See Why Our Menu Named Us The Best Italian Restaurant in MA
Regarding Italian cuisine, the true essence lies in the details—handcrafted dishes made with love, ingredients sourced with care, and flavors that tell a story. At our restaurant, we believe that each dish should be an experience, and our menu is a testament to this philosophy. Named the best Italian restaurant in Massachusetts, our offerings span traditional favorites to innovative creations that keep guests returning for more. Here's a closer look at what makes our menu so exceptional.
Scampo’s Handmade Breads and Pizzas
Our menu offers handmade breads and pizzas, each crafted with attention to detail. The Scampo garlic bread, cooked over coals, is a must-try. This bread perfectly combines crispness and rich, garlicky goodness. If you’re looking for something unique, Patrick’s naan with prosciutto offers a fusion of surprising and delightful flavors.
Our pizza selection is equally impressive, with options catering to traditionalists and adventurous eaters. The classic tomato, fior di latte, and basil pizza is a nod to the simplicity of Italian cuisine, where quality ingredients shine. For those who crave something more indulgent, the lobster pizza is a luxurious treat with succulent lobster and the perfect blend of cheese and herbs. And then there’s the stracciatella pizza, adorned with capicola, zucchini blossom, roasted Jimmy Nardello peppers, and a drizzle of hot honey. This masterpiece balances savory, sweet, and spicy notes in every bite.
Friday and Saturday Summer Specials at Scampo
Every Friday and Saturday, we present specials highlighting the chef’s creativity and our commitment to using the freshest local ingredients. On Friday nights, indulge in the spiedini of local Georges bank swordfish. Cooked to perfection and served with a chef's whim, this dish celebrates the sea’s bounty. Bring a hearty brisket special on Saturdays, served with horseradish crema, mini cornbread puddings, peaches, and peanuts. It’s a dish that captures the essence of comfort food with a gourmet twist.
Indulge in Appetizers at Scampo
Our starters set the stage for the main event. The deluxe shrimp cocktail features shrimp ceviche and a demitasse of chilled avocado lime soup—a refreshing and sophisticated way to begin your meal. The calamari fritto with shishito peppers and spicy lemon aioli offers a crispy, tangy delight that pairs perfectly with a glass of white wine. For something unique, try the #1 tuna tartar, served with seaweed salad, ripe avocado, and a spicy pepita seed brittle. This dish is a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, from the buttery tuna to the crunchy brittle.
