There is nothing complicated about food, and nobody understood this better than the Italians. They knew that a delicious meal did not require elaborate preparation - just proper ingredients, and the passion and patience to let them work their magic. At The Little Sparo, we apply these principles in all we do. From our fresh baked naturally-leavened bread and pizza to our homemade extruded pasta, every item is prepared with gentle, attentive care. Come enjoy the comfort of Italian cuisine, in our newly renovated, open-concept restaurant with breathtaking views of the St.john's harbor that carries right through to the narrows. Book a table in our elegant dining room or come relax by the fireplace in our cozy, inviting lounge. Our kind and knowledgable staff are here to welcome you with the warm and friendly hospitality that Newfoundlanders are known for. Come join us for dinner!

    Genuinely the best meal, best restaurant and best service I have ever received from an establishment. Myself and my partner went for our anniversary, our server Fabio went above and beyond to make the evening a special one! The garlic cheese bread and carbonara was next level delicious. The best dining experience in St. John’s by a landslide, maybe even in the province!

    The food was delicious and server was extremely attentive. Before we could even realize our water glasses were getting empty he would be over pouring more water. Fabulous spot.

    We had a wonderful evening here last night. The food was delicious, the ambiance was calming and fun but the best part was the amazing service by Valerii. He was engaging and efficient, he was clearing and serving and we hardly noticed he was there as we enjoyed our friends. It was the best service we have all had in a long time so much so that each couple commented on it individually afterward. He deserves an extra Thank-you!
