" Celebrated my anniversary at Scampo and it was truly unforgettable. The atmosphere was romantic with gentle music in the background. We tried the lobster pizza which was divine, along with a variety of desserts made by the talented pastry chef Thomas. I was beyond impressed with the service, as they went out of their way to make our special day even more memorable! " (*Curated Review*)

" Scampo surprised me with the creativity in their dishes! The combination of flavors was not something I encountered before, very impressive. The attention from the staff was phenomenal, catering to all our needs and inquiries. I did get a good portion size relative to the price, which is a definite plus. I would love to visit again and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Scampo has a fantastic menu and an inviting ambiance. I thoroughly enjoyed the clam pasta, which was well-executed and loaded with flavor! The service staff understood the menu well; our server was knowledgeable and attentive. I'd easily recommend Scampo to anyone after a delicious meal in a unique setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love Scampo, but my experience was marred by several service hiccups. My steak was cooked perfectly, but we waited far too long for our appetizers. The food was good, but I expect more from a restaurant of this caliber. The atmosphere was inviting, and the decor was creative, so I'm mixed about whether I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Scampo is a gem! The unique decor in the old prison setting adds an interesting touch. I loved the vibrant cocktails, and every dish from the duck to the desserts was nicely curated. Service was stellar too, attentive without being overwhelming. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun night out! " (*Curated Review*)

The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. I can't wait to return for another fun evening out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Scampo provided an excellent dining experience. While I was slightly concerned about the pricing, the quality of the food justified it. I had the ravioli, which was fantastic; the flavors were on point, complemented by the lovely environment. Our server was great too, very engaging and professional. I'll definitely recommend this spot to friends. " (*Curated Review*)
