"A South Congress landmark for over 25 years, Vespaio has developed a reputation as one of the best spots in the area for both a romantic dinner and a classic Italian meal. The dining room is romantic and dimly lit, but there’s also a cozy bar that we sometimes like to post up at for a glass or two of wine and some pasta. The portions here are pretty big, but if you decide you do want to share a few smaller plates—despite coming to this very specific guide—all the housemade pastas are available in half-sized portions. But at least you can order knowing that it was your decision to make. " - nicolai mccrary
