About this business
Tucked just below street level, this low-lit Italian-American restaurant boasts a Mediterranean vibe, not to mention a warm bonhomie not usually found along bustling 14th Street. Inside, you'll find low ceilings crossed by dark wood beams and brick walls adorned with artwork. Wood-framed windows open up to a little jewel box terrazzo and deep in the rear, a small semi-open kitchen completes the rustic look. The menu at Crispo offers a solid range of traditional entrées, along with a nice antipasto selection and handfu... read more

Amazing!! – I have eaten at Crispo numerous times and never been disappointed. The food is wonderfully prepared and inventive and always fresh. The back patio is like being in Tuscanny. The service is good and the staff pleasant. It has a homey feel to it and just a wonderful place to eat. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. It's one of my favorites and I take friends and family there whenever I can. Dining at it's best!
Ice Cold – Let me say that we were so fed up with the poor service here that we left before the waitress made time to take our order. I can honestly say that I have never been made to feel so unwelcome in a restaurant in my life. From the icy reception, to the slow staff, to being seated in a hidden alcove built for a party of ten when there were only two of and the main dining room was half full. Never again, Crispo. Pretension with no just cause.
You cant judge a book by its cover. – Walked by here a million time went in on Thursday, this place is beautiful and the food was really good really good. If you get a chance check this place out you wont be disappointed.
Nothing Special – So two of us walked by last Friday and decided to give Crispo a try. We knew we would have to wait since we didn't have a reservation. The hostess/manager told us 20 minutes, well it seems she forgot about us because it took 1 1/2 hours until we were seated!! This alone made us realize how disorganized they were. The service was great-server and manager on the floor were very attentive and knowledgeable, but the food was such a dissapointment. My salad (with pears and frisee) was bland, Pasta (Polpette) was... read more
Skip it! – I went there on Saturday night with a group of 4 and was embarrassed I suggested it. The pasta was over-cooked and clumpy. The service was just ok. The price was not commensurate with the food, service or setting. There are so many great Italian restaurants in the city I can't imagine why anyone would come here.
Love – Crispo is such a treat to come to. The asparagus salad is great, the Branzino is delicious, the wine list is so easy and reliable. Also try ordering a half an order of the carbonara and one of entrees together and you will certainly leave the restaurant a better person. Crispo is a great place or a cozy date or even for a group date. Definitley ask to sit in the barn in the back - its a great atmosphere. ... Crispo makes for a perfect night. You'll always see the chef perusing through the restaurant too - which is a n... read more
the food was great but....... – The host and management were rude and disorganized. I was there with a large party and it seemed as though no one at the restaurant knew what was going on or what to do. At one point I saw the manager arguing with one of the people throwing the party. Now, I don't know who was at fault BUT what ever happened to the "customer always being right". It was embarrassing and it made the restaurant look bad. And from my perspective, the customer was not wrong. I would not go back there based on that ... read more
Delicious Italian! – I had dinner there last night- the food was amazing! The Beef Steak Tomato & Bufala Mozzarella salad was really good- the mozzarella was so fresh! I had the Branzino and my boyfriend had the Veal Medaglione- both entrees are highly recommended. For dessert we had the Banana Flambé w/ Nutella & vanilla gelato- delicious! I can't wait to go back to try the pasta dishes, although I do agree with the other reviewers that the service needs improvement. Our inattentive waitress kept on disappearing and was kin... read more
I'll keep going back – I've been to Crispo over 5 times in the past 3 years sometimes with large groups and sometimes on a date, my experiences have always been very positive. The food is wonderful and the wine list is impressive with out being snooty. On this last visit the service could have been better but still, I'll be back.
