Excellent charity bread, but it was a bit overpriced. I ordered giant meatball pasta. The meatball was not nearly, remotely, closely, resembling, at all "giant" in any way shape or form. Also, I asked for no cheese but they put cheese on it anyway. Ambience was nice though! read more

Jan. 2, 2018 it's a nice place and I heard a lot of ppl say they like it here. Also I've seen some of my friends snaps, they practically lived there in the summer. So finally I decide to go with a friend. The service was fast, we asked for a booth and got one immediately. It wasn't loud or noisy.. my friend had gone there a few times and he always orders the he same thing. But this time he tried something different.. he liked the pasta but wasn't a fan of it. I liked my burger it was good. I wonder what ppl consider the best dishes at Scaddabush read more

I've been here quite a few times since it's in the neighbourhood. My favourite thing on the menu is definitely the tomato parmesan soup!! It's amazing and delish. I've also tried the Sophia and diavolo pizzas, which are okay, definitely need some chili flakes on top. I most recently tried the roasted fennel and sausage fettuccine which I found to be just okay. The cream sauce was great but that's about it. read more

Scaddabush - Roasted fennel and sausage fettuccine - Italian Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

The food here is pretty good but the kids meal chocolate ice cream makes it worth coming back for haha...it is quite busy, loud and dark which isn't really my thing but it's a good and pretty decent priced Italian restaurant. I would recommend their salads but not their garlic fries (they are just overpriced normal prices with garlic powder that you can barely taste). read more

We came here for a holiday lunch and although the service was fantastic, the food was not up to par. For appetizers we had calamari (they only had one order left...) and bruschetta which was just average. I ordered the roasted fennel and sausage fettuccine and boy was it disappointing. There wasn't much flavour to it except for a spiciness of chillies in there. The noodles were over cooked and soggy which led it to be clumped up together. It was difficult to separate which is not how i would want to eat fettuccine. If the fettuccine was al dente, I think I would have preferred my dish a little bit more. read more

great service, Anastasia was an amazing server and was amazing with our large group!! she was so kind funny and attentive.

First things first. Get here early if you planning on eating at 6ish on a Saturday. Very, very hard to get parking. We got a table right away (only 3 of us). Took 14 min til a waiter came for our drink order and he was surprised we did not see our waitress yet. Ordered the spinach and artichoke dip and charity classic bread as apps. Very good I thought. Mains were the speghetti and meat ball, and the chicken avocado blt with a mixed salad. The speghetti I thought was under cooked and tasted a bit like Chef boyardee. The meat ball was a half pound and reminded me of tomato soup for am odd reason. My sandwich was real good and loved my Salad. I might come back but not likely anytime soon. read more

so we had to wait half an hour for our table. that was fine. when we were seated we were pit in the bar area. we weren't told that when we were waiting. if we wanted a table it would be a longer wait. after sitting for half an hour already. We were giving this restaurant a second chance. we won't be giving them a third. Over priced and under delivered. read more

Reservations are a must especially on the weekends. I ordered the Shrimp Spaghetti and the lemon wine cream was so overpowering all I could taste was the sour citrus taste from the lemon. It is quite dark in the restaurant and is extremely hard to flag down a waitress. read more

I've been coming to Scaddabush for years! Nikki has always served me, she is AMAZING! Very attentive to detail, friendly and fast. I wouldn't want another bartender. If I don't see her behind the bar I'm going across the street to moxies. read more

Service was fast but no bread with main !!! I repeat a Italian food joint that don't give bread with pasta !! That gotta be a first !!!

My wife and I ordered one of the special meal plans tonight for dinner. This was the best takeout we have had in a long time. There was enough food to feed a small army. The quality of food was amazing! The price was the cherry on top, fantastic all around. We have eaten inside (pre-COVID) and now takeout. This is by far the best Scaddabush location in Ontario. Keep up the great work, can't wait till our next order. Cheers to the Progress staff, and thank you! read more

Delicious food and good service. I love their pizza but I got the spaghetti this time. Not quite sure what the loaded meatball is because I didn't notice anything "loaded", but it was still very good. read more

Ordered through skip and scaddabush forgot to pack one of my order and was put on hold for a whole 10 minute just to say they can't do anything about it as it is not on store level. How is a restaurant's mistake not on store level? I just wanted my calamari!! read more

Terrible services, will give zero star if possible. My spouse and I walked in at 5:30pm it isn't busy at all, the 2 waitress didn't event bother looking at us, kept us standing there for a minutes until we ask to be seated. Even worst at the dining table no server attended us for a good 15mins and we finally walked out the restaurant. It's the last time we will ever visit the chain. read more

The hostesses need some work here. I called a day in advance to book a birthday dinner for four. She asked me if I preferred a table inside, even for my name and number. With clarification, I was given the green light. I called the next day to confirm my reservation, and my time slot was no where to be found. This being a birthday dinner and with almost every restaurant in the area packed, I was disappointed in the lack of organization and communication. read more

This is a gem in Scarborough. The staff are very nice. There is never a point where we're waiting long for the bill, a napkin or water(trust me I come here a lot) What I've tried & loved: pesto pollo fettuccine (probably my favourite thing on the menu), baked penne carbonara (because who doesn't like Parmesan pasta with poached egg on top AND BACON!!!), Americano pizza, Sophia pizza, chicken Parmesan sandwich (if you're here for lunch - definitely get this). And the sociables (smaller dishes) that I loved include: ofcourse the calamari and the zucchini fritti. If you're trying to be healthy I suggest the tuscan salad with salmon on the side (I even get this for take out that's how much I love it). read more

We were treated to a Pizza+Pasta shareable bundle. We picked up our order at the Scarborough Town Centre location. The bundle was amazing. Best takeout we have experienced. From the presentation in the take-out containers, to the quantity and quality of the food - we were impressed. The bundle is for 4, but I think there is enough food for 8 - so we have lots and lots of leftovers to enjoy. Will definitely order from Scaddabush Scarborough again. Trying to edit as the review shows me being in San Francisco - actually in North York/Toronto, Ontario. read more

The butter garlic bread is quite enjoyable, not much you can go wrong when there is butter and garlic. Meatball appy is a bit bland. Caesar salad was pretty fresh. Tomato caper salmon was dry and bland, although the veggies were again very fresh. I asked for medium cooked salmon but came out well done. The servers were nice and friendly, but the food came out really really slow, hence a mediocore overall experience. read more

The lobster spaghetti was very delicious. I always enjoy their freshly made pastas. I love the chewy al donte texture, and the way they grate the cheese and grind the pepper right in front of you when the dish is served. Even though Sacaddabush is a corporately run chain, the quality of their food doesn't feel that way. Their customer service is great even when the place is packed. I had a good experience at this location and will be looking forward to my next visit. read more

This was my first time to the Scarborough location of Scaddabush, and while I enjoyed the other locations I've been to, the food here was simply okay. I would recommend making reservations for weekends (luckily, my friend and I had one); soon after we sat down, at around 7:00 p.m. and onwards, there was a long line to get seated. SERVICE: Our waitress was fantastic - she checked in on us often and had an upbeat attitude! APPETIZER: Naked Mozzarella *Recommend* Scaddabush's mozzarella was and continues to be incredibly delicious - hand-pulled and perfectly soft yet chewy. The accompanied garlic bread was flavourful, while not being overly buttery/oily. One of the best parts about this dish was surprisingly, the fig/tomato jam. When spread across the garlic bread and topped with mozzarella, you get one delicious bite. MAIN: Summer Special - Chicken Cacciatore Brodo This was featured on their Summer Menu, and while the photo on the menu looked very appetizing, the dish itself was rather disappointing. The spaghetti was overcooked, which was particularly upsetting since the dish was already in a broth (ie. everything seemed rather soggy and lacking any sort of texture). Also, there weren't too many pieces of chicken and the broth was on the saltier side. Although I would not come back for the Chicken Cacciatore Brodo, I would certainly come back for their fresh mozzarella and another pasta dish! read more

Great place server was a beautiful young girl with excellent customer service skills . I am in the restaurant industry & some of these younger servers just don't have what it takes ...however this one was a diamond she really impressed me & my family ... she had long black hair very pretty African American young lady... wish I got her name believe me she needs to be on your front line She is a fabulous server my experience in this business is that if more servers were like this young lady more places would be successful ... it's not all about the food Food was great!!!! However she made it so much better... Mozzarella balls are to die for & Omg the meatballs were so good Gotta say I was very happy with this place... its a 5 star for me Will definitely be back & hope to have that server again.... she was on the ball read more

I am a big fan of Scaddabush in general, and this was my first time at this location. Firstly, they do not take reservations past 5pm, which I literally cannot comprehend! So we walked in, left our name, waited in the area; then when they contacted us to tell us our table was ready, we hurried over and still waited about 20 minutes for our table to be set up...no sense of urgency whatsoever. Staff was very friendly, but the entire atmosphere was so chaotic and I think we were served by about 6 different staff over a few hours. It is extremely loud in there as well. Staff was nice enough to bring birthday desserts for multiple people at our table. Like I said, I generally love the food here but this time it was not great; the baked penne carbonara was so salty, overcooked pasta yet undercooked bacon. I will say the portions at this place are amazingly big, and I have always left with leftovers to take home. So yes they are a bit pricey, but considering the portions, I don't mind. Conclusion: this location is just way too busy, and as a result their quality of food and service declines. They should just turn away people if they cannot accommodate, because there is a constant crowd at the front door who just loudly complain that they have been waiting for so long. As a result, parking is also a nightmare. I think this could be avoided if they just took reservations and turned away walk ins that they cannot fit! read more

Food 3.5/5 (60% of final grade) The pasta portions are just right, but if you are REALLY hungry, I recommend getting one of their pizzas-- it comes on a very nice serving block with its own pair of scissors so that you can cut your pizza! Scaddabush also has their in-house special mozzarella. I tried it and it was a solid 3/5-- nothing too fancy, but it was cool to have a clementine-sized ball of mozzarella with other pairings with it. I especially recommend the roasted fennel and sausage fettuccine! Their meatballs are fist-sized, but not totally delectable or anything. I don't find myself craving their food, but their food is pretty instagram-able in presentation. Ambiance 4/5 (10% of final grade) Loud enough to be comfortable, but not blaring over conversations. Scaddabush has an amazing ambiance with it! It's a very chic-yet-classic, dimly-lit, Italian restaurant not intended for a casual family dinner. I imagine people going to Scaddabush for a girl's night out, intimate parties, holiday dinners, or dates. There's a cineplex right within walkable distance inside a mall, so it's pretty ideal for a casual date. Service 4/5 (10% of final grade) The servers are not only fashionable, but amiable as well! They always keep the water re-filled, if not promptly refilled upon request for more. Naturally, if you go in smaller groups you'll get more attentive service, but they always seem to care enough to ask genuinely how you thought the food was. When I got a lemon sorbet that was a tad sour for me, she even offered to switch it to the raspberry one instead. While I didn't take her up on her offer, it was still incredibly thoughtful of her to do so. Cost 2.5/5 (10% of final grade) I seem to spend a pretty penny every time I go, but that might be because I order too much just to try everything. If you are looking for an entree only, budget around $25 per person. If you are looking for more, $60 per person would be very realistic. For the quality of the experience, I think that the price is fair. Not a place for comfort food though, but a place to dress just a little bit fancier for. Brownie Points 4/5 (10% of final grade) For the service, yes, but mostly for the fact that this is the only place I would really go to for a girl's night out in the area. There simply aren't that many places within a few kilometres that can provide the experience Scaddabush does. Final Grade = 71/100 = 4 Stars TLDR: Come here for mostly the ambiance and that one dish you'll fall in love with. Heck, the ambiance is nice enough that you might fall in love (again?) with the person you're dining with. Don't go alone though, that's lonely. read more

I came here for a farewell lunch with my coworkers. Basically a very large party for the craziest time of day. Service was very good, I think they're truly taking into consideration all the bad reviews they've received based on service and are trying to improve. Janelle our server was very attentive, sociable, and informative. We ordered the sociables to share and the standout was definitely the mozzarella. It was very moist and flavourful, definitely a must have. Second would be the meatball, which I found delicious, and the chicken parm bites. I had the Peach Bellini and that was very yummy; pretty much an upgrade in quality to the Miletsone's version. The pastas and pizzas were a bit more lackluster than the appetizers, which seems to be the general consensus on here. I had the Sophia pizza, which lacked flavour surprisingly. The Pomodoro my coworker got tasted much more flavourful (albeit spicy). I would definitely get that one next time or try the Lobster Spaghetti. The Pesto Pollo Fettuccine also missed the mark in its sauce. However the Chocolate Toffee Jar Cake tasted great. Yes it does taste like a higher quality McCain cake, but who cares it tastes great. I think this place is very good for large parties and a good option for a chain trying to provide a bit more quality than the average restaurant. One thing I must say, that although sometimes dishes may not have worked (or were lackluster) the quality of the ingredients never felt cheap. I think the price point is a bit more expensive than average, but not by much especially when you take into consideration the portions & quality their presenting commercially. I mean Jack Astor's Asiago Bow Ties will cost you $18.46 and that's not even fresh pasta made in-house! People need to understand food prices have increased and unless you haven't been in a restaurant in the past 20 years, there's no reason to complain about price (big pet peeve). Although this isn't the best Italian restaurant in Toronto it's definitely a good attempt at bringing quality products onto a commercial platform and I'll definitely be visiting again. read more

Scaddabush - Peach Bellini! Delicious. - Italian Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

the food was excellent. left me full. and Prashant was a fantastic server who was always there when needed. thank you for the great time

I gave this place a chance today with two of my friends and I have to say that I was not impressed. My friends got the "Baked Carbonara" and the "Burrata" while I got the "Calamari Fritti", "Lobster Spaghetti" and a "Gelato". First off the Calamari. The appeal was basically non existent, basically just put into a bag and served on a board with a lemon and two different sauces - "salsa verde aïoli" and "fresh tomato chili dip". It also wasn't breaded properly where huge clumps of calamari portions were just stuck together, making the taste also poor. *Appeal - 2/10 *Taste - 3/10 Next up is the Lobster Spaghetti. I can't really say much about this dish other than it was alright. Nothing to special about it. It's not great nor bad. Just a really bland dish. In my opinion you're better off spending 30$ on something else. *Appeal - 5/10 *Taste - 5/10 The Gelato. It had two flavours - Vanilla or Chocolate, I got the chocolate. The appeal of this was laughable at best, just three scoops of ice cream unto a square plate bowl. The taste was just average. *Appeal 2/10 *Taste 5/10 As for what my friends got. I only took a bite out of each just out of curiosity. I would say the Burrata would be a 4/10 for me only because it was not to my personal taste. You may like it but i just did not unfortunately. As for the Baked Carbonara I would say it was the best dish by far. It was really tasty a solid 8/10. Lastly the service. Our waitress was very kind and would check up on us often, solid service. However one of the servers which I would assume to be one of the front of house managers considering she was not in full server uniform, had the audacity to snap at me when I accidentally bumped a butter knife off my table with my elbow saying "Wow you're just going to start throwing things around now." with a sassy tone. That is a great way to treat your customers considering your restaurant just opened a couple days ago. Real smart move 10/10. Overall this place was sadly a huge waste of $60+. You would be better off spending your money on any of the other "casual fine dining" restaurants in the area. Definitely would not be coming back here. read more

I went to this restaurant twice and walked out because of the poor service. Third time I was determined to stick it out even though the service was still ridiculous and slow with and almost empty restaurant. Staff all over in groups chatting to each other. Food was WAY overpriced. I've had enough. Won't be back. read more

I came here with two friends to catch up over some food and wine. We usually go to Jack Astor's, but upon arrival decided to try Scaddabush instead for something different. It was a weekday evening and wasn't too busy, but the service we received was terrible. We decided to share the Garlic Charity Bread which donates proceeds to a local charity, and the Fresh Mozzarella with Prosciutto. The bread was good, but the mozzarella was the star of the evening. I ordered the Straight Up Meatball, but thought it was way too rich for my taste. One friend ordered the Zucca Ravioli and the other one ordered a Margherita pizza. The butternut squash pasta was really good and the pizza was nothing special. Overall, I don't think I will be back any time soon for my own taste. I expected more from this place. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't empty but it wasn't too busy. I got the zucca ravioli and I really enjoyed it. I also got a mango peach Bellini and it was so good. We had such a cool server, his name was Tristan he was great, really friendly. My food came promptly and was good for the price. I would definitely come again read more

Scaddabush - Mango peach bellini - Italian Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Strike three, you're out. Unfortunate because I was really looking forward to scaddabush opening up in Scarborough. 1. We ordered a bottle of wine. Came after our appetizers and get this.... After our mains. Ridiculous right? 2. I specifically asked for stuffed meatball on some spaghetti. Waitress even asked if I wanted extra meat sauce for my spaghetti. She brings only the meatball (no spaghetti). 3. Probably the worst of them all. Friend ordered a pasta dish and they got it all wrong. Instead of bringing back a completely new and the correct dish, they brought back the original dish just touched up. Really gross. The manager had the audacity to lie and say she was back there and that didn't happen. But I'm a yelper, I take pictures of my food before I eat it. Showed her a pic of the original dish and she continued to defend. Really unfortunate because all the dishes we got (bumba burrata, stuffed meatball, avocado and goat cheese bruschetta) were really yummy. If only the service could be at par. read more

2nd time going but different location. Seems like they change their menu up. I ordered the calimari that look like the pics (they now have calimari miso, which is a mixed with battered veggies). The entire appetizer was a sham. There was barely any calimari and the ones that were in the dish were the size of my thumbnail. We returned it and got it comped. We ordered the fresh mozzarella with proscuitto, for the price $18+, I wouldn't order it again. Even though the portion was decent, it cost more than our main meal. I ordered penne bolognese (I should have read the menu better) as I was craving spaghetti Bolognese (barely any meat) and would have changed it to spaghetti. Don't think it would have mattered as the sauce was bland and my pasta was overcooked. So was my husband's pesto chicken fettuccine, bland and overcooked, clumpy dry pasta dish. If I wasn't feeling so lazy, I would have just cooked at home and made a bomb ass pasta dish. They share washrooms with jack Astor that is attached. The facilities are disgusting. If they kept it clean and tidy it would be nice, as the stalls are all private. read more

I like the food but one time my friend ordered goat cheese salad and her salad came with no goat cheese on it at all and the waiter didn't bring her goat cheese until she asked for the second time. Who orders a goat cheese salad for just the salad? Honestly I've never seen anything so offensive. #JusticeForGoatCheeseSalad read more

Visited twice during opening week with a friend. Unfortunately, the vegan menu options were scarce (to be expected when dining at an Italian restaurant) but there were a few options for vegetarians. We were huge fans of the avacado & goat cheese bruschetta and the focaccia crostini served with the spinach & artichoke dip was absolutely delicious. Also, huge thumbs up for being the only restaurant I've come across to charge me $2 less for my entree after removing the chicken. Why don't more restaurants do this? My only complaint (and this is a big one) was the overwhelming amount of hovering and interrupting from the staff. My friend and I were interrupted several times by both staff and management, each time mid-sentence, to see how we were doing. Normally I would appreciate an attentive server, but this was simply irritating as we barely had a chance to lift our forks to our mouths for our first bite before being asked what we thought of the food. read more

I came here for a work dinner and later came back for another visit because I enjoyed the food and service so much! As far as restaurants in Scarborough goes, this is one of the few I really enjoy. Prices are reasonable compared to other Italian restaurants I've been to however can still get pricey depending on what you order. I suggest skipping their pizza, it's not going to be the traditional Italian style. I found the crust not very tasty and it didn't wow me. I would rather save pizza cravings for another time. Instead I found their pasta and mozzarella the highlight of each visit. I fell in love and I mean IN LOVE with their butternut squash ravioli. I crave it. I am usually not a huge pasta fan but that dish is one of my top favourites. Their fresh mozzarella is very good-the truffle oil with honey is my favourite over the meat sausage one. Make sure you take a seat at the bar in the back to watch them make it. Don't load up on too much bread (they don't serve you bread while you're waiting) but in case you decide to order some, their garlic bread is heavy and looks very filling. They make good drinks too! We found the service great each time we've gone, we had a awesome waiter. Looking forward to going back! read more

Always such crappy and slow service here. The wait for COVID screening was long since the guy at the front wasn't sure what he was doing. He took forever to ask questions and screen people in. It was raining and there was no overhead cover. We stood in line waiting for this seemingly lazy and unenthusiastic worker in the rain. When we finally got to him, he barely greeted us and seemed annoyed. We got through our questions and had to wait for them to clean the tables. When we finally got to our tables, the chair was filled with cheese and crumbs. I had to ask to get a napkin and wipe it down myself. When our waitress finally came, she also seemed like she didn't want to be there. Our drinks took forever to come, our apps took forever, and our mains came an hour after we sat down. I was confused because the restaurant was not busy! Our waitress (#115 since there's no name listed in the receipt?) did not even apologize for the wait. She was not attentive and didn't care for her guests. The food was okay. Also, there were zero paper towels in the bathroom and most stalls were gross. It was not sanitary and service was awful. Food was subpar. After covid and reopening their restaurant, you would think they would put a little extra effort in welcoming back patrons. read more

I liked the Signature Meatball. They serve classic Signature Meatballs and also ones that are stuffed. I chose the stuffed one to try. It was stuffed with cheese and pepperoni! I hadn't had such a big meatball like that before. I really liked it since the meat was very tender and you could taste the cheese and pepperoni sausage embedded inside the meatball. You really have to try this out for yourself to see what it's like! read more

This review is for the new Scarborough location, from July 2016 (delayed review, sorry!). Beautiful patio - not as beautiful as Mississauga, but better than Toronto downtown! Very nice ambiance. Service could be better (faster), but there are good choices for food and drinks. This is a great date spot, or if you're having a birthday dinner, etc. Its a little upscale (so expect pricier options) so its perfect for a special occasion. The inside decor is just as beautiful, so I would love to come again during the winter! Food: mozzarella ball to start (very good, but they were super delayed in bringing us extra bread), crusted snapper (really good), and meatball sandwich (delicious!!!). Everything was really tasty, but rich and carb-y (sides of bread, fries, and potatoes). Drinks: There's a variety of good options. I had one drink that I really didn't like but of course I don't remember the name. Just saying that not everything is good. I'd definitely come here again if I'm looking for something a bit fancier and trendy in Scarborough. read more
