I'm surprised at all the positive reviews to be honest ? Scopa has the potential to be a great place.The appetizer & salad were excellent.The veil parm was not impressive at all, it seemed thrown together in a hurry? The pasta wasn't cooked properly and veal was flavorless covered with cheese & ??.The "special" rack of lamb was just as disappointing.It was only 4 chops, not 8 for $33.00 !! Like the veal, it was also flavorless with a distant hint of rosemary.The cook is obviously doing it for a paycheck only.The service & waitress were excellent. Step up your game Scopa ! read more

Scopa is a gem in Lynn! The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing. My pasta was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and beautifully plated. Great atmosphere and quality all around can't wait to come back! read more

Scopa - Italian Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

Ordered fried ravioli but was surprised the filling was ricotta. One and done. The beer selection is VERY limited. They don't even have Budweiser, just Bud Light. Sat at the bar but felt constricted in movement even though it wasn't packed. read more

Scopa is the best I would go once a week if I could delicious food dynamite drinks wonderful wait STAFF

This was my third time at Scopa and it was fantastic as usual! My friend and I were seated in the newly enclosed area in the back, right by the window, which was perfect since the sun was about to set. Our meal was delicious, we had eggplant rollatini for an appetizer, I had the seared scallops, which were so tender and yummy! Our server Toni was an absolute doll, very friendly and helpful with any menu questions we had. She was attentive but not overbearing, she did not hover over us during our dinner. As we were leaving I did mention how great she was to the owner who was at the front entrance, they are very lucky to have such a lovely and bubbly young lady as a part of their staff read more

Delicious local spot for a great Italian dinner! Definitely make a reservation, but the bar is also a great choice! read more

Excellent food and the service was on point!!! Caught up with old friends and felt no pressure to rush!!!

Scopa is a cute place, however, i dined there for Easter and ordered a RACK of lamb (on special menu) i got two lamb chops, i called the waitress over and asked why only two she said it is actually 4. Very Very disappointed and misleading. I have ordered racks of lambs before and a rack should at least be 8 chops. we also ordered the orecchiette pasta dish which was very over seasoned. The wait staff was very nice. and just for record, the first time we dined there last year, everything was ok. Me, read more

Staff is amazing! Food is amazing! Atmosphere is amazing! Would highly recommend! A+++.......

Nice bar, good food, meh bartender. (The first time I was there the bartender was great) The basket of bread was very good, which many restaurants have stopped. The meals were good and moderately priced. It is very noisy on the busier nights, but all in all, a nice little restaurant. read more

Best brunch in town has arrived. Service was 10/10 the drinks were superb and everything was cooked to perfection. They even were able to make the pancakes chocolate chip for the little one! read more

First time visit to Scopa last week based on a friend's recommendation. Pros: Cozy atmosphere, well decorated. Smaller place, but pleasant atmosphere. Food was very good. Menu is small, but with some variety so you should find something for anyone in your party. Cons: Service was just ok. Place was pretty empty when we arrived, but quickly filled up. We noticed only after we already ate our appetizer that all the other tables were promptly given a basket of bread, and we were not. Had to request one with our dinners, since no one came over until then. Drinks were not refilled until we chased down the server, which was a challenge. No one checked in after the dinners were served (hence no awareness that we needed a drink refill. ) Overall jury is out on a return visit. read more

This was 2nd time here and I was not impresses. Very small space even with outside seating. The place was full. The service was friendly but slow. It took a half hour to get our drink order and the 2nd drink did not come until we were finished. I ordered bolognese? The ravioli was good and sauce taste but it was really a meat sauce not what you would expect for bolognese. Inside is very noisy and hard to talk. Outside more spacious but was chilly. There are better Italian places nearby. read more

Love this place! They have the BEST chicken piccata, such a nice and friendly atmosphere. The service was great. I will definitely be back!

This review is courtesy of my 7 year old who said the shrimp here was amazing. The cannoli for dessert was also delicious

Great pork chop good drinks will definitely be back to try something new seating is a little tight but no big deal lemonchello cake was also delicious read more

I Ordered the scopa haddock with no capers. The dish comes out with capers. I tried the food and it was very salty. I told the waitress and she took it back to the kitchen and they brought the dish out minutes later. They took the capers off of the food and gave me the same food as you could see from where I took the bite. It was not good. Not impress. Also never asked if we wanted a second round of drinks. read more

This was our first time at Scopa's on a Sunday night. The restaurant itself is newly renovated with a nice view of the nearby estuary. Our server, Tatiana was excellent and gave us the time to settle in. the calamari was plentiful and tasty. As a new restaurant, I think they are working out the kinks. My wife's seafood Del Mar was soupy and short of pasta; my raviolis were very good with a nice marinara sauce. The cocktail and wine menu seemed limited but the choices were fine. Would definitely return. read more

The service is excellent but did not love the chicken broccoli... it's made with tomatoes which makes it soupy. I would go back and give it another try. Crab cakes were delish! read more

Went to Scopa last night with a few friends. Heard some great things about this new restaurant in town. It lived up to the hype. Our table was outside on the deck great spot overlooking the river as the sun was setting. Juan was our server he was fantastic,there were 10 of us and he did a great job of getting us everything we wanted We ordered several appetizers including the Fried calamari and Prosciutto Rollatini. The bread came out with a pesto dipping sauce and was fantastic. My wife had the Linguine and mussels and I tried the Seafood Risotto both were outstanding. We all had a limoncello shot after the meal and the owner stopped by to say hi and offered us a few desserts to try afterwards as well. All in all it was a very good experience. We will be going back to try other dishes soon. read more

Going to an "Italian" restaurant in Lynn was my first mistake! The place is has a bunch of low class locals from Lynn and the food is about Italian as the olive garden! Scopa haddock was supposed to come with risotto, but instead got plain watery white rice! The sauce on the chicken Parm is terrible and the orecchiette pasta with sausage is not orecchiette but large shells and the sauce is all oil. Don't bother read more

Had to try after seeing several delectable looking dishes on local food groups. Our meal definitely did not disappoint! We started with a burrata appetizer on special and we each ordered a drink. For dinner, my partner had the carbonara and I had the orecchiette with sausage. Both tasted fantastic and the portions were generous. We will definitely be back, but next time will make a reservation in advance. Would highly recommend!! read more

This was delicious! We sat at the bar and the ambiance was nice for our date night. The bartenders were very attentive. We had muscles (ask for the chefs special sauce- yum!), fried calamari which was fried perfectly and caprese which had a nice flavorful twist. We are very satisfied and will be back to try some risotto soon! read more

We went to Scopa last night the food was excellent. I had the chicken parm and my husband had the bolognese. It came out hot and delicious. The gravy tasted just like my grandma used to make. The service was excellent. The bartender couldn't have done enough. The place was pretty and the owner Tyler was so personable. I will be a regular here. read more

The drinks and food were amazing! The portions were large and we loved the marinara sauce. The meatballs appetizer was large and absolutely delicious. We had eggplant and veal parmigiana which were both wonderful. However the service was not great! The management needs to be aware that the waitress service needs to be improved. read more

The restaurant is bright, clean and has a water view with an outdoor patio. Best Italian food I've ever had and top notch waitstaff!

we went for dinner our first time here and sat at the bar. the food was great and so was the atmosphere but by far the very best part was our bartender Kristin! She was so personabl, attentive and really knew how to make a drink! I recommend this place to anyone and if you have the chance for Kristin to wait on you and make a fantastic drink even better! Great job all around read more

Food was great. We sat outside and it had a nice view. Service for drinks was slow, but it had just opened.

Great! Great! Although the place is a little small, I Love this new restaurant. I've been there two times and wasn't disappointed. I had haddock with lobster and crab topping. Very good. Lobster risotto is excellent! Cocktails and wines are great. Bartenders are great! Can't wait to go back. read more

Sadly we didn't consider our friends poor review before dining recently. Our party was very disappointed in everything except the service. The restaurant is tiny. With too many tables crammed into a small space. Even high tops jammed in behind bar seats, making that area very tight. But you eat out for the food, right? Well take a pass on this place. You can get way better Italian at 20 places within ten miles. Eggplant app swimming in so much cheese it was drooling off the plate. And the eggplant was flavorless and mushy. Salad was weirdly chopped, stem and all. Also covered in two kinds of parm, shaved and grated. Which is weird and just made for a dry salad. One entree was clearly microwaved - burning hot - in a very oily sauce. Another entree had so much lemon you could barely taste anything else. And the risotto, as mentioned on another post here, is NOT risotto. It was undercooked, flavorless plain rice. I'd be surprised if this place remained open for another 6 months. read more

Went here opening night. They did an amazing job with the interior. Nice dining room and bar area with TVs. Food and service were exceptional. One of the best chicken parm's i've had in a long time! read more
