    The scrumptious lightly-fried whole young slim artichokes, after we already ate some of them :-)
    Rich S.

    Terrific pizza and salads, well-made strong drinks, good craft beer selection, semi-casual Italian dining, indoor and outdoor seating, great staff, plenty of parking! Last year at the 2024 Larchmere Porchfest music festival, Scorpaciatta Pasta Company served me a delicious slice of pizza, way better than i expected for festival food. So this year we planned a meal here. We parked in their free lot behind Scorpaciatta on Larchmere and walked into their semi-casual restaurant and bar at 6:30PM on a Friday with no reservation, the day before this year's nearby 2025 music festival (where this year's specials included a great muffuletta, a meatball sub, and two special spiked lemonades, and a live performance!). We got in just before the evening rush, and we were seated immediately, watching the 50-or-so indoor seats and 30-or-so outdoor seats fill pretty quickly, and the 10-seat bar, too. I got there a few minutes before the rest of my party, a bit inconsiderate I admit, and was welcomed promptly and courteously by the friendly attentive hostess and waiter. I ordered my drink off-menu, substituting a milder Americano for the ginned-up better-known Italian Count-Negroni, and the bartender made a delicious strong balanced $14 cocktail, smoothly bitter and slightly sweet and fizzy with a cleverly sculpted orange-peel garnish. My party ordered ice-cold craft beers from their broad list, including several locals and a Fat Head Head-Hunter IPA. We started with an app of slender young whole artichokes, very lightly fried, tender and savory with a roasted garlic aioli dipping sauce, and a sparse tasty sprinkling of pecorino and herbs, maybe parsley and oregano. A delicious treat with just enough to share for four to taste. One of us got a bright arugula goat-cheese salad, cleverly garnished with fresh sweet strawberries and snap-peas and a strawberried mint vinaigrette. We all had a taste of that, too, and envied that choice! We were committed to two hearty pizzas, 12-slices with a barely-charred crunchy thin and puffy-edged crust. It was sturdy enough to eat flat, and supple enough to fold New-York-style. One was the sizzly pepperoni-topped basil-seasoned cheese and Marzano-tomato-sauce pizza, and the other was their rich "sauceless" spring-mushroom pizza with plenty of fresh flavorful northeast-Ohio mushrooms, dense not-too-salty Kalamata olives, and a thick house-made tomato-jam instead of a wet sauce. There are additional creative apps, pastas, salads, cocktails, and N/A cocktails on their menu, too, as well as a nice selection of wines and spirits. We shared another round of drinks, and we could not finish the delicious pizzas without taking some home. Food and drink were ample and delicious. Staff is courteous and attentive and quick. The tables and bar area are comfortable and clean. This is a nice restaurant and bar, not a pizza dive. It's a good destination for very good food and drink.

    I came here with my family to Scorpacciata's brick and mortar and had a lovely time! We have been fans since their van Aken days, so we were pumped to try out their restaurant! The servers were accommodating and nice. The ambiance was more modern Italian American restaurant with a cozy vibe! We enjoyed all the food we ordered and had leftovers we enjoyed the next day!

    This I had a similar experience around Thanksgiving. My daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter were visiting from Connecticut, and we decided to dine out at a local restaurant. Given my proximity to Shaker Square, I walked to the establishment and arrived ahead of my family. As a 6 feet four, 250-pound individual, I didn't anticipate encountering any issues related to racism. However, upon entering the nearly empty restaurant, I was approached by a woman of color, likely the hostess, who inquired about my presence. I informed her that I had a reservation under a specific name, which she verified before offering to seat me. I requested a location that would accommodate our party of four, including a two-year-old, and minimize distractions. The hostess suggested a booth near the front, but I opted for a quieter area in the back. She claimed that section was reserved for a 5:30 PM booking, despite my reservation being made nearly 24 hours in advance. I found it peculiar that the hostess didn't attempt to accommodate my request, given the restaurant's emptiness. I wondered if racism or elitism played a role in her decision-making process, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. Scorpacciata! East 131st. Larchmere.

    The food was very good and very tasty. The service was very nice but slow and the salsa came out first and I ordered two appetizers. The ambiance is like a modern restaurant and a comic book a the wall.

    Fantastic! The new location is gorgeous and much-needed in the area. From the decor to the music to the staff and obviously the food, this place is top notch. Can't wait to go back.

    Linguine

    Good food, ok service. The pizza, mac n cheese, polenta fries, chicken parm, and cannoli were solid. The linguine was over seasoned, over salty, and greasy. Services was just Ok. Fun atmosphere, relatively noisy which was a plus for our family with kids.

Same hostess serves La Pecora and Barroco, so that was a bit awkward til we figured it out. And they do take reservations. Ok, now with the business out of the way...

Burrata salad could serve 4 as an appetizer. And our pizza was absolutely delicious. The pear was sliced so thinly that it was a nice balance to the pistachio rather than being overly sweet.

Now when it comes to the food!!! Omg I got the Margherita pizza and a side of meatballs for an app... AMAZING. The ingredients are so fresh I couldn't get over it. I was so satisfied but not weighed down like you usually would with ordinary pizza. If you appreciate authentic recipes and undeniably delicious food.. THATS FRESH .. I just had to reiterate. This is definitely a hidden gem of Cleveland must try!

I think it is a bit pricy for the size as the NY style is smaller pizza for around $15, but not too bad since they have lots of good flavor and topping varieties! I did not go inside so can't speak about ambiance or service but from what I heard both were good! It was very easy to order online and make any modifications needed which I appreciate. The crust is phenomenal!!!! Love the crisp on the Detroit style and it wasn't too heavy as I tend to avoid Detroit styles for that reason. Also, the NY style woodfired crust was amazing I wish the bottom was crispier but that's not their fault as this was a togo order! Definitely give this place a go if you want something woodfired for good price and high quality specialty pizzas !

I am not a big dude but I smashed almost all of it. I couldn't stop. Not sure if they replace the cheese with crack but looking at the pictures I start drooling
