Was Anonym at Scarsella's a mag?
I've been a customer for about a year now, and I finally tried Scarsella's last week. I absolutely loved it! The atmosphere, food, and staff were all fantastic. Our waitress was really nice and a bit nervous, which just made her even sweeter. The bread was fresh and abundant. I ordered the manicotti, and it was delicious! I plan to take my girlfriend there for Valentine's Day today. Thank you, Scarsella's! View all feedback.

What Jen Isler dislikes about Scarsella's:
The food was gross. I’m sorry. Got chicken parm that was nothing but thick breading. The sauce leaves a nasty taste you can’t get out of mouth. The crab cakes were all bread. . It’s ok if you like breading and tomato paste. The celing tiles are water damaged. The food was not worth the price. Only nice thing I can say was server was good although we waited in a dead restaurant for a long time. Very outdated View all feedback.

We discovered this restaurant while traveling, and it turned out to be the highlight of our evening. The atmosphere felt very familial, with different groups celebrating special events. Each group seemed to be having a great time and enjoying their meals. The staff was attentive yet unobtrusive, allowing us to enjoy our food and conversations. It's evident that this is an excellent venue for hosting events.

Delicious homemade Italian food! This cozy little restaurant offers a wide variety of choices for lunch and dinner in a peaceful atmosphere. Skip Olive Garden and give this family-owned gem a chance! Kid-friendly: There's a kids' menu with excellent options for toddlers who prefer softer foods.

I had an amazing experience enjoying homemade Italian food here, paired with incredibly friendly service. The vintage décor really brings back memories, making me feel like I’m in my grandmother's kitchen! ?
