Scaddabush is Italian slang for “a little bit of everything.” And that describes us best – we’re a little of this, a little of that and a whole new take on Italian. We’re inspired by Italian passion and generosity. We like tables crowded with friends and family. Style without attitude. And of course, excellent cuisine. In true Italian fashion, we rely on fresh ingredients. Our approach to cooking starts with a very simple rule: anytime we can make it ourselves, we do. It’s an Italian thing – and frankly, it’s just more delicious that way. Our hand-stretched mozzarella is made-to-order every day. We also make our own fresh pasta, pizza dough, focaccia bread, sauces and desserts – each and every day.
