My husband and I went to Vespa for the first time Sunday evening. The food was outstanding and the service was wonderful. I have a food allergy that unfortunately makes it hard for me to eat Italian food but Vespa cooked everything perfectly. When a problem did occur the female manager Angela handled the situation appropriately and professionally. My husband and I strongly disagree with another reviewer who claimed that the female manager was rude and not professional. We were treated great by her and all the staff. We would recommend Vespa to anyone and we look forward to going back.
Pros: Ambience, Wine list, Menu Choices, Outdoor Patio
Cons: Bathroom could use some work.

I can not tell you how much I love going to Vespa when I am in town visiting my sister. Whenever she knows I am coming in she calls and makes a reservation. We love to come in around 6:30 to beat the crowd that wants to sit in the Garden. As always we start off our night with either a Vespa Royale or Raspberry Mojito (can't go wrong with either)...The menu changes so we like to try new things so we always talk to the owner and he reccomends some great dishes.. The staff is always helpful and polite when we want something and have a question. As long as my sister lives up here we will always come to visit Vespa when I come into town (probably will come here even if she moves)....
