scopa caffe cucina

i eat here often and thefoodis good but the chefs need to watch their mouths, it's a little restaurant and you can here everything said in the kitchen even in the busiest of services.
and their hot chocolate is like a chocolate crème patisserie, it should be the filling for a doughnut.
rather average over all unfortunately, it has some real potential to be a great restaurant

now i remember why i stopped coming here. we were sat at 1pm. it took just over 50 minutes for our pizza and pasta to arrive. when we did ask at the 30 minute mark where ourfoodwas, we were told that our order was next. i didn't realize that meant the cook hadn't even started our ticket.

i wish they had warned us, prior to seating, that the kitchen was backed up almost an hour so we could have made an informed decision.  other restaurants provide that honest courteousness here in wellington and it is always appreciated.

but i felt really bad for the three-top behind us; they were visibly and audibly hangry, too, like us. it's not good to keep older people waiting that long....it plays havoc with metabolism and blood sugar levels.

the lesson is: don't go there on weekdays if you have anything to do ... like work, run errands, or appointments.

the pizza is good with a nice crunchy crust.  papardelle pesto with chevre was delicious....but was swimming in pesto -- too much.

terrible experience - decent food.

goodfoodand environment，also location. specially have nice wheather. i will come back again：） 环境和食物都不错，天气好在窗边坐着最舒服了，服务也很好，西餐的好处就是没有味精，主要不是油炸的普片比中餐健康，既然人在异乡多尝试不同的风格。想吃中餐可能自己做是最好的。

quality offoodhas gone down. pizza was like something you’d buy from sals or fastfoodoutlet. not authentic italian food

excellentfoodand service!
highly highly recommend the hot chocolate, unlike any other!
pizza was tasty albeit crust was quite hard and difficult to cut.
fried chicken was super tasty, with a honey-based sauce; highly recommend!

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

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 thefoodcame before i had to leave. yummy pizza too. definitely use the table oil, it’s great.

been here a couple of times and the last one was for a leaving dinner of a friend who is moving back overseas. thefood(we ordered pizza) is  always amazing and they serve the best hot chocolate in nz! one of the staff though was so rude she literally stood in front of us waiting for us to finish the drink! two were nice and friendly. disappointed with the other one. i might not go back in the near future due to rude staff.

thefoodand coffee is fine but was disappointed with the service, and while the price is comparable to other italian eateries, it is at a level where you want everything to be on point. the restrooms are worth a visit though.

this is a lovely place to have coffee on a windy day in wellington by busy cuba street. 
the cafe has a lovely setting and is very comfortable for breaky or lunch. the place had great service andfoodis quick to come out. we got a table by the window so we enjoyed the sun without being in the wind. coffee was really good and i did enjoy our experience here.

i would recommend to others.

had a good dinner a scopa a few weeks ago. we needed to wait for a while for a table but wasn't a bother and they look after you.foodwhen we ordered came quickly and i really like how it's actually hot every time. special pizza had a lot of salsa verde on it quite rich but everything else we enjoyed. recommend scopa

very busy on a friday night but the staff seemed organised and ourfoodwas quick to arrive. the calamari and caprese salad to start were good, and the mains; seafood pasta, mushroom risotto and gorgonzola pizza; were also very fresh and tasty. the desserts were simple but worked well as a small sweet treat after dinner. overall a good quality italian meal and experience.

had an amazing experience at scopa last night, pre show drinks and dinner. us girls shared a bottle of wine, gluten free pizza and a salad. the wait staff were very attentive and helpful,foodand drinks served quickly and all great value for money. i will definitely be returning.

went for brunch with friends. good service with friendly waiting staff. foodwas good, with a reasonable selection offoodavailable.

need to come back at another time to try the pizza.

had a delicious pizza at scopa the other day. it was a simple pizza: tomato base, a few prawns, rocket, and i added a good dose of chilli oil and it was absolutely divine. i was one piece off finishing the entire thing. i like the atmosphere here, it’s great on a sunny day when the doors are open and the sun pours in. the service here isn’t very good which is a shame. i asked if the pork on one of the pizza’s was free range and the young man gave some big story about how they imported all their ingredients from italy so it must be. when i asked another waitress, she said “i’ll just find out” she promptly came back and reported that it was. however, neither staff members were very friendly and took their time to take our order. the service here is way too casual and the wait staff are inexperienced. overall though, i really recommend this place, thefoodand ambience are delightful.
