Scafa's Italian - Spotsylvania

The staff here are friendly, and the food is excellent. The noodles are freshly made every day. This local business has been around for quite some time. Currently, they don't open until 4 PM due to staff shortages, which is why there's a "Help Wanted" sign on the front door.

I've been visiting this charming little hole-in-the-wall since 2004, and it’s just as fantastic now as it was back then!

Delicious pizza and fantastic service! This local spot is truly a hidden gem. The owner and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Date of visit: May 26, 2021 After hearing such glowing reports of Scafa's and also trying to find THE best Philly cheesesteak (yes, we are both born and raised Philly! , we decided to give Scafa's a try. Ok...so I've not heard anyone speak about the decor! Let's say that Robert Irvine would have a field day in here. PLEASE update the interior and get rid of the grapevines on the ceiling and the vinyl tablecloths and wallpaper and .... Is this place even Covid safe? It seemed clean but...the decor...Ok, I digress. Our server was wonderful (wish I could remember her name . She was so attentive and friendly. The food...we ordered an Italian hoagie and Philly cheesesteak. We upgraded in cost to the fries and onion rings instead of chips. We received 4 of the skinniest onion rings I've ever seen. They were mainly breading. The fries were shoestring fries that were not seasoned at all and not hot either. The hoagie was ok. The flavor and the cut of the lunchmeat was good. But it definitely needed the oil and vinegar and seasonings that go on a hoagie. The onions were bland. Usually onions on a hoagie are well seasoned with Italian seasoning and oil. The cheesesteak had a really good flavor with ample amount of cheese. But there was so much lettuce and tomato that there was not much steak at all. The table next to us had a pizza which did look really good. IF we come back, we will try the pizza and maybe order the steak without lettuce and tomato and see if we get more steak in the sandwich. Over all...just ehh.

This is the second or third time eating here, and the Manicotti Fiorentina was on point- fresh mushrooms in a crème sause! Couldn 't stop eating, except to offer my partner a bite I ordered the kids Grilled cheese w/FF also and Wow, yum! I don 't know what kind of Cheese they use but it goes amazing with the garlic toast like bread perfectly Last time we had the pizza, Romano Ranch, we added chicken‍ and it was amazing brick oven pizza Definitely plan to go back again and again and again...
