Chicken Parm was sublime. Muscles and baked clam appetizers were great and good bread for dipping. Nice acoustics in the place. Highly recommend.

Hubs and I had heard from my auntie-in-law about her not-so-positive experience years ago- so it wasn't like we were eager to come here for dinner then. But since we wrapped up with errands in the area, Scaramella's was it. Located in a mini strip mall in Dobbs Ferry, Scaramella's is very old-school- but with a splash of class and then some. Once you pass the foyer, their bar area greets you followed by their large dining room. At about 5pm on a Saturday, you can be seated with no issues. Any time after that, folks start piling up. Our server Anne Marie was no bull-shitter; got to the chase when she gave me a hush-hush tip on a Pear Salad I was eyeing. She's my girl alright. Our appetizers, were plentiful and tasty. Forget our main plates- because if you think you'll be getting a polite portion of pasta or any meal at that- think again. I honestly don't know if hub's spinach pasta was homemade- but that sucker was good. My $40 Swordfish+fresh carrots with an unexpected corn+ spinach medley, was tasty and abundant. Actually, I had leftovers. Can I also mention that these folks don't play around with their pours because my Lemon Drop was potent! Listen, I don't care that Scaramella's is located in strip mall or that my auntie-in-law didn't enjoy her meal years ago. From the looks of it, this place is happy-loud and has character. And no, it's not totally easy to park outside. That aside, our meals were satisfying, well-priced and the happy chaos, is all part of Scaramella's local charm.

We celebrated Mother's day here and was not disappointed. The loaf of bread came out nice and warm, but it was 10mins later before our order was taken. The two appetizers we ordered were of generous portions, and both were prepared well. The main entrees were also of generous portions resulting in leftovers for us to take home for lunch the next day. Food was delicious, and service was great. The only disappointment was finding a small sliver of wood in the veal dish that was taken home for lunch the following day. Pretty sure this was an accidental oversight from one of the kitchen staff, but overall it was a very enjoyable meal.
