Scardino's Italian Restaurant

I would NOT come back for the pizza. $20 including tax is way overpriced and the taste was not good. I've had better frozen pizza. I love cold pizza and by far ths is the worst when eaten cold. The crust and cheese dries up beyond normal limits and becomes very brittle. Never experienced this before. Disappointing based on the reviews.

The calamari is amazing. It's not fried, but in a wonderful tomato sauce that makes you want to lick the bowl!

The freshest, flavorful bread we couldn't stop eating. The food menu threw us for a loop. We normally pick the same things when we eat Italian but this time we studied the menu a good 20 minutes. We decided on the Insalata Caprese for our appetizer. The flavors popped with freshness. Next came our main dishes. I chose the Spinish Ravioli, and my boyfriend chose Fettuccine with sausages. We couldn't stop saying how delicious the meal was, as we took each bite! Now for our waiter, Al. He was attentive with just enough time to enjoy each course, and he really cared that we were satisfied. He spoke to us like we were family, so I thought he was the
