We wanted to go here since it’s Antonia’s restaurant!! Absolutely fantastic food!! Great service!! We were not disappointed in any way!! Best scallops I’ve had in sometime & the Trecce pasta was fantastic!!! Recommended if you want great pasta!!!
Outstanding, pricey but worth it. Best porkchop ever. 57.00 and worth every bite.
Last night we went to Scopa for a baby announcement dinner. And overall it was excellent! I accidentally made reservations for two instead of four and they accommodated us no problem even though they were fully booked. I would actually give them 4.5 stars but you can’t do half star ratings. We had appetizers of squash blossoms, stuffed mushrooms, and beefsteak tomatoes and they were all absolutely amazing. However the tomatoes were not what I expected and more just like regular tomatoes. The pasta dishes we had were lasagna, rigatoni with vodka sauce, corn ravioli and spaghetti with clams. All of them were delicious and flavorful however my rigatoni could’ve been a little bit warmer. For dessert we had the donuts, which were amazing but actually were donut holes instead of donuts, Affogato and Napoleon. Most of our party wanted the cheesecake for dessert and they were out of it. Apparently the cheesecake is a big sensation and so running out was kind of a bummer. Overall this is an excellent restaurant. We sat out on the patio which is spacious and open and not on top of each other because of the surge in Covid we appreciated that. Inside the restaurant it’s a warm and roomie with tall open space that is very inviting. There is no sign on the outside though so you have to use GPS in order to find it.
We enjoyed the family style. Our waitress was very knowledgeable on portion sizes, we had enough food for four of us and got to try a variety of dishes. Recommend the meatballs, Arancini and the rabbit ragu.
Overall delicious, but I would pass on desserts and drinks. Dim lighting and fun music. Parking is tough, $11 valet is availableAPPETIZERS5/5 Crispy Squash Blossoms - surprisingly unexpected spicy marinara, favorite5/5 Calamari - cooked great, taste like regular calamari, squid ink only added color, no dipping sauces5/5 Rice Ball - very crunchy, was deliciousSIDES5/5 Asparagus - I'm not a fan of this vegetable, but it was drenched in garlic and was delicious5/5 Polenta - super creamyMAIN COURSE5/5 Lasagna - great balance of pasta, meat, sauce, and cheese. Only criticism is that it was on the saltier side4/5 RigatoniDESSERT - presentation for both were fun; however, taste was not there2/5 Italian Cookies - The 3 rainbow cookies were so disappointing and extremely dry (sadly, you are better off with grocery store rainbow cookies). 3 Biscotti's tasted stale. The best was the 2 pignoli nut, which was moist, followed by 1 wedding cookie1/5 Zeppole - overcookedDRINKS - If you are the designated driver at your table, you qualify for a free soda/coffee4/5 West Side Cocktail - messy drink overflowed onto the table4/5 East India Cocktail5/5 Restroom - 2 stalls, clean, stocked, and smelled goodIf you are the designated driver, ask the server to learn more about a free soft drink/coffee
Recommend the Brussels sprouts salad, Rigatoni, Chitarra, Branzino and baby broccoli
Come here for some quality Italian food...just don't come expecting to eat like you're at your nonna's house. The plates can be small, and a bit on the pricey side but not too crazy. The crispy squash flowers were delicious, as was the clam linguini. I wouldn't order the chocolate panna cotta again though...kinda just tasted like jello chocolate pudding with hot chocolate powder on top. Also the service was ok, but not great. The staff seemed to want to rush you out of there, but I chalk that up to being busy with staff shortages as a lot of places have been struggling that with lately.
Came here as a family of three for Valentines Dinner. Had a reservation for 6pm on the patio. Great ambiance with heaters in a high ceiling tent. You can hear the traffic on Washington Blvd but it’s not too distracting.Service was great from start to finish as expected for a high end place. Very friendly but not stuffy. Our waitress made great suggestions. We told her we wanted to eat family style and share.Started with a Negroni Bianco, Martini and a lemonade.Shared three appetizers that were all outstanding:Amberjack crudo ($17)Burrata and beets ($19)Rice ball ($20)Then split two pastas:Lasagna ($27)Pappardelle ($27)Main was the 24 oz. T-Bone at $70 was a splurge but incredible.Added in a great Sardinian wine and the desserts of gelato, panna cotta and zeppolle.Expensive coming in at just over $300 before tax and tip but worth it for the great experience, service and food.Valet parking is a must die to lack of street parking for $11 before tip.
