Meatball pizza was all sauce and very little mozzarella. Crust was nice and crispy and the ingredients all tasted fresh but the proportions were off. Not sure if that is the style they are going for but I would recommend not trying the meatball. read more

Tried their clam linguine, a nice little Italian food store (or a hidden gem) within the Van Akon Plaza. Love the fresh pasta, nice sauce and clam. Would return for more read more

This pasta restaurant is located inside the new Van Aken Market Hall. Basically the Market Hall is a bunch of vendors with their little stations that you can order things at and either sit on a couple of bar stools or move to a bigger communal seating area. So while each dish is made fresh it's still a pretty casual move about environment. I sat at the counter and chatted a little with the owners who seemed pleasant. I enjoyed seeing them work on making pasta and other food prep. *Caesar $10 - This is a pretty big salad. You could even split it with someone if you're both getting pasta dishes as well. It was good, but I would have liked just a bit more dressing, and the croutons seemed a little plain and were so big I struggled to bust them down into smaller bite size pieces. *Carbonara $14 - I thought this was good as well and a great portion size for the price and quality. Enough to satisfy your pasta hunger but not enough to bust your gut. Pasta was cooked al dente. *Gnocchi $14 - I got this to-go so it was reheated a couple days later in my microwave. You'll probably have a better experience eating it fresh as my sauce separated, but it was still good. At first I though the shredded pear was odd, but it really helps to balance out the heavy rich flavors from the gnocchi and cream sauce. If I am ever in the area again I would try more menu options from here! read more

This savvy new eatery is located inside the recently developed Shaker Market Hall, an indoor venue that is part of the revitalized Van Aken shopping area. Essentially, this place is a non-comercialized version of Piada that adheres freshness and prepares everything daily. I ordered the Spaghetti Marinara, which was roughly 4 ounces of handmade pasta topped with shaved parmesan, what a treat! It was enough to satisfy my appetite while not creating a carb overload. The sauce was perfectly balanced and the noodles were al dente. Whatever the owner(s) had in mind when they conceptualized this place, they did it right! Excellent food and reasonable prices - I will surely return. read more

This little food court style market hall is so fun. Every restaurant looks so delicious it's hard to choose but I'm glad I picked Scorpacciata. We tried the orecchiette and it was so good and flavorful, pasta really al dente, definitely want to try the rest of the pastas. You're left feeling full but not too full like you might with some heavier pasta dishes - it honestly tastes as great as it smells. Supa pasta read more

I tried their avocado veggie pizza. I ate on location (Van Aken Market House) so the pizza was fresh out of the oven. Upon opening the box, I found a soggy, goopy, dripping mess. Apparently, there are a couple of white sauces on the crust and the few avacodos and few spinach leaves pretty much floated right off the crust, even under a lot of melted cheese. It was not cut through so I had to struggle with a plastic knife to finish the job. If you live on the east side of Cleveland, stick with Dewey's. As they say, "The best pizza on the planet". read more

I tried the gnocchi and I wasn't disappointed. Flavorful, and the pear and balsamic only made it better. read more

The spicy pepper and sausage pizza was so good! It was a good portion for the price and the hot honey dipping sauce was good, although a bit pricey for $2 I will definitely be back to try other pizzas and pasta read more

I have been working my way through the Van Aken market and yesterday I got to try Scorpacciata! The caesar salad was really good - I think the dressing was what got me. Also ordered the carbonara which had basil pasta, something new to me! I thought that the carbonara was good but I'd like to try a different pasta next time. I'd rate Scorpacciata around 4.5 stars, minus 0.5 because I do think it is slightly overpriced. However, the food is good and definitely worth a try! read more

Picture this - it is Saturday night and you are hankering for some fresh made pasta - what do you do?!? You check your friendly yelp and this wonderful place pops up on your radar. You check the clock and it is 7:30 and the place closes at 8:00! Race there! 15 min to spare. Order the WHOLE menu. Oh boy was this a success. Suprisingly amazing dish was the beet salad - yup, you heard me right. We had ordered 3 of the pastas that were each delectable. Staff was friendly and helpful. We took it to go but the area seems fun to stick around and grab a drink. Excited to go back again soon... read more

This is one of my favorite places inside the market hall. I've tried the following: Orecchiette (Celery, Roasted Kale, Spicy Sausage, Anchovy, Young Romano, Breadcrumbs) - the kale is so good in this Orecchiette (fennel sausage, Calabrian chili, broccoli rabe, hull's trace) - this i believe is no longer offered, they switched up the ingredients (seasonal) Cassarecce (Roasted Kale, Killbuck Valley Oyster Mushrooms, Tomato Cream, Pecorino Romano) - very saucy kind of wish i had bread to go with this so I can dip it in the sauce Spaghetti and Meatballs - ordered multiple times Seared Gnocchi (Broccoli Rabe Pesto, local tomato, parmigiana, mascarpone) - LOVE PESTO, not on the menu anymore, they've replaced with the sweet potato gnocchi which I haven't tried yet Carbonara (Herbed fettucine, seared mushrooms, local peppers, yolks, parmigiana) - this wasn't my favorite but it was tasty all the same, I don't believe its being offered on the menu anymore I like that they change their menu so I am always going back to try a few new things. I usually head over during my lunch break and it does take a bit of time to prepare the order. So if you are in a time crunch this is something to be aware of. I did ask one of the employees if they take orders over the phone and they do. I really enjoy the strong flavors and the pasta is sooo good. One thing to note is that their choice of veggies for these dishes are soo good that I kind of wish there was more in the dish. The dishes are filling and I'm always craving more. Will probably be going back for lunch again soon. read more

Food is good but service is awful , that really leaves a bad taste... whoever was working on Sunday (8/4) was not nice and didn't care to be there . Was treated differently and I didn't appreciate that . I definitely heard her greet some other customers and even ask where she's sitting . When my turn came, didn't say hello , or what I'd like . She literally waited till I spoke first ! I order my food, shows me the screen and flips the screen . Didn't hand my card back (I pulled it out myself) and just handed me a number and turned . So I told her BTW this is where I'm sitting . When she brought the food out , just handed the bowl without saying a word , took the number and walked away. Please treat people with respect and show some appreciation to your customers . read more

This is the best pizza in the area so far. Great dough, cheese, sauce, toppings. So glad they are moving to a brick and mortar!

This delightful pasta and salad place is located in the Van Aken Market Hall. On our recent visit, we ordered the seared gnocchi with meatballs - note that chicken, meatballs, fennel sausage, and pancetta are extra, so you can customize that portion of your dish to taste. It was flavorful and delicious and was very much enjoyed. When you order at Scorpacciata, they give you a number and then deliver your food to you. I was impressed by that, since there is a lot of seating in and around the Market Hall, and quite a bit of it is not visible from their restaurant. The server found us, though, and was quite pleasant and friendly! read more

We went here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. Surprisingly it was kind of empty for lunch time. We stood in line and the waitress did not greet us or say anything before she started to take our order. We were dining in the food hall so she gave us a number so she could bring our food to us. She ended up bringing our food. When was giving the food again she was silent. We were not sure what was going on. Advice to management , please train your staff to be friendly to customers otherwise you are not gonna get repeating customer. Food quality was pretty good actually. We all liked the fennel sausage. It's just that service sucks at this place. read more

Amazing. Definitely one of my top 5 places for pizza in the Cleveland area. Found this little gem while browsing Instagram and immediately added it to my list of places to check out. Everything from the crust to the tomato sauce was fantastic. Definitely a must try!! read more

I would not recommend Scorpacciata pizza! Hopefully their pasta is better. Ordered 2 pizzas last night. Their pepperoni pizza was over cooked, so consequently was tough and chewy. Note 1 to chef: if you can't fold hot, thin sliced pizza in half lengthwise, it's over cooked. But the worst was the mushroom pizza. If you like a little pizza with your garlic then you would love this. Note 2 to chef: too much of a good thing is not a good thing. After my first bite i knew something was off. I took the arugula off of 1 slice to see what was under. 4 thin mushroom remnants, almost no cheese & 10 clove-sized blobs of garlic on a single slice! Horrible. See my photo. If someone asked for extra extra garlic, this would still be double the amount of garlic they should get. Were they out of cheese and running low on mushrooms and decided we couldn't tell the difference? Note to Van Aken manager: get a new pizza maker. read more

Went into the Market Hall to get banter and saw that there was Pasta. I was BEYOND excited pasta is ALWAYS amazing especially on a cold winter day. The smells are amazing wafting from their kitchen. Staff was extremely personable as I solicited suggestions for my dilemma in choosing between the Carbonara and Seared Gnocchi. Settled on the Gnoochi, it was absolutely delicious but the $14 price tag for the very minute serving size left me extremely disappointed. Not sure if I'd return do to portion size. read more

The new Van Aiken is way dope and this place fits in perfectly. Arugula salad is a must. The homemade ricotta is absolute fire on the salad. The dressing was brightly colorful and flavorful. Not to be missed. The carbonara was rich and the pasta perfect. The real deal pasta. I don't bother with the dried store crap - not worth the calories. This is fresh and perfectly al dente. Strong work. Great addition. read more

This is a great little place. All three of us had something different and they were all very good. Pleasant surprise. read more

Decent pie. Shouldnt take 1 hour 20 for 2 slices though. Second time i've made a to go order for 2 slices and have been quoted 60+ minute wait time. Need more help? Hire more people. Not enough ovens? Get a bigger kitchen. read more

We tried takeout for the first time from this place on Tuesday night. I had the gnocchi and my husband had spaghetti & meatballs. I don't know if it's supposed to be that way but the gnocchi was burned. Each dough ball was charred dark brown on one side. It was terrible. The burnt taste ruined the entire dish. I could not eat it. My husband's spaghetti & meatballs was just okay. It was dry and needed more sauce and the meatballs were hard and tasted more like sausage than meatballs. So disappointed in this place. read more

Their pizza was very good & definitely the closest had to that of NYC pizza, having just recently relocated from the city. It looks as though they use the same ovens as the spots in NY. Probably an unpopular opinion considering the others' longevity but this is easily the best pizza had so far in Cleveland compared to the rather standard fair from Geraci's & Mama Santa's. Would recommend calling ahead - whether it's because they're busy or it's their modus operandi, they're not very quick. read more

Love their pasta dishes, but today I'm going to talk about the Arugula salad! We ate it last week with a pasta dish - this week we went there just for the salad. It is so light and refreshing, yet filling. It's made with arugula, thin slices of fresh fennel bulb, feta cheese, cashews, a garnish of shaved radishes and topped with a heavenly citrusy (yet with a little sweetness) vinaigrette- so delicious!! I could eat this every day of the week!!!! Kudos to Scorpacciata Pasta for paying as much attention tontheir salad as they do for their pastas! read more

Wow! Just wow! I did not expect the pasta to be that good! The gnocchi was absolutely amazing so well done and well balanced on the plate. I was skeptical about paying $14 for pasta in the type of setting it was located in but it was worth every cent I would pay $22 for that pasta it was so good! Will definitely be returning!! read more

One of the top pizzas in cleveland, maybe the very best. NY style, baked to perfection. Very reasonable prices also, $20 for 16" pizza with toppings. Also try their pasta stand next door, scorpacciatta pasta, its excellent as well. For both places, order well in advance (pizza 3-4 hours, pasta 1/2 to 1 hour), they are both very small. read more

Came in today to van Aken Market Hall location for pasta. Says they close at 6. Was 5:50 and they were already shut down. Three folks behind the stand. Businesses like that frustrating. Don't list one thing and do another. read more

The food is super good! But the people who work there are always weirdly unpleasant. Like they always seem to meander up to the counter and stare you down, wordlessly waiting for your order. And they stare at your hand while you pick the tip on the computer screen (honestly should probably be 0 but I'm afraid they'll spit in my pasta). I love the food but I don't come here often because the service is consistently unfriendly. I'm not a frequent "Yelper" but I figured I'd leave this as a bit of constructive feedback. read more

Poor customer service with average pizza.

DELICIOUS food! The workers were kind and the location was so fun. However, the portions are way too small for the price.

Very good pizza. Pasta is fantastic. Kale pizza is definitely better then you'd expect it to be. Great pepperoni for the pies. Pasta taste fresh, can really tell its made in house and not store bought. Love it here! read more

Their pizza is excellent: chewy crust, tart sauce, fresh cheese and toppings. Best pizza I've had locally since moving here from Philadelphia 12 years ago read more

Food was okay, service was not. The setup is very strange - one person taking orders and only two people cooking. One of the workers was supposed to bring my food out. 30 minutes later, I checked on the status and it was just sitting there. I understand the concept, but the setup is incredibly inefficient. Cost is on the high-end as well so likely won't be back. read more

Best pasta in town! Try the gnocchi and the homemade ricotta! Peter Reuter has created a fantastic restaurant to pick up a delicious dinner on the way home or to enjoy while hanging out at Craft Collective In response to Emily C. review a month ago, do not come to Scorpacciata if you expect fast food. This is not a Mac and cheese for kids place. This place is craft food. Do not bring hungry kids. If your kids are hungry, feed them first or bring snacks. Scorpacciata is restaurant quality food and the chef wants to keep it that way. Expect a wait of 30 minutes or more on a busy night like Friday or Saturday. Wait can be even more when there is a Beer Garden or Cleveland Flea. The wait is worth it. Pasta dishes are outstanding, they support local farmers and food sources, and Peter is all about good food. Order your food, get a number, go to Craft Collective, order a drink, and Scorpacciata will deliver your food to where you are sitting. No other restaurant at the Market Hall does this. read more

Unfortunately, we came on a very busy night and it was not a good experience. The owner, however, was very understanding and comped our meal, so we would definitely try it again. read more

Scorpacciata Pizza - Save your money and go somewhere else! - Italian Near Me - Shaker Heights, Ohio

I come here from time to time, basically order one dish after having tried some 3 dishes. Didn´t care for any of their tomato sauces, or the mac and cheese which is heavy and greasy with an unpleasant flavor. I would not call this Italian food, in spite of the fact that they serve up pasta and use a few ingredients common in Italian cooking. The flavors themselves are not Italian. One good thing is that everything is fresh. The pasta is fresh and hearty, and makes for a satisfying meal if not ruined by one gross ingredient or another they manage to sneak in. There are a couple bad employees, too. The cook with the ponytail, who looks to be about twenty, overcharges whenever he can and has some unsavory habits to boot, such as sneezing openly near the food. The blonde female cashier, whom I haven´t seen in awhile, was consistently rude. Right next to the card reader used to be an enormous jar for tips. It dwarfed everything else. I found it amusing. read more
