Scannicchio’s — Restaurant in Atlantic City

One by one I have been crossing off all the recommended eateries in Atlantic City and this one was near the top for Italian food. We were definitely not disappointed, I didn’t realize how tiny this place is with the bar taking up more than half the dining room space, this added to the home town friendly feel and atmosphere. We were wedged into our seats as seating is very tight here but we were made to feel comfortable and welcomed by the friendly staff. The menu bolstered a quality but old school Italian favorites. We started by sharing a perfectly put together mixed salad that was fresh and tasty. We followed up with the chicken parmegianna, which which was freshly fried and crisp, with a delicious tomato sauce and mozzarella melted on top, a huge and wonderful portion. We also had the veal Milanese which was also very fresh and expertly coated and fried, it was topped with sautéed broccoli rabe, peppers and mozzarella, my only complaint was that the broccoli rabe was overcooked, I like it green and aldente this was a little mushy and soggy, it did not stop me from woofing it all down. We had a very tasty homemade canolli for dessert. We definitely loved our dinner at Scannicchio’s, a treasured piece of...

My Sister Connie, my Cousin Lisa and I went to Scannuchios for my Sisters birthday dinner on Thursday, August 21st the day of hurricane Erin. The streets started to fill up with water and we didn’t think anything about it. The hurricane flooded the streets and restaurant so bad it was almost up to the seat of my chair. We stayed and finished our dinner hoping that the low tide would take the water out. Well it didn’t but we stayed until 9:30 hoping? The staff; the Bartender Robby, the Waitresses Eve and Mareli, the Manager Harold, the Concierge Frankie and their neighbor Ty who played a big piece of the puzzle, never missed a beat. The neighbor Ty let us know about our cars if they were park in the wrong parking spot and let us know about the water height and the concerns for our cars. The servers carried on serving us like nothing was wrong and made sure we were ok. I was concerned for them immensely. The staff carried on normally and I give them the highest kudos. Thank you all so very much in making my sisters birthday dinner a success. We walked two blocks left of the restaurant to higher ground and we laughed about the...

my partner and I visited last week, in the hopes of having a nice last minute dinner while we were in town. we wanted something special but local, and this was the perfect choice! right off the bat I was optimistic about having a good meal, as the service was very personable, and the decor/music was just right. that was definitely a relief since it seemed like a slow night and that can sometimes be awkward. our orders were spectacular! we enjoyed literally every crumb off the dish. the artichoke was as good as mentioned in other reviews, despite that not always being a favorite of mine. I loved the crab balls too which were such a beautiful balance of rich and savory but not too heavy. and of course, the milanese I got as a main was magnificent - cutlet perfectly prepared, and the flavors all so bright and delicious. and a nice change from the red sauce I usually order at italian joints. all in all, I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place, and I hope to get the chance to...
