I have to agree with the best that I?ve heard and read about Scopello. My friends and I have been eating here for the past 3 years and have always enjoyed it. I like the way the menu changes seasonally, keeping it fresh and surprising. The homemade pastas are the best! The black ravioli with crabmeat is so deliciously decadent and the eggplant ravioli or butternut squash ravioli suit my veggie cravings just fine. You can really taste the Sicilian olives in the extra virgin olive oil they serve with the warm homemade bread that greets you at your table. I even like to watch the crowd change, from the really busy nights when you could rub elbows with someone like Cate Blanchett at the bar as Rosie O?Donnell and her galpals are saying good night in the dining room, to the warm slower nights when you don?t have to wait for a table and can kick back with your drink and your friends. It?s all good at Scopello. Highly recommended.
Pros: real and fresh Italian food, real Italian owner, friendly staff
Cons: parking not easy
