Came here to celebrate the boyfriends birthday as we wanted nice food / ambiance but nothing too fancy or overpriced. Food was good but nothing wowing us enough to come back. Our server Manny was amazing and took great care of us during our visit and is a big reason for the 3 stars. Drinks: Had a subpar dirty martini and Moscow mules during our visit. Moscow mules won over the martini as it just wasn't tasty or as clean prepped as I've had at other locations. Moscow mules were on the sweet side and could have used more alcohol but it was nice to sip on. Food: Started with the fried asparagus and while they were good, we have just had better. If you've never had them before, highly recommend but if you're trying to fill a craving, I don't think these are the ones. Birthday boy had veal Parmesan and loved it. Said it was some of the better veal he had had since living in Texas the past 8 years. I had the Scuzzi shrimp dinner. Thought it was good but it needed more salt and sauce. I would have preferred the coating on the shrimp to be a bit crispier but that's just me. While we didn't order or request a dessert on our own, they provided the birthday boy a mini cannoli with a candle. Loved the thought and appreciation but I later found out they charged me for it. I didn't bring it up bc I understand businesses are trying to recover but I would have preferred the option to decline if I had to pay for it. It definitely put a damper on the experience so we probably won't return anytime soon. read more

Went to a large Christmas gathering and unfortunately the place was not equipped for a big group even they were aware of the reservation. Chairs were touching one another cause the restaurant crammed everyone together like sardines in a can...no elbow room. Food was lack-luster, bland, frozen Italian food. One waiter working hard, one with an attitude and a brand new bartender that didn't seem to get help from manager or coworkers. He did his best. And the worse part of the whole Christmas dinner was eating off of paper plates. Sad. Won't be back again. read more

I've been here twice it's always hot, the drinks are good, the service is okay and the views are nothing special. It's not bad per say but not my favorite at all read more

Service on a Friday evening was excellent. Ask for Rudy, has your waiter. Eggplant was awesome.

Stopped into Scuzzi's today for lunch with a guest. My guest had the Stracciatella soup and sucked it down. I had alfredo pasta with grilled scallops and my guest the Rainbow Trout. We both loved the flavors and the attentive service. I would have preferred to have the scallops be fresh, but we are land locked in the heart of Texas. My guest took advantage of the $5 martinis on Thursdays and I had a most excellent old fashion. I rarely have a bad meal here and I caught myself asking why don't I come here more often? read more

Always a great meal and great service with Mazi at the helm. Our last visit was Christmas Even and the place was packed. Fresh baked bread with oil, basil and garlic to start. They could use larger portion cups for the delicious oil. Caesar salad is a must to start. This time I enjoyed the Shrimp Scuzzi's. Large shrimp lightly breaded and fried. Over a bed of julienne vegetables. Just enough to not be too full for dessert. read more

The food was excellent, as always. Our server, Dan, was very attentive. The entire staff was very friendly.

One of the BEST Italian food restaurants i have visited, i had capellini crudo w Grilled chicken (chicken just melted in my mouth), For the finale i had an Italian pistachio creme cake slice, it was "perfection " i could've ate another slice because it wasn't rich, you could taste the creamy Ricotta. Great place to catch a ball game at the bar and great food. Staff (JR and Mazi) very friendly, polite, and welcoming. I will be back Boys... read more

First time at Scuzzi's and it was absolutely amazing. Great happy hour, delicious food, and amazing service. Thank you Rodolfo and staff for being so welcoming. read more

Nice selection of appetizers and entrees. Decent bread with olive oil. Prompt service for party of 28. Ok fetticini alfredo, small portion. Hubby had pork chop with mango sauce that was very good. Highly recommend the fried asparagus with lump crab! Cozy atmosphere. Somewhat overpriced for portion size. read more

Had a dinner reservation for 7:30pm on Mother's Day. A/C must've been out it was uncomfortably warm. No warm greeting at check in and I did have to chase up my table after my reservation time even though we had arrived early. Food was very mediocre. Bread and olive oil was a small dish of olive oil with some garlic sunk at the bottom and a green floating herb. Definitely not high end olive oil to serve just like that. Had spaghetti bolognese just meat sauce. Was lukewarm but wasn't awful though but meh wouldn't leave home for it. Service was good though waiters were super nice. Seems popular though but as a visitor to San Antonio I would not recommend. read more

Very tasty authentic Italian without a long wait time. Parking is easy and convenient. Me and my wife actually tried to meet some friends across 1604 at Paesanos but the wait time was an hour-long and parking was a nightmare so we decided to check out Scuzzi's across the street. We were definitely satisfied and somewhat impressed. The wine list is good enough for our tastes and everything else was perfect! Great spot for a busy Saturday read more

My family and I came in for a late Mother's Day lunch and boy were we surprised. The food was amazing and the service was impeccable (thanks to our server, Dan). I ordered the chicken alfredo which was delicious and flavorful. The bar area we sat in was good, but could've been a bit cleaner in my opinion. Still, this wasn't enough to detract from the amazing service Dan provided us. He was very attentive to everything we needed. Overall, this place was excellent and worth of another visit very soon. read more

Good food, great dessert! The chocolate mousse dessert was outstanding! Nice Italian atmosphere complimented by Italian music. read more

The restaurant itself is very pretty inside. Our servers were attentive and friendly. As for the food, it didn't meet my expectations. I got the rainbow trout with vegetables (it came in a bowl with the vegetables on the bottom and fish on top), and unfortunately, it was just a very small, thin fillet covered in butter. My vegetables were at the bottom swimming in a pool of butter too. I asked for extra vegetables when I ordered yet hardly got a serving's worth. Overall, food was too buttery and heavy for me, but that seems to be common at Italian restaurants. I did like the sweet tea at least - I got countless refills during my time there. read more

I got the Penne Alla Vodka and it was delicious! Our waiter was Daniel and he was so nice and helpful. Would definitely come here again!

The dinner started out well. Nice Ambiance, white table clothes, very pleasant and attentive waiter. He went over his recommendation on the menu and explained the chef special, Chilean Seabass with Shrimp (and crab - that I could not find). Looking at the menu, the most expensive item was in the $40's. Since the waiter didn't give the price of the special and I didn't want to embarrass myself by asking, I figured it couldn't be too much more. The place was empty at dinner time. We were so impressed we weren't sure why no one was there. At the end of the meal the server placed an 8x10 frame on the table with QR codes to scan and leave a review. Pushy, but we agreed and left nice reviews. I waited until we left to look at the check my husband paid. When I saw that they had the nerve to charge $85 for the seabass I was shocked. I have never paid that much for a fish entree in my life. I was sure the waiter had keyed in the wrong amount. What on earth! When I called the manager, he said it was correct and explained they don't tell you the price because once a patron complained they were embarrassed when they were told the price. VERY Poor excuse!! It's more embarrassing to have to ask. And at the price - ROBBERY!! It was served with pasta. No salad starter. It was good, but not $85.00 worth. And this solves the mystery of why it's empty. read more

Had been holding Scuzzi's gift cards for awhile so decided to finally have lunch on a Sunday. Everything was very average at best nothing outstanding to report. Too many better Italian restaurants in the area. Will not be back read more

The food was great, the waitstaff was very friendly and accommodating to our requests, service was quick, and the decor and ambiance was also fantastic. Also, a table by us was celebrating a birthday and the restaurant had a very unique treat for him, I won't spoil the surprise here! read more

Made reservations to come here for Mother's Day Lunch. They sat us down in a timely manner. They were busy though but they maintained their cool during the entire time. It was our 1st time there and our waitress Illissa was very helpful and patient with my dad's order. He wanted gravy for his mashed potatoes Their bread was soft and tasty, could have more olive oil for dipping though. They have a great wine selection. Their salads are huge and fresh. We then decided to get the dessert menu. Saw that they had crème brûlée, I had to order it of course! Illissa reported that they don't do the flame on dessert anymore for show. Which is fine by me, just get me my dessert. Dessert was brought and it 4 slices of strawberries around the dish, i was expecting an array of different berries. Then proceeded to break the hardened caramelized sugar..... The custard was runny like pudding, it was not solidified at all. Don't know if it skipped a step or what happened. It tasted good but it was not in the form it was supposed to be. Asked Illissa to please take it cause I couldn't eat that. She apologized and removed it from our tab. Not her fault at all. However, I would return for the main entrees, but leery of the dessert menu. read more

Oh my Goodness!! Can you say YUM!!! Have eaten here may times and I have yet to have anything that is even mediocre. Diane was our server and was so friendly and knowledgeable-she turned us on to a great new wine. It's a wonderful experience-do yourself a favor--go!!!! read more

Have not been here in person but ordered food via DD and it was excellent. We absolutely loved our dishes.

This was our first time at this restaurant. Our server, Rudy, was attentive without being overbearing. My husband particularly enjoyed his lasagna! It did get progressively noisier as more people arrived. My husband has hearing problems, so that much noise can be painful for him. That's the only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5. read more

Great location. Wonderful food and atmosphere. Only caution is that it's very loud inside. We had no trouble talking across the table but the chatter from other tables definitely fills the air. If you decide to go, and I recommend that you do, Rudy is an excellent server. Ask to sit in his section. read more

Our waiter, Rudy, was super friendly and very professional. Great service and food was delicious. Came for my birthday and we'll be back again soon. Chicken picatta was buttery smooth and my husband loved is chicken marsala. Deserts were awesome! Thanks to everyone read more

The inside of this place may be a little outdated, but the food was worth it. Will be back again!

Great food and ambiance. Kayla was a great server and very friendly. Highly recommend the sausage cacciatore.

Held a grad celebration here for group of twelve. Lovely atmosphere, little loud but we had group of twelve so blended in, all apps and entrees were delicious. Would recommend this place for big groups. read more

Up in San Antonio for the weekend and needed an old school italian meal. Bada Bing , it's Scuzzi's. A supper club environment on par with Chicago or New York. The experience is complete with waitstaff in vests and booties and linen napkins. Every dish worthy of Mama's approval. Crisp calamari, rich Sunday gravy, fresh bread with oil and balsamic. They even serve veal! Some of the socially "woke" will turn their nose but it is a traditional dish that had lost favor but is still is a standard. Knowledgeable staff, friendly and always ready to make a recommendation or cater to most requests. Until I go back to Chi-town this place is it! Our waiter "J" was AWESOME! Thanks for the great service and angelic voice! read more

Had a work-related evening at this restaurant and could not have been a more pleasant experience. Rudy along with all other staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and a joy. The food was excellent. We tried the calamari, shrimp, and scallop appetizers. I had the sea bass special. My husband had the lamb chops. We had the creme brulee and chocolate lava cake for dessert. Every item was delicious. We will be returning. read more

2nd time coming to Scuzzi's and it didn't disappoint. I think the service and food was better than before. Great atmosphere inside the restaurant and our server Dan and the rest of the crew made our Anniversary, and daughter's birthday an amazing occasion. Will definitely be back!! read more

Went on Valentine's Day with no reservation. We showed up at 8 (Still peak restaurant hours) and sat immediately. However, our server seemed annoyed he got sat because his personality was dry and when I made the comment " Did you get sat right before your getting cut"? He shook his head in annoyance. So we were rushed through the dinner. My bar drinks came out fast and the food was fast as well. I got the shrimp scuzzi with 5 shrimp and a little bit of dry spaghetti underneath. No lemon butter sauce was present. My friend had the Lasagne. It was not good. For $25 you should get a big square piece but this looked small and thin. The meat inside was mushy like imitation meat or mystery meat. It wasn't beef, it was more like skillet meat. After eating he pre-bussed quickly and dropped the check. He "lurked" around our table until I was done filling out the check and he swooped the credit card receipt off the table like a Hoover vacuum cleaner. Pricey and lackluster food. read more

First time here. Moderate Saturday, not busy not empty, around 2-3 pm. Just not that impressed overall. Good portion size but average food and pretty basic, surely overpriced. Would not recommend and will not come back. read more

We actually popped in here because we came in from out of town, wanted pasta and didn't know where to go. Paesano's was a little fancier than we wanted (though you could definitely come here dressed for a date night) so we were looking for something different. We were so glad we gave this a try. Our waiter, Dan, was great and our food was beyond our expectations. We both agreed that our pasta was cooked to perfection and we couldn't have been more pleased with our meal. We could tell the staff really cared about doing a great job and wanted to make sure we were happy. read more
