    In the mood for some much needed pizza and this restaurant caught my attention. Their dough is much softer than a regular pizza. They have a decent variety of pizzas and a really good one for vegans. Ordered the meatball appetizer and it was pretty small and dense. The sauce was delicious, being sweet and savory. Could've ordered a jar of it. The chicken parma was the best pizza. The Wood + Fire pizza was great and was wonderful as leftovers. Only downside is the pizzas are small for $21. The service was pleasant and made the experience a good one.

    Tried the mushroom pizza. I thought that the dough and pizza had a good taste. It wasn't my favorite Neapolitan ever, but the flavor was decent.

    Such a good spot with a cozy atmosphere. I love the wood + fire pizza and tried the arancini last night that was good as well. Service has been good and friendly!

    Best pizza, service and Italian ambiance in Massachusetts! Simple menu and bold flavors nostalgic of my childhood. I'd give more stars if I could. Disagree, great, more for me! Viva Napoli

    Amazing servers. Love the peach ice tea. Would like the pizza a little less burned on bottom but overall flavor was good. Nice area with Shaws next door for parking.

    Always reminds me of me trip to Italy when I smell a freshly opened Peroni.

    Enjoyed a very tasty pizza meal on my birthday at Wood & Fire. Terrific food, nice ambiance and friendly fast service.

    Really nice Neapolitan pizza spot in Melrose. Crust was a little floppy, especially for the namesake "Wood + Fire" pizza, which had a LOT of toppings. The flavors were solid though. The beer selection was just OK. The star of the meal for me was the meatballs. My family is from Avellino and these beef and pork meatballs brought me right back to my childhood. Maybe not everyone's taste, but the most authentic I've found anywhere. Truly perfect.

    First time here. Walked in on a Saturday evening for an early dinner with no wait. Food and service were great and super affordable! Would highly recommend this spot and we plan on coming back to try their entree items

Food & Drinks: Lemon Martini: Loved that they brought this out and poured it fresh at the table so it stayed perfectly chilled. Chicken & Veggies: Hands down my favorite dish of the night. Pasta: My boyfriend's mother and boyfriend both had pasta and said it was very good. Accessibility: Something I noticed--which is just as important as the food--is how accessible the space is. They have dedicated parking and a ramp, making it very easy for anyone using a wheelchair or walker. We'll definitely be back!

I ran back into the restaurant to get an itemized receipt, and before the door even closed, Anthony at the front, welcomed me with "Wassa matta?" which was charming & I REALLY appreciated that he was on top of fixing whatever I needed right away. You don't often find hospitality like that anymore. The pizza, pasta & raviolis were all great. They make the chicken, broccoli & ziti the right way, with butter & garlic, not alfredo, which is in fact, the wrong way. It was delicious the day of & after for leftovers. The toasted raviolis weren't as toasted after driving 30 min but were still good, might need to pop them in an oven if you're getting takeout. Pizza was great! Total was $76 though. pizza 10/10 chicken, broccoli & ziti 9.5/10 toasted raviolis 9/10 Polcari's is a north shore staple & solid choice for classic Italian food. ambiance: 4.5/5 food: 4.8/5 service: 5/5 polcari's restaurant: 4.8/5

I made reservations to be seated out in the patio which was very cool as we were seating right by the window so we had a nice view and the patio had a nice cool vibe, casual but intimate, perfect for a summer night. Our server was Angelina, she was so sweet & pleasant. We both ordered a cocktail & both choice the minestrone soup as our appetizer ( it was DELICIOUS, served piping hot and a perfect starter)! I chose the Chef's Haddock , gf chose the Orecchiette pasta, both entrees were cooked perfectly, I ate all of mine, gf had to take most of hers home (which was fine with me so I could eat it the next day for lunch)! We truly enjoyed everything about Scopa and we will definitely be back soon & keep Scopa on our " Great Date Night Dinner List"!

The oysters were delicious, and the crab cake was probably my favorite of the starters. The meatball was interesting. It had pork and ground beef and was quite gamey, but it lacked the flavor I was expecting. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken broccoli Alfredo. Unfortunately, the chicken cutlet was pretty bland, and overall, the dish was just okay. I've definitely had better Italian meals. There were a few highlights, but overall, Scopa just didn't leave the impression I was hoping for on my first visit. Maybe I didn't order the right dishes, but based on this experience, I wouldn't be rushing back.
