This family-owned restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and full menu. The quality of their sauce was superb. The basket of garlic bread was crisp and very good. Be careful not to eat too much because the meals are enough to feed two people. This place is a gem in a residential area. Not disappointed at all and can’t wait to tell the lady at the hotel how good it is.” — 5268ORlisar

  • Address: 1730 Union Street
  • Top review: “Scotti’s was highly recommended by a foodie friend and it didn’t disappoint. It was our first visit even though it, and its great reputation, have been around forever. Scotti’s hardly needs yet another favorable review, but goes anyway. We were warmly greeted and waited just a few minutes for our table. They are always busy so be sure to make a reservation. Four of us shared a nice and reasonably priced Chianti. All four entrees were proclaimed delicious. My wife specifically went for the eggplant parm, which she said was excellent. Everything seems to be scratch here. We skipped dessert and coffee, and by doing that I’m sure we missed out on even more wonderfulness. Service was friendly but slow, as Scotti’s is still rebuilding their staff as we all inch our way out of Covid impacts. Just be a bit patient, and you’ll love the entire charming and delicious experience. Highly recommended.” — SkyKingBoston

Anna, Lou, and all the staff are so welcoming – it’s like we’re visiting family! The chicken parmesan is incredible and the eggplant parmesan it’s the best I’ve ever had anywhere! (although this latest time it was a little spicy). Each dish comes with soup or salad – I highly recommend the salad with homemade bleu cheese dressing. For dessert, be sure to grab a slice of chocolate cream pie before they are gone! It really is a wonderful experience every time.” — katieskritiques

Our server, Salvatore, greeted us at the door wishing us a happy anniversary. It just got better from there. The homemade bread, the delicious salad, the Chianti, and our entrées were fabulous. I had the Calamari with homemade pasta and my husband had the stuffed veal. Huge portions of just wonderful homemade food. Homemade vanilla gelato for dessert topped off a relaxing, memorable meal. Will return for certain.” — Cslec
