Fodor's Review:

Scopa is a card game played in most parts of Italy, but at this tiny new Healdsburg eatery of the same name, the food is not a game: it's a very serious business. Chef Ari Rosen cooks up Northern Italian specialties such as pillowy house-made gnocchi, tomato-braised chicken, and Tonno del Chianti (a marinated, shredded pork dish with greens and a fig balsamic marmellata). Simple thin-crust pizzas are worth ordering, too. Locals love the restaurant for its lack of pretension: wine is served in juice glasses, and the friendly hostess visits guests frequently to make sure all are satisfied. For the complete experience, book dinner on a Sunday and arrive early; the place opens at 1 p.m. to host a big game of—what else?—Scopa.
