"I visited this restaurant for the first time on Saturday, June 3, 2017 along with my brother and his wife, and a close friend. We were there to thank our friend for her exceptional kindness during a difficult family time. My brother and sister-in-law had visited Scopa many times and had really enjoyed the food and experience. Sadly, our experience went from one disappointment to another. Among a long list of shortcomings, our waiter had nothing positive to say about the food--"doesn't look that good", "wouldn't recommend it", "yeah, I guess you can can get a bottle of Prosecco", etc. etc.. He managed to overflow the Prosecco as he was pouring it and never returned to clean up. The wine was warm, and my brother's beer arrived sometime later. Then we were asked to stand so that our table could be moved to accommodate a party of 12 who ended up sitting outdoors. As to the food, I ordered the seafood risotto and it was tasteless, gluey and the scallops were small enough to be indistinguishable. The other entrees were OK, but no one was raving about the food. The waiter wandered by a couple of times and managed to deliver two glasses of wine but, again, the second beer was delivered after the main courses were finished. In short, Scopa was a great disappointment from the service to the food. It may have been a good neighbourhood restaurant at one time, but it does not come close anymore. We will not return."

"I was extremely disappointed with this pick as it seemed so promising.We went on Mother’s Day, and we expected there to be some issues because it’s a busy day and we completely understand that.HOWEVER, that doesn’t account for bad customer service or everything else that happened to us.They were actually surprisingly well staffed and they were not completely booked.They sat us outside,though we booked an inside table, but hey things happen,they just wanting to sit us.Right off the bat, the waitress was extremely rude to my mother in law. She asked for American coffee, which they brought black as per usual, but they didn’t bring cream or sugar.When my mother in law asked, they brought her sugar but said “oh we don’t have cream here”.This surprised us a bit as most people don’t drink American coffee black.The waitress said she could bring us milk, but my mother in law cannot drink milk. Instead of apologizing and leaving it at that (which is what my mil had decided cause it is what it is) the waitress then says “well what do you think cream is”.Uhhh, first of all it’s not whole milk and second of all what was with the attitude?! But again, we aren’t complainers so we just have each other a look when she walked away and left it at that. We order our food and I asked for a change to my order (again which I understand may not be completed due to the busy day) but the waitress was again rude and started spouting off that I didn’t know what I was ordering.She later realized she was wrong but still didn’t apologize and just stuck her nose up in the air.Anyway, I didn’t complain that I couldn’t have my small change and continued to order. Now, we sat down at 10:35am…it was almost 1pm when we got our food!Almost 2 hours!And that’s after we finally said enough is enough and began complaining. And the worst part, you ask? THE FOOD WAS COLD AND THERE WAS A HAIR IN MY SONS FOOD! Manager did discount us 50% but it was not worth it. She screamed at the waitress-very unprofessional"
