If you’re looking for a memorable, fun, delicious meal— scampi is it. The whole team is fantastic and Liz’s passion and knowledge about the food she makes & products she uses makes the whole meal an experience without being pretentious. If you want good food, to feel like you’re getting your moneys worth for a pre-fix, and to support a young badass chef who cares a lot, go to scampi!
