Spumoni Italian Cafe & Pizzeria

I don’t know why this place isn’t busy all the time… sometimes it is and sometimes not.
It’s in a odd location but still.
We’ve been there many times and always have good experiences
They start you off with olive tapenade and tasty bread.
I’ve had the pastas, chicken, seafood, veal and pizza and they all come out delicious.
Great service, really good food.

A Newbury Park hidden secret! This place is so delicious! From the bread, olive dip, salad, pasta and dessert! We are always blown away by the hospitality, quality of food and atmosphere! We have ordered food in and still impressed. Absolutely a 6 star! Also for those with celiac, we have found the gluten free menu and care over food exceptional. They are very understanding and provide special dietary accommodations. We have come here for a romantic date or with our three kids and it’s always a treat. We have been here several times and it just gets better, lasagna, eggplant parmesan, spaghetti, gnocchi, veal and more have been amazing!!!

I stopped in here for lunch as I was in the neighborhood. It was a slow day/​time in the restaurant and I was greeted right away and seated quickly. The lunch menu is extensive, with appetizers, salads, pastas, pizzas and a large variety of gnocchi plates. I ordered a pasta dish with minestrone soup. Table bread came out first and it was amazing. I was served a doughy circle of bread, toasted on the outside but wonderfully soft on the inside. Heavenly.
The minestrone was nice and tasty but too spicy for my taste. A 1.5 growing slowly to a 2.5 on a scale of 0 to 10 where I desire a 0. It was just barely something I could eat, not willing to send perfectly good food back or let go uneaten just because I’d accidentally ordered something I didn’t enjoy.
My custom pasta dish of capellini pasta with olive oil and basil and shrimp was also quite good. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the cheese they offered on top had a bold, highly complimentary flavor. The shrimp were, to be honest, overcooked. Not tender or juicy in the slightest, but I don’t really mind firm, well done shrimp if I am in the right mindset so overall the dish was extremely pleasing to me. I would get it again.
The gentleman who served me seemed to be the restaurant owner. He was very polite and professional and checked on me often. My soda was never empty and the pacing of the meal was great. I can’t wait to come back and try one of the salads I almost got today for my main course!

This restaurant was great. The service was wonderful and the food was great. I’ll be back!

This restaurant has it all. The ambiance, the food, the wine list, and the amazing service. Our favorite waiter Elias is the greatest! Go visit them. You won’t be disappointed!

What a pleasant surprise!
When I was told we’d be going to strip-​mall Italian, my expectations were only slightly higher than (gulp) Olive Garden. To my complete & pleasant surprise, Spumoni’s was classy and understated on the inside and the food was really delightful!
We started with an order or garlic bread and heir bruschetta sampler — both very fresh and flavorful. I had the gnocchi ala pesto for my entrée and it was very well done — gnocchi were as soft and light as I could have wanted and the pesto was very fresh and didn’t taste one bit canned. Pesto is my litmus test so many Italian places as it can be so poorly executed.
The portions were generous but not insane; I ate a little more than half before begging out and asking for a box.
The icing on the cake was their tiramisu. So intensely flavored but not cloyingly sweet! Very satisfied all around and we will be back soon!

Fantastic Italian!
From the wine to the entrees and dessert — everything was absolutely delicious! Thank you!
We will be returning now that we are locals. :)

Been here for 7 years, and nope — never knew it existed. In the same strip mall with Natural Café, Holdren’s, Roadrunner, and the new Bottle & Pint. If I knew, I would have certainly gone much sooner, as I’m a fan of the Spumoni’s in Santa Monica on Montana. With additional locations in Sherman Oaks and Stevenson Ranch.
Now, this location is small and quaint. Not cray cray, just right — I’m sure you can walk in and get a table right away. Inside, is quite charming with appropriate and lovely Italian music, dark lighting, and tables with booths surround. There’s a very small patio on the front-​side, not my cup of tea with a view of the parking lot and since it’s right next to freeway, lot’s of freeway noise.
The food is better than good at a fair price:
=================================
1. Chicken Parmigiana ($ 16.95, 4.0 stars) — Excellent chicken parm, crisp yet juicy, atop with good quality mozzarella and sauce. Served with a side of mixed veggies and pasta. Trouble is, I’m used to a bigger portion with a take-​home box. Usually a double-​breast or at least, butterflied and larger. This, a single-​breast size.
2. Pesto w/​Linguini & Shrimp ($ 19.30. 4.5 stars) — With a lot of extras, my gf created a special dish that was worthy for her, a queen. A bit oily stops it from being a 5 star.
3. Pizza Bianca (Med, $ 16.95. 4.5 stars) — Wonderful white pizza with garlic, spinach, and ricotta. I’m in love.
4. Vegetarian Pizza (Med, $ 16.95, 4.0 stars) — really good, but a «standard» good pizza.
Conclusion:
=========
All in all, I liked it. Perhaps, missing personality that other Italian eateries offer, the food was very good. The menu has a lot of choices, and the Gnocchi Bar with 12 or more sauces may be worth taking a good hard look at.

This was everything we had hoped it would be and more
Everything served to us by Pepe was delicious and fresh
They make their own bread, salad dressings and spumoni ice cream
I cant say enough about how pleased with the service and food
The caesar salad was one of the best I have ever eaten
If I lived closer, this would be regular spot for me to go

Pepe took excellent care of us… we sat outside with our dog and enjoyed one of the best calzones I’ve ever had.
Their Chianti is awesome, as is their tiramisu…
Next time we are traveling through, we will definitely be stopping!

My favorite dish at Spumoni is The Chicken Marsala. Very good… with lots of sweet marsala wine taste! Salad… very good with Italian Dressing… definitely an «upscale dining experience.» Welcoming friendly staff… Recommended. John Boland

Great service, ambience, and food! This restaurant is amazing! First off, it has a great owner and friendly staff. The service is wonderful. The food is delicious. Everything tasted so fresh and homemade. This place is definitely worth the drive. I will be back soon!

The Calamari was like chewing on thick rubber bands… yuck! Very disappointed and will not go back.

We tried Spumoni today after seeing its flier. They were totally empty at lunch time on Sunday. We were served warm bread and tapenade, which was very good. My son ordered Gnocchi Boscaiola (mushroom sauce), and the Gnocchi were fresh and soft. The mushroom sauce was very rich and tasted amazing. My husband ordered Prosciutto Caprese panini, which was also very good. I ordered their lunch special– linguine with shrimp, fish, and wine sauce, it’s good as well. All the meals came with a choice of soup or salad, and we all got the Italian salad. The regular meals were priced fairly reasonable, but the special was a bit expensive. We definitely will go back.

We went here for my birthday dinner with my husband son and in laws. It was our first visit and def will not be our last. The food and service was top notch! The warm fresh bread and tapenade was superb! Everything was fresh and homemade. They give good size portions of food so come hungry! I def recommend the Tiramisu for dessert… Can’t wait to go back! They also have take out and delivery service… yay!!!

We eat here at least once a week and the food is consistently delicious.
The staff and service is amazing and they are always so kind to my partner and I (and our baby).
We recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal. We even have friends from out of town that request to eat at Spumoni whenever they’re in town.
The Gnocchi is amazing and they also have gluten free pastas that taste just as delicious as the gluten-​filled pasta.
I can’t say enough great things about this place!

Good for a quick lunch. Expected better. Needs more flavor in the sauces. The bruschetta was three different kinds. I was not expecting that. All were good but not great. The bread at the table was awesome! So was the black olive tapenade given at the table! The soups are the best deal here!

Sunday afternoon delightfully surprised as a 1^st time visit. Everything was delicious and service was friendly and helpful. Gnocchi 4 Formaggi e Spinach was honestly the most delicious gnocchi we have EVER tasted, there was absolutely nothing that could have made this dish better, swear there was an angel singing with each pillowy fluffy savory bite of handmade gnocchi. Also had a pizza, Quattro Stagioni which was also wonderful, crust was delicious, toppings very adequate & nice quality. We are looking forward to coming back to sample everything on the menu! Graci Spumoni! Your food, service & atmosphere are 5 Star! Beso, D & T.

Went in with a party of 10 with high hopes and was mildly disappointed. The server seemed as though he was aggravated and didn’t enjoy explaining the menu to us. Also when we tried to split the check and explain what we wanted before we started ordering, he seemed like we were making him do more work and didn’t want to bother.
The food. Was good tho!
Got a pizza with ricotta cheese spinach and garlic. I was a little hesitant about not getting meat, but wow this pizza was good!
Unfortunately with the service and lack of enthusiasm this restaurant only gets a measly 3 stars. Sorry.

Wife started here with her girl friends and brought home the leftovers from her Seafood Pasta and other dishes for me — was very good and that after she had already eaten the good stuff out of it. She and her girl friends can’t stop raving about the ambiance, great food and very reasonable prices !!! So I became a fan an whoooow it is alway great !!! Enjoy and be astonished as I was at the great food, service and ambiance !!! Excellent wine also at reasonable prices.
