refreshing choices of homemade gelato. I love

SPAZIO is an exceptional traditional Roman Hostaria nestled right in the heart of Holly Springs; an absolute gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine and wine. We began with the Pinsa Romana, a Roman-style pizza featuring biologic tomato sauce, creamy burrata, fresh basil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It was outstanding; rustic, flavorful, and reminiscent of old-world Italy. A perfect start to the meal. For the main course, my wife ordered the Porchetta, a crackling-coated pork roast infused with garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and rosemary, served with salsa verde. It was masterfully prepared; crispy on the outside, tender inside, and surprisingly peppery without being overpowering. I chose the Lasagna, made with homemade pasta, beef and pork Bolognese, béch

Came for our anniversary. We received a warm greeting and anniversary wishes. They even gave us a card. We had the cacio e pepe and carbonara. Both were delicious. Fresh al dente pasta seasoned perfectly.

So much salt. My husband and I tried Spazio for the first time the other night and were really disappointed. The service was good but the food was not. I expected much more for the price. We split the insalata which seemed like it was just mixed greens olive oil and salt, so much salt. I could not eat it. We had the gnocchi and the carbonara for entrees, the gnocchi was very good but rich and the carbonara was disappointing, not a lot of flavor and too salty. We expected a lot more for the price.
