Spuntino Wine Bar & Italian Tapas has made it a goal to introduce their guests to a wonderful breadth of world-class international wine that is paired with an expansive Italian, small plate menu. The restaurants focus on fresh, local and seasonal ingredients with a menu that changes four times a year. To make sure that they are using the best ingredients available, the Spuntino kitchen teams work closely with a number of area farms.
