Cafe Scalessa

Word on the golf course is this place is fantastic. We made reservations and this is the first time we have made reservations in awhile where we actually needed them. It was packed, and what an atmosphere! We have not been to the original, and do not go out for Italian often. Cafe Scalessa is apparently known for their gnocchi which was not really my thing, but now it is. How can you not love tiny pillows of fluffy potato heaven. We started with vodka sprite and the coconut blood orange margarita, and 4 Cheese Gnocchi, their version of mac and cheese. Wow, so creamy and cheesy! Of course we needed the pepperoni garlic bread, and our dinner came with house salads. He ordered the Veal Parm and I had the Chilean Sea Bass which just melted in my mouth. The portions were so large we took more t

I met a few friends here for dinner last night & we sat at the bar. The Veal Parm was the best i’ve ever had. Ida was awesome, attentive & cool to chat with. The wedding soup was excellent, to sum this up you’d be a moron to not eat here.

The first thing you notice when you walk into Cafe Scallesa is how loud it is, it’s hard to even hear yourself talk if you go during prime dinner time. The food reviews for the table were positive for the most part but definitely stay away from the soups and the seafood lasagna. As you can tell from the photo, the seafood lasagna is practically just cheese and a TON of it. Overall I gave Cafe Scallesa a 3 star rating as they give you a lot of food for your money and the chicken scallesa/cheesesteaks are excellent but the atmosphere and some of their selections lower their overall rating. Side note they also need to upgrade their seating as the chairs are wooden and uncomfortable

2/14/26 Walked in to a completely booked restaurant on valentine's day and the owner got us seated at the bar instead of just turning us away. The food was great and the over all vibe was fitting. Based on this experience I would highly recommend it for a some what old school Italian feel with a new age atmosphere.

First time at the cafe for dinner. Great service and food was simply delicious! We made reservations but opted to sit outside. Would definitely go back!
