Sprezza is a Roman Restaurant and Tavern created by Julian Barsotti, Chris, DJ and Martin Donohoe. The restaurant pays homage to the bustling and energetic Eternal City. Our food draws inspiration from the bold, diverse and comforting cooking of modern Rome, as well as old traditions that date back thousands of years. Our focus is flour and water, and our specialties are Pizza al Taglio, handmade and bronze die extruded pastas. You can expect classics like carbonara, cacio e pepe and Amatriciana executed with sprezzatura. And personal interpretations of Roman cuisine- Inspired by taste memory, the bounties of the 4 seasons and our community and culture. Our craft cocktail program has a focused emphasis on Italian spirits and our wine list is composed of only Southern Italian winemakers. “Tutte le strade portano a Roma.”

This was a very underwhelming experience. Pre-pandemic, Sprezza had an extensive menu, a wide variety of flavors, an amazing wine selection, and a very hospitable staff. This food selection is very limited, way overpriced for both quality and portion size, and the overall experience just wasn't what it was in 2019.

This restaurant will be closing before the end of 2021, and it really showed last night. I do not want to blame the staff, they did a pretty good job in the circumstances, but not only is the menu greatly reduced, but several things we wanted to order that were on the menu were not available because sold out. There were very few tables at 8:00 PM when we were there. The food we were able to order was good, but the selections were so limited that I cannot call the menu selection or food outstanding, as I used to think it was under different owners. We were told that the chef here is now planning to go somewhere else. I do not know what the future of this restaurant will be. It’s a shame, because it used to be one of our favorite places. To add to the issues, there was a loud electrical noise like a short that ladted 5 minutes during dinner. And we were brought the totally wrong check to sign—this in a nearly empty restaurant. The staff let us order things that they then returned to say were unavailable. Cannot recommend. We were there with out of town family for a special Xmas dinner celebration, and were completely disappointed.

The menu, like the decor, is spare but well executed & delicious. The decor is a bit too Spartan for my taste but it did afford the holiday costumed diners next to us a nice backdrop.

Sadly this will be our last time at Sprezza …it was almost as if there are new owners…none of the signature dishes that made this restaurant a stand out in its heyday are there anymore. They even changed the awesome pizza that Sprezza was known for…it tasted like frozen Pillsbury pizza dough…and the sauce…had to send it back.

The porch (they call it patio) is a lovely place to sit on a mild evening, but be forewarned it is LOUD. Food is good, but not great and fully priced. We split the bib lettuce salad (dressing too acid) and two pasta dishes, both good. Overall a nice evening.

We were excited to return to Sprezza, and were mildly disappointed. We still like the atmosphere and the patio was great. The service was uneven - at times attentive and at other times absent. The drinks/wine pours were on the smallish side. The Suppli (sp?) was tasty but salty. We had a salad of shaved zucchini, parm, olives and Caesar dressing. Really good. The mushroom pizza was light on the mushroom and more similar to those pies elsewhere in Dallas rather than the light, crispy flavorful pies we remembered from Sprezza. The lemon something cake on whipped ricotta was close to tasteless. Overall, dinner was ok - just not what we remembered.

The food was very good, although portion sizes were small. We sat on patio and it was a nice ambiance, minus the expected road noise. The biggest detractor from the dining experience was the poor service. There were maybe 8 tables occupied and at least 4 waiters so it was baffling how long it would take to place an order or get a water refill. Food was also slow to come out. I’m not sure how they could possibly operate if the restaurant was busy.

Sprezza never disappoints with their ever changing menus. The food was fresh & delicious. My one concern is, not a mask in sight by employees or patrons. I find this disrespectful to diners. We opted for outdoor dining due to the pandemic. Dallas has a mask mandate for indoor venues. I realize the governor thinks otherwise & leaves it up to businesses to enforce, but I was surprised to see this at Sprezza. It will probably be off our list of dining choices until things are safer. I’m sorry for this because their food is truly unique & delicious.

Our server was excellent. Recommended delicious wine, appetizers and pizza. The only negative was we had to eat on the patio and it was disgustingly hot. The hostess said she would bring us inside if she could. There was open tables in the air conditioning but we were still relegated to hot patio with wrought iron tables and uncomfortable chairs. Would have been a perfect night if I wasn’t sweating sooo much.

Sprezza is a long-time favorite. But our meal last night raised concern that it is on its last legs. Either that or they are having major supply issues. The menu was even more limited than usual and when ordering a gin and tonic, we were advised they were out of Tanqueray. After ordering Hendrick’s instead, the drink arrived with an admonition that it had been prepared with the last of the Hendrick’s. Our wine request was substituted because they were out of what we ordered—something we were only advised of after the replacement bottle had been opened. The wine list itself was greatly pared down from previous visits. We had a very good meal notwithstanding these hiccups, but the writing seems to be on the wall.

Great food, but just really small portions. We always leave hungry. I ordered the favor and I received 5 small (1") square cheese filled ravioli and that was my main course and it was $25. It was very good, but it needs to be dinner sized portions.

Too much has changed. Sprezza has lost it's magic touch. It's not on our top ten list anymore and we used to go every few weeks. it will be awhile before we return. Menu is much smaller. So fewer items to choose from. Pizza was ok but not great, watermelon sald was fun. The ravioli were just okay and the buccatini was seriously undercooked. They were great during the first pandemic----

Unfortunately this time the outside patio was extremely noisy from one group of people. We cannot hear our waiters explanation of the menu. After a few minutes we explained this to him asked for a table away inside. None were available. Other people on the patio kept looking at the same group. Again we asked our waiter about the noise level And he said he would talk to the manager. Nothing was done very very annoying. Somethings should’ve been said to those people. Fortunately they eventually left when we were halfway through our meal.

This used to be one of our favorite restaurants…so sad to see it so neglected by the owner…it was going downhill before Covid, and has continued to decline. The food and wine menu is very small, and they are always out of basic things. No seafood on the menu anymore…I think Mr Barsotti is giving his attention elsewhere

Friday night primetime reservations... Back of the house was spot on; food marvelous and full of freshness and flavors. Pastas were both wonderful, very deep flavor if small servings. Front of the house was a mess. The outside dining area shares servers with the inside in some odd pattern, like everyone inside has to cover 1 outside table, which leads to long stretches with no service, waiting for something as basic as water or bread. Yes they caught it and apologized but got the feeling it's a feature not a bug. Not anything I'd expect at this price point, in this neighborhood, with the options one has around here. Food is very very good but... maybe caught them on an off night.

Sprezza is our go to place for a guaranteed exceptional dining experience. Chef Ryan has proven to us to be one of the gifted Chefs in the metroplex. From the Pizza to the desserts, never has a single dish not met our expectations...and our expectations are extremely high. Additionally, the staff at Sprezza treat each other and their guests like family, and that is reflected in the quality of service and food. If needing any other reason to go, Ryan will prepare a chef tasting, contingent on your budget, with only a 24 hour notice (be sure to include this request in your reservations). Sprezza is one of the best, if not the best!!!
