Love this restaurant. The food is fabulous! Friendly and efficient wait staff. The complementary bread and dipping sauce is to die for! I ordered Chicken Verona - a new dish for me and it was a medley of lovely flavors! Capers, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, red peppers and Chicken in a wonderful buttery lemon sauce. Served over pasta. It came with a nice fresh crisp salad. Hubby ordered Chicken Florentine - delightful spinach and mushrooms in a cream sauce with chunks of chicken. It also came with a choice of soup or salad. Plenty of parking Tables and booths available Able to handle large family or friend groups read more

While out hunting for good Italian restaurants we bumped into this place. Reviews were very good so we checked it out. There was so much on the menu it was a challenge trying to decide. Decor was elegant and quiet but with TV sets to entertain the crowd. Server was very nice and patient. Food came out hot with cheese melting. I ordered the Trio with Manicotti, Lasagna and something else. Everything was really good and came out in a timely manner. I definitely come and try some more plates. Check it out if you are in the area! read more

Mother's Day dinner 2026 was excellent at Scisciano's. It was all of my party's first time dining there and it was pleasant. Most service staff were really friendly, manager/owner was very friendly and thoughtful. Our server was a little overwhelmed but he also seemed kind of young and new but still did well. There are a few little things that could use improvement such as the menu stating things that were not exactly prepared as stated: the carrots on the prime rib plate were strange whole carrots that were not peeled and barely looked cooked but had been described as roasted hot and sweet glazed, there were not. The menu had said raspberry tiramisu and I was excited about that, but it was served as a traditional tiramisu. The risotto had great flavor and fully cooked but wasn't quite the perfect consistency I was expecting but was still very tasty. Other members in our party enjoyed their Stromboli, fettuccine alfredo, and carbonara. The garlic knots were incredible especially with the garlic olive oil dipper. I would definitely go back and recommend trying many of the dishes. read more

We were looking to try a new Italian place that offered catering dishes of various types of entrees. Found this gem on Yelp that is close to our neighborhood and couldn't be happier. The reviews on Yelp and Toast were top notch. We tried a pan of lasagna for 10 people. The lasagna was excellent, probably the best I've tried from a restaurant. Definitely recommend!! I even called today to give my compliments to the chef. We are looking forward to trying other dishes at the restaurant next time we are craving Italian. Thank you, Scisciano Italia. read more

It's was ladies night with the littles and we all enjoyed this place. We shared the pasta combo, chicken speciality dish, kids ravioli, tiramisu, and limoncello cake. The pizza also looks very good. For the price point, I'll go back here again! Our server was busy but on top of things and very friendly. read more

We stopped at Scisciano Italia for lunch today after stopping at another Italian restaurant finding it closed on Mondays. This was our first visit. The garlic bread knots that was brought out right away were soft and tasty. My husband ordered the Frutti Di Mare. He absolutely loved it. The shrimps, scallops and mussels were cooked to perfection. My daughter ordered the meatball sandwich. We can she thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the Chicken Piccata. The chicken was way over cooked. It tasted and appeared like it was pre-cooked and sat in liquid. The pasta was a little bit passed el dente but still good. The star of the dish was the lemony sauce. When asked about the chicken, she told me that they were pre-cooked in preparation for the lunch crowd. She had my dish re-made for me with freshly grilled chicken. Side by side, the previous chicken appeared gray and dry. I'm glad To have spoken up. The replacement dish was delicious! Great service and good food. Will be coming back to try other foods on the menu. read more

Scisciano Italia - Italian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Portions. Come here if you like large portions. For me, less is more. I thought the food was just "okay." I understand why people rate it highly, they like to eat a lot in this town. The chicken soup appetizer was enough to feed 2. Although the waiter mentioned they cook everything from scratch, the soup tasted reheated. The cannoli was hard as well. The stuffing is made in house, the roll was imported elsewhere and it was almost tooth shattering. The pasta was good, a bit undersalted tho. Some pros, they have a good variety of wine and alcoholic drinks they can offer. A step up from Olive Garden, but not the best Italian food I've had in town. I'd say better than 80% of the spots. The inside is very bright, cheesy Italian music playing on a would be CD player, and a waiter who was almost constantly checking in on us to the point where towards the end we were ready to move on. Come give it a shot if you like to eat lots of leftovers. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my mother and stepfather. First time here for us three. Looks like a typical neighborhood restaurant, with a small bar. Quaint with Italian ballads piped in. I had the shrimp scampi, which was rather delicious and i could not finish it all. Do much food. My only ding will be our server. Not really a ding as he was new. However, maybe he didn't need to check our table so much. He was very polite however, maybe not so many frequent check ins. Other than that he was very kind and helpful read more

Service and food is always great. Wedding soup and Veal Scisciano are top notch. Eating in or getting it to go, they never disappoint

Friendly service, and the food was great. We enjoyed waaaaayy more food than we intended to eat.

Honestly, everything went well at Scisciano Italia! We had reservations and our table was ready for us when we got to the restaurant. It even had a "reserved" sign on it. Our server was excellent! He immediately greeted us, served us our water along with wine for those who ordered their Moscatos. We also ordered a couple of appetizers which got to our table within a few minutes. The Burrata was very good. On top of this, each of us enjoyed our entrees. My daughter and I shared the Salmon Picatta which was served on Risotto. It was amazing!! The picatta sauce was incredibly delicious. So glad we came to this neighborhood restaurant. It's a place I would definitely go back to. read more

Over the weekend, I was looking at Yelp's Hot New Businesses, saw Scisciano Italia, and wanted to try it. We decided to check it out tonight. They've got a good crowd going for a Monday night, so the word is out. They've only been open 2 months so quickly check them out! Dad had Lemonade, and Hubby and I had their complimentary Chardonnay (Chateau Ste. Michelle). I'm presuming they don't have their liquor license yet. The complimentary Garlic Knots were served hot and fresh. The dip was very tasty with lots of minced garlic. You may want to skip if you don't like garlic. We shared the Tre Fried Calamari, Ravioli, and Cheese Sticks. Ginormous portions, actually all the dishes were very generous! The calamari is one of the best in town. Dad and Hubby had Chicken Vegetable Soup. I had House Salad with the Pasta Sampler (lasagna, manicotti, cannelloni), which I shared with Dad. Hubby had the Veal Marsala. I had a bite of the veal and it was so tender. Hubby ate it all! I read that the Tiramisu was good so we tried it. It was so light it felt like I wasn't eating any calories. Yum!!! About the business...Dusti Melucci is the owner and her Grandma is from Sciscianno, a comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy. The recipes are from Grandma. True Italian roots! The current menu is extensive but they'll be tweaking as they see what people like and enjoy. For now, they have a Facebook page but will soon be adding Instagram to their social media mix. read more

I saw rave reviews on Facebook San Antonio Restaurants group so I couldn't wait to dine there with the family. I would give this review 3.5 stars. Our server Gwen provided excellent service. We ordered 2 pasta samplers and chicken parmigiana from the lunch menu. Gwen brought out 3 garlic knots which were flavorful but slightly overbaked (as shown by the black spots). The garlic dipping oil was fantastic. The fresh side salads with homemade blue cheese dressing were a great way to start the meal. I ordered house dressing but tried the blue cheese dressing (much better!) I wanted to try a side of meatballs. The plump meatballs were good but needed more seasoning. My dining companions enjoyed the pasta sampler consisting of lasagna, manicotti (filled with cheese) and cannelloni (filled with meat). My chicken parm was not as enjoyable. The chicken breast seemed dry around the edges and over fried. I loved the vegetables that I substituted for the pasta. Scisciano Italia serves good homemade food. I'd like to return to try other dishes and the pizza. read more

We just moved into the neighborhood and were excited to find this Italian spot. The food was good and the lunch prices seemed like a great deal. The menu clearly says the lunch entrées include a salad. Today we were charged separately for the dinner salad, and when I asked about it, the server said the owner decided the lunch prices are already low enough so salads are no longer included -- even though the menu still says they are. If the policy changed, the menu should be updated so customers know before ordering. It's unfortunate because the food was decent and we were hoping this would become a regular neighborhood spot, but losing a customer over an $8 bowl of lettuce, that was advertised as included, just doesn't make sense. read more

Just went today and had to add to these amazing reviews! I went around 3 PM and we were the only guests which is always a plus. Very nice, bright atmosphere. Our server was so kind and so attentive. I'm just realizing I didn't catch her name. She apologized for the soup taking a little while to come out because it's made to order and I don't mind that at all! Fresher the better! It came out so hot. It was so delicious. Our entrees came out pretty much right after, but also pretty hot so we could still enjoy our soup before getting to the entrées. But once we got to our entrées, oh my gosh, absolutely delicious! The shrimp scampi was such a refreshing taste. And the tortellini Alfredo was so creamy. Adding the mushrooms is a must so don't forget to ask. Just what I was looking for. Only thing I'm upset about is not coming to check out this place sooner! They will be seeing us again :) read more

Food Was Awesome! Great Service and what can one ask for other than To be thankful..........................

Visited Wednesday, July 23, 2025 with my Mom and son. It was about 3:45pm. We were told to choose a table and our waitress Laura gave us a few recommendations as it was our first time. They brought out garlic knots with an olive oil dipping sauce. My son ordered a combination plate with chicken Parmesan over spaghetti, fettuccine Alfredo and cannelloni. My Mom had eggplant Parmesan and I had Puttanesca. My son had the house soup and Mom and I had house salads. Everything was so good. The Alfredo said was so rich and creamy. The eggplant had lots of cheese. The puttanesca was cooked Al dente, which was so nice, not over cooked at all. We all had plenty and took leftovers home and they were great reheated! The restaurant was empty when we got there, but people came in to get to go orders and the place was busy as we were leaving. The place was clean and decor was nice. We will DEFIANTLY return. read more

Sausage Arrabbiata.... EXCELLENT ! This was the best Italian meal I can remember. We visited San Antonio for Air Force BMT Graduation and made dinner reservations for 7. Restaurant was very clean and staff prompt. We ordered and assortment of appetizers they were very good. Chicken parm was enormous and very tender with fantastic flavor. The marinara had a great flavor! My meal I ordered with "more spice" and I was not denied. T was spicy!!! I loved it! I would DEFINITELY recommend this restaurant. read more

We were sent here by a patient of my husband. Service was great! Waitstaff were competent on the menu and very attentive. Restaurant was nice, relaxed, and comfortable. The food though was not good at all. Both dishes lacked flavor. My pasta was overcooked. My husband's dish seemed to swim in butter or grease. The sauce tasted more like a jar sauce than made in house. Would go back for dessert but nothing more. read more

Oh my goodness yummm! A small group of us went today for lunch and everything was great! Alex, our server, was very attentive and so nice and the food was over the top delicious. It's a cute little place that is warm and inviting. They brought us hot garlic knots with an oil dip when we sat down and wow! So good! We had a variety of pasta dishes and pizza and everyone enjoyed their food. Definitely try this place out! read more

Had a craving for some cannoli. This restaurant advertised that they had them. It was a long wait and then I got a call saying that they did not have my preferred toppings, that was fine with me I chose the others that they had. After another long wait, called me back and said they did not have the cream filling for the cannoli.. At this time I cancel my entire order. Very disappointed. they say that my mushrooms were delivered, but now I have not received them and I expect not to be charged for anything in this order. I canceled the entire order due to them not fulfilling my request for cannolis, which was what I desired from the very beginning. read more

Service was impeccable. Clean. Food was fantastic and freshly prepared. We will be back!

From the food to the service, everything was fantastic. The only challenge was having to choose one meal from the menu; all of the items looked delicious. We had the Tre Fried appetizer, very good. The calamari was some of the best I ever had. The free bread was delicious. I just cannot find one bad thing to say. We will be back, over and over again for sure. read more

New place for us. A couples dinner. Once we sat down, they brought out some warm garlic knot breads, and oil. Yes, they just stole my heart. The knots are a good size. Service was quick, but our waiter had a soft voice, it was hard to hear him. The place wasn't loud. Other than that, our waiter was superb. Very polite, and very attentive to our table. They had tables and booths to sit in. Place was clean. Decor is very cool. Kinda romantic. They have a flower and a tealight candle on the tables. Maria had the lasagna, came out very hot of the oven. The portion was good, and the flavor is good. I had the pasta sample, also a good portion. It came with lasagna, cannoli, and manicotti. Also hot out of the oven, and very delicious. No beer, but they have wine. Also the tea is fresh and delicious. They have an espresso machine, but I stay away from espresso. Next time I will get a hot tea. Bathrooms are clean and clean. All in all, we will be back. The menu is very interesting. read more

Was craving spaghetti and it definitely satisfied my craving. But let me tell you the hot bread with olive oil was the star. I wanted more and more.

The service was amazing, we really felt attended to, and the food was fantastic overall. I'd consider it on par with 4 star. The location and outside façade is unassuming and we're glad we found this gem. The menu is extensive. The vegetable soup was perfection, even for a sensitive palate. The best broth; not overly salty or spicy, and had the optimal amount of celery to carrot to chicken ratio. Not too many onions, thank goodness. The stuffed mushrooms came with brown gravy which was an interesting but pleasant surprise.. On the verge of too much garlic.. but not actually too much. I appreciated the modest bar, which was able to accommodate my custom drink. The rolls and olive oil for the table was also really nice. The only downside was their water, although purified, smelled highly chlorinated. Even the ice in my sweet tea reeked like city tap. Pro tip, if you want a medium steak, ask for medium rare, because what I received was medium well, which I don't necessarily mind, it still tasted just fine. Just be aware. read more

This place was incredible from the service to the food!!! The garlic bread, chicken soup, and Scisciano Sampler were all on point!!!

The bread alone is worth the visit! I don't know what they do to make it so good but I hope they never change the recipe! Waitstaff was very knowledgeable about their offerings and willing to accommodate special requests and allergies. read more

Once again, we can't say enough about the food, the service, and the ambience we encounter each time we visit Scisciano. Joseph was our server and his service is professional and very efficient. We had chicken parmigiana and sausage arrabiata, which is a sliced sausage & pasta in a spicy tomato based sauce. Both entrees were delicious and the servings were large enough to split, which we didn't do, so brought home dinner for tomorrow. We love locally owned restaurants and this is one of our faves. read more

Three of us tried Scisciano Italia 2 nighs ago and had a great experience. Food, atmosphere and service was great. Portions were large so we had to take some food home. Pirces seem to be very fair for what you get. The temperature in the restaurant was fairly warm so we're assuming they may have some A/C issues but the fans kept it comfortable but feel bad for the people who work there. We will definitely return to try something else from their extensive menu just hope the temperature in the restaurant is a little cooler. read more
