I do not recommend this restaurant.
I ordered the rockfish. The menu stated it came with rice pilaf, but I received plain white rice that had no flavor. The rockfish also lacked flavor. $30 definitely seemed overpriced for the entree. The server was not very friendly and she gave vibes that she did not want to be there. It seemed like she scoffed when we ordered glasses of wine and not a bottle. She seemed too informal; she set the wine glasses down with too much force, and dropped silverware when clearing the plates. On a positive note, water was refilled more than once and we were asked if we wanted more bread.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Amber E.MD, MD011Jan 13, 2024
Very good food
Although a little on the pricey side, it's a wonderful place to settle for a quiet afternoon or evening mealHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bennett F.Swarthmore, PA8311650Sep 2, 2023
Had dinner at Scossa last night. First off Sarah our server was awesome!
Chicken-ricotta-spinach manicotti was delicious
Spinach pear and Gorgonzola salad...ok needed something crispy mentioned some candied nuts or fried prosciutto or pork belly
Bronzino was good although fish could have benefited from a little salt and pepper
Gnocchi with tomatoes basil and sausage was great...
Over all excellent meal would go back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Oct 10, 2022
Very nice atmosphere. Pleasant staff, kickass bartender. My martini's nice and very cold. The food came out very quickly. The bread, I believe ciabatta, and the cheese crisps were tasty. The Caesar salad was good, the white anchovies were very nice but there were only two. No croutons and the were some cherry tomatoes, so not your standard Caesar. The wine list is small but we'll thought out. Albeit a bit light in the Italian section, only two Chianti and one amerone. However there is plenty else to choose from. I had the Roma rosso Lasco 2019 and it was very nice. I ordered the lamb shanks, served with broccolini and roasted potatoes. The lamb was tasty, some of the edges were a bit dry, but that can be expected. I splurged to order the tiramisu and a double espresso. The espresso had a good crema on top. The tiramisu is very nice. Over all a fine dinner.

Came in with a party of 4. The server was awesome and attentive. Specials were given and sounded appetizing. Ordered the seafood salad and was underwhelmed. All the fish was fresh and cooked perfectly but the dish fell flat. Olive oil and lemon with corn and cabbage. I had the veal scallopine with vegetables. The veal was tough and overcooked. Had more of a gravy than a sauce and was bacon forward. Needed acidity " lemon/ wine and to be at temp. The guest had a leg of lamb with risotto. Also over cooked dry and the gravy was not good. Risioto was rice and butter. Halibut was the only dish that was cooked well. Lemon capers and white wine. Cooked perfectly and flavorful. Overall for a check near 200$, I wouldn't pick this place again.

Absolutely outstanding food and service. Caesar salad, seafood salad, veal meatballs, ravioli with spinach and ricotta, salmon, scallop risotto, and cannoli. Every dish was spectacular.

I come to this restaurant at least 1-2 times a month. The last time i was here I ordered cheesecake for dessert to go. I got home and it was so awful i had to throw it out. I went again a week later for dinner and told the waiter about my experience. He said they knew it was a problem and took it off the menu. I ordered a different dessert to go and he charged me for it. I asked him to have the manager take it off since the last one i paid for was so bad i had to throw it out. He said he asked the owner and she refused to offer it at no cost. I asked for her to come over and very nicely i explained how I come very often and the last dessert was old and went bad. Her response was that i should have called the next day and told them. I told her i come often and figured i would just wait until the next time i was there. She said that's their policy and I should not have waited to let them know. I said I will not be returning and she said ok. What a disgusting way to treat any customer let alone one that comes so often. They give you food that would probably have made me ill, they acknowledged it was a problem, yet she would not offer me a replacement at no cost. I've never been treated with such disrespect and animosity by a business owner. As one myself I was completely shocked by her response and offensive attitude. She lost a good customer over a $12 dessert that she knew went bad. Stay away from this place! Not worth it at all!

The menu, execution, presentation and service are excellent! We had sea scallops with mushrooms and sage to start. Then my companion had veal scallopini with nicely done (al dente) vegetables while I had shrimp and mushrooms with pasta. Sorry, no room for dessert.
I will address a concern: when we called to make a reservation, I asked if we could bring our six pound Yorkshire Terrier, who is both a service dog and an emotional support dog for us. The person I spoke with was very clear that Scossa had one indoor table at which such a dog was permitted, and one table outdoors. I asked for the indoor table. When we arrived, she pointed us to a table off by itself at the end of your bar. We felt as though we'd been exiled from the other dining patrons. Support and service dogs are normally treated as if they're part of the "guest list"; such dogs are NOT treated as a reason to exile guests to a table distant from other diners. (There was a crying infant that was part of some gathering at Scossa this evening that I'm sure everyone in the restaurant could hear, but that baby and its family weren't sent to "no man's land," as we were.)
In hotels and every restaurant we've gone to till now, properly documented service and support animals (as ours is) are accepted as if they are a normal part of a party.
I don't think you should discriminate against people with service and support animals, first, by having only one indoor and one outdoor table and, second, by putting that indoor table, at least, fairly far away from your other dining guests. That was a very disappointing part of our experience this eveningHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - J B.Largo, FL07231Nov 6, 2022
In town for a wedding and chose Scossa for the first nite. Wine list was good; romantic atmosphere. Our party of four started with the calamari which was not greasy and most importantly not over cooked. Could have used some lemon in my opinion. We enjoyed it. Salads were good; nice to have a choice so we split a few. On to the entrees. Two of us picked risotto. Veal scallopini and chicken parmigiana rounded out the foursome. Risotto was fine; not as creamy as I would have liked. The person who ordered the veal said it was the best ever. Chicken parm was good too. The wait staff shared tables so nothing waited unnecessarily. We'd recommend it to others. Prices were kind of splurgy, but we were away for the weekend so that was ok with us.
