Scampi Osteria 4823 Alderson Road, Blaine, WA 98230

"Small, cozy place (make a reservation) with limited but rather pricy menu. For 5 people it was around $300 (including tip) with no alcohol. The meal was good, but not something I'm craving to go back to for more. (But I'm not particularly fond of seafood). The salad was really, really good - honey mustard dressing with apples and goat cheese - but the asparagus was a little disappointing. Overall, everyone enjoyed the meal, though."

"I was very impressed that the owners are actually waiting tables and cooking, that is the way it should be done. Only one issue, we asked for separate checks, waitress didn't hear that, so trying to pay and leave was slow. I had the black ink pasta with scallops and prawns, absolutely delicious!"

"Really amazing food and personal care and attention by the staff. This place is a little gem. My wife and I visited for the first time but this certainly won't be the last. Their wine selection is limited and frankly overpriced, but in consideration of how difficult it is to keep an establishment like Scampi Osteria operating, I'm happy to pay that premium if that means helping keep the doors open."

"I rarely do restaurant reviews. This place is exceptional. We had take out with the cioppino, lasagna, chicken parmigiana and Cesar salad. All dishes were some of the best I’ve ever had. And I’ve travelled all over Italy. Very impressive. We live in Seattle and I cannot wait to get back to Blaine just to eat here. The inside looks wonderful and I would love to actually dine inside someday too."
