Scaddabush - Mississauga

To be young again....not that being over fifty is old however gone are the days of being able to relax in a louder than normal music environment etc.  Yes, it's the etc that I continue to discover on this foodie journey we call life.

Ok enough about the aging process....second visit to Scaddabush in Mississauga.  I must say that the service has been super terrific, the music louder than I would like however manageable at my tender age and the food surprisingly consistent and well, surprising.  Surprising you say?  Their presentation has a bit of theatre to it - eclectic plates, their appetizers are called "sociables" and they are indeed a conversation starter (or continuer).  Large meatballs covered in "made in house" mozzarella and tomato gravy/their "sunday sauce" served on wooden boards - tuscan goat cheese dip served encased in an exploding flatbread...neat stuff.  Not the usual which is, let's face it - fun.

Handmade pizza combinations are unique and well presented....pastas are made in house and are ok, a tad overcooked.  They offer a large and small pasta portion which is considerate - the large could feed 3 I believe. Sauces not over salted - nice for all ages.

Back to the service -- solid.  Friendly, knowledgable, good with their timing and they know who ordered what....nothing more frustrating that having to air-traffic control incoming plates.  Scaddabush executes well.  We will be back.  Hopefully my sensitivity to louder music will work itself out.....the journey continues.
