Including our hand-stretched mozzarella (made-to-order every day between 5pm & 11pm), our pasta, our signature 1/2 lb meatballs, our dough, bread and desserts.

This was my first time at the Scaddabush Italian Kitchen & Bar where I had a dinner with a former colleague of mine. I selected the place based on people review. While the overall experience was decent, there were a few areas that could be improved. When I arrived, the hostess was on the phone for a few minutes before attending to me, which was a bit frustrating. Once seated, we faced some difficulty getting the waitress’s attention to place our order, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. The food itself was okay, and the presentation was nicely done. However, my drink had a lot of ice, which diluted the flavor and was somewhat disappointing. Overall, it was a decent evening, but the service and drink quality could be better to match the restaurant's exceptional rating.
