At Spadaro Roman Kitchen, the menu transports you straight to the heart of Rome with bold, authentic flavors. The Calamari Fritti arrives crisp and golden, with a delicate crunch that gives way to tender rings of calamari-perfectly seasoned and impossible to share. The Antipasto Italiano for two is a rustic celebration of cured meats, aged cheeses, and marinated vegetables, all plated generously and brimming with traditional flair. For a lighter start, the Insalata di Rucola is vibrant and peppery, with arugula dressed in a sharp lemon vinaigrette that awakens the palate.

The pizzas are fired with purpose. The Amatriciana pizza features rich tomato sauce, guanciale, and pecorino-savory, smoky, and utterly Roman. The Marinara is a minimalist classic: bright tomato, garlic, oregano, no cheese-yet full of character. For a Neapolitan touch, the Napoletana brings in anchovies, olives, and capers for a bold, briny bite.

Spadaro’s calzones deserve a spotlight of their own. The Classico is molten with ricotta and mozzarella, its crust blistered and golden. The Farcito adds hearty sausage and spinach, delivering a rich, meaty comfort. The Scarola surprises with sautéed escarole and olives-a deeply savory, satisfying twist that stands out in every bite.
