Great experience overall at Scaddabush! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming -- perfect for a casual dinner out. The pizza was very good, with a nicely crisp crust and fresh toppings that tasted high quality. You can tell they put care into their ingredients and preparation. The avocado bruschetta was a pleasant surprise -- fresh, flavorful, and nicely balanced. The avocado was creamy, and the toppings complemented it well without overpowering the dish. Service was solid and the vibe was upbeat. A strong 4-star visit, and definitely a place I'd return to when in Ontario! read more

Always a solid spot for a gathering or casual meal. Pasta is always fresh and delicious and hasn't been disappointed. Service depends on how busy they are for the day but overall it's been fine. read more

Great portions with a good selection of pizza and fresh pasta. My favorite so far is the mushroom truffle malfade! First time trying fresh mozzarella, it was so good! My partner who isn't a fan of cheese actually enjoyed it as much as I did. The tomato jam paired well with the cheese as it was sweet and acidic. Like what others have said, the lightning is very dark and it can get pretty loud due to crowds but the food itself is super yummy. read more

If you have ever wondered, 'might I like (goat cheese or something else) if I tasted a good quality one?', then this is the place you should come to, to settle that. The best thing about this restaurant is they make everything from scratch, and it enhances the taste of whichever dish you try to a maximum. I got a taster of mozzarella with the samples of all of their 'Fresh Mozzarella' section (bomba, balsamic truffle, etc.). Those were incredible! The pizza was great too. The 3-Cheese Charity Bread is out of this world! And so is Tiramisu! I have never tasted a richer tiramisu paired with dark chocolate. I would go here again for a special occasion in a heartbeat. As for ambiance, it is grand, and old-worldly, and service staff is the best. Excellent experience overall. read more

If you are lucky enough to get Ola as your bartender/server, she is a ray of sunshine... She made a gloomy birthday extra special and she was absolutely a darling! Food was amazing. I always get the same thing... Polenta fries Ola recommended a really nice blood orange drink cocktail... Overall an amazing experience. read more

I love a good seafood pasta. I've been going to Scaddabush, Square One location for many years now, probably since it opened. The Caesar Salad is crisp and not overdressed. This is probably one of the few restaurants that still offer crispy bacon on top. I normally order the Shrimp Puttanesca which has a slightly spicy Arrabbiata tomato sauce. This time around, we visited on 'National Spaghetti Day" and received 50% off our spaghetti entrees as part of a restaurant promotion. My husband ordered the Spaghetti & Meatball. Portion size is just right and filling. We also like to order the Fresh Mozzarella with Prosciutto from time to time, but prices are getting steep so we order it only for special occasions. Some of the booths are a little tight and don't leave much space in front - we aren't big people. Overall, we receive excellent service. Atmosphere is great, and I'm glad they take reservations through their app as the place can get busy. read more

visiting the area with a friend and decided on scaddabush. ambiance was super nice, i loved the moody lighting and cute decorations, but the music included current radio hits, which didn't really match LOL. i ordered the zucca ravioli and i thoroughly enjoyed! the flavor was different from what i expected but was not disappointed at all. had nice flavors of the zucchini and squash, with small bits of carrots. it wasn't necessarily exceptional, but good nonetheless. i also got the basil mango drink and they were not light on the basil, definitely not for everyone but i liked it (unfortunately forgot to take a pic) our server, deep, was very sweet and constantly checked up on us, offering any extra refreshments and assistance. food came out in a timely manner as well, although my drink took a little longer read more

Not Italian at all. I ordered "spaghetti alla carbonara." It couldn't have been further from the real carbonara: - the pasta was spaghettini, and not spaghetti, - there was NO pancetta on the pasta. Only cheap bacon chips - the egg dropped on top of the pasta was not cooked (this is not a Thai salad!) - There was a generous drizzle of milk onto the sauce (there is NO milk in the carbonara) - I should have sent it back but was starving, so I ate it. - My wife ordered a pasta with ragu sauce. That, too, was subpar. The taste of the ragu was off. Almost as if the chef is Asian or something, and added some spices that do not belong there. Overall, very disappointing. Won't come back here. read more

Was at this restaurant a day ago. Big disappointment ... Food was good (but definitely not great) ... As to service my friend and I got handed off to another server no less than twice! (NOT acceptable) ... But the prices, OMG!! out of sight expensive, especially considering the level of restaurant this is ... Considering this used to be one of my go-to's, yesterday was my last visit ... Tonight I'm at a fine-dining place ... Food AND drinks don't even touch what I paid last night and both quality and service are immaculate! read more

The food was delish! I enjoyed the HUGE Tuscan chopped salad. Our waiter was fantastic.

My sister and I are both dairy free. We ordered rigatoni bolognese since the menu did not specify that there is cream in the sauce. I finished mine and she ate about half until she decided to call the restaurant and double check. As to why they wouldn't have listed cream as an ingredient is beyond me, and thanks to their stupidity, our stomachs will be the ones to deal with the consequences. Utterly ridiculous that they would not have listed cream as an ingredient, especially when it makes a huge difference for many people, even with light dairy intolerances. Would not recommend. read more

This review could be much longer than it is. Cutting to the chase, a former colleague, who became my friend, needed a reference. I wrote one and had a good feeling that she'd get the job. She did and we thought that we'd celebrate with a third friend. The original thought was for all of us to go shopping and then grab lunch. Our third friend LOVES to shop. Considering that I am saving up for an upcoming trip, I wished them fun shopping and we'd meet up for lunch. One good thing about being the person at work on the team who used to arrange outings and restaurant reservations, those who have befriended me have taken over those duties in real life. They found Scaddabush and asked if I'd be good with it. All three of us had never dined here. We all wanted to and said yes. We were to meet on a Saturday at 1:30 pm. We are all pretty good communicators. My friend with the new job said that this place doesn't do reservations for lunch on weekends. So, they would either get a table or I would, depending on who got there first. I got there at 1:20 pm and let them know that I'd head in to get us a table. There was lots of parking. They were just starting their walk across the parking lot to get here. There was a woman ahead of me in the line to get seated. I loved how cozy the interior looked. When it was my turn, I asked for a table for three. I was briefly interrupted by a person speaking into this woman's earpiece. After that discussion was over, she asked for my proof of vaccination and ID. She then asked whether I wanted to wait for my two friends in the waiting area or head over to the table. I looked back and my two friends were there. We said hi and I waved them over like they were VIPs. They showed their vaccination proof and ID, and we all got seated at a booth. For over two hours, we caught up on our lives and had a good time. We hadn't seen each other since Summer 2020. One still lives in Brantford. The other moved back to Oshawa, so meeting around Square One was perfect. We ended up with a trainee server with her regular mentor server. We started with drinks. I asked about sangria. This place has four different types. I knew that I'd love this place. I ordered a green sangria. My friends loved the sound of it that we got a pitcher. Our food tastes are similar. We started with bruschetta as our appetizer. We all got the mushroom truffle fettuccine. For dessert, two of us got the lemon sorbetto, and our friend with the new job got the vanilla maple gelato. We joked that we were horrified over the deviation, but it did sound yummy. The green sangria came out first. The new server poured some in our glasses, and we continued pouring until the pitcher was gone. Get this sangria! It's essentially white wine with blue Curacao, limoncello, passion fruit and apple juices, ginger ale, and fresh lemon juice. If you are in denial that it's autumn heading into winter, this sangria will give you summertime vibes. So refreshing! It was excellent. The bruschetta came out next. The presentation was lovely. Oddly, the tomatoes were sliced, which made eating each toasted bruschetta difficult. The slices kept falling off because they were large. They would have been better diced up. The chunks of roasted garlic on it were outstanding, so they made up for the large tomato slices. This appetizer was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again. Our mains came out next. If you are a mushroom freak like I am, you will love this dish. The mushrooms are roasted. It has caramelized onions, brown butter alfredo sauce, spinach, roasted garlic, chives, pecorino and parmesan cheeses, and truffle oil. It's heaven in a dish. You get a spoonful of parmesan that you can sprinkle all over your food. The fettuccine is made in-house. It was so fresh and perfect. Everything in the mushroom truffle sauce was incredibly creamy and flavourful. Delicious! All three of us did not leave anything on our plates. This place has tiramisu on the menu, but I couldn't do it. I was so full. Instead, we opted for either gelato or sorbetto. We wanted dessert, but not a massive amount. This place is generous with frozen desserts. We were all expecting a scoop, but we got two in a pretty glass. I loved my lemon sorbetto (it's essentially sorbet that does not contain dairy). It was creamy and the lemon flavour was bright. I polished it all. Our other friend had a long day travelling to Kitchener to meet up with friends. She ended up getting a coffee when we first sat down and an espresso with her lemon sorbetto. Her espresso looked so cute that I had to take a photo of it. I loved dining here. The only downside was getting asked how everything was tasting twice as much with two servers. I was asked when I hadn't had any sorbetto yet. Ugh! We had a great time laughing, catching up, and having a late lunch here. I highly recommend coming here for good food in a cozy restaurant. (425) read more

The spaghetti carbonara is the best carbonara I've ever had! It has a great ratio of sauce and toppings to spaghetti so you can enjoy every bite. The cheesecake is fantastic and big enough to share! I've never had an issue here, the service is great and the food is tasty! Ps. The fresh homemade spaghetti can be made gluten free for an additional few dollars. read more

Great fresh pizzas and pastas! The servers are always friendly but it's almost always busy here so try to book an appointment ahead of time. The place isn't ideal for serious meetings or romantic intimate dinners because it's very loud. Otherwise it's a nice casual pizza and pasta restaurant. read more

OVERALL: -Good portions, good quality food, good service -Spacious with lots of seating, but a little noisy inside with all the tvs ARRIVAL: -Went here around 6pm on a weekday evening in September and got a table right away. -Two coworkers and I were looking for somewhere to eat with outdoor seating while we were in town. We tried several other restaurants in the area, but they were all closed, had an hour long wait time, or didnt have outdoor seating like was listed online. FOOD: -I had the meatball appetizer and the lemon garlic shrimp spaghetti -My coworkers had the chicken parmigiana and fettuccine bolognese -Meatball appetizer was good, but nothing special. The melted cheese on top was a little rubbery and didn't really add anything. The meatball itself was very large. -The lemon garlic shrimp spaghetti was really good. The pasta was just Al dente enough and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The sauce was light, but rich and flavorful. It was even better with the parmigiana cheese sprinkled on it. I don't usually like seafood so the fact that I enjoyed this dish so much was impressive. -My coworker did not finish her chicken parm so I had a portion of that too. The idea of having the pasta with Alfredo sauce sounded interesting, but it wasn't super flavorful and the combo wasn't exciting. SERVICE: -Service was great! Very timely and helpful -Our server was gave me a great recommendation with the lemon garlic shrimp spaghetti. I asked what her favorite thing was on the menu and she answered that right away so I trusted that it was good. ATMOSPHERE/LAYOUT: -restaurant was spacious and comfortable -we sat outside where they have nice tables with umbrellas -there were lots of tvs everywhere playing different sports games, which made it a little noisy, but we were outside so we could still talk and hear normally read more

Came here to eat a couple times and I feel that it's quite consistent. The pizza is always a safe choice for me. I tried the Sophia which had chicken, goat cheese, Alfredo sauce and basil oil which was delicious but quite heavy. The calamari was pleasant and came with two dipping sauces, but nothing mind blowing. I will say that the pistachio gelato was delicious! Tasted nutty, smooth texture and was 3 large scoops - perfect if you're sharing with someone. This place gets quite busy so I recommend you book a reservation in advance if you don't want to wait in line. The reservation can be booked on Google you don't need to call in. The restaurant itself is nice, dimly lit with loud music but in the summer, the patio is great! Lively overall. read more

I always end up going to a Scaddabush when I am in the area. It's safe and the food is well above average. Fresh-made mozzarella is a must-have. The service, drinks, and everything on the menu is pretty good. I have been there many times and have never had a bad experience. Two thumbs up! read more

Great Italian spot near Square One, busy on a weeknight for dinner but lively and fun ambiance to be in! Was visiting the area on a work trip. Food was great, for the spaghetti, very tasty and fresh. My coworker got the salmon and said it was pretty good too. The peach mango Bellini was delicious, loved that the waiter recommended it! Not too pricey, great portions, was completely satisfied after the meal. Would love to visit again when in the area! read more

I had never been too drawn to this place for being a chain but finally made my first visit the other week. Chain or not, the food was delicious. I ordered the sausage and fennel linguine, and the sauce was fantastic. The pasta tasted that it was fresh pasta and sure enough when I later looked up to confirm, it is. I also went with polenta fries which are probably not an authentic dish, but I love everything about it and really enjoyed them. My wife loved the taste of her dish but found the pasta too undercooked. I tasted it to confirm - and I love aldente pasta - but I had to agree. They were really good in addressing it quickly and compted the meal, so that was great service. Just note that even mine was quite firm too and was just cooked enough. If you like your pasta a bit softer - or even the way it's cooked at lots of other restaurants, you may wish to indicate that when ordering. Nice interior too. I didn't want to enjoy the place as much as I did, but here I am. read more

I swear I've reviewed Scaddabush before?? Did it get deleted? Anyways... I've been coming to Scaddabush for yearsss but lately they've changed some things up and I find myself craving their dishes and excited for when I get to visit next. They've defs changed up their chicken parm ($21.85) for the better. I've had it in the past and I don't remember it being this good. I ordered this on my last two visits. It's a GREAT portion. I always have leftovers, enough to totally fill me up a second time. Even my bf has a hard time getting down his last few pieces of chicken! The chicken parm comes with a great fettuccini Alfredo. Nice thick noodle with a nice chew to it. Then you mix it up with the red sauce from your chicken parm and you got yourself a nice little rose sauce. The chicken is always juicy and nicely breaded. The small Caesar salad ($8.50) is actually pretty big. It was big enough for my bf and I to split before our pastas. The romaine taste super fresh and has a nice refreshing crunch. They dress the salad perfectly. Not too little or too much dressing. On our most recent visit, my bf and I got the charity bread ($5.95) and I'm not sure if this has changed but it doesn't seem the same. We've had it many times in the past but this time around it was just okay??? I do appreciate that proceeds from this goes to charity. It just felt like something was missing from it or they changed their recipe? Anyways both my bf and I enjoy coming here. Good food, good portions and reasonably priced. What more can you ask for? read more

gabby was great! Service was amazing and food was so good. very helpful and friendly. Great atmosphere as well.

Please stop calling this place Italian. It isn't. Food is okay, price's are somewhat reasonable I suppose considering. Their service is okay as well. Find that the smaller groups tend to be less important than those with a larger group. Overall, it has it's moments when the food is hot and delicious and service is great, and then the times where it arrives late, cold and bland. read more

As always,all my reviews are honest and meant to improve each establishment and to celebrate good taste and quality customer service, after all we all deserve the best when it comes to food and services. After a long day at work, we all deserve something really fulfilling and delicious !! I suggested this place to my boss as me and my bestie and her sister loved the Oakville branch! Taste is really good We ordered food for sharing - lobster spaghetti 5/5- who can go wrong with lobster ? It's my absolute favourites! More lobster pieces please. My student ordered fettuccine bolognese - 4.5/5-too creamy for my liking and very filling. First time trying the mozzarella cheese with prosciutto and jam- 5/5 -absolutely loved it! Red sangria 4.3/5- absolutely loved although we should have ordered a glass serving cause the taste is not the same -overly diluted Customer service 4.3/5 - we were told that we have just 1.5 hrs to stay- Oakville branch didn't tell us this . I understand why they have to say this ,do they tell this to everyone? I felt a little bit rush? -it's not a really good impression,probably the delivery of the message? from the beginning and also the delivery of food is NOT FAST soo how are they expecting to stay this short? Lol soo should I say ,okay we can go at that time if u speed up the delivery lol without compromising the taste off course. All in all scaddabush is a very good place to visit!! I enjoyed the Oakville branch more though cause I didn't felt rushed . read more

Note: This is an update. Previously I have rated this restaurant 4 stars. For this recent time, I would rate this 3.5 stars. My friend and I came here just as the restaurant opened on a Saturday for lunch. We got: Mozzarella - Balsamic Truffle - Still good. Still recommend. Seafood Puttanesca Spaghetti - My most disappointing meal. I've had this meal before at this location (years ago though), so I know how it tasted like before. That's why I am even more disappointed since I know it tasted way better than what I had today. I splurged for this meal because I wanted a good seafood pasta. However, the sauce was bland and the pasta was too soft. Zucca Ravioli - It was a decent meal. The squash inside made it very interesting and I liked the overall blend of this meal. However, there was not that many ravioli for this dish. As well, the service today was pretty poor compared to the other times I've been here. The server came to us 2 times to ask if we were ready to order. That was okay because I understand the server wanted us to order quickly. However, when were actually ready to order, it was so hard to flag down the server. As well, when we were ready to pay, it took some time flagging someone down to notify we were done and took additional time to get the machine to us. The restaurant itself was a bit busier near the end so that could have caused the delay. However, I've been at this location when it was even busier and the service was a lot better. If this was my first time at this location, I would have definitely reviewed this restaurant lower. However, I have been here a couple of times and I know Scaddabush is a lot better than this, so I have given them the benefit of the doubt. read more

We have been here two times and tried two different cocktails. Both are as they describe it in their menu. I could taste all the fruits and mints added to it. It was so good. They bake their bread and make their own cheese. So everything served was fresh and delicious. We had Mushroom fettuccine pasta, Spinach Artichoke dip which comes with focaccia bread (too good), and Margherita pizza. All three were the best! read more

Love a good fancy meal to eat with your besties or significant other and have a great time? Go to this place! Menu: * has variety of food you can pick from - appetizers, pasta, desserts, etc * mainly range around $20 - $30 * has drinks as well like wine, cocktails, and more Place/Atmosphere: * is clean and very nice * do have washroom available * employees are very welcoming and professional * not sure if they accept cash now, although they do accept credit/debit Summary: * Me and my boyfriend were here in August 2020 during covid, while dine-in were allowed. I suggest as patio may open this week in June, to reserve a seat or be on the waiting list. If you do come on the day, you might have to wait a little longer especially if it's a small gathering more than 2 people. They will take your name and number in case. * We ordered basil penne pasta and garlic cheesy bread. It was so good. Our server was nice as well! The experience was lovely, would def come back again! Highly reccomend this place :) read more
