My wife and I enjoyed a beautiful lunch at Scopri recently. The food quality was excellent and the home made fettuccine pasta with mushrooms was simply outstanding. My wife had a risotto with venison ragu which she described as divine. My cannolo desert with coffee gelato, hazelnut zabaglione and buffalo ricotta was as good a desert as I have ever... More

First visited with friends recently on a Saturday night. The place was full (always a good sign). Anthony met us on arrival and immediately impressed with the attention he showed to our group. Once seated we didn't have to wait long before our orders were being taken. Our BYO white wine was poured into good glassware (and the red decanted).... More

We are now regulars. Really fine food with emphasis on the produce and care in the cooking. Don't look for foams, de-constructions etc, this is food to enjoy with wine, and friends (although dining alone here works as well). Anthony and Alison pay a lot of attention to every aspect of the restaurant. There is space between tables, linen, good... More

Food was excellent, the wine was great, the atmosphere was great. The place was full but the conversations around us where not over powering. We have been to Scopri several times and we will continue to go back. The veal I had was fantastic. We will continue to go back to Scopri.

After seeing the rating of this restaurant, I thought this would be a great place to go to with a friend for dinner. In short, location was good from a parking perspective, but there isn't much else around within walking distance. The food and service was good, but it was a bit 'stuffy' and conservative for me...... I guess I... More

We ate here for my birthday and had a fantastic evening. The meals ( prawn, clam, mussel pasta and lasagne) were delicious. Clearly the ingredients used were very fresh and the meals were both very tasty and well prepared. We had the cheese platter and a custard Tartlet for dessert. Also very enjoyable. The place was decorated simply but the... More

Decided to try this little restaurant out since it was rated the top restaurant in melbourne but turn out to be dissappinting n definitely not worthy of its number 1 restaurants in melbourne rating! First of all the food was quite average for a supposedly well known Italian cuisine the squid ink risotto we ordered was bland and seem like... More

I went here as a result of it's number one rating on tripadvisor and boy was it misleading. The food was AVERAGE and overpriced with nothing to show. The service terrible as they chose to ignore us. I asked for them to clear the table and they asked why - well obviously it was sitting there attracting flies. The squid... More

This is a lovely, airy restaurant that doesn't overdo anything, but gets it all right. Our table of four were all very happy indeed with our food. The baccala is superb, the octopus salad looks and tastes excellent, and my veal tongue, pickles and pesto was delicious. The sciallatielli was described as delicious too. For our mains two of us...

We decided to try Scopri as it is listed as number 1 on trip advisor. My expectations were of a well run and superior establishment. This is not what we got. A by all means mediocre and average eatery! I don't know what the hype is about, I recommend you miss it of your list.
