I have eaten at Spazzo a number of times, and I think it is one of the best restaurants and hangouts in Redmond. The wine selection is superb - they have some 50 wines available by the glass - and during happy hour they area available at 1/2 price. I think on Sundays they also have 1/2 price bottles of wine, which is a great deal.\r

For the food, you can't go wrong with their pizzaz and pastas. I have tried their lamb and beef dishes as well, but I think that they do a better job with the traditional Italian meals. The meatballs are especially tasty, and my favorite item on the menu is the spaghetti and meatballs. If you go there for lunch you must have the Spazzo burger. You wouldn't think it from an Italian restaurant, but they make an amazing burger!\r

One other thing to note is their weekend brunch - this is a great place to go in the morning, and their eggs benedict is amazing. \r

Overall, Spazzo is a great spot to eat on the eastside. The atmosphere is good, the staff has always been polite and quick, the wine selection and Italian food is fantastic, and the prices are reasonable.
