After glowing recommendations from friends, I finally had the opportunity to check out Scopa.
Surprisingly on a gorgeous Friday evening, the patio was relatively empty. It was a perfect setting for a dinner all'aperto with candle light, lanterns and heater lamps once the night began to cool off.
Although I wanted the creamy gnocchi, seafood risotto and the carbonara, ultimately (and realistically) I knew I had to choose. I went with my first love of bacon, which the carbonara had a wild boar version of.
No regrets on my choice, the creaminess of the egg mixed with bacon, chillies, white wine and grana padano made the dish rich and delectable.
Considering I already made a mental list of things I still need to try at Scopa, there's no doubt I'll be back again to check off (and probably add!) items on my list!
