 eXile - Issue #191 - Restaurant Review - Spago Cafes Soggy Midgets - By Peter Arenseberg
SPAGO CAFE, a recently opened ap-pendage of haughty Italian eatery Spago, represents a tendency to be deplored: appealing to the vast demographic pustule known as the "middle class." Such condescension is inevitably disastrous, particularly so in this case.
Some kindly soul with plenty of free time and a high tolerance for idiocy should take Spago's chef aside and explain to him that "pizza" does not include a pastry crust on top of the garnishes.
Spago's Cafe does feature that saving grace of bad eateries everywhere: a formidable array of liquors behind the bar.

 L.A. Ritz: Belated Spago Report
From the goat cheese pizza to the palpable buzz and presence of Kirk Douglas and Arnold, my first Spago experience from the late 80s remains burned in my brain.
Décor at Spago's latest incarnation matches the Sunset location's giddy energy -- tacky all the way -- with garish light fixtures, installation um, art, and more geometric abstractions than on view at any modern museum.
Interesting how this style has been an essential part of Puck’s high- to low-end empire, and it goes to show that despite the widespread appeal of pared-down contemporary design ethos -- whether it be DWR or Ikea -- gaudiness still maintains its sway.

This is the guy who single-handedly started the '80s menu trend of having Asian-esque treats like Roasted Cantonese duck with bing cherries and mint ($26) on the same menu with goat cheese pizzas ($14.50) and Caesar salads ($9.50).

 Spago Beverly Hills Restaurant Beverly Hills CA Review Gayot
Based upon multiple experiences, the tasting menu is the royal way to go if you want to fully explore the potential of Spago, especially if Puck is in action and displays all his art, although we acknowledge the talent of Hefter.
As appetizers, we liked the smoked salmon on lemon-herb blinis, the Japanese hamachi sashimi and Hudson Valley foie gras done three ways, including one marrying this luxe indulgence with pan-roasted apples and currants in a mousse.
As one can imagine, with all these ingredients, this is the hottest ticket in town and the box office suggests making reservations one month in advance.
