    sangria and run rummer
    Lydia S.

    Excellent food and drink, charming atmosphere and kind staff. Everything came out very quickly and our bartender Brian was able to answer all our questions. I think the bar is great for a first date as the dining areas are a bit noisy for me. We stopped by before heading to a show at the nearby Arlington Friends Theater. I don't think you can go wrong with this menu! My guest and I shared dinner tapas-style and got bread service (not complementary), the artichokes and zucchini blossoms appetizers. I sipped a perfect red sangria, he had the Run Rummer and a mojito that he was blown away by. We were very satisfied and found everything reasonably priced for the quality. This place definitely lives up to its name for European dining.

    Ended up at Scutra this weekend, as it was close to an event we went to. The service, drinks, and restaurant in general was incredible. That said, the food was absolutely next level. I went with a party of 4, and was able to try everyone's appetizers, entrees, and desserts and ever single one was unreal. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

    We had such a great dinner on a Friday night at Scutra! The service was incredible, our server told us about the restaurant and how its family owned, has a changing menu for seasonality and about their outdoor patio for when it gets nice out. The drinks were great (Festivus Marg and Amaretto Sour) and the food was even better! We ordered the Poke Nachos for an appetizer and the presentation was so beautiful. Our entrees were huge and delicious. The Homemade Rigatoni Bolognese had such a tasty sauce and perfect texture pasta. The Duo of Filet Wrapped in Bacon was cooked to perfection. We can't wait to come back and try more!

    Came here to have dinner with family, had a lovely time. We each ordered an entree and shared two desserts. Everything was very delicious. The short ribs were so soft and tender. Definitely recommend them! We were all soo full after. We got bread for the table which was great as well. Everyone was very kind and helpful. Had a great time, thanks!

    The bar

    Scutra's menu is great, and the food is amazing, but the people are what make it one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Everyone that works at Scutre wants you to have the best dining experience you've ever had. We've been there a few times now, and the food is always fantastic. We've make sure to sit at the bar, because Louie, the bartender, treats us like family.... No, not like family, because I know my family. He treats us like the most important people he's ever met. I never leave Yelp reviews, but I felt like I had to, because everything about this place is so incredible.

    I have a shellfish allergy, how do they deal with it?

    It shouldn't be a problem. Maybe call ahead and speak with the chef, Didier and ask if he can accommodate.

    Yummy yummy pasta night!…read more My bf surprised me by bringing me to this nice and cozy Italian restaurant in Arlington heights on Saturday night. It wasn't too busy so we were lucky to get a table. They only have a few tables so making a reservation would be a good idea. Soon after we were seated people started showing up and the tables were starting to fill up. We were served complimentary bread and olive oil which was very good while we decided on our dish. They had a few specials that were not on the menu and sounded delicious but we decided to try their shrimp pasta and their chicken cacciatore. We also ordered the house Nina salad which had delicious pears and a light and tangy vinaigrette dressing. The waiter was very nice and I also think he was the cook since you could see into the kitchen and there were only two people behind the counter. Our pasta dishes came out nice and hot and we quickly devoured them. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the shrimp were nice and juicy and fully peeled. The shrimp pasta had a nice lemony and tangy flavor and there was plenty of sauce. The chicken cacciatore was also very good. The chicken was nice and tender and the pasta was super flavorful. They were even kind enough to bring us more bread so we could finish our sauces! We will definitely be back!

    Yelp gives this place four stars…read more I give this place four stars. I give Northender's category five stars. Northender is just like 380 places all over the Boston Area. And I love them all. * * * Northender is an East Coast Sub Shop. Sub shops have pizza too. Pizza is good all over the country. Subs are NOT good all over the country. They are usually only good only in the Northeast. Sub shops in Texas are godawful. Sub shops in Michigan and Wisconsin are no great shakes. So when I go to Boston or Connecticut or Rhode Island or -Hallelujah - Philadelphia ... I go out of my way to get at least one real deal sub. One real deal sub and I am happy. If on two days, I can get two real deal subs, I am twice as happy. * * * Most East Coast sub shops are fine. There may be some place that has legendary three standard deviations above the mean subs. I have yet to find one. There is probably a tail end of terrible East Coast sub shops at the bottom end of the distribution. If I have eaten at one, I have repressed the memory. * * * The Northender is controversial. Some Yelpers hate it. Others love it. My local hosts love it. What I had is outstanding. So I am proudly in the pro-Northender camp. Because sub shops also do pizzas and Italian main dish entrees - there may or may not be issues with the other two thirds of the menu. But on subs - these folks are just fine and dandy. I had a meatball parmigiana sub. Those are always good. Even mediocre places in Texas with their cold cuts coming straight from Sysco can sometimes manage a decent meatball sub. * * * Northender lets you get hot grilled green peppers on your meatball sub. Texas has never heard of such a thing. Hot grilled green peppers on any kind of a parmigiana sub? Take plug. Insert into electric socket. All the lights come on. I was bright and shiny for the rest of the day. (And that rest of the day involved a long and miserable trip through Logan airport. I needed that sub as a bright spot on a day that was going to be dreariness up the snoot.) * * * Are the subs in Arlington better or worse than the subs in Lexington, or in Dedham, or in Marblehead or in Southie? I really couldn't tell you. But certain pleasures are like chocolate. They are good unless they are proven otherwise. * * * How are Northenders salads, or the lasagnas of the day or their house special pizza? I have no idea. But just keep those sub sandwiches coming. I am with ya, Northender.

The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, so it's a great place for date night. The Fantastic: 1. Service -- our waiter was amazing, he took great care of us. We wanted for nothing! 2. Tortellini Alla Norcina -- this was delish. It was creamy, a little funky, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. 3. Cacio e Pepe -- also delish. 4. Mussels -- perfectly cooked, big and plump, and the bread to sop up the broth was also yummy. The plates are beautiful, but I think that plating and presentation takes priority over the food sometimes: 1. Bruschetta -- this was supposed to come with a balsamic drizzle, but it was served on a wooden plate and the drizzle was tiny and thin, so there wasn't really any balsamic. The dish could have used it to help cut through the cheese. 2. Bombolone -- dry, there was not a lot of custard in the pastry, and the surrounding sauces were more decorative than helpful. We did not enjoy the mixed drinks, they were all on the sour side and watery. So I would stick with wine or beer, the wine we had was excellent. Overall, we had a really nice time and would return.

To…read morestart, we ordered a perfectly cooked octopus antipasti, followed by tortellini alla norcina, and for a secondi the vitello alla petroniana (we were debating between this pasta/secondi combination and the pasta bolognese/swordfish special - will have to come back to get these next time!). I don't typically eat veal, and this cutlet was perfectly balanced - rich, savory, crispy, with a pleasant (but not overwhelming) salty kick from the prosciutto and parmigiano reggiano. We also ordered the spicy broccolini, which I highly recommend for the garlic lovers out there. For dessert we had the dark cherry (amarena?) gelato, which was delicious and creamy, with the perfect amount of sweetness. We shared each dish, and it was certainly plenty of food for the two of us. Prices felt reasonable for the amount and quality of what we ordered (all of the above + 2 drinks from the bar totaled approx. $160 pre-tip). The restaurant space itself is relatively small but has enough space to move around comfortably, which made it cozy without ever getting too loud (it was a pretty full house when we went), with a balanced dim lighting. Additionally, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the server patiently walked us through the menu and shared suggestions at our request. On a personal note I am especially appreciative of the staff, as I accidentally left without my hat, and the restaurant responded almost immediately to the message I sent through the restaurant website that same evening. Tl;dr - great menu, rich & hearty but balanced ingredients/recipes, and comfortable vibe. One really gets the impression that the husband/wife owners had a specific vision that they successfully brought into reality.
