Scopo Divino

This place has been on my list for a while, and the perfect opportunity came up to try it with a couple colleagues for SF Restaurant Week. Unfortunately, one of my colleagues was unable to make it on the last day of Restaurant Week, so we decided to go for happy hour the Monday after. I was the first of my party to arrive, and although Resy only allowed me to select an outdoor table for the reservation, the staff were able to accommodate us at a nice table inside away from the live band so that it wouldn't be too loud.

Much to our delight, the Restaurant Week menu was still available the Monday after! We all opted to order the set meal off the special menu, and each of us got the 8 oz ribeye steak as our entree. We also got the half-glass wine pairings to accompany the entree and dessert courses. Everything was delicious! We were very satisfied, and the best part is we were informed the steak is on their regular menu in case we want to order it again sometime!

The staff provided exceptional service throughout the meal and after. They checked on us regularly and ensured our water glasses were never empty. Even after we finished the meal and paid, they didn't rush us as we lingered a while to continue our conversation. This place far exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to coming again for more great wine and food.

went on a cloudy saturday for their all you can eat and drink brunch! we went without a reservation since you would've had to pay when booking, but got seated immediately outside (there was a heat lamp to keep us warm) since the inside was fully reserved. the staff were pretty friendly, especially the owner, but i wish they did check up on us a bit more since there were times we were waiting to order more/ask for the check.

for the all you can eat and drink, you can order anything off the brunch menu in rounds of however many people you have with you (ex. 4 people, 4 items at a time). not sure if you have to finish the items before ordering more because we did. i also really appreciated that the all you can drink menu had cocktails/items other than mimosas! pricing was pretty standard i feel for bottomless in sf, but you get the added variety.

- beignets (3.5/5): came out hot, so these were crisp but fluffy! caramel was a little too sweet/could've used more salt
- french toast bites (3.5/5): the crisp on these was crazy, we actually thought it was roasted potatoes when they first came out. it does get pretty sweet, so make sure to order something savory with them!
- deviled eggs (5/5): so good we ordered them 2 more times! flavors were well balanced from the tang of the pickled shallots
- softshell blt (3.5/5): the bread was toasted so perfectly, but i wish there was more softshell crab since it got hidden in the sandwich. not bland, but could've had more going on with it. texturally it was great tho!
- chicken & waffles (3/5): waffles were a bit softer than we were used to, but tasted good with the whipped cream (like cake). the fried chicken was solid, nothing too crazy. candied bacon was good!
- bbq shrimp and grits (5/5): this was my favorite dish!! the grits were perfectly cooked, and it tasted almost like mac n cheese which i loved. the sauce didn't taste like american bbq sauce if you are expecting that btw
- fried catfish benedict (4/5): once again a hit on the fry of the catfish - super crunchy and crispy, but it was pretty salty. eaten with the egg and slightly sweet kale though made for a well balanced bite
- hangover (4/5): hashbrowns and bacon were sooo crispy and the sunny side up eggs were perfectly cooked

wish i tried more of the other drinks, but it was a lot of food and carbonation haha
- mimosa: OJ or grapefruit juice and comes premixed with the champagne. my friends liked the grapefruit more, but i liked the OJ more. pretty standard
- cherry bellini: could've used more cherry, but my friend really liked it!
- coffee is on the bottomless menu, but lattes are not!!

scopo does great with vibes, variety, and the textures (especially crispy things!!) and balance of their food! overall a great time for eating and drinking, especially if you appreciate variety!

Brunch food, decor, & ambiance were excellent!
Slow service *Owner of the business kindly reached out and shared the unexpected issues they were dealing with BTS.

Came for a double brunch date on a Sunday. We all went for AYCE (all you can eat) Food & Drink for $50 (fyi, table must all agree to get AYCE). Otherwise, you can order off the brunch menu.

Food was unique and delicious! We got almost everything to share!
Beignets - 5/5 - light and fluffy, not too fried
Deviled eggs 5/5
Chicken & Waffle - 5/5
French toast - 4.5/5
Burger - 5/5
Shrimp & Grits - 4/5
Soft shell crab sando - 4/5
Side of 2 eggs - 5/5
Toast - 5/5 - The toast must be from a home made loaf. Very delicious and fluffy!

Drinks
They'll encourage you to get a pitcher, so people can get their drinks quicker. So the only options are mimosa (oj or grapefruit) and elderflower cocktail. This was fine bc we wanted mimosas, but not if you wanted to sample a variety of drinks. Seems like that's what most people would like given their unique menu.

Mimosa was good. Like many have said, there's a good amount of OJ in it. It tastes good and is enjoyable. This is NOT the place to get tipsy off AYCD.

By the way, black coffee was good!

Slow Service
It was frustrating bc you're limited to 90 mins for AYCE. There were only 5 tables total being served. After the first round of drink and food orders, they rarely came to see what else we wanted. I had to flag servers to come and it was still slow. For our second pitcher, it took probably 25 mins after reminding them a second time. By then, we were finishing our meal.

*I later found out that the staff and owner were dealing with some unexpected issues and it was an off day. This happens. Totally understandable. Most reviewers had great service, so I'm more inclined to believe that and will return in the future with other friends. This concept is truly unique and great.

I thank fellow Yelpers for helping me find this gem of a restaurant! My husband and I come to a play in SF every month or so and it was my turn to pick a restaurant. I had Scopo Divino in my SF collection and the timeline worked for a nice walk to and from the restaurant. I was able to secure a 6pm reservation on a. Friday for bar seating. The couch seating was available but since we were a two, I wanted to leave that space open for any four tops that might be looking for a resy.

We were warmly greeted and our table was waiting. We ended up trying three of the four bar bites and opted for water (it was a lot of walking :)

1. Lobster Arancini- perfectly crispy and not oily. Sauce paring was great and I enjoyed every bite. I wish there were four so we didn't have to fight over the third ball.
2) beef and chorizo empanadas: how did they get that crust so fluffy? Excellent from first hire to the last.
3) chorizo stuffed dates: sweet and savory rolled in to one.
4) the seasonal salad with oranges and other yummies. We ordered this after we finished the above three for a nice cap to dinner.

I appreciate the order that the bar bite items came out. They were thoughtful and ended with the sweeter of the items. The salad was a great end to the meal. Overall, it was nice to share all of these morsels and not feel over stuffed. Everything was balanced and delicious. I can't wait to go back to try some of the mains and a glass or two. Looking forward to the next resy!

I don't understand how this place isn't more busy?! They have amazing new orleans bottomless brunch (food & drinks) for only $50 per person. My friend coordinated a girls holiday brunch for ~12 people and they were able to accommodate all of us on a Sunday. You could tell how hard they were trying to keep up with the orders in a timely manner and they even let us stay 2 hours (despite the 1.5 hr time limit) to account for people in the party arriving at staggered times.

My favorites were the beignets, omelette, and chicken and waffles. I also loved the variety in drinks and got to try the mimosa, cherry bellini, kir royale, and elderflower cocktail (my favorite). I will say that the mimosas were heavy on the orange juice pour, so some people were just requesting the champagne only by the end. Overall, this is such a great spot for doing bottomless with a bunch of people, especially if you're looking for one with delicious food!

I was walking around enjoying the nice neighborhood and I came across Scopo Di Vino. I decided to try the chicken and waffles soo yummy, this was so good. Everything was on point. I was just so surprised that I liked it so much, I definitely will be back for more chicken and waffles, and I'm looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. You may want to make a reservation though on the weekends because they do have a lot of parties and people coming in since it's such a good place, I can understand why.

The Khao Soi soup is ridiculously good. The Yellowfin Tuna Crudo is ridiculously good. the Bergen Burger plus egg and bacon is ridiculously good. Scopo Divino hits right every single time! The food, the wine, the music, the service are all on point. Keep up the great work!

Came here on a Sunday around 3:30pm for oyster happy hour (3-6pm daily). Easy to get a spot. One of the only spots in the city I've found to have sunday oyster happy hour!

$1.50 oysters (up to 24) with a purchase of a bottle of wine. So of course we had to get a bottle of wine and 24 oysters. Oysters were a bit small, but good- wish we would have ordered more than 24! Got a white wine which was good too.

We also got some type of mushrooms on focaccia ($17)- which was good, but definitely on the heavier side so glad we shared it.

Overall, happy we came- service was pretty quick. Atmosphere is laid back, we sat inside, but I definitely think if it wasn't so hot (which is rare in sf, so not complaining at all), we would have sat outside, which I think seems like the move for this place!

Ended up at Scopo Divino for dinner because we were looking for dog friendly restaurants. Scopo Divino has outdoor seating with heaters/heat lamps which was perfect!

We ended up getting there in time for happy hour (3pm-6pm, daily!) so we had bubbles & oysters.

I also had the bruschetta - which had a delicious creamy mushroom medley on it rather than tomato. It was also on some good crusty homemade focaccia! Into it.

Came here for the first time during restaurant week!

Food: we had the Ricotta Gnocchi, Grilled NY Strip, and honey cake. The Ricotta Gnocchi came in a bed of chicories and mushrooms. I liked the gnocchi and the mushrooms, but felt like the bitterness of the chicories was overpowering. The NY Strip was cooked well, but the herb crust was a bit soggy, making for a weird mouth feel. There were also full size fried green onions on the plate that I could not cut into for the life of me. The honey cake was ok, but was essentially a slice of pound cake on top of a scoop of icing with some jam on top

Service: great! our server was attentive and everyone there was friendly

Ambiance: cool and moody, such a cool spot to have drinks and chat with friends

Overall, I'd come back here for wine and snacks, but I don't think I'd do a full meal again
