“The whole atmosphere of the place makes it seem like a close-knit family, and it's just an overall great experience to dine there.”
“the desserts are good and the espresso is the way it should be, which is unusual in a city where they can't seem to make the espresso properly.”
“Their pasta is consistently good and they have a wine list to satisfy even the pickiest connoisseurs palate.”
“Below average food from the tasteless bread to the average salad and average pasta.”
“authentic European village' where the food and wine selections are pleasing and tasteful and the atmosphere is eclectic, lively, and warm.”
“Could be a really nice restaurant if they sent the staff to charm school.”
“Having said all that about the service, the food was quite good especially for the modest prices.”
“We would have liked to share a third entree, but then dinner would have been much too expensive, and probably better spent on a cab ride to a better restaurant.”
“Craziest of all, they felt compelled to tell us that if we wished to order the chocolate souffle, it would take 8 minutes (as though that were long).”View Less
Great ambience and even better food!. My friends and I were looking for a new brunch spot to round out the weekend. Loved it. There was a live band, unlimited bellini's, yummy healthy portions of food, quick service and good fun - all for under $20. We stayed for the whole brunch span loading up on bellini's and chatting away with our neighboring tables. Everyone seemed to know each other and that gave it a good feel. I've been there twice since then and plan to go again this weekend. See you there!…
Best Grilled Calamari Salad in NYC!!. I really could have their Grilled Calamari Salad every day and never be tired of it! It is excellent!!!
Superbly satisfying. I've been going to Scopello for years. It's a cool spot. The food is always good and the ambiance easygoing and welcoming. Great place to unwind after work and catch up with friends.
A Treasure. I was at Scopello a few days ago for a dinner party and what a gorgeous place! The food was spectacular! We had grilled calamari, octopus with vegetables, and some short fresh pasta with mushrooms and sausage that was truly divine! The ravioli was some of the best I have ever tasted and after trying the organic lamb and the fish that were served, I knew I had found a new favorite. You are a treasure! I will be back.…
Nothing exceptional if you are used to eating proper fresh Italian cousine. I wanted to experience this restaurant because of the positive reviews I saw on the internet, however, I was quite disappointed after eating there. For starters many dishes are not authentic Sicilian (as I am from Palermo) many of them come with the italian name and with a mixture of Italian ingridients, however, added by the owner's own imaginative touches which some may argue are bizarre. The basic bread is tasteless and the olive oil used of cheap quality. Again, if you think this is proper Sicilian cousine then you have all a lot too learn...I did not get a feeling of experiencing Scopello as the music theme was ''loungy'' and wanna-be trendy so it absorbed some of the decor more ''paesano'' feel...For all of you out there, here this is NYC you can do much better!…
