Very much enjoyed the Zucca Ravioli. I found the food here very fresh and good presentation. My new favourite restaurant. Thank you!

I love pasta and... I hate when people mess up Italian food. If you love reading true comments I hope you enjoy mine. Overpriced food for sure. If you are an independent and mobile human being and having a free mind to decide where to eat. Don't spend your money at this place. Take the subway, call the uber and go somewhere else. My friend and I ordered 2 pastas. One is something with shrimp and the other one is mushroom. When you spend around $25 to order a Shrimp or Mushroom pasta, you would expect it to be flavourful. These are ingredients that are easy to make food so rich and satisfying. However, these 2 different pastas at Scaddabush (also what a name!) tasted exactly the same. What does it taste like? Salty Greasy Heavy Cream! It's like they have a big pot of white cream and mix the pasta in and put on different toppings (well.... its pasta not PIZZA!!!) The service is pretty good. So here you go. Not entirely bad. If the half of the money of that $25 pasta goes to the server, I would be more than happy to pay the price. read more

Pleasently surprised with interior, clean, good lighting. Excellent pizza, tons of pepperoni. Very good chicken parm. read more

Probably the worst Scaddabush out of all the locations in Toronto. Our table was ready on time and our server was very friendly, the first 20minutes were great! I always get the truffle mozzarella and it was good (wasn't as tough and tasted fresh) and this location toasted the bread and it had a hint of garlic which made it tastier. But now with the mains... my pasta was super over cooked and the water was definitely not seasoned properly. The sauce got all soaked up to the spaghetti had this too barely any flavour! I ordered the seafood arrabbiata spaghetti and it was super bland after requesting it to be EXTRA spicy. The only nice thing was the seafood was fresh but still not seasoned properly at ALL. I can cook better pasta at home with $10 and this was $30 dish.. what a shame and a waste of my time. The best bet is to go to a different location or Jack astor's next door. read more

Went here with a group of friends for a girls night out. The server was attentive and gave us some suggestions for apps. We settled on two spinach dips for the table. We ended up needing extra bread which was free. The dip was creamy and flavourful. I would order this again. I had the gnocchi regular size and I ended up taking quite a bit home. This cost about $23 and although it tasted great, I dont think it was worth the price. I could probably make this at home. I also have a feeling that although they say their pasta is all hand made, it means its hand made in a factory, frozen and sent to restaurants to serve. The gnocchi was too uniform for it to be hand made in the back kitchen. I had the chance to try some of my friends tiramisu ( because she didn't like it) and it was very creamy and delicious but lacked the rich expresso flavour found in classic recipes. The atmosphere is always great at any location I have gone to. Overall, this is still a great place to meet up with friends and have some decent food. read more

Scaddabush - Forgot to take a picture before I started eating. - Wine Bars Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

We came here after a recent disappointment going to an East Side Mario's. I would definitely recommend this place over East Side's. They have a good menu, and a reasonable kids menu. My son complained that his ice cream came half melted and they offered to bring him another one which he declined, but it was nice of them to offer nevertheless. I think for the price difference it's better to come here. So I guess we'll be back for some more family dining experiences. read more

They have patio during COVID, and our hostess was considerate in making sure that our table was sanitized before we sat down.

Scaddabush - basil pesto shrimp - Wine Bars Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Scadda on gerrard has always been a favourite of mine. We were so happy to know that one opened up closer to home and we didn't have to trek downtown for some comfort food. Many people that reviewed for this location stated that the food was not seasoned well, nor was the service great... but the 2 times I've been back, I only experienced great service, flavourful food and great atmosphere. It does get busy on a weekend, but if you go on a weeknight you can generally get a seat within 5 minutes of entering the restaurant. Fan favourites: Truffle mozzarella. Can't go wrong with home made mozzarella filled with honey and truffle. it always made perfectly and tasty and never a miss for us. Deep friend calamari. When we first went when they opened the calamari was soggy and the batter was not fried right.. but the next time we went, it was done nicely. The only sad side to this dish is that it use to be bigger in portion, and the price has definitely increased (i think because of minimum wage increase) but the sauces that come to dip were great Carbonara, served in a mini skillet and great for one person. try subbing the pasta with fettuccine, it taste so flavorful of bacon and parm goodness! Chicken Parm, hubby seems to always order the chicken parm. You get a huge piece of chicken with their homemade mozzarella on top. Fried nicely and still has a crunchy when cutting into the cutlet! Spaghetti and meatball, huge in portion size, and always piping hot when i order this! Get it with their spicy tomato sauce cause it truly adds a kick. Overall, scaddabush is a chain, but it definitely hits the spot when you want some comfort italian food. Don't expect super authentic Italian... if you do, go to a restaurant that isn't a chain! read more

Typical chain restaurant. Decent food but not great. We were here in a Friday night because all other restaurants close by were super busy and we basically we're able to just walk in. That said, service was not great. We were placed under a heater and asked numerous times to be moved, when we finally did our appetizers were sent to the new table and was already cold and the bread at that point was almost stale, the meat ball was bland Service was slow over all for a not so busy place (relative to other restaurants on a Friday). Pasta was mediocre. I mean we finished it but nothing we would ever crave again - the carbonara was a bit bland. The only really good thing on the menu was the mascarpone cheese cake. That was the real MVP. read more

Absolutely horrible, unprofessional and inconsiderate experience. We normally order from scaddabush square one but the website indicated it was closed. I decided to try The Sherway gardens location instead as they still appeared to be open according to the website. We placed our order at 6PM on Mother's Day Sunday, for 745 PM pickup which the website accepted. They advised they would send an email once the order started being prepared, 30 minutes prior to scheduled pickup time. We chose the curb side pickup due to the COVID19 pandemic, thinking to choose the safest option for both us and the staff. When we arrived at 7:45pm, we clicked the option to advise we were outside. 15 min after waiting, I went in to see what was going on and found 12 other people inside waiting for their food, most of them 1-2 hours. I ended up canceling my order as they said it would have taken an ADDITIONAL 2 hours to have it ready. On Mother's Day at 8:30pm I had to find an alternate dinner option for my family due to Scaddabush Sherway poorly managing their business and poorly communicating with their customers, without any remorse when asking for updates. read more

I ordered the fettuccine bolognese, and the it was amazing. However, drinks were slow to come out (took over 10 mins to get our drinks) and the desserts were nothing special. read more

Terrible pasta. Ordered a sociale size roasted mushroom and truffle gnocchi. The pasta was pooled with oil that did not even tasted like truffle oil. Asked the waitress if this is normal (clearly aware that its not normal), and her response was that the sociale sized pasta tends to pool up with oil. Ridiculous answer. read more

Ordered the spaghetti and meatball & chicken parm. Very salty and greasy as well a slab of dry/frozen, precooked chicken. Service was great but couldn't save the overall experience. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner with a friend and this place's food had me puked all night long when I got home. The shrimp spaghetti was rather oily and very cheesy. We had a reservation so didn't have to wait long to be seated. It did take awhile for the food to be served but as long as it was made fresh then I don't have a problem with that. Atmosphere was not too bad but the music was very loud, overall this is an okay place to eat, I would not recommend the Shrimp spaghetti!! read more

Maximum points for trying really hard! Scaddabush may have hippest, trendiest Italian-themed place in all of Etobicoke. Jars of peppers for decoration. A great look. Foccacio though a bit airy, was a $3 appetizer. A real Italian restaurant would just put the bread out there. Several wines, including chiantis, were on the menu and great to have the ability to order a half carafe of many of them. The baked pasta carbonera was beautifully served, with an egg on it, in a baby cast iron pan. A modern rendition of a classic. Could have used a bit more flavorful pancetta. Service was stellar! Super attentive. read more

My husband and I love coming here for a casual night out! The cocktails are interesting and not too sweet and the food is well made Italian comfort food. The patio is nice in the summer too! Also, there's a nice selection of thoughtfully put together non-alcoholic cocktails, not just overly sweet juices/sodas mixed together. I really loved the lemon rosemary soda (fresh lemon, cardamom, rosemary and soda)! read more

Minimal staff around, so there's a lot of waiting around, to take your info, to order, etc., but not a big deal, great beer prices, daily, $5 for a tall can of canadian, great deal, beautiful patio, al fresco-ish, side panels open, but it has a hard top, very, very comfy, I could sit there all day, and drink, and eat, but the food is meh, once had the bucco bites, tasty, but needs sauce, it's an italian restaurant, EVERYTHING NEEDS SAUCE! , next day bruschetta, bread is not crisp at all, too much tomatoe topping, mushy, had the meatball, tasty but it's all meat, little cheese on top, no sauce, on top of a mushy crostini, needs contrast, keep the bread stiff, then their bread, is fresh, but no cold butter?, huh, whatever, there gonna say they're italian they know italian food, but no they don't, the pizza was great still, diavalo, so much so I recreated it at home, waitresses don't mention anything about there half of specials, so next poorly managed place, I guess generally they make their nut so don't care but nowadays, come on, provide that exceptional customer service, or not at all, which is the new norm, old norm, abnormal is the new normal!, whatever, read more

Service was excellent , the food was incredible and the ambiance was very inviting. My family and I cannot wait to return. This is most definitely a 5 star for us. There is also no need to worry about parking. There is something for everyone. read more

After years of going to their restaurant, we decided tonight to "order in" and use Skip the Dishes. Sadly, the best part of the experience was the delivery driver. Portions were more expensive, smaller in size and cold.... which was particularly unforgivable as the restaurant is less than 10 minutes away. Damn disappointed and made sure Skip the Dishes was aware as well. Jim read more

I was here with my dad on June 27th for lunch. The restaurant looked beautiful on the inside but we chose to sit on the patio, which was spacious, clean and covered. That's as far as it goes on the positives. At least fifteen minutes passed after we were seated and given menus, which was more than enough time to decide what we wanted to eat. The restaurant was not very busy, but not one person introduced themselves as our waiter, offered us water, offered to take our orders, yet alone acknowledged us. My dad tried several times to make eye contact with the servers, but we eventually gave up trying, and ended up going to the Jack Astors next door, where we were greeted by waiters within minutes of sitting down. Our experience at Scaddabush was disheartening. We had hoped for a good lunch, but were treated as if we were invisible. read more

Terrible experience. Hip hop music so loud my wife and I couldn't even speak... In an Italian restaurant...come on... Ordered a meatball for an appetizer...worst value for my money ever! You get one meatball that is too salty and flavorless for 13.45 Then you have to feel like an honour for the waitress to bring out a few slices of bread. Half priced mojito that doesn't look or taste like a mojito. Inexperienced staff in training overall makes me never return to this place again. Much better places out there... Can't wait to get home and put some relaxing music on...take a few aspirins...my head is spinning!! read more

It's a shame really. That the music is soooooo loud that you could LITERALLY go deaf eating here. Conversation is next to impossible. Cause their fresh mozzarella is exquisite! (bread was too crispy/over-toasted for me personally, but that's easy to fix! And the cheese, with fig and prosciutto....omg!) I begged the manager, Ronald Wong, to turn the music down. I told him I was afraid that I'd leave with a migraine. He refused. FOR 10 minutes. His exact words? "The music is part of the atmosphere. I have all my guests to consider, not just you. I don't care if other restaurants turn it down. WE DON'T TURN THE MUSIC DOWN HERE". Over and over. 10 or 15 times at least. I gave up and left....VERY MUCH MISSING THE CANYON CREEK THAT WAS THERE UNTIL NOVEMBER. For some reason, best known to their parent company, SIR, Jack's and Scaddabush refuse to play music at a reasonable, appropiate volume FOR A RESTAURANT. (BTW. SIR stands for service inspired restaurants....Can you say, irony, boys and girls? I think it's too late!) Scaddabish, and their parent company, SIR, apparently don't believe in customer service. Or that the customer is often right! OR IN BASIC COURTESY. SERIOUSLY. It's a REAL shame. Scaddabush seems to want to be a college bar, rather than a restaurant. I also know, from speaking with staff throughout SIR's restaurants (Jack's and Scaddabush), that more than JUST a couple of talented and YOUNG, 23 to 30 year olds, are suffering from significant hearing loss. PERMANENT DAMAGE, my yelping friends. And that few, if any of them, have 5 to 7 THOUSAND dollars they will soon need for hearing aids. As a migraine sufferer, I left with a migraine.....so thanks for that "unpaid bonus!". And no one has contacted me to discuss this issue, OR the deplorable conduct by Mr. Wong. IS this a bar? Or a restauarant? It is a shame! But Via Allegro, a GENUINE Italian restaurant, is 30 seconds away, beside Staples....risottos, lamb, pastas, branzino, etc, are all spectacular! read more

Disappointing to say the least. First off why are we told that since we don't have a reservation it will be a 10-20 minute wait and then when we're finally seated the restaurant is half full. Some of the food is passable but seriously...SEASON YOUR FOOD! Even adding pepper and salt couldn't hide the lack of flavour in the dishes. Service is friendly and efficient...that was the saving grace...however not enough to warrant a second visit. read more

The food was great, environment was as well. Our server was the 3 star element. Perhaps an off day but for a party of 6, arrangements made ahead of time regarding bill as it was a birthday, and a surprise get together. Confirmation of the needs was made the call prior when they confirmed the reservation. Server was aggressive, he would leave the table with half orders, did a quality check when the food was put on the table as opposed to during the meal. Interuppted and starting talking over table regarding the 1/2 meatball. Which for all the hype he gave the story he was going to tell of the meatball it was basically one of the best in Toronto. Appeared mad when dessert was declined. Asked about the bills when explicitly requested to not do so, then was irritated when multiple were requested. A brutal server. Great food. read more

Not only their food is delicious, but their dessert "zeppole" am I spelling it right is to die for w the mochaccino. Their staff are so friendly. read more

Scaddabush - Wine Bars Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

Went here for my birthday on July 8. I had a reservation for 7:30pm, and there was no problem being seated. You do have the option to sit outside, or inside (they have windows open). We sat inside, and the first thing I noticed was that the table had a note that wrote down who sanitized the table, and chairs. When we were seated, they gave us paper menus (for sanitary reasons). We ordered water to start, and when she came back with our water, the two glasses had lipstick stains and lip marks! I was disgusted and so unhappy. I was really surprised that they just let it slide especially during these times. Anyways, our server (Maggie) gave us actually* clean glasses and we ordered chicken parmesan, and a magherita pizza. The chicken Parm was good, but the Margherita pizza didn't taste fresh. I feel like the pizza was probably left out for a few minutes longer... Anyways, our server Maggie was attentive and super friendly, I really enjoyed her service - I just was unhappy with pretty much everything else. The stained glass cups were pretty gross, and my food wasn't fresh. I'll probably stick to the Square One location instead. read more

We are visiting from L.A. and had the good fortune to stumble upon an Italian restaurant called Scaddabush. We had the even BETTER fortune of getting Christian as our waiter! Our group shared 5 different dishes and they were all excellent. We are here for our nephews wedding and we told them that. They brought us a tray with three amazing desserts with two sparklers, which made our night! The very best part was Christian, our waiter. He was extremely friendly and helpful, and was always close when we needed him. One of the best waiters we've ever had, and we travel extensively. Even the manager Rochelle was amazing, and joined Christian in presenting our desserts and personally congratulating my wife's sister and her husband, the parents of the groom for the upcoming nuptials. We don't have Scaddabush in LA and I had never heard of them, but we'll never forget the great food, atmosphere, and amazing service we received from Christian and Rochelle last night. Thank you all so much for making our evening!!! Chris and Fay read more

First time here and had high hopes as the previous Canyon Creek sucked. The server was very friendly with prompt service and answered all our questions. The food was only mediocre. I had the pasta with stuffed meatball which is suppose to be a favourite of people. I found out stuffed is 1 pepperoni and a dab of cheese. I expected a better meal and am not sure if I will return. read more

I have had Naomi and crystal both as servers and they were great! Foods been good! Not a huge fan of the pizza but my boyfriend is so it's always a good time! Would come again read more

This was my first visit to this location and the changes to the layout are very good. The server was excellent - the food something less so. The Caesar Salad was very good but could not get anchovies, thus the zing was missing. The Snapper coated, was oily and scorched on the outside and fish itself was extremely dry and tasteless. What a waste of a good fish. Somebody ought to teach the kitchen staff how to correctly cook fish. Plate loaded with oily bland potatoes, over cooked broccoli and carrots that I did not bother tasting. They had only one Guiness in stock. Thinking of all the restaurants this company owns it is too back that the quality of their food is so poor. Maybe the pasta side of the house is better? Expense for what was served. read more

service and food could not have been any better! was served by the lovely mikhayla and she did not disappoint! she brought good energy as well as amazing food recommendations. if you go to other scaddabushes the servers are dull and lacklustre but mikhayla was not! will definitely come again to experience a lovely evening. read more

Nice ambience, okay service but, sadly, that's where the pros end. The food is not upto the mark. The so called "fresh" pasta that we ordered was undercooked, hard and tasted stale. The Chicken Parmesan was dry and stringy. For how the food tasted, I think this place is overpriced. Next time, I will look elsewhere. read more

I went here for lunch with my friend. We were really excited because we wanted the fresh mozzarella with the bread, but then we saw that they didn't serve it until 5 pm. We asked the waitress if there was a way we could have this for lunch because it is what we really wanted. And she was so nice and awesome that she asked in the kitchen for us. They gave us the naked mozzarella dish with some sort of pizza bread. It was delicious. I also had the penne dish and it was so so fresh. Everything was so delicious and it was nice to see how accommodating they were here at this location. I will definitely go back! read more

New location in Etobicoke and 2nd time at a scaddabush. Ordered the peach Bellini which was amazing blood orange Bellini was too slushy and flavourless so we returned for another peach one. Had a Tuscan salad that was good but a bit too much dressing that was over powering at the end. Grilled vegetable sandwich was foiled with red peppers that were too tart with vinegar but the rosemary fries as a side were very tasty. The seafood pasta was subpar as it was bathed in a way too salty sauce shrimps were tasty though. The desert of tiny donuts with hazelnut sauce was a good finish to the salt overloading. Service was pleasant and timely. Atmosphere was nice and well decorated. read more

Scaddabush - Wine Bars Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

HORRIBLE !!!!!! I'm sick of restaurants all over having misogynist managers who are rude, cruel and absurd !!! Food was okay, service from Crystal was slow and filled with attitude!!! On top of all that when I made management aware of the issue with her attitude and disgusting behaviour from the start , the bald male manager was apologetic and nice however when going to the restroom I noticed on my way he had her pulled aside and was talking down to her and pointing in her face very aggressively. I was not trying to get her in trouble I just want to acknowledge the bad service. She seemed really Scared of him and I was so embarrassed for even speaking up. Needless to say I will not be returning. I only frequent restaurants where the servers are happy and treated well. I don't believe Crystal should even be a server, she's not friendly and I believe she's a racist. She was trying to give away serving us to another person and that person replied to her saying she was the closer so Obviously she was not going home anytime soon !!! She wasn't even looking at my bi-racial child when she was ordering, she didn't acknowledge her in any way even forgetting her drinks and rudely slapped them on the table in front of her !!!! So rude read more

Very disappointed with the take-out service (using UBER Eats) that I received from Scaddabush, Queensway. On 2 occasions, June 22/22 & July 4/22 I did not receive the items I paid for. UBER says they will credit me $5.00 on my next delivery...this never happened. On both occasions I phoned Scaddabush Queensway and I was placed on hold for well over 20 minutes. During that time, I had explained my situation twice to the hostesses & then told to wait and speak with the General Manager, Brian. Before speaking with the GM my call was disconnected at least 2 times. Upon calling back I finally spoke with the GM, he apologized and explained that I would not be getting the missing paid items since the restaurant has no way of getting them to me, he never asked for my name or phone number and went on further to say that he could not credit me for the missing items. I had company on both occasions and they had heard the excuse of the General Manager and encouraged me to make a formal complaint. I have tried try to get in touch with Scaddabush head office but to no avail, I believe this poor service goes much further than a just bad luck and I certainly don't appreciate paying for items that were not received. I feel I should be compensated to say the least. read more

Very nice decor and lively ambience, although the noise level is on the higher side. Food is rather disappointing. We went on Monday afternoon for lunch. On the menu, it said fresh mozzarella is available from 5pm so we weren't going to order it but our server came and said "your fresh mozzarella is made by so-and-so" and wrote down the name on our table. So we tried ordering it when she came back for our orders but she said it wasn't available. Then why tell us it's being made?? Anyways, for the food: Bacon and egg pizza: it's basically a pizza with two Sunnyside up eggs that you're supposed to pop and spread it around before eating. It was a neat concept, but it tasted just like ordinary brunch. It has quite a bit of hot peppers so watch out if you don't like spice. Overall, it was okay, not mind-blowing. Pesto pasta: this one seriously lacked flavour. I expected the nutty, fragrant basil flavour, but my fettuccine came with a very runny, bland green sauce. The pasta itself was nice and fresh though. I think I'm going to stick with their mozzarella and meatball spaghetti if I ever decide to return. read more

The customer service here leaves something to be desired. I made reservations in advance online that were confirmed requesting a table at the bar and they keep changing the already confirmed reservations to say that my table will not be guaranteed. This is unfair and interferes with my plans. Don't allow people to make reservations online and confirm them, only to afterwards change them. Bad policies! I don't get why restaurants operate like this. Do you not want customers to return/give you positive reviews? Food is decent but very pricey for what you get. read more
