Food: Bursting flavors in tiny plates

Scopa Italian Roots absolutely aces the taste game, with the ricotta Crostini, raw Brussel sprouts, and crispy squash blossoms leaving your taste buds dancing. The artistry in the menu demonstrates the innovation at play, while fresh ingredients breathe life into traditional Italian cuisine. The kitchen's creativity and unmatched experience create a culinary whirlwind. However, it all comes in frustratingly small portions and with a check amount that makes your wallet wince.

  • Great Quality

    Sourced premium, fresh ingredients elevate classic dishes to new heights

  • Bad Variety

    Limited and repetitive menu options, lacking in variety and excitement.

Vibe: Perfect date night destination

The establishment has been lauded for its stylish, warm setting with picture-perfect lighting. Live entertainment adds a delightful touch, making this an ideal place for romantic evenings. The signature and expertly curated cocktails attract the chic crowd, adding to the overall liveliness and popularity. Each corner buzzes with high energy, making the ambiance wonderfully addictive.

  • Great Buzz

    Trendy, popular, and lively atmosphere with high energy and stylish crowd.

  • Okay to Entertain

    Music is good but not extraordinary; balances vibe without dominating.

Perks: Insufferable noise and service

While Scopa Italian Roots excels in catering to larger parties and providing dietary options, it falls remarkably short in managing noise levels. Eardrum shattering decibels drown out conversation and marr the dining experience. Even securing a reservation isn't smooth sailing with a perplexing system that sours the overall experience. Lack of a kids menu and uneven service suggests a clearly adult-focused experience. Despite the shortcomings, the generous outdoor seating is a perk worthy of mention.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large parties comfortably with great space and effective service.

  • Okay To Park

    Street parking available, but valet offers convenience for some diners.

  • Bad Service

    Inconsistent service with rude, unprofessional staff and unreasonably long waits.
