| - My experience here was off to a rocky start. They couldn't find my reservation so my experience started off like this:
Hostess: I can't find your reservation, is it under another name?
Me: Nope
Hostess: Are you sure you made it for the right location
Me: (Checks phone log)....yup
Hostess: Ok, well I can't find it
Me: So, do you have space for my party
Hostess: Not really
Me: Ok, so should I leave or....
Luckily a manager stepped in and got us a table.
That aside, Scaddabush belongs to the SIR Corp family of restaurants (Jack Astors, Alice Fazzoli's, etc.). Given this, I didn't expect much from the meal - can you blame me for questioning if the guys behind Jack Astors can deliver quality Italian food? But I have to admit, my expectations were exceeded.
The fresh mozzarella was heavenly. The meatball was delicious and tender, however, I'd pass on it next time since I can't justify spending $13 on just one (big) meatball. The penne bolognese, while not authentic, is savoury and flavourful.
The presentation of their desserts, however, could use some work. Wasn't a big fan of the panettone bread pudding, but their tiramisu was decent.
