The food at Scottadito’s Tuscan style Italian cuisine brought to us by owners Paolo Nozzoli and Michele Di Bari is supposed to be too good to wait for it to cool, as implied by the
restaurant’s name meaning “finger blistering” in Italian. This gem of Brooklyn’s popular Park Slope neighborhood is known for Organic ingredients, homemade pastas and a romantic and comfortable atmosphere all delivered with care by the knowledgeable and friendly wait staff. The menu is not cluttered but has an interesting range of pasta selections, a few of which are homemade. The entrées (ranging from $12-$22) boast several chicken dishes as well as salmon, rack of lamb and pork tenderloin.Service was appropriate and as we strategically went on an slow night, we practically had the place to ourselves. The wine selection was good with quaffable house selections available by the glass. I had the pork tenderloin which was stuffed with prosciutto, fontina cheese, and spinach with apple reduction and served with mashed potatoes and eggplant caponata. The combination was perfect. Each slice of tenderloin was a treat and paired nicely with the smooth potatoes and tasty eggplant. It’s interesting that this review came up after my recent Pesto posting. Or maybe my pasta order was influenced by the Pesto posting I’d recently written. In any case, the Pesto I had was the only disappointment of the evening. And it was pretty disappointing. I could only tolerate a couple bites and had to return the entire plate. Lucky for me my entrée was so filling. We didn’t even have room to sample the desserts. Based on the overall experience my entrée and the dishes my wife ordered, we are certainly planning to re-visit this handy neighborhood restaurant.
