Scotti's Pizzeria - Schenectady

Ordered Cavatelli and broccoli. Got a bowl of bland broccoli. Sadly, it was a takeout order so I was stuck. Really not hard to get this one right but somehow they failed miserably… and the loaves of unwrapped bread in the bag was another sad issue.

Our server was wonderful, it was her first day. However, when my wife and I walked in the front door, they looked at us like we didn’t belong there and asked if they could help us. We were dressed appropriately for this restaurant so I was wondering why they didn’t think we were there to eat. Funny… maybe they don’t like LGBTQ folks? That was off putting for a first impression, guess we should’ve left, but we were super hungry. I ordered ricotta cavatelli and broccoli . Why they decided to give me two crown full of broccoli with like 12 pieces of little pasta I don’t know. It was overwhelming. It said it had olive oil, but all I tasted was runny pasta, water at the bottom of my bowl, and for some reason they decided they’d go ahead and put some spinach in it, which was not on the menu! Anyways, the hostesses were rude upon arrival and they obviously don’t know their menu. My wife’s shrimp Alfredo was watery and not flavorful other than that, the salads and bread were good. Good luck with the parking and if you’re looking for a quiet, romantic place to eat, this is not that. It was very overwhelmingly, loud and entirely small seating. I was bumped in the back of my chair by different waitresses three times during my meal without an excuse me.

We went to dinner at Scotti's recently and it was incredible. I had the Veal Gaetano and my wife had the Chicken with white wine. Both were superb ....the veal tender and perfectly cooked and the chicken moist and delicious. The sides broccoli and linguini were an excellent complement to our dinner. To top it off we had the tiramisu and it was easily the best tiramisu of any restaurant we've visited. Kudos to the owner and staff for a great evening!

From the moment we sat down to the moment we left it was disappointing. Despite being the 3rd table seated we were ignored and had to ask if we could order drinks while tables around us who arrived later ordered drinks and apps. Then some awkward gentleman came to get our drink order. It seemed that we may had offended them. The blue cheese salad dressing was like water. The minestra was tasteless and the stuffed mushrooms were as dry as the Sahara desert. Our dinners came out before we were even 1/2 way done with our apps and the waitress response was I’m just bringing out what the kitchen has done. I got the cavatelli and broccoli. The broccoli looked as if it was steamed and just added. It was nice and colorful but the dish was extremely tasteless, worse so than the soup. We laid 2 credit cards down to pay and someone snatched them up without even inquiring on how to split the bill. I don’t think it’s a bad restaurant. I just think I chose my selections poorly.

My mom and I went to Scotti's on a spur of tge moment great atmosphere! Food delicious gourmet style. Isabella our bartender was fantastic, drinks amazing!! We will return with the rest of the family. And the owner was Fabulous and welcoming! Vegetarian options: Mushroom stuffed pasta appetizer delicious
