This was our second Valentine’s Day here, and it’s officially become our place. The vibe is beautifully simple with an Italian aesthetic, upscale and elegant without ever feeling snooty or pretentious. It strikes the perfect balance between impressive and comfortable.
The food is consistently excellent, high quality, thoughtfully prepared, and absolutely delicious. The pricing reflects the quality and experience, and it feels well worth it. It’s the kind of spot you choose when you want to impress without feeling over-the-top.
The drinks are a standout. The Carajillo is a whole show and vibe (don’t skip it), and I had the best Cosmopolitan of my life. Stephen, our bartender, was incredible, attentive, friendly, and calm despite how packed and overwhelming Valentine’s night was. The Carajillo is a whole show, and Brandon our waiter performed it perfectly. It felt like dinner and a little bit of theater all in one. He was charming, attentive, and made sure every detail of our experience felt intentional.
There was a slight wait even with reservations, but it was Valentine’s Day, completely expected and honestly worth it.
We’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences here, and it’s safe to say this has become our annual Valentine’s tradition and likely our go to anytime we’re craving an elegant night out. Highly recommend for date nights, anniversaries, or even a business dinner with a beautiful backdrop.
10/10 — romance without the pretentiousness

this night my girlfriends and i had an AMAZING time at scuzzi’s. everyone including our waitress, hostess, other workers, and the owner was so patient, hospitable, and we never felt unwelcome. i came here 2 years ago during a very busy valentine’s, and even then, our service was amazing.
this time, we came to celebrate our friend’s late 21st birthday and having taken our last final of the semester! our waitress was named allison and she was too patient (way more than we deserved ) and fun! she checked on us a gracious number of times, which we appreciated.
for food: i ordered the pan-seared tuna and it came with a yummy mango asparagus sauce. it comes with spaghetti so i requested a lemon butter sauce on it i do wish it was a bit more zesty but it was delicious- not oily and heavy and also not bland! allison came around asking if we wanted cheese, salt, or pepper on everything 😀 so there’s really no complaints about something being too salty or undersalted.
it was my my friends’ first time at scuzzi’s and they ordered the beef tenderloin, chicken napolitano and grilled chicken. they loved their food. one of them ordered a red wine (we forgot the name) and thought it was sweet and decadent.
for dessert, i ordered the crème brûlée which came with strawberries and whipped cream on the side. i’m a sucker for custardy desserts so i was in heaven. it was one of the girls’ first time trying it!
at the end, the owner, mazi, was intent on making sure we celebrated, so the team brought out sparklers and canolis with yummy cold filling & chocolate chips for us. allison even took the time to take pictures for us before we left.
overall, we loved the fancy and inviting vibes at scuzzi’s and will be coming back, of course!!!

We had the most amazing New Years Eve celebration experience!!! Staff was beyond attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back to create many more memories. Food was beyond words, temperature on point, drinks so savory, and dessert the children couldn’t resist and tear into!!! So grateful we took a chance and picked a random restaurant and found Scuzzi’s 1604. Perfect ending to 2025

This is my first time here. The atmosphere and the service were very nice and satisfied. The server was excellent… He was on point. As far as the food… I order angel hair chicken alfredo. They served me the wrong pasta. They did correct the issue. One bit…. it was bland. No season… no flavor… I didn’t enjoy it at all. The server asked and did tell him how I felt. He did offer to remake the plate. He did offer me to order something else on the menu, and it was on the house, and I wasn’t going to pay for that either. They did apologize for the mistake and for me not liking the plate. I chose not to order anything because my party was getting ready to leave. The server did notify the manager and had it taken off the ticket. The manager came to me and gave me a gift card and apologized for the bad experience and hope that I would come back and give them a chance to make it right. They even gave me a dessert on the house to make up the experience I had. Overall, I would recommend this place for the service and atmosphere and food….just not the chicken alfredo…
The reason why they do get a two star from me because their meatballs as an appetizer were alright.

We went to this restaurant with two friends, and it was absolutely fantastic! The service was second to none. Our waiter was Ray. He made sure everything that we had was top-notch. He checked on us often, but he was not intrusive. Extremely friendly, great service & fantastic food. Highly recommend this place.

Brought my wife for a surprise birthday dinner and, Wow!!! We celebrated her birthday with a scrumptious dinner that would’ve impressed even the pickiest critic. She had the Scuzzi Shrimp; I had the Shrimp Daviola, both of which were magnificent in their presentation and taste. Our server, Dan, was the preeminent host throughout the evening. His easygoing manner immediately instilled confidence and his eye for customer service details never faulted. He made us feel as if we were the most important people around. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was personal yet impeccable, and the ambiance was just right. If you’re searching for a really great place to enjoy a special meal, the Scuzzi’s is the best choice, hands down.

Service was excellent. I was seated and all my questions were answered right away. The staff was very knowledgeable and quick to address my questions and concerns. Looking forward to having an event here! The room looks spacious and there is an outdoor patio. Isabelle Jasmine was very attentive and considerate, I was working through lunch on the phone and making calls as she was serving and there was no disruption at all! We will definitely return, I like that even a party of two can have a booth that is comfortable.
