Sckavone's Restaurant

I like this place. I think the shrimp pasta could use some work, but everything else I've had has been very good . The drinks are nice and strong, and they have a pretty good beer selection. Kudos for not putting in a TV and for letting the wait staff dress their own way. Sometimes just having things be authentic and good raises one's satisfaction above that of the trendy and expected. I just had my birthday there with twenty friends. Thanks.…

Cozy Spot. We have enjoyed meeting family and friends at Sckavones. The inviting room, friendly staff & comfort food make it a cozy spot for us. Our favorites are the hummus plate, meatloaf and salads.…

Owner feedback on bad situation. The incident described below occurred because the group involved showed up with 45 - 50 people at dinner time instead of the 20 they referenced when the called. We had explained on the phone that we could only handle a group that size. The situation was awkward and stressful for their group, our customers who were already in the restaurant, our staff and confusing for other people who were coming in for dinner.

Handling a group that big is cumbersome and time consuming and it would have forced us to ignore our already seated customers for a half hour or more. I made the decision that protected their experience.

We have been supportive to schools, youth athletics and neighborhood groups including accommodating numberous meetings and gathering at our place. I think anyone who has been on either side of a group event understands the importance of the crisp communications and information needed for everything to work well.…

Terrible Management. Do not give your money to this establishment. We made a reservation and children and families were refused at the door. To make it worse the manager was very rude and did not try to apologize or be accommodating.

All we wanted was ice cream for 13 children and when I called to ask what happened the management was irrational and rude. I am a very calm and patient person who works with young children, but actually hung up on this man because of his behavior. Not worth your time. DO NOT give him your money. We will never even consider going there again. They messed up the reservation and no responsibility was taken what so ever. This is not a community establishment and clearly has horrible customer service.

We did however go to Swirl on Hawthorne instead and they were delightful and appreciated the business.…
