Osteria La Spiga aka: La Spiga

I went once to the old location and last night we went to the new location. Saturday night – packed. 40 minute wait list. All the hosts seemed dazed and overwhelmed. They handled it well..
ANYway, I asked the waitress for suggestions the whole way. Liked the salad with rabbit, etc…
The reason I am writing this is because though overall it was a special, expensive, fairly fun experience, I was totally insulted by the asparagus wrapped in prosciutto. I didn’t see how much it was and let the waitress suggest it – it was 3 (THREE!!!) stalks of asparagus wrapped in prosciutto. I think it was at least $6 or maybe $8. Seriously, it tainted my entire impression because I’ve always found the portions really small and I don’t know how the pictures on this post manage to make it look more substantial for the prices but really, the asparagus was the last straw.
I only say “worth visiting” because everyone should experience the atmosphere and the tiramisu, but don’t go if you’re hungry.

I really loved atmosphere of the old space. The new loaction isn’t bad, just very different from the small intimate feel of the original. And to still call it an “osteria” is a stretch.

The food is still quite good, though.

I went here for a first date (at the previous location) and ended up with great food and a bf.

Italian food at it’s finest!

Osteria La Spiga left their Broadway QFC location, and have just reopened a couple of blocks away, on 12th. I haven’t been in yet, but the new space looks fantastic…

This place owns my best dining experience ever! REALLY, I’ve tried to beat it at other places with no luck. La Spiga, owns my heart, and they earned it they way a woman earns a mans heart, through the stomach.;)

Try it you’ll like it.
