| - $5 craft cocktail Wednesdays!!!! It's outed. And it's all day long. And they're not shitty cocktails! No siree! When I first saw the sign, I thought I'd be in for a load of hiballs. It ain't so. Carefully crafted cocktails with premium, fresh ingredients. Say it is so!
My last 3 out of 4 Wednesdays have been spent at Scopa with Bartender Tyler making me and my friends delicious creations from behind the bar. My favourite from the signature cocktail menu has got to be the Nouvo, Bulleit Bouron, Peperoncino Liquer, ginger and orange. (Fun fact: liquer isn't a misspelling. It's actually a word for any strongly flavoured alcoholic beverage typically served in small quantities after dinner... or in my case, for my liquid dinner). The Pera e Cannella runs a close second (Pear Vodka, Galliano, cinnamon, grape and mint).
Come in with your friends and grab a table, or become my friend and join me at the bar where we'll enjoy this ridiculous special until Scopa's had enough of us and bumps them back to full price on Wednesdays (then we'll have to switch to 1/2 price bottle wines on Tuesdays, $5 mimosa and Caesar Sundays, $5 Big Rock Mondays or just be a regular Joe for happy hour the rest of the time). In the meantime, though, we can use all that extra money to eat the lovely food coming out of Chef Sheldon's kitchen... believe you me, you're going to need it. I can't help but want to have the entire pizza to myself here, though to date my friends and I have shared the margherita and the funghi pizzas. The linguini pasta is also quite delightful-an extra 5 stars for not over cooking the noodles. Come make an al dente in your appetite for dinner.
Other notable favourites: the Arancini (saffron risotto cakes, grana padano, tomato) and the calamari.
You can thank me on Wednesday. See you there!
