Dining Experience

At La Spiga, we carry forward the legacy of Chef Vince Cultraro, whose passion for authentic cuisine shaped everything we do. Born in Marzamemi, Sicily, Chef Vince began cooking at just 12 years old and trained under a Florentine chef before completing his apprenticeship in Torino. His commitment to purity, tradition, and excellence laid the foundation for La Spiga’s philosophy.

Today, we remain true to his vision. All of our dishes are made to order—never pre-prepared. We handcraft everything from naturally reduced sauces to house-ground meats and handmade sausages. Our ingredients are of the highest quality: wild-caught fish, organic eggs from free-range chickens, and meats free of hormones and antibiotics.

We continue to uphold the standards Chef Vince set—because at La Spiga, food is not just a meal, but a craft.

At La Spiga, our wine list is curated to delight every kind of wine lover—from the curious newcomer to the seasoned collector. We offer a diverse selection of high-quality wines, ranging from approachable, affordable bottles to rare and sought-after vintages.

While we proudly feature an extensive collection of Italian and American wines, our list also includes exceptional selections from Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, and beyond. Each bottle is chosen with care, reflecting our commitment to quality, variety, and discovery.

We believe wine should be accessible and enjoyable, not intimidating. That’s why we feature Brian & Connie’s Hot Picks right on our front page—an ever-changing list of hidden gems, described in simple, down-to-earth language. It’s our way of honoring Chef Vince Cultraro’s adventurous spirit and love of good wine—one glass at a time.

After many years of working alongside Master Chef Vince Cultraro, Executive Chef Raul Rivera now leads the kitchen at La Spiga. With deep respect for Chef Vince’s vision and an unwavering commitment to culinary excellence, Chef Raul carries the torch—bringing the same passion, precision, and attention to detail that have defined La Spiga from the beginning.
