After seeing all of the outstanding reviews and praise online, I was really looking forward to…read morefinally trying this restaurant. Unfortunately, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. Perhaps my expectations were simply too high, but the overall experience didn't quite live up to the hype for me. One of the restaurant's biggest advantages is its location. Although it's situated in a quieter part of Little Italy, there's plenty of street parking, and the restaurant also has its own parking lot--a huge plus in the neighborhood. Upon entering, you're greeted with the ambiance of an upscale Italian restaurant. The dining room is elegant and inviting, and our server, *Maci*, was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the evening. The meal began with a complimentary basket of baguette-style bread served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar--a nice start but the bread itself was averate For appetizers, my wife and I shared the Baby Arugula Salad, which was average, and the Eggplant Parmesan, which was probably the standout dish of the evening. Our daughter ordered the Caprese Salad, which she enjoyed overall, although we all felt it was a bit too salty. For our entrées, my wife and I shared the Halibut. While it was prepared well, we both agreed it had a stronger "fishy" flavor than we expected. The accompanying baby potatoes, however, were excellent. Our daughter ordered the Ricotta and Black Truffle Stuffed Pasta. She enjoyed it, but found it to be richer and heavier than anticipated--she was expecting a lighter pasta dish. Dessert, unfortunately, was the biggest disappointment of the evening. We decided to try what appeared to be the restaurant's three signature desserts: Tiramisu - As soon as it arrived, our daughter commented that it looked unusually light in color, and she was right. It tasted much more like vanilla than coffee, lacking the bold espresso flavor we typically expect from a tiramisu. Cappuccino Chocolate Mousse - This was overwhelmingly sweet. I could only manage a couple of bites before it became too much. Hazelnut Bomb (the daily dessert special) - Despite its name, we couldn't detect much hazelnut flavor at all. It tasted more like a rich chocolate dessert than anything distinctly hazelnut. Before ordering, we asked if the kitchen could prepare smaller tasting portions so the three of us could sample all three desserts without wasting food. The request was declined. I completely understand why the restaurant may not accommodate special requests like that, but I do wish they offered a dessert tasting option. As it turned out, we ended up leaving more than half of each dessert untouched. Given its location in the heart of Little Italy, I can certainly understand why this restaurant has earned such a strong reputation. The atmosphere, service, and presentation are all very good. However, for us, the food simply didn't match the expectations created by its stellar reviews. Overall, it was a pleasant evening, but not one that would make us eager to return when there are so many outstanding Italian restaurants in the area.

I don't get out there as often as I'd like, but I can tell you that not ONCE have I ever been disappointed. It's one of my favorite meals and although I've tried a *few* other things, I always go back to the Mediterranean Pizza and House Salad. Today Mom and I stopped in and I was pleasantly surprised to see a lunch special- $14.75 for ANY small pizza and a side salad! I upgraded to the House salad for $2 more. This was a savings of over $8 and was a great value. The small pizza is 6 slices and I wild guess about 10"? It was plenty of food and of course it was absolutely delicious. What a treasure. I'm always happy to spend my money at a local spot!

The star was the pasta as the pasta here is definitely the best section of the menu. The other food is average or even mediocre compared to how fresh and uniquely flavorful their pasta is. The campanelle was stuffed with capers, salmon, and herbs. Great mixins. Rich sauce , soft super fresh noodles.

My parents drove 2 hours this weekend to visit, and talked about how amazing the meal & our server, Jeremiah was the entire way home. The staff is very attentive, and knowledgable, and truly made us feel comfortable. Our server shared information about how ingredients were locally sourced, and answered all of our questions. When we dined, we ordered from the new spring menu. We got the charred broccoli, which was so unique and refreshing. It had a sweet note to it, which was wonderful. The house meatballs were full of herbs, and were paired with a flavorful red sauce. We also got the mussels, which were awesome! I also enjoyed their cherry bee cocktail, which is gin based, and it was tart, just the way I like them! My favorite dish there is the gnocchi, it is rich and the balsamic notes with the pears are just amazing. I got it on Valentine's day and thought about it ever since! The dessert, tiramisu was a nice way to finish the meal off. As someone who recently moved to the Cleveland area, I know there are a lot of good spots to try, but Scorpacciata truly is the place to be! The environment is so inviting, and the vibe makes me want to share this gem with everyone I know. Thank you, Scorpacciata, for an amazing meal every time.
