Scalini's Italian Restaurant

Nice atmosphere. Delicious garlic knots that are swimming in fresh garlic and butter. Good portion size on the salad. The Alfredo sauce is bland and needs less flour and more cheese. The meat sauce needs more garlic and salt. My friend and I ended up pouring the garlic butter from the garlic knots onto our food to give it more flavor. The service was professional and attentive.

I have been wanting good Italian food and my appetite was satisfied. I liked the food, atmosphere, and service. They have the best turimisu I have had in my life! I almost overdosed on the garlic knots. I had the horn stuffed with lobster, shrimp, and scallops. My daughter had the chicken and broccoli Alfredo. We will be back!

Scalini's, along with its sister restaurant, Provino's, continues to impress me, my daughter, my ex, and my best friend. They do Chicken Parmesan (my favorite dish) better than almost anyone else. Their lasagna is divine and cheesy. Every dish there doesn't taste like every other dish. They actually have some differences in seasoning. And things are seasoned well. Anyone who's seen their garlic rolls knows they don't hold back on garlic, and that's true of most seasonings there. If I could change one thing it would be to not have the garlic rolls sitting in a small vat of butter. The top rolls are always great, but the ones that sit partially submerged in butter end up cold and soggy. Still, the top ones are so good and so garlicky I can't be too mad at them for it. They have an unusual salad (includes beets and garbanzo beans), and it's served "family style". It's flavorful, though. It comes in a wonderful Italian or vinaigrette dressing with a good assortment of veggies, plenty of cheese, some fungi, and I believe Greek olives (plenty of olives, unlike some of the more well-known national Italian food chains). I've been going to Scalini's and their sister restaurant for years ever since finding them after moving to Marietta 12 years ago. Once in a while I'll try a different Italian restaurant depending on where I am, but most of the time I end up regretting not just eating here instead. So good!

It's good Italian food. I always know what to expect. Good food and good service. Also bring your dates here. Only reason it gets 4 starts is on my latest visit the sauce was a little watery, but that had never been an issue before. Hopefully it was an isolated case because this place has good tasting food.

Loved it !! Loved it!! I like Italian food, but this place, service and food made me fall in love with the place. The decor is very romantic and beautiful. Service is very nice and friendly. People smile. The dishes are done so well. Pasta is amazingly delicious. Must must try the vegetarian lasagna.
