The place is pretty great, dishes are innovative with beautiful flavors. Pasta was amazing. They have both tasting menu and a lar carte. We did tasting and it was pretty fun. Looking forward to do a lar carte option the next time. Wine pairing is spot on too. They also offer pasta club options where you can buy and pickup half-made pasta, and wow, chef puts in a lot of effort and these are fantastic too!

Phenomenally delicious. I don’t know why I don’t come here more often. The pastas are superb. The only issue was the doughnuts tasted like they had some sort of off alcohol in them. But I think it was just something in that one batch.

We are so incredibly grateful to the team at SPQR for making our 6-year wedding anniversary dinner unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. They went above and beyond to make the evening feel special — from a beautiful window seat to surprise touches throughout the meal. Our waiter was exceptional — warm, thoughtful, and full of wonderful surprises that truly made us feel celebrated. The atmosphere was romantic, the service impeccable, and the food… absolutely amazing. Every dish was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. Thank you, SPQR, for giving us the best anniversary experience we could have asked for. We’ll cherish the memory forever.
