We let the chef decide what we were having, which was a bit more adventurous than I usually am. We were not disappointed. The food was really, really amazing. I'm not sure I've ever had a pork dish that I enjoyed as much as the one we had. The pasta was great. The salad contents were a little weird, but whatever. When your only complaint was the salad, you're doing OK. The restaurant was beautiful, and the staff was great. Everyone was very nice, but our waitress was particularly pleasant and seemed intent on helping us have a fun experience. Mama herself came to our table and quickly realized that we were amused by her wisecracks, so she kept coming back. She was cranky in a very fun way, if you can imagine. Dinner was a lot more expensive than I expected, but I am definitely glad we tried the place with our friends. We will be talking about that dinner for a long time. Probably a one-time visit, but if you want to have a special evening, this is a great choice.

Humboldt bruleed cheese came with peppered arugula and crackers and fig jam and wasn't bad. The mortadella pizza was dry. The crust was not good. Too chewy. It could have benefitted from some hot honey on top to make it pop. Not bad overall but nothing I'd bring anyone to try. 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.

I cannot say enough good things about Scorpacciata…read more I first visited on Valentine's day, and had such a wonderful dinner I knew I had to bring my parents. 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.

While an up charge to get there, that was some quality Mac and cheese. Sauce has to be house made. I had a half order of chicken parm.

Getting a reservation was easy and convenient. I don't know why but the menu has just never excited me. It is a reasonably varied menu with a decent selection, but it's just lacking any creativity. Our server, Maia, was a very pleasant young woman who did an excellent job all evening. She was very effective and efficient. The wine list did include a good selection of excellent Italian wines by the glass. I enjoyed a very nice Amarone. I started with the "Fried Olives" which were tasty but just looked like a plate of marbles. My brother ordered the "Eggplant Meatballs" which I must say were excellent. They were tender and flavorful served in a marvelous marinara sauce... I might go so far as to say they were the highlight of the meal. I ordered the "Lamb Rigatoni" as my entree. It was good, with plenty of tender shredded lamb, but I couldn't help but wish it was covered by the marinara that was on the meatballs. My wife had the "Grilled Bronzini" which she said was very good. But somehow I was reading on her face, "it was just fish". We finished with a good cup of coffee and a scoop of very good ice cream. I can't really point to any specific disappointment. I was just underwhelmed. I wasn't motivated enough to take any pictures... sorry. I think you should give them a try and voice your opinion.

The margherita pizza was balanced and clean, though a bit less strong in flavor compared to the other pizzas on the table. The funghi pizza was earthy and satisfying, though it benefited most when eaten fresh, before the flavors dulled slightly as it cooled. The spinach and artichoke pizza stood out with excellent balance, richness, and texture. Easily one of the better items of the night. The crispy Brussels sprouts were a highlight, well executed with strong flavor and proper crispness. The crispy potatoes were good but secondary.

To say the service was slow is an understatement. When myself land one other person arrived the…read moreplace was practically empty. We ordered a salad and a chicken park sandwich. It took 31 minutes to arrive and people who sat down many minutes after us were served before us. I even had to go-to another table to get silverware because the table we were at didn't have any and the waiter didn't bring any. The original location has much better service and I personally thinks the pizza at the original location tastes better. Since other tables, who had other waiters, got there food far before us despite sitting around 15 minutes after us and having more people at the table maybe our experience would have been different with a different waiter.

I have driven by "Geraci's Restaurant" in Pepper Pike many times. It is in a very nice area along…read moreChagrin Blvd; and many times I have thought we should stop in to see what it was like. The restaurant is in the bottom floor of an attractive office building and has a very nice red brick enclosed patio out front. In the evening, when it is all lit up, it looks very cozy. We made our reservations, which required a call rather than online. They were very accommodating. The establishment is a bit of a fooler when you first arrive. It is actually much larger inside than it appears from the outside. There is a lot of square footages that is split up into several separate rooms and distinct areas giving it a more comfortable and warmer feeling than that much space would typically afford. We were seated quickly in a space that was open and bright and very comfortable. A very pleasant young lady by the name of Celine introduced herself as our server for the evening and quickly took our drink order. The wine list was not extensive but it had a satisfactory selection of good wines (Italian) by the glass. Which I always appreciate as our party typically only drinks one or two glasses and a bottle would go to waste. I enjoyed an excellent "Montepulciano D'Abruzzo". When Celine returned with our beverages she answered all the questions we had and we proceeded to place our order. I noted right away "Geraci's" does something with their salad offerings that very few establishments do. They offer all their salads in two sizes. I often want a salad to start my meal but the typical salad in most restaurants is MUCH too big. I just don't want that much lettuce. "Geraci's" offers all their salad options in a small size to solve that problem. I really appreciated that thoughtfulness. So, we all started out with a small salad that was crisp and fresh. Nothing that had been sitting around getting wilted... Good start. We also ordered the "Breaded Artichoke Hearts" from the appetizer menu for the table (one order was plenty for the 4 of us). The artichokes were very good. Lightly breaded and NO TOUGH LEAVES. There are few things more disgusting than bighting into an artichoke heart and hitting an unchewable leaf... aaaugh! These were very nicely done. All tender and flavorful... nothing fancy, just a pleasant start. My wife followed this with "Chicken Piccata" and I chose the "Chicken Marsala". Our guests ordered the "Veal Cutlet" and a personal sized "Sicilian Pizza". Our chicken dishes were good. The meat was tender and nicely cooked. The sauces were pleasant. There was nothing exceptional about either one. They were typical "American/Italian" cuisine. However, the "Veal Cutlet" was a bit disappointing. The meat was tender enough. But the breading was dry and flavorless. The "Sicilian Pizza" was ok... just ok. The crust was palatable. The sauce was somewhat flavorless. The Romano cheese had no flavor at all (typical American Romano)... they should have gone with the good stuff. We followed the evening with an excellent cup of coffee and three different desserts. I had the "Cannoli Trio" which were nice and crispy with good flavor. My wife had the "Spumoni Bomba" which she was very happy with. Our guests shared the "Limoncello Tartufo" that was excellent. So, is the 4 star rating too much? Probably, but I feel like a 3 is too little. If a 3-1/2 was an option that would be more accurate. All in all, it was a good evening. The atmosphere was nice. The service was excellent. The food was mostly good, but not entirely. So would I go there again... yes, maybe, in a pinch. Would I call it fine dining... absolutely not. I think maybe you should give it a try and see for yourself. It's worth a try and another opinion.
