   Seated as soon as we arrived. Servers were friendly, helpful, and efficient. Food is consistently good. Portions are on the large side, so we always have enough for next day’s lunch.

   My family very much enjoyed dinner. My meal was okay (noodles seemed almost slightly underdone). I was disappointed there wasn’t any non-alcoholic beverage options such as mock tails or alcohol free wines/beers. At a nicer restaurant I would have loved to enjoy something besides water since I can’t drink.

   I hadn’t been in a few years. The food was excellent but much smaller portions than they used to have. Just a sign of the times. Otherwise very good. Can’t wait to go back

   Walked in, we were seated in an extremely cramped and sweaty area. Our seats had some kind of garlic powder on them , red flag right away. Thankfully they moved us to a better spot in the restaurant where we could actually breathe. Noise level was still very high, everyone cramped. The decorations and interior itself was not that bad, but the chairs and tables were clearly outdated. Menu didn’t look that bad, but honestly the food was very mediocre . Clearly very rushed, felt like I was eating at an industrial conveyor belt or something. Salad was awful and sloppy and had too much pepper, Veal Marsala was soggy and The portion was small. The sauce wasn’t bad though, the flavor was nice. Pasta on the side was tiny and plopped onto the plate as if it was a middle school cafeteria or something. Food was not good in the slightest. The only 3 highlights , and things that I enjoyed: 1. Our server (Zach I believe) was very attentive and kind. 2. They poured generous amounts of wine. 3. The dessert was fantastic and complementary. That’s about it.

   Food was delicious but our server was not very friendly. Our party was there for a special event which the server didn't acknowledge. When our food was delivered all but one plate was brought out and it took 5-10 minuets for the other plate to arrive. In addition, our group size was considered a large party, so gratuity was already included. Seemed as if the server just coasted through the service knowing she was already going to be tipped - didn't go out of her way to provide great service. The room we sat in was also very hot with no airflow. As this was my first time here, I would still recommend this restaurant but not for large groups.

    Waiter service was not great on the patio. Salads were supposed to come with dinner. One came with dinner and two came as appetizers. Lobster ravioli was ordered as a dinner with the salad and was the first item to our table. Obviously we told the waiter to take it back. We ate Inside a few days ago and and gave you a 5 star rating all around. Very disappointing this time!!

    The food here is absolutely awesome. Any entree is superb! Large salads, awesome focaccia bread, you have to try the garlic bread Souza, just like a pizza! The bread pudding and tiramisu was shared by 5 of us and was so, so good! Bring your appetite! We will definitely be back!

    Excellent service. Decent wine list--though red wine was served too warm. Pork osso buco was a bit on the salty side and pasta had too much oregano, but all in all pretty decent.

    After making a reservation online, I needed to update it by phone, as our party was expanded at the last minute. We had to show up 15 mins. earlier, but it all worked out. The person answering the phone made a point that separate checks were not allowed and when I asked about subtotaling the bill, she didn’t understand. However, our waiter was very sharp and when I asked about subtotaling, he simply offered us separate checks! He knew how to earn a good tip, which he did. The only issue was that my wife was served chicken, instead of the veal she’d ordered, but it was quickly rectified. Everyone was happy with their meal! My wife and I split a blue cheese salad, and it was actually served that way, not to mention it was plenty for each of us. Each serving was the size of a dinner salad, so I’m glad we split one. We’d been to Scuza’s before and will continue to go there on our annual trip to the lake! Superb all around!

    We sat in the side room at table 82. We were originally set to eat on the patio, but it began to rain. They were very accommodating in moving us inside to a booth. The curtain was dirty on the inside and there were ants on both the seat and wall. Again, they moved us. The restaurant just needs to take care of the ant situation.

    Our experience was fabulous! The food was EXCELLENT! But our waiter…ZACH was the BEST! He helped us choose what to order, he was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu…including the Wine list!! Another memorable dinner at Scusa’s in the books! We will be back….one of our absolute favorites! PS….we are NOT related to Zach…nor did we know him before coming to dinner last night at Scusa’s!

    Great food and service as usual! We eat here at least 3 times a year on vacation. Been eating here for many, many, years and have never had a bad meal or service. This is my wife’s favorite birthday celebration restaurant. I recommend eating out back during the summer months between 6:45 and 8 p.m. The ambience outside is awesome. If you like a cocktail before dinner, make sure you have one before elsewhere before you go. They are a beer/wine service only. 100% recommend Scusa. 5 stars!!!!!

    We haven't been to Scuza's since they moved from Ski Run Blvd. My bad. We enjoyed our "reintroduction" - I will definitely ask for a booth or outside table next time. Our waiter was very professional and friendly. The food was good and ample servings. We will try to return before we leave Lake Tahoe in September.

    The food was absolutely incredible. Lobster ravioli was an appetizer special I believe but oh my gosh wish I could’ve ordered that as my entree! So delicious. Lasagna was melt-in-your-mouth good. My husband ordered the seafood linguine instead of Alfredo we took the servers suggestion and got the scusa sauce. It was perfect. Only thing that would make this place better is a full bar😉 incredible experience. Thank you!
