Spumoni Restaurant

My wife and I along with our 2 daughters were there a week ago and had such a lovely experience.
Food was excellent.
generous portions (we all took home leftovers that made for a delicious lunch the next day). the restaurant was small and charming. Even though we all enjoyed our food, the best part of the experience was the service.
the wait staff were excellent and the owner was unbelievably charming and kind, going out of his way to make conversation and make us feel welcome (we're from Toronto). He was so sweet with our daughters and even gave us complimentary Tiramisu (to eat there, and to take home). Would definitely return if back in Sherman Oaks.

Overall great experience and food.
Our table had the Chicken Limone Entree, Linguine Al Pesto and Spaghetti Carbonara.
We enjoyed our plates with endless amounts of parmesan cheese, sprinkled across the top by the helpful servers who attend to you gracefully, making sure your beverage is always full.
Our complentary dessert caught us by suprise, as I had to ask to make sure it wasn't a mistake and of course it wasn't.
The guy I ignored walking in, concerend about our parking spot, ended up being the owner and gave us tiramisu because he acknowledged the fact that his parking spots were full and we had to walk from across the block! If you're in the area, give it a try! The nice cripy bread and delicious olive spread were a great start, while deciding your meals! Thank you, Spumoni for the amazimg experience! :)

Small quaint restaurant right on Ventura.
The food was decent.
The owner was delightful and very sweet and kind.
I wish I could give a better review but the restaurant itself was very old and not in a charming way.
There was a musty smell that overpowered the food.
It was clean enough just rundown. The atmosphere was enough to take away from my enjoyment of the food. With so many choices and with prices so high these days, I can't see myself ever coming back or recommending to others.
