" Had a great dinner at Scornovacca's! We started with the appetizer sampler, which was a hit. The onion rings were particularly crispy, and the bruschetta was delicious. For mains, I opted for the combo pizza, and it lived up to the hype. The service was attentive throughout, although it got busy as the night went on. I appreciated the authentic Italian vibe they had going. The atmosphere was casual and laid-back, perfect for family gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I dropped in for a late lunch and was eager to try their famous onion rings, which did not disappoint! They were crispy and flavorful. Besides that, I had the meat lasagna, which was decent but certainly not the best I’ve had. While the food was alright, the wait time for service left much to be desired. I ended up waiting overly long for my bill after I finished my meal. A good place for a casual bite if you don't mind the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Scornovacca's is a great spot for families! There’s something for everyone on the menu, and the prices are reasonable for large portions. We had the combo appetizer and it was more than enough for three people. The pizza was a hit with the kids, while I enjoyed a delicious ravioli dish. The environment is family-oriented and cheerful, making it a nice venue for casual dining. I recommend this location for group gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful family dinner at Scornovacca's. This was our first time here, and we were pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome from the staff. The food was hearty and tasted homemade, which I loved. I had the spaghetti and garlic bread, which were both delicious! The only slight downside was that we felt the place could use a bit of redecorating to freshen it up a little. Overall, a lovely experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Scornovacca's has an old-school charm that you don't see often in restaurants these days. I feel like I'm dining in a classic Italian family kitchen. The food is hearty and satisfying! I tried their lasagna and it was rich, cheesy, and delicious. The service was friendly but a bit slow. Still, I appreciated the authentic environment that made up for it. This is a lovely spot to enjoy good food with good company. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Scornovacca's, and I was absolutely blown away! The pizza was like a slice of heaven with a perfect balance of crust, sauce, and toppings. I ordered the pepperoni and extra cheese, and it was phenomenal. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, with friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The only downside was that the place was a bit crowded on a Friday night, which made the service slightly slower than expected. However, the delicious food made it worth the wait. I will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner with my significant other at Scornovacca's! The ambiance set a romantic scene, perfect for a date night. We ordered a bottle of wine along with their famous meatball sub, which was nothing short of amazing. The flavors were bold and comforting. Our server was attentive and never let our glasses go empty. For dessert, we couldn’t resist the cannoli, which was delightful! Highly recommend this place for couples looking for a nice meal.
