Spasso

"Innovative" Italian fare and "excellent" wines come via "friendly" staffers at this slightly "sceney" West Villager; locals who note it becomes "loud and tight" at prime times "hope it doesn't get more popular" – prices "on the expensive side" may keep crowds in check.

Bobby Werhane's Spasso Taps Ed Carew as Exec Chef

Craig Wallen is out as the executive chef at Spasso, Bobby Werhane's West Village Italian spot. Taking his place is Ed Carew, most recently executive chef at Le Caprice, the now-shuttered restaurant at The Pierre Hotel in the space now occupied by Sirio. He's also spent time in the kitchens of Craftbar and Gramercy Tavern and a handful of San Francisco restaurants.

Spasso Restaurant Review

This West Village eatery serves up both classic and inventive Italian fare. Diners can choose a bottle from the all-Italian wine list (there are 150 selections) and browse a menu separated in the usual Italian manner (antipasti, primi and secondi).

Homey Italian spot from a Choptank peep takes on Alfama's former corner. Comfy interior with long marble bar, white walls, chef's table angled off the kitchen. Former Lupa and Convivio chef has "fun" with updated old country menu. Housemade ricotta and stracciatella, scallop crudo with blood orange and smoked paprika. Arctic char for two and a glass of house vino makes for a great affordable date.

uninformed staff

We heard they do BYOB Sundays. We wanted to check so we called to confirm this and a woman said she knew nothing about that and the corkage fee was $30. A friend who had been there on Sundays was sure that it was ok to bring wine. We called again and a man told us he had no idea and he would check leaving me on hold for so long I hung up.We went anyway-without taking wine- and a woman at the...
