Scopa

I made it! I have been wanting to get to Monte's for a long time. Finally made it today and it was…read morewell worth it. We pulled up and immediately saw the side parking lot was busy and full. I was able to get a spot right near the bridge to run in and get my take-out order. Upon entering, I realized it was "cash" only. I was a bit aggravated but that is the business's decision and that goes place to place. Who am I to decided how they would operate. Anyway, there is an ATM machine right in the lobby for customers with debit cards, credit cards or some other way to pay. My two cheese pizzas (one with extra sauce) was ready when I arrived so I got my cash and was out of there. When I finally was able to eat the pizza with my wife...boy, we were both happy and excited. The pizza was awesome. Great crust, fresh dough, awesome sauce and fresh cheese. I liked the size of the pizza and the price reflected that! Monte's has tables and booths inside but I took my to go, after a long day at the beach. They also have a bar. I would say 10-12 seats with Keno and a big TV. The service was swift and the lady that I dealth with was great! Price: low (this day and age) Vibe: easy going....family orientated Pepsi/Coke: I am not sure, I did not get a drink because they only offered 2 liters. Parking: Easy and some street parking, if needed Will I be back: Definitely, if I am in the area, I would be sure to be back

Hmmmm. This is a tough one. Visiting the area from Texas, I came here like others based on the 10…read morescore from One Bite. I can only assume Portnoy either has a connection to this spot or he lost a bet. I did the lunch special, half pepperoni pizza and a side salad. For the price, $9.50, it was fine but not worth the drive. I'd rate it 5.1; very thin, almost no sauce and greasy. The salad was fine. The waitress was an older lady, very Boston but friendly. She is what kept this from a 2 star review. Like others mention, parking is tight and the place seems to attract an older crowd. I watched an old man back into a truck while leaving. So be careful where you park.

The sauce is perfect, and the crust is cooked to perfection. The owner Tony was really kind and made great recommendations. As for the spot itself it's right on the main drag with a great view of Boston, and awesome outdoor seating when it's warm out. On another note I'm surprised by the Portnoy Rating, I thought the pizza was far better than the score he gave. I'm looking forward to getting Volo again really soon!

Scopa is hands down one of the best spots in town! Every time I walk through the door, Matt and Tyler go above and beyond to make sure I have an amazing experience. Their attention to detail, warm hospitality, and top-tier service make every visit feel special. The food is consistently incredible, the cocktails are expertly crafted, and the ambiance is always spot on. Whether it's a casual night out or a special occasion, Scopa never disappoints. Can't recommend it enough! read more

I've been a regular customer since they opened (less than 2 years ago). This place is a must try! Homemade and authentic Italian. The owner is simply amazing. He went above and beyond when he didn't have to. I fell ill and haven't been able to work (not restaurant related). Since the owner knew I was a regular, he decided to take it upon himself and hold a fundraiser for me. I have no words to explain exactly how much this meant to me. read more

Some of the occasional negative reviews of this place are shameful and totally unworthy from my experience. The gnocchi in "the Little Store Gnocchi" dish was melt in your mouth perfection. Best I ever had in the USA (I have been to Italy 40+ times). The mushrooms, truffle oil and Alfredo-like sauce (it's better than classic Alfredo ... smoother, less sticky, less fatty, more garlicky - and scrumptious... it was so tasty, I could drink the remnants like a divine soup -- and frankly, I did! The Veal Marsala was tender and seasoned perfectly, coated in tasty mushrooms and a dark Marsala sauce that was done with just the right balance of sweet and savory. My wife had the Seafood Di Mare that was piled high in a skillet full of calamari, shrimp, mussels and scallops on top of homemade fettuccine. The white wine sauce this was bathing in was a little tame for the magnitude of the dish - good, just not spectacular. All in all, we loved our food so much that we ordered a Haddock Francese "to go" so we can have it the following night and expand our Little Store palate. The ambiance is cute and quaint, old school pictures on the wall in unmatched frames that you would find at a garage sale. I felt like I was in a neighborhood ristorante in Tuscany. We saw only 1 employee all night and she was a hustler (in a great way). She did everything ... never stopped buzzing around to take care of a full restaurant-- not to mention a thriving takeout business (folks ... please tip this gal even when ordering takeout - she is busting her tail for you!). I love the BYOB approach because I always have lots of wine at the house - I don't need to spend an additional $100 on a $40 bottle of wine when I go out. One last comment - this is an adorable romantic place - unless the guests who visit make it otherwise. I was there with my wife, as were several other husbands enjoying a relatively quiet night out with their significant others. One younger group of 5 friends took the center table, and as the alcohol consumption rose, the volume crescendoed to the point of shouting just to be heard. A neighboring gentleman intervened and asked one particular girl to please stop shouting. He was right to do this - and to the girl's credit, she apologized and the rest of the evening was so pleasant. I say this just to remind people - restaurants are only as pleasant and romantic as the guests who honor them. By all means - celebrate life and friendship ... but be wary of your surroundings when your neighbors are just an arm's length away. God bless the Little Store -- Marbleheaders are sooooo lucky to have her !

We wanted to keep everything local, and since my son loves Gallo Nero, I decided to stop in and explore...and learned exactly why he loves it here! I was warmly greeted by Bella and another gentleman who were both incredibly helpful and gracious. Planning food for a large group can be challenging, and it was wonderful to have people who truly care, offer suggestions, and take pride in what they do. I placed my order the day before, and Bella was fantastic -- she was patient, kind, and repeated everything back to make sure it was perfect. The day of the party, I got a little nervous that we had ordered too much and called about an hour before delivery to make a small adjustment. Once again, Bella was so accommodating, especially knowing how busy they were. The pizzas were personally delivered by the gentleman I had met in the store earlier (possibly one of the owners), which was such a nice touch and really says a lot about the pride they take in their business. Everyone loved the pizzas! Nice thin crust (but not too thin pizza), toppings were so flavorful. Plus it always amazes me how the classics -- cheese and pepperoni -- are still the biggest hits. I can't wait to come back and enjoy dinner at Gallo Nero with my husband and son. The restaurant looks charming and inviting, and I love their menu.
