Scopa Italian Roots

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 due to lack of street parking for $11 before tip.
