I had a really great experience here. The food was really good and so was the service. We got the baby beet salad which was amazing. The rigatoni was so my favorite pasta on the menu with such great flavor and great sauce. I would also recommend the squash blossoms and ricotta!
LOVE this place! It’s our “we-want-good-food-and-cocktails-without-having-to-search” spot ;) We go often, bar sit most of the time. Love the bar decor, staff is super friendly. Food is really to die for. We’ve had everything on the menu and nothing disappoints! Go, enjoy, you’ll definitely go back :D
The bread!!!! Can we have a moment for the garlic rub ciabatta bread!!! Every single dish we ordered was absolutely incredible. The rigatoni was to die for the mushrooms, the brussels sprouts salad, I mean every single dish did not disappoint. I would come back over and over again.
Now we’re gonna need Chef to open a location in Orange County! Shout out Kanaka!!’ Thank you!
We were a bit disappointed with the food overall. The Brussels sprouts salad felt more like a cheese dish than a salad, as the amount of cheese in the dish doubled the Brussels sprouts, overpowering the greens. The clam linguine was heavy, with a lot of butter and salt. The broccolini had an overwhelming amount of lemon juice, making it very sour, and the crudo’s seasoning felt slightly off — the herb on top added a bitterness that didn’t quite work for us.
The squash blossoms were the highlight, crispy, light, and really enjoyable. Service was warm and attentive throughout, which we appreciated.
Had a fantastic dinner at Scopa The food was excellent, and the atmosphere had that wonderful feeling of comfortable, lively, and inviting. Grilled octopus was delicious and beautifully prepared. Had two pasta dishes that were different but delicious in their own ways. The service was warm and attentive (our water glasses were constantly refilled). They even provided a desert gratis for our anniversary celebration. Our second time here and definitely a place we’ll be returning and one I’d happily recommend
