"My friend and I went to Scalinis and had a lovely meal the staff where very helpful and attentive. We sat in the outdoor covered are but were kept nice and warm as they had heaters It had a cosy atmosphere and highly recommend it. I cant wait to go again"
"Ordered via Delivery, 1 Fettuccine al Pollo & 1 Garlic pizza bread, pasta was Delicious, but the Pizza bread was more like a Water cracker , so thin it was like eating a thin chip . 3stars for the Fettuccine."
"Went for a birthday a little while ago. I ordered the chicken fettuccine, it was flavourless and the sauce was watery. Food the rest of our party chose wasn't any better either. Basically terrible! To top it off we were forced to endure an even more terrible band playing overly loud rubbish. They closed the inside dining room so we couldn't escape the noise. This was once a nice restaurant with good food, unfortunately not the case anymore. We will never return!"
"Walked in here expecting the food would be okay since it's next to the beach, must be a touristic place, etc. We ordered a parma ham pizza and a cannelloni. The pizza dough is not homemade, it's bland and undercooked. The parma slices were too thick that it became too salty. The cannelloni was sliced in a chunk and platted as it is, seemed like it was microwaved, topped with mixed salads you get from the grocery, salty and rubbery. The waiter is the only one that deserves 5 stars. He was honest, fun, and hospitable even though they're working on a New Year's Day. Given that we only purchased two dishes, I can't really rate much. Maybe they have other dishes that are worth it, hopefully."
"I've been here a couple of times with my partner and both times I've been thoroughly impressed. For starters, the atmosphere is quite nice. We have sat both in the outside area and inside. The owners have made two nice areas for enjoying your meal. The staff are extremely friendly and accomodating and the food arrives at the table quicker than most restaurants. The prices are slightly cheaper than other similar restaurants. The one thing I was really impressed with though, is the policy that gluten free pizza is available for no extra charge. I don't have an intolerance, but this just struck me as a very kind thing for the restaurant to do for people who usually have to spend a lot more on food. So if you're gluten intolerant, this is a great place for you to go!"
