good food and service – i live in fort greene and i regularly dine at scopello. i love the food and the people are nice. they know about food and wine. its a nice authentic relaxed place. the presentation of the food is always great and the prices are fair. the menu changes seasonally so i never get bored of the food, even after 5 years that i have been dining there. i disagree with citrus-y criticism. i really love scopello.

One of the best Italians anywhere – I've been coming to Scopello for about two years. The food is always the best quality and their eggplant rolls and their filet mignon carpaccio are among my favorite antipasti in the whole of New York. Their pasta is consistently good and they have a wine list to satisfy even the pickiest connoisseurs palate. Another good thing is they give you a meal for your money. I'm a big guy so I like my plate full and at Scopello that is what you get. The hype about the celebrities is true too. I wa... read more

Best Mother's Day dinner yet – My daughter and son-in-law took me for Mother's day. I do low carbs so no pasta but my meal turned out to be delicious anyway. My main course was marinated steak and steamed greens and it was excellent. The chicken my daughter ordered was also very good. Our server was nice and the restaurant was stylish and welcoming. I'll definitely be back.

Really mediocre italian. – Below average food from the tasteless bread to the average salad and average pasta. There must be a thousand italian restaurants better than this one.

beautiful restaurant, great fresh pastas, people watching – 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... read more

Delicious, fresh food, inviting spot – delicious and inviting. food is always fresh and spices blend well in the pasta and fish dishes i usually order. good selection of regional wines too, and none too pricey. staff knows their food and everyone is pleasant, even funny. always fairly crowded when i've been. beautiful, easygoing spot. Recommended!

Truly an Italian food experience – Overall, I found this delightful restaurant to be the perfect place for a romantic prelude, dinner after watching a movie at BAM, or causal meal and drinks with friends. One might describe the style of service as ?authentic European village' where the food and wine selections are pleasing and tasteful and the atmosphere is eclectic, lively, and warm.

ehhhh – After reading some of the positive reviews I'm wondering if I went to the same resturant as some of these other posters? Have lived a block away for several years and decided to give scopello a try based on the positive reviews. I definately had a completely opposite experience then some of the other posters. There were probably, five other tables that nite and the service was still really bad. We waited quite a long time for every part of the meal, from placing our drink orders, to getting bread to getting our plate... read more

Good food, horrendous service – My husband and I went to Scopello for the first time tonight with another couple to celebrate their engagement. The service was a disaster from beginning to end. First, they refused to give us a table against the wall even though many were available "in case they got a large party and had to push the tables together". When we asked to discuss it with the owner, they relented. We then spent the whole evening flagging people down for basic items, i.e., water, pepper, wine. Craziest of all, they ... read more
