scopa caffe cucina

came here for a short break from studying in the afternoon and was absolutely stunned (in a good way) by the amazing hot chocolate they have on their menu. it is a little heavy, but the thickness of it is perfect. it also isn't sweet as what you'd expect with chocolate. the dark and rich flavor was exactly what i needed that day.

i will be certainly coming back for more, hopefully for a meal.

i went to scopa, 8pm sunday night and got a italian hot chocolate with my 3 friends. half way through our hot chocolates my friend pulled a chunk of glass out of her mouth. the piece of glass was the length of a 10 cent and 1 cm thick. we each passed it around to see what it was and then went to ask for the hot chocolate to be remade and to find out where it came from. they only offered to remake one of the hot chocolate (the one with glass) even after we expressed concern and asked if it could be in any of the others. there were no apologies and we were dismissed at every chance with "its not glass its ice". the glass was sitting in her hot chocolate for more than 5 minutes so there was no possibility for it to be ice as it would have melted. the staff were rude and treated us as if we were in the wrong for expressing concern about this extreme health and safety issue. they need better health and safety precautions and better training on customer service.

pasta of the day was underwhelming though cheap. gamberi pizza was just so so. ambience is good though. not worth the price. lots more to offer elsewhere i reckon..

the food was amazing and the hot chocolate is one of the best in the world.

you can’t beat scopa for their $8 margherita lunch deal. not the most wow magherita of all time, but for $8 it’s an actual steal. the chili oil is copious and it is dope

food was alright. i like the generous piece of fish in the burger but the bun was a bit thick for my taste.
service was excellent as always.

i was quite excited to come back after 5 years.
ended up leaving without ordering after main host lady responded with a blunt "what?" when i was wanting to make an enquiry with her.

been to scopa multiple times for pizzas and mains, always great flavours with a busy atmosphere. i only just found out about their hot chocolates which are to die for! nice thick and velvet texture a real pleasure to drink.

service was 11/10. i heard from fellow aucklanders that the hot chocolates were worth a stop and they did not disappoint! swung by for a quick meal before my flight home and the waitress was so accommodating amongst the dinner rush to make sure the food came before i had to leave. yummy pizza too. definitely use the table oil, it’s great.

i love scopa and come here all the time for dinner. their pizzas are amazing, its great service and the vibe in the restaurant is great. the staff are always super helpful and friendly

looked on zomato and found scopa, looked at the menu on-line and knew what i was going to order. sat down in the restaurant and the menu was different which threw me plus i didn’t see a pizza oven, i love wood fired pizza :(

i was pleasantly surprised, the pizza is tasty and thin. base is crispy and it holds the toppings well, yummy.

the only down side to scopa is their wine by the glass selection. the only sauvignon blanc on the menu was one of the worst i have tasted.

not bad! much better impression of the ambience in person compared to the photos i looked at. we started with the marinated olives, very nice. then had the prawn and crab linguine and margarita pizza. would have preferred more sauce in the pasta, and perhaps a tad too salty. both competent dishes, overall. the wine selection is vast, with useful descriptions of each one.

nice beautiful spot. perfect for a small group of friends.
nice selection of beers and amazing italian hot chocolate. highly recomend to try there hot chocolate something totally different.

amazing service and wonderful food. great place for a small group. they were able to cater for my requests with no fuss. portion sizes left us wanting just a little more but the tastes were spot on. can see why it's always so busy!

went there for the italian hot chocolate after i had heard so much about it. the size (i ordered a large at $6) can be deceiving. it might look not-so-large at first, but it's alot! it's rich, thick and smooth. loved it. totally worth it. going back for more❤️
