Spuntino sits on West 32nd Avenue in Highland, run by Elliot and Cindhura and described by the team as "global mind, local body, Italian soul." The kitchen leans on from-scratch technique, making its pasta, bread, and gelato by hand, along with some cheeses and digestivi in house.
The menu moves between traditional Italian cooking and dishes shaped by the chef's South-Indian heritage and international travel. Reviewers point to risotto, focaccia, zeppole, capesante, elk tartare, striped bass, and an Indian-inflected curry as regular orders, with a wine list built to run alongside that range.
Spuntino has been named to Eater's Essential 38 and to citywide best-of lists from 5280 Magazine and Westword in 2025.
