Scopa Italian Roots

Beautiful inside, with nice ambiance.

Hostess wasn’t the most friendly. The restaurant was practically empty when I arrived and asked for a table for one. She made me promise I’d be done before 7 so they could give my table to someone else. Strange.

I got the macaroni with meat sauce, which was very delicious. My server was very friendly, attentive, and courteous.

One weird thing is it was hard to know where the entrance was to the restaurant because I couldn’t find a sign or name on the building.

Overall, I’d go back again since the food was really good.

Huge bar with a massive spirits menu. Prices on spirits can be unusually expensive. Appetizers are solid - squid ink calamari, squash blossoms. Pastas are good and made in house. A little too salty. Atmosphere is casual sophisticated with a hint of chain restaurant.

Had a really excellent meal at this Top Chef owned restaurant. Great food. Warm ambience, good acoustics. Great waitstaff. Calamari with squid ink-stained tempura was delicious, and the size of pasta dishes perfect. A nice spot to try in Venice!

The ambiance is amazing. The pricing is in line for what you would expect with any of the restaurants owned by a celebrity chef. The food was really good, but was heavily seafood centric, so be aware. It is also on the spicier side, but can be toned down. Our server, Richard was awesome and very engaging the entire evening.

One of my favorite spots for delicious Italian food. Entered near ten, it was not crowded. Service is consistently good. This place has a cool atmosphere. Menu is like a place in San Francisco I loved.
