Scoogi's Classic Italian

"Scoogi's mission is to bring a bit of our family's Italian culture to you, so that you can celebrate each meal as we do. In our family, dinnertime was the centerpiece of our lives. Today, mealtime remains very special. The goal of this restaurant is to make mealtime special for you and your family. I want to recreate the feeling I love. That's my dream." -Robert Angelo Rosato

"We went to Scoogie's for Mother's day with 3 generations. There was something for everyone, even fussy kids.The meals were all tasty and the huge portions provided us with leftovers to take home. Everyone left happy and satisfied."

"Food was fine. Service was very poor. We were handed off to another server after about 10 minutes, then didn't see our new server for another 15 minutes. We had been here before and were pleased, but this time, the service really impacted our enjoyment of our meal."

"Scoogi's could benefit from a facelift. The carpet is in need of a change as well as the building. The food was fantastic and the service was very good. Very nice place to go for a good Italian dinner."

"I did not enjoy my meal
Had baked manicotti and wasn't even warm, nor was the cheese melted. Yuk!
My companion had chicken Marsala and she said it was okay. . Not great, but okay.
Plus side... Waitress was great, bread really yummy, desserts good . Would not go back."

"A wonderful evening in a very popular, busy restaurant. Food, service, ambience all were outstanding. All good.
OpenTable reservations put us right on time at a table. Busy as it was, food and service were done well.

"We have been customers for MANY years. Lately we have experienced a decline in the quality and preparation of the food. However, I urged my husband to go, yet another time, in the hopes that a couple of times only meant a slip-up. Our most recent visit was utterly horrible. We had a guest with us - embarassed us! Even though we had reservations we had to wait an hour to be seated. The hostess/manager finally sat us in a screened off section of the back room/private party area which was very noisy. My husband's dinner did not come out because it was burned and when it did arrive, I and our guest were almost finished and his was dried out. We may never go back!"
