Fodor's Expert Review Scopa
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
At his tiny, deservedly popular eatery, chef Ari Rosen prepares rustic Italian specialties such as sugo Calabrese (tomato-braised beef and pork rib), ravioli stuffed with ricotta, and simple thin-crust pizzas. Locals love the restaurant for its lack of pretension: wine is served in juice glasses, and the friendly hostess makes the rounds to ensure everyone is satisfied. You'll be packed in elbow-to-elbow with your fellow diners, but for a convivial evening over a bottle of Nebbiolo, there's no better choice. Known for: memorable cuisine; different winemaker serving wines every Wednesday; convivial vibe.
