Delicious Italian – Scopello is a wonderful neighborhood favorite. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Most importantly, the food is great! They make delicious homemade pastas, fresh salads, seasonal specials, and a good Italian wine list. Definitely recommended.

I dine at Scopello pretty offen, the food is good, guys are nice and the atmosfere is relaxed. I like the warm colours, comfortable seats and the music. a good portion of home made delicious pasta cost $ 12.00 the caserecci is my favorite, get a nice glass of barbera with it and you are just fine.

where the stars are – If its good enough for Meryl Streep, its goodenough for me! My black ravioli was superb and my glass of white Colosi I had with it then 2 tables down I saw Ms. Streep eating with somebody. That was the topper! When the food is good and the waiters and bartenders are nice and you see someone so famous right near you it lets you know where you're eating is someplace special.

creative food, cool people – Cool spot...the food was pretty unusual for italian: sardines with pinenuts, but delicious. Modern but warm decor and equally good looking staff - the real Italian kind, black wavy hair, green eyes, blue eyes. Service was fair - could have been more attentive, but they were pretty crowded with people waiting, so that could be it. At least they were friendly, busy but with a smile and they didn't rush us from our table (I hate that!)...My friend and I shared a pasta that was melt in your mouth fre... read more

Not worth the trip... – Could be a really nice restaurant if they sent the staff to charm school. Why be in business with the public if you don't like people? As a former waitress, I go out of my way to be polite to staff and never ask for special requests. I was treated like a criminal for not having a reservation, was told to sit in the bar, even though the dining room was empty, and then told maybe they could seat me in the dining room - to which I replied that my party had to make a train, and therefore would not be ling... read more

Everything was great – My friend and I went since Scopella was highly recommended by her friends. Scopella was great. I had the mushroom ravioli...fabulous. Our host... an ubberly cute, salt and pepper hair, aqua-eyed Italian named Fabrizzio (I apologize it that is misspelled)...met us at the door upon arrival and walked us out at the end of the night. Fab knew exactly what we wanted before we even asked. He recommended the dark chocalate moouse for dessert--it was great--and brought the perfect nightcap at the end of the me... read more

good time! nice crowd! – Sunday May 29 - I was in Fort Greene for Dance Africa festival and i went to Scopello for a drink, attracted by the crowd that loocked like a group of friends, at the and of my first drink i was already part of it, with everybody talking with me like i was a regular. I also order a delicius tuna carpaccio. I only went for a drink but had such a good time, i ended up staying 4 hours!

Almost there but not quite – Waiting for the day that the Downtown BK/Fort Greene dining scene is as good as Smith Street's, I was hopeful upon walking into the welcoming, colorful dining room but I wondered why there were only 3 tables seated in the entire restaurant. By the end of dinner, I realized why. The food was very good for Brooklyn but by the end of a 3 course dinner, my boyfriend and I were both sort of hungry. We would have liked to share a third entree, but then dinner would have been much too expensive, and pro... read more
