Excellent Italian-style focaccia sandwiches and coffee with cozy vibes; value is decent and service can vary from warm to curt depending on staff and rush.
A compact Italian-style cafe where the scent of warm bread and espresso hits first, Scusi feels cozy and casual rather than fussy. Guests talk about friendly counter help, quick fixes when orders go sideways, and focaccia that can be a meal. One diner summed it up: "The toasted sandwich was packed with flavor and left me happy." Expect limited seating and the occasional rush where waits stretch. The cooking leans classic Italian combinations over culinary theater: mortadella with truffle mayo, salami with gorgonzola and fig, Caprese, lasagne, and a pistachio tiramisu many rave about. Think elevated comfort rather than fusion—when the bread is fresh and fillings balanced, it sings; off-days bring complaints of dry or overly saucy bites. Portion sizes are generous for the price, making it an easy choice for a relaxed lunch with good coffee. Families should find it approachable: simple pastas like gnocchi and lasagne, Caprese, and straightforward focaccia pairings are easy wins. There is no dedicated kids menu, and seating is tight, so arrive early to snag a table. For picky eaters, stick to milder fillings like mozzarella-prosciutto or Caprese and skip the spicier nduja or bold gorgonzola combos.
