    Large Chicken broccoli calzone
    Allegra P.

    Recently I've been trying the hamburgers in my neighborhood and scampa is surprisingly the best. The food is fresh. The burger is fresh. The size is big. The price is low. You really should be trying the burgers from skampa if you've never tried it. It was really easy to order online and it was ready fast. I love this place. The guys who work here are kind and I want everyone to support this local business

    Skampa was such a great find. Why? They are extremely friendly, and their food portions are huge! I was in the area, craving a healthy lunch, and was really hunger and so glad I stumbled on Skampa. Ordered: The Greek Salad, with grilled chicken (they give 7-8 ounces!). Would be enough for 2 meals, except I was hungry so... Thanks, Skampa!

    Zita with meatballs.
    Michelle M.

    We usual3only go here for their roast beefs or pastrami which are both really good. However today I dared to venture to try something different, since our usual spot Alfredos is closed on Sunday. I ordered the ziti with meat balls. It was gross. Simply put. The meatballs are frozen and taste it, the noodles were mush they were so over cooked. The sauce isn't bad, but they barley put any on. My husband got the steak tip dinner and man was that a disappointment in a box. The steak was tough and chewy, tasted of a lot of vinegar the fries and onion ring were both soggy and most of the onion rings Batter was blown off. Just a really crappy experience.

    Fried shrimp dinner with fries, it also came with a side of coleslaw.
    Jonica S.

    Skampa is so tasty! The menu has so many options but my favorite is the shrimp dinner with all fries which comes with coleslaw. The fries are sooooo good and flavorful!!! By far the best fries in Cambridge,Mass. The fried shrimp on this order is always done so perfect. I highly recommend this if you like fried shrimp. Make sure you ask for an extra tartar sauce because they have a pretty good tartar sauce with some mini chunks of red onions. I'm not really a coleslaw person but I enjoy Skampa coleslaw with this order.The portion is filling for 1 but you'll end up saving some for later.

    I ordered a small pizza; half cheese and half pepperoni. The crust was super thin and light. It only took 10 minutes for pick up. The staff was friendly.

    How is the roast beef?

    I have never had their roast beef because I dont like roast beef personally. Everyone I know who eats the roast beef here says they like it

    I held this year's birthday dinner here. I had a good impression of Coda Restaurant Group before,…read moreand this place did not disappoint. Prosciutto: The best dish of the meal. The prosciutto slices were perfectly salty, rich in fat, and smooth, wrapped around the refreshing sweetness of kumquats, the delicate creaminess of stracciatella cheese, the crunch and nutty aroma of pistachios, and topped with a smoky touch of sumac powder. It had a rich and distinct flavor profile while offering a gentle and comfortable taste. Spaghetti: The refreshing lemon and basil paired with the umami crab meat is a classic combination. Chili oil added a touch of spice and aroma, while pea tendrils provided a light herbal fragrance. The sauce was emulsified very smoothly, making it both rich and palatable, although the spaghetti itself didn't leave a particularly strong impression. Half Chicken Milanese: A large portion, perfect as a main course to share. The chicken cutlet was thick, fried to a fragrant perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Wrapped in lettuce and eaten with mayonnaise, it brought back memories of the fast food stalls outside my school when I was a child. This was my first time trying rhubarb stems. The tangy and refreshing taste cut through the richness, and the texture was like softer celery and firmer green bell peppers - quite interesting. Duck Bacon Pizza: The most highly rated pizza online, and it was truly delicious! The rich, savory flavor of the duck bacon, the succulent richness of the shimeji mushrooms, and the mellow sweetness of the caramelized onions, combined with the creamy cheese base, made it a calorie bomb, but I still felt it was the right choice. Unfortunately, the crust was a bit hard, making it difficult to cut with a knife. Cotechino Pizza: This was my first time trying a pizza with sweet potatoes, and I couldn't help but admire their innovation. The colors were vibrant, and the sweetness of the sweet potatoes paired with the smoky aroma of Cotechino sausage bits created a full yet harmonious flavor, evoking the feeling of being in the southern Italian countryside in early autumn, basking in the bright sunshine and the satisfaction of a bountiful harvest. The restaurant offered menus printed with "Happy Birthday," and the waiters provided professional cake-cutting service. Overall, a very comfortable experience.

I got the after school snack cocktail which was very refreshing and paired nicely with the meal. We split the Bucatini Verde and it was so delicious. I couldn't even pinpoint the flavors I was eating but it was amazing. Fresh pasta and just really good flavor. We saw a dish online we wanted, but the server explained they use that pasta for different dishes and change out the sauce, so I'm glad I got to try it. We then split the Pepperoni + Vodka Sauce pizza which was good. I'll be honest I was a tad disappointed in the pizza. It was flavorful but I think I was expecting the same feeling I got when I had the pasta. It was good, but just that, good. Crust was a little burnt. I did love the vibes and pasta and it's definitely known in Cambridge for a good reason. I'd recommend a reservation if you'd like a table as it does fill up fast.

My go-tos are the mushroom pie and clam pie, both of which are super flavorful and made with high-quality ingredients.

The service was poor from the start. The waitress told us we would be seated at the bar. She rolled her eyes and appeared visibly annoyed when I asked if it was okay that my sister was under 21. She said it was fine as long as we didn't order drinks, then seated us at the bar. We were only given drink menus. When the bartender came over to take our order, I had to ask for a food menu myself. Our seating was also uncomfortable. We were placed right next to the bar/server station. My sister got splashed when drinks were being opened, and servers repeatedly bumped into her chair while passing. We ordered the Carnivore pizza. The pizza itself was quite salty. The dough was decent, but not impressive. I kept trying to convince myself it was good, but it fell short. Pizza: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Would I return? No. Overall, I was surprised by the 4.4 rating. My expectations were much higher based on the reviews.

Picked the Salsiccia pizza to split between us (and a poached pear and cannoli for dessert). First, the atmosphere is great! Inviting, with great views of Ball Square and the amazing pizza oven. The pizza arrived at the perfect temperature and quickly (we learned later that a pizza spends less than couple minutes in the oven due to how blisteringly hot it gets). Great flavor and composition to the pizza -- the sausage was extremely flavorful and there was just enough cheese. The dough is top notch, with just the right amount of chew! The poached pear and cannoli were excellent. Not too sweet with sufficient complexity. Very, very nice.

The spicy sausage pizza was excellent, the dough is homemade and tastes incredibly fresh. The toppings are fresh as well, which really comes through in the flavor.
