Scopo Divino

such a cute vibe here!! staff is super friendly, we really enjoyed sitting at the bar and getting to chat with them a bit.food was great too! i had the fried catfish benedict - it was a delicious and comforting combination of flavors. my eggs weren't runny, but i honestly didn't mind too much in this dish. usually for an eggs benedict i do want a runny yolk , but this is closer to a warm salad than a traditional benedict so it was acceptable. beignets were so puffy and delicious and the caramel sauce was phenomenal! i'll definitely be back for their bottomless brunch deal ($55) since it includes a range of drinks from NA to mimosas to bloody mary's! also want to try the chicken & waffles and burger at some point!

I'll lead with the strengths.-Wonderful ambience, furniture, and music.-Delicious food (when you can get it)Now the weaknesses...I came with the party of four for the bottomless brunch. It's pricey (for me, but that's subjective) after mandatory 30% tip and tax, but we believed it would be worth it. We opted for the 90-minute bottomless brunch. We arrived 8 minutes after our reservation time, but thankfully that wasn't an issue as they have a 15-minute grace period. We were seated right away, but we didn't get our first drink order until 20 minutes after we seated, and our first food order came later. Between food and drink orders, large amounts of time passed. After approximately an hour had passed, we had still only been served 1 drink and a few sides. I think the idea is for customers to forget the time and just enjoy eating and drinking, but with the way things were going it felt more like we had to be vigilant to get our orders, which made it difficult for me to relax.It's a nice place I can tell, but the experience ultimately wound up being a bit frustrating. I'm not convinced we were able to get the value promised out of this particular deal and I don't think I could recommend it to anybody else - but please note that this is my first and only time experiencing it.As I type this, a waiter came to confirm drink orders, and it was as though mine had never been placed even though I've been waiting for it for almost 20 minutes. Bummer.Edit: This review has been a bit of a rollercoaster, as we had a couple of moments I was not thrilled about (one in particular being when a member of our party casually and politely questioned staff about the delays and was met with a defensive response rather than an explanation or an assurance that they would be flexible with the time limit), but in the end the service did improve. There were some additional minor issues here and there but I can't deny the deliciousness of the food nor the wonderful atmosphere. I feel my review of 3 stars is still fair, as this is my one and only experience at this establishment and all I have as a reference point. You may have a better experience!

SUNDAY BRUNCH REVIEW *For a sunny Sunday, we took advantage of the outdoor seating to take in the rays and comment on the people passing by. Our server and the owner were so lovely. They helped us through this brilliant $55/ person bottomless food & drink brunch. Southern flair I would say everything we got but the grits (sorry I don't think anywhere in CA has good grits) was well seasoned and great portions. We got a little bit of everything and also switched up our cocktails with each round.They are strict about chugging (it's even on the menu) and the 90 minute service, but it worked for our schedule and it wasn't super busy yet so it was a good experience. Definitely coming back!

What a hidden gem this place is! We've been here 3x cause we love it (granted we drive all the way from San Mateo) and there is consistency with everything here. We're always greeted warmly. Doesn't matter what wine we ordered, it was always great! The food was always fantastic including the raw oysters tasted so fresh! And the service, I must say it's managed veryyy well by Christian. One time i had a problem with my salad. He was so professional the way he handled it in a fair manner where he made sure both me and the staff as well were happy. Can't forget that experience that hubby and I came back bringing new fam and new friends here too!Ooohh, and the diff bands that play here were excellent and a huge bonus. We wondered how people would rather sit and eat outside and miss out the very nice live music being performed :) Definitely this place became our go-to and will for sure be bringing more fam and friends. More power to you Scopo D!!

A wine bar/café that also serves some beer that has sort of an old-timey European café vibe to it. I came here during happy hour and sat at the bar. I thought their happy hour specials were good and the service from the bartender was great. Great oyster specials too! I came here when my parents and I were in the area cause I just wanted to grab a beer and have a seat for a little bit. I looked over their menu and ordered some oysters along with one of the local craft beers. Really enjoyed my limited time here.I even found out that they were really known for their brunch here on the weekends. I would totally love to come back and experience that. The food from the other pictures look amazing at this place, but we just limited our visit to a few oysters and a beer (we had a big meal not too long prior to this visit).

I would need to return because I assume their bottomless brunch deal is the best experience for scopo divino. The food was decent, I did not get much of a southern feel from my shrimp n grits, but they were tasty. Service was mediocre but the owner was very nice. We sat outside which was much more spacious than indoors.

Went to a quiet brunch with my friends and they had so many options and everything we ordered was delicious. The hashbrowns are literally like no other. The service was quick and very nice. The GM came by to check on our table. It's a small, quiet restaurant for brunch. But would definitely love to be back for wine dinner or one of their other fun events

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.

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!

The food was really good, but the service was so so. Our waiter seemed very checked out and barely checked on our table. For a 90 minute bottomless brunch the waiter came up to us twice. We were sat next to the kitchen door and were just waving at chefs to bring us things which we felt so bad for doing but no waiter was coming out. Really the only redeeming aspect was that the food tasted great
