Dining Guide

Spataro offers sophisticated Italian fare in a prime downtown location across from Capitol Park. Tagliata (grilled flat iron steak) and grilled salmon typify the meaty end of the menu, alongside an ample selection of pasta and thin-crust pizzas. Expect to be wowed by the sweeping geometric shapes, minimalist lighting and contemporary colors that define this expansive, designer-hip space. Or check out the happy hour menu, featuring items like meatball sliders with tomato sauce and provolone and deviled egg crostini. Or sip a bottled beer, glass of wine or cocktail for $3 to $6 per item.
