This restaurant has a really nice ambience although some tables are way too close to other diners. We managed to be seated immediately and had good waitstaff who were just the right amount of attentive.

The menu didnt have any real drawcard to us but my partner ordered the Maestro pizza and fries and I got the Risotto Verde.
The meals arrvied within 20 minutes although the pizza came out about 5 minutes after the risotto and fries.
The Maestro Pizza was yummy but there was hardly any meat on it at all. The Risotto was delicious.
We took a look at the dessert menu but decided not to bother.

The bathroomswere funky but looked as if they had not been attended in at least a day.

All in all, the interior outshines the food.

The ambience and service are great.

I had the Maestro pizza which was okay. It cannot be faulted, but I’ve had better. Portions are generous. I’ll probably try the pasta next time if I ever drop by Scopa again. The tiramisu was good, the coffee flavour was very strong which is to my liking.

Absolutely love their pizzas! Best in town I reckon! (and so do all my friends by the way…)
One thing though… The place is packed and small so if you’re looking for intimacy, you might want to go somewhere else. At pick time, don’t even dream about getting a table and if you do, well consider yourself lucky…

Scopa sits at the corner of Ghuznee & Cuba Streets.

The extremely tasty rocket salad hit the spot for me perfectly. A very generous bowl of fresh rocket leaves, a lovely balsamic vinegar, and some kind of delicious flavoursome Italian cheese (‘grana’?)…grated into tiny snowflakes throughout the salad. (Yes it was snowing outside when I was eating it).

The state-of-the-art ladies loos are groovy.

A perfect spot to people watch on a cold snowy(!) winter’s day.

I worked in the restaurant business for over 12years, and have found it very hard to find a good quality restaurant.. When we first arrived we had o wait 15mins for a table, while at the bar I asked for the wine menu, they have a range of Italian wine which I am not familiar with but the bartender offered us a small glass to try it was their house red and was so yummy. We waited less than 10mins and were seated, our waitress was great and very attentive but not at all over attentive. She topped our water up often and was very helpful.
The food was great, but yes I did think it was sightly over priced but in the end the night was fabulous. I feel that restaurants in Wellington are slacking in the department of good service and food but Scopa seems to have mastered it. I’m not sure what the hype is with the hot chocolate wasn’t a fan, but my friend loved it.
I will be back again and highly recommend it….
