All these "I am Italian" reviews..... I am Sicilian and was taught to cook by my Grandma and Mother. We all enjoy this place. True, they do overcook their pasta which is a sin in italian cooking. Their soup is by far the best you will find in town. Wonderful flavor, it is really a great soup and they give you a lot of it. The meatsauce is not like I am used to from home, but its good. My favorite things on the menu are the meat ravioli and the garlic chicken. Both very good meals. If you are lucky enough to get to eat here when they have their signature "Spumoni" ice cream, its worth the meal just for that one scoop! Its egg nog & brandy flavor. They dont always have it sadly. This is not gourmet italian, its a comfortable, friendly, neighborhood place to have a nice meal and not break the bank. As one person said, its not the olive garden, the food is far better than a chain eatery. Give it a try.

Needs to go bye-bye....bland and boring Italian food of yesteryear.

The taste wasn't terrible, but all of the pasta was overcooked... The spaghetti, ravioli, & shell pasta in the minetrone were all overcooked. The veal was overcooked & not exactly what i was expecting - still, it wasn't bad. (I tried the sauce, but ended up just eating the veal w/ lemon juice.) The veal wasn't the most tender either. The greenbeans that came w/ our dinner looked canned and way overcooked as well. The best things were the salad & the flavor of the minestrone.

The Minestrone soup is one of the best in town and is very consistent ALWAYS GOOD..not like some of the other Minestrone soups being served around town where they kinda miss some times (hate when that happens) Been coming to the Espanol for the past 10 years or so on and off and i like the consistency of the food... you can pick something off the menu that you favor and not be afraid to recommend it to a good friend down the road say a few years later..It will be the same...GOOD....Guess that's why they have been around for something like 80 years or so. The honest good food, old world charm, homey feeling and seasoned wait staff addressing regulars by first name sets this place apart from the other Italian restaurants in town...This is a place to let your hair down, bring the family or just some REAL good friends for some good home cookin' Italian Style.
