The food here is absolutely amazing and so is the selection of wine. The lady managing that night was warm and attentive. The staff were also wonderful. The food was delivered speedily and the atmosphere was great. This place has a great reputation and I'll be sure to have my other friends come other times
What an absolute gem of a find. Scoozi was where we chose to celebrate our daughters Engagement tonight. The ambience, service and the delicious food could not be faulted. Thank you for a great evening and the special surprise at the end. Cheers �
Scoozi is quite the departure from your quintessential local Italian. The pizzas coming off the pass here are nothing short of superb with the bases the real hero being lab cultivated. However, quality comes at a price, so expect to part with a fair bit of your hard earned but...quality is remembered when price is long forgotten.
Overall Scoozi comes highly recommended at around $50-60 per head for 2-3 courses.
Pizza fungi was exceptional, the special spaghetti was flavorsome and the pudding dessert to die for.
Lovely food. Recommend that roasted capsicums and grilled eggplant starters. The pizza is thin crust and delicious. Excellent service and very friendly hostess. Would come again
Best gnocchi I have eaten. It was so light and fluffy and the sauce complimented it really well. Pizza was delish, service was great and they made us feel like family. Will definitely be back.
This restaurant is a little away from the main restaurants on Union Road, Ascot Vale but even then it was booked out for a Friday night. We were warmly greeted and quickly escorted to our table.
The restaurant specialises in homemade pasta and pizza and have been competitively participating in pizza making contests around the world. It will be celebrating its 10th birthday in May and has already been booked out for the occasion. Being in the business for 10 years is a great achievement.
My partner ordered for $26.00 Gnocchi Crema which contained porchetta, field mushrooms and cream. The gnocchi was soft pillowy morsels with a generous serve of mushrooms. The only disappointment was the meal could have been hotter, it was lukewarm at best.
On the other hand, I had the housemade Spaghetti Pescatore with a bountiful amount of fresh seafood , cherry tomatoes, pesto and pine nuts for $28.00.
The prices are a tad high for the sizes of our meals and the ingredients are sourced from local and overseas (D.O.P.) ingredients.
We decided to share a deconstructed Tiramisu at $14.00 which as its name describes was not the traditionally Tiramisu but was delicate and delicious.
The restaurant had a very interesting wine menu combining both Australian and Italian wines. The Australian wines are reasonably prices and most of the Italian wines are priced between $50.00 to $65.00.
Nice place. We would come back for a special Italian meal.
I had dinner last night, First time at Scoozi, Food was Amazing.. Staff Fantastic!!
Such quality food, great little place.
I will defiantly go again.
Good fare on offer here. Then again some of the people work there are Sicilian so of course it will be. Treat yourself to a great meal with great accompaniments. va bene
Absolutely love this restaurant. Incredible, authentic pizzas, fantastic starters (especially love the Arancini and calamari!), and always lovely service.
Love coming here. Always get the gnocchi. It's light, fluffy and melts in the mouth. Garlic pizza is delicious. Bit on the pricier side but you get what you pay for.
If you're going here you need to grab a pizza. It tastes AMAZING!! It's interesting because these guys are pizza certified from Naples so the pizza actually doesn't come sliced.... This part is annoying. But to maintain their accreditation I respect them for not cutting it. You have to understand if you're coming here you're going to get an Italian Style pizza not some Australian adaptation of heaps of toppings and chunky base - which reading other reviews is what I feel people find negative
Service is so lovely also - we had Laura for the evening and I was very impressed that she could remember the specials; all our orders ; drinks and didn't even look at her notes or write a note.
If I had to pick negatives it was the difficulty in seeing the menu which i is think was due to the lighting where we were sitting
Price wise... Pizzas are approx 25 so a little on the higher side but it seems that everyone is heading in that direction unless you're grabbing a local take away pizza
Would I go back? definitely!
This place is a GEM! Being served food that people are passionate enough about to suggest how to eat it is a privilege, It’s also a great experience! The food here is amazing and so is the service. Thank you!
Fantastic authentic Italian food. Delicious wine.
Great staff and family vibe.
6 stars if I could.
Very tasty and authentic Italian food. Delicious seafood risotto (prawns and squid). Love the chewy pizza crust with the blisters from the hot woodfired oven. A must try
Such a lovely Italian restaurant! Food is great and authentic and the service was outstanding. The staff are proud of their food (as they should be!) and they made a genuine effort to ensure we were comfortable and enjoyed our dinner. Very warm and homey atmosphere. My only minor criticism is that they had pop music playing, which felt a bit out of place and didn’t match the ambience. Easily addressed with a playlist that’s more chill, or maybe even something traditional. Had dinner here with a group of 5 and they were more than happy to cater to some dietary requirements (and so nice about it too). Definitely recommend this place. Thanks for such a great dinner!
Ever since we’ve moved to Ascot Vale, Scoozi has been our go to Italian restaurant for dining in and taking away. The staff always remember us and the service is lovely. The food is authentic Neapolitan and you can tell how proud they are to share it with you. Quirky decorations and an original vibe. The free bottle of wines with our takeaway orders is so generous! Thanks Scoozi! <3
Accidentally placed an order for pick up thinking this was Mi Scuzi in Fitzroy. It was totally my fault but they were really nice about it. A+ customer care. Definitely plan to go now.
