| - Overall had a very good first visit to Scopa! We came here to celebrate my dad's birthday on a Friday night and the place was packed. Didn't know they had a very roomy outdoor patio out front and I was sad that it wasn't warm enough to sit out there, but if I had known that patio existed I would have frequented it throughout the summer. First off, their complimentary focaccia bread to start your meal is to die for!!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. For appies we tried the arancini and a couple of their different bruschetta options, the mushroom one being my favorite. For pastas we had the tagliatelle polpette, spaghetti alla carbonara and linguine con le vongole, the highlight being the carbonara. We also ordered the NY striploin to share between the 4 of us. The steak was probably my least favorite item we ordered, I've definitely had better steak elsewhere. The service was great, and I wish I could give a half star just to our waitress for putting up with my dad's lame jokes (LOL). When they heard it was his birthday, at the end of the meal they gave him a card signed by everyone which also included a 10% voucher for any one of their restaurants (which include Cibo, Bonterra, Posto, Parc Brasserie) so that was a nice touch. I would definitely come back to try some of their pizzas, and of course, more pasta! Don't know why people keep going to The Olive Garden when places like this exist =)
