I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant and I must say, the Linguini pasta dish with sautéed jumbo shrimps was an absolute delight. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the shrimps were seared just right with a touch of olive oil, shallots, and garlic. The creamy comaro lobster brandy sauce added a wonderful richness to the dish, complemented by the flavors of portobello mushrooms, roasted red bell peppers, and asparagus. The final touch of shallot garnish added a lovely finishing touch.
My wife opted for the VITELLO PARMIGIANA, and she was equally impressed. The dish was prepared with tender veal, coated in a deliciously crispy and cheesy Parmigiana crust. It was a true culinary delight that left her completely satisfied.
As for the kids, they enjoyed classic favorites. The spaghetti and meatballs were a hit, with perfectly cooked pasta and flavorful meatballs. The fettuccine Alfredo, another popular choice, was creamy and velvety, pleasing their young palates.
The restaurant offers ample parking space, ensuring convenience for guests. One thing to note is that the portion sizes here are quite generous, even for the kids' dishes, we had left overs to take home. It's worth mentioning that the meatballs were an additional option, possibly as an upsell.
On the bright side, the establishment provides plenty of seating options, allowing for a comfortable...
Read moreWe've been to Scarolies Pasta Emporium several times, and it's always a solid experience. A word of advice: make a reservation. It gets very crowded, and walking in without one might leave you without a table.
One of the best parts of dining here is the warm baguette they serve as soon as you sit down. It comes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping, and you can always ask for a refill. It's not the best baguette I've ever had, but it's genuinely good and a great way to start the meal.
This time, we had two soups: the soup of the day (vegetarian) and the chicken noodle. Both were decent; nothing extraordinary, but satisfying.
For mains, we ordered a few pasta dishes: one with shrimp, one with lobster, and a lamb dish. The pasta was very good: the sauces were flavorful and well-balanced, and the pasta itself wasn't overcooked. I especially appreciated the generous offering of fresh black pepper and cheese, you can always ask for more.
The lamb was also good. We had two lamb plates, and the flavor varied slightly between them—sometimes more mild, sometimes richer. The only small downside was that the sauce on one was a bit too salty, possibly from the black pepper and salt combo.
Overall, the food is consistently good, the service is friendly, and the little touches (like the baguette and fresh cheese/pepper) make it a place worth coming back to. We'll definitely...
