It's a little of this, a little of that and a whole new take on Italian.
Our story is simple. Everything we can make fresh daily, we do. Including our hand-stretched mozzarella (made-to-order every day between 5pm & 11pm), our pasta, our signature 1/2 lb meatballs, our dough, bread and desserts.

    The bread pudding dessert was not good. Stale and burnt taste. Only the ice cream was edible. Chicken parm was a large breast and not flattened for the cheese and sauce. But still tasted ok.

    My Caesar salad seemed to have been made with all the insides of the stalk rather than the outer greens. Terribly disappointed with the meal that cost $28 after taxes. It was not a good meal. The server never came back to check on us and we had to wave him/others down

    Let's be clear. This is not an Italian restaurant. Every meal contains a little of everything and nothing works well together. The "Chefs" do not have any notion of culinary balance. Culinary balance involves creating dishes that are flavorful, visually appealing, and pleasing to the palate. This can involve using fresh, high-quality ingredients, incorporating a variety of textures and flavors, and balancing the use of spices and seasonings. The owners do, however, know how to charge the maximum price for poor food. You will pay well and eat poorly.

    It’s was very busy and I can understand why drinks and food wasn’t so good. But maybe restaurants should be more prepared for the busy season to manage and deliver on quality.

    I have eaten at Scaddabush many times. This was my 1st meal at this location. I was given a table in a quiet section as requested. Our server was very good. The food was disappointing. The brochetta was soggy, the pasta needed more sauce and the spinach avocado dip was like green mud. The food at the Etobicoke location was so much better prepared. I will not recommend this location

    I've been to Scaddabush many times, I'm very fond of the fresh mozzarella. However, this time, we ordered a butternut squash pasta and it was too dry; the staff did give us a free desert. This was the only time that I've had an issue with the restaurant.

    Had my reservation for 6:15pm. Took waitress forever to take our order after we were seated. Was almost 30 mins after. Food came out almost 25 mins after order placed. I ordered the tomat fennel soup as an appetizer. It was cold. The waitress never came around to ask me how it was or if I wanted pepper or cheese on top. A gentleman from the kitchen delivered my spaghetti and meatballs, which was also cold. We ran out of water at the table. Our waitress was no where to be found. I did not eat my spaghetti, because of the state it was in. My friend ordered a margarita pizza and there was 2 mozzarella balls on it. I had to hunt our waitress down for the bill, as we had a concert to go to. Highly disappointed with quality of food and service. I literally have thrown my money out the door and will choose to go elsewhere for Italian next time we go out.

    We tried Scaddabush, and arrived early for our reservation - so we checked in, and got a drink at the bar. Our reservation time came and went, and I had to go back and see how close we were, since it was no longer busy (late reservation). They’d forgotten about us, and seated us immediately once I went to the host station. We got the mozzarella. It was fabulous! But then our food took about an hour to come out. Our server came over a few times and apologized - said the kitchen had trouble with one of our dishes. When it finally came, it was ok. Some of the pasta was clumpy, and one dish needed salt. The main course was nothing like the appetizer in terms of quality! By the time we’d finally gotten our bill and left, we’d been there about 3 hours. It was ok, but definitely not worth the time invested.

    We’ve tried many Scaddabush locations and the food is pretty much on par at all of them. It was very busy and things took longer but we are still happy about our restaurant choice.
