scuzzi's italian restaurant

disappointed. made reservation in the morning of our first visit, which they gladly accepted. waited about 10 minutes to be seated and then was walked to patio, which we did not ask for. when i told greeter we had a reservation for inside i was told only patio was available and should have been told that when i made the reservation. waited approx. 15 more minutes and were seated inside. food was fine, but prefer other places. waiter was unfriendly and snooty, but did serve the food adequately. don't plan to return. there are much betteritalianrestaurants in san antonio.

consistently great!. this restaurant is a rare find in san antonio. if you're looking for the typical san antonio dining experience that's so loud you can barely hear yourself think much less carry on a conversation, and where the wait staff is only concerned about their tip, then this isn't the restaurant for you. this is a great place to take family and friends if you want to enjoy a wonderful meal, conversation, and a nice atmosphere. we eat here regularly and have never been disappointed with the food or service. i'mitalianand very particular about my food but this restaurant ranks among the best in san antonio without the high price of more popular spots where people go just to be seen.

yesterday we celebrated mother's day here with a reservation for 30 at 12:00 noon. we couldn't have been happier with the way we were received and treated even though it was such a busy day. naturally since it was mother's day the restaurant was packed but the majority of our party was able to be seated and attended to even though many of us arrived before our reservation time. some had to wait a short time for an additional table to open up but it was no big deal. in the meantime the waiters and management were more than accommodating by helping the little kids to be fed as soon as possible. the waiters, expediters, and beverage staff were efficient and attentive despite our large party. we were delighted with the experience but more importantly the 7 mothers in our group (all italian) were very pleased which was a real accomplishment. thanks to the management and staff for a great experience!

excellent service, quiet ambiance and well prepared food at this establishment. definitely one of the betteritalianrestaurants i have been to in san antonio. at this visit, we had the chicken marsala the chicken gorgonzola and the ahi tuna appetizer. all were exceptional and you could tell all the sauces used were from scratch. definitely recommend this location.

a great effort that fell a little short. this was our first visit and we were instantly impressed with the attentiveness of the staff. we were seated immediately, and our waiter appeared shortly after. we were informed about the very attractive drink specials, and i ordered a skinny margarita that was served with no sour mix, but was too sweet with agave for my taste. our waiter offered to replace the drink, but i drank that one and ordered another without the agave, and it was much better. we ordered the shrimp appetizer that was perfectly cooked and served on a hot plate, but the shrimp was only warm, and would have been excellent with hot shrimp. the house salad was good with mixed greens, and a houseitaliandressing. my wife ordered tomato basil soup that tasted sour. the manager immediately knew that there was not enough cream in the soup, and offered to make another, that came out much better. we split the prime ribeye with a side of potatoes, and this was our biggest disappointment. the ribeye itself seemed like a good cut, but the flavor of the steak was overpowered by the heavy char flavor of the grill, and the mushroom gravy poured over the steak. we are not sure if the gravy was mentioned on the menu, but it really takes away from a steak. the potatoes were heavy on the rosemary for me, but it could be a matter of taste.
the wednesday drink specials are a great value, and the service was really extraordinary, the food just was not what it could be.

i went here on valentine's day and truly felt the love and confidence from the staff. the inside of this restaurant is quite quaint . the complimentary bread and olive oil they give is divine and perfectly flaky. i haven't tried every dish, however, if you are looking for a delicious, old schoolitalianrestaurant, look no further.

i love this place. the atmosphere is great, they have a bar are if you just want to sit back and watch a game, and they even have a party room if you want to have a party or meeting. i love their food, its so rich in flavor. been here many times and its one of my favoritesitalianrestaurant.

a+ food, a+ staff and excellent wine selection! my spinach carciofi was delicious and the knowledgeable bartender paired it with an amazingitalianwine.
if you want incredibleitalianfood with upscale atmosphere you need to go to scuzzi's.

if you loveitalianyou must visit scuzzi's, they have great food and excellent service. they also have happy hour and a wide variety of wines.

my girlfriend and i took my son for a simple lunch. and let me tell you we had two very different experiences. first off, i'm anitalianamerican born and raised in brooklyn new york. so i know myitalianfood and take it extremely serious. and this place, does too!
their food was absolutely delicious. the pasta, the pizza, the fried calamari, the wine, everything! the night of my birthday we had who i later learned was the owner service us, mazi. he was very cheerful and warming. his night staff was as well. my family and i felt at home and had a lot of fun celebrating together there.

deliciousitalianeatery in san antonio. my friend and i came across this place couple of days ago. top notch service from the waiters and staff. they were great with recommendations.

the food itself was amazing. i ordered the grilled tenderloin and it was heaven! just the right amount to leave you full, but also light enough where you didn't feel like you were in a food coma. very reasonable prices. 

i'm definitely coming back next time i'm in the area!

lunch: we (3) arrived early (11;00) and seated at a 4 top.  atmosphere is beautiful and tables are spaced pleasantly so no bumping other chairs.  food was good.italianwedding soup could have more flavor, maybe made with a stock instead of water? bruschetta topping was so great but crustini underneath was really thin & soggy. bathrooms need a little maintenance, ie; securing toilet seats, sweeping corners. theitalianmargarita was most excellent.  best part of the whole experience: alex, our server. very attentive, courteous & helpful with our selection. would recommend this place on him alone.

i have only made one visit to scuzzi's and was very pleased with it. excellent food, i had veal marsala with pesto pasta, everything was good, and fair prices. i highly recommend a visit if you have not been, for some excellentitalianfood.

very poor service. on thursday dec 4th i had my wife call in an order for 2italiansausage and peppers with roasted potatoes. it was shortly after 5 pm when i arrived to p/u my food. when i entered the restuarant there was no one in the reception area and 1 table in the dining room with a customer.
your waiter dennis came out, i said i was p/u an order to go for bob. dennis said the order was being put together at the time.
i paid for the food, i left a favorable tip, and waited for the food.
while standing in the reception area, a group of 3 ladies came into the bar and dennis went to service them. from that point on dennis did not check on my order, 25 minutes went by, and he sat in a corner with his i phone.
you had a receptionist who had a bad cough. she walked throughout the dining area coughing sneezing and even wiped her nose on her sleeve.
at one point the receptionist took a white towel, sneezed in it, then took the liquid to wipe down the menus and sprayed the contaminated towel with this liquid and proceeded to wipe the menus.
all this time i am waiting in the reception area and no one has even asked me what i was there for. this went on for 20 plus minutes.
finally another waiter came over to me and asked if he could help me and if i would like a drink of water. i said no thank you i am just waiting for my takeout food which should have already been cooked with only 1 customer in the dining room.
finally brian my original waiter came towards me and asked if he could help me, after 25 minutes. i said i just wanted to get my food and leave. this waiter did not even remember me and i was the only person standing alone in the receptionist area for 25 minutes.
this is the first time i have ever written a bad report on any restaurant. the service was piss poor to say the least. the food was good. which saved the day.

i'd rather cook instead. we were excited to try a newitalianrestaurant and give my husband a change from the typical eateries around where we live. let's just say we were thoroughly underwhelmed with the food this restaurant had to offer. the staff are very friendly and shaky/nervous. our waiter actually stabbed my chest while cleaning the bread crumbs from the table and dropped a spoon on our friends' head. in the future for the hiring manager, servers with steady hands might help. my husband's dish would have been better at olive garden, which neither of us are fans of. the chicken in my dish seemed to be anorexic. i would expect higher quality and/or larger portions for the price of admission. sadly, this is not the case at scuzzi'sitaliangrill.

amore. i love the food here. we return every 4-8 wks. it seems like this is one of the fewitalianrestaurants that has a good variety of seafood dishes and definitely many dishes made very tastefully without tomatoes - red sauces are good but you can get them everywhere. what aren't as prevalent in this town are wonderful white sauces, especially like they have here.
