The service was great and we were sat in almost our own private room with only one other party. As soon as we sat down, we were given complimentary appetizers including a really yummy French onion pasta, and fresh bread and olive oil dipping, and pi
Finally made it to Spano's.
Tough reservation that takes planning, unless you don't mind getting seated at 8:00p. Restaurant is vibrant to say the least. A full house enjoying the comfortable setting, wine (BYOB), and massive portions of delicious Italian food. Service was

Overpriced, underwhelming.
Got verbally accosted one time for taking a picture of the outside by some boomer ding dong one day, demanding I delete it. I was just showing my friends across country after I had a solid B meal there. After that, meh. That dude was way out of li

The most awful service and experience
For yearsโyearsโour group of six has tried to score a reservation at Spano's during our annual summer week in Point Pleasant Beach. It became a bit of a running joke: "Maybe next year we'll finally get into Spano's!" The

Spano's Ristorante Italiano is the Real Deal!
Just returned from 10 days in Sicily. I'd put Spano's Ristorante Italiano above any place we visited there. The food at Spano's is excellent, portions are generous and the service is friendly & attentive. The marinara sauce (gravey
Great Italian American dishes cooked to perfection
Great Italian American dishes cooked to perfection and reasonably priced. Be sure to make a reservation. This is a popular spot.
Does not live up to the Chicken Parm hype
So heard this place has the best chicken parm in NJ. Hard to get reservation so decided to get a Thursday night reservation in early January. We were seated quickly. Itโs street parking. Inside is pleasant, a bit tacky with plastic grape vines on c

Simply the best
This is not really a review, but a 'thank you' to Joe Spano and his staff. We have been going to there for about six years and at least 10-12 times a year; meaning we have eaten there approximately 60-75 times. We wouldn't be eating
Wow Wow Wow OMG
I was very skeptical about going out to another Italian restaurant. My wife raved what she had read about this place, and really wanted to come here to eat. The place looks like any other place you go too cozy quaint. Note you have to have reservatio

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Spano's Ristorante Italiano Point Pleasant Beach at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Spano's Ristorante Italiano Point Pleasant Beach page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Spano's Ristorante Italiano Point Pleasant Beach to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Spano's Ristorante Italiano Point Pleasant Beach!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
