| - I went to Scopa for the second time last night and it is amazing. The first time I went I was kind of surprised by the atmosphere. I'm not sure what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised by the rustic and homey feel inside.
The first time I had the ceci bruschetta and I had again the second time because it is so tasty. The entrees were the cannelloni and the tagliatelle, both are delicious. I loved the cannelloni, it has amazing flavours and was just an excellent pasta dish. The tagliatelle had a bit of a kick to it, some pepper, not sure which, gave it some heat which was very nice.
My mom had the lasagna at first last night but it was unfortunately overly salted, but I'm still giving them a five star rating so you can tell that was not a big deal, a little disappointing sure, but not a damper on the evening. She switched over to the butternut squash risotto, which we had tried the first time, and it is so good.
Our guest for the evening had the maiale with gnocci, carrot and hazelnut, minus the hazelnut due to an allergy. She loved it, said the meat was cooked perfectly and the flavours were amazing. She would have liked more gnocci though.
For dessert we had tiramisu and the torta cioccolota.....yummmmm. I love the torta, it is not too sweet or too chocolatey, it is light and delicious and the raspberry on top with pistachio and walnut is the perfect touch.
I can't wait for the patio to open and enjoy the meal outside.
