“ Came here for dinner on our way home from Chicago. I somehow totally skimmed over that this place is a takeout restaurant. However, the cashier was really nice and let us dine in anyways. She even gave us extra bread and cardboard as makeshift trays. I got the chicken Marsala. Wow, I can see just from trying the Marsala how this place has a 4.8 overall on Google Maps! Wonderfully textured and seasoned chicken with a heck of a Marsala sauce! ”
“ We had take out tonight for Scartozzi’s for the first time and to say that we were satisfied is an understatement. I was very impressed with the quality, taste, and portions of our food. We tried the chicken alfredo, one with fetuccini and one with bowtie pasta and both were beyond delicious; the cripsy chicken cutlet on top was perfectly cooked and so crispy and juicy and the bread that comes with the pasta is a DREAM. The caesar salad was phenomenal- the dressing and croutons are to die for. Last, we got the cheese bread which as simple as it is, was very delicious. Aside from the food, the atmosphere was so welcoming and cozy from the moment you pull into the parking lot; since it is December the decorations were so festive and beautiful, and everyone was so pleasant and nice. We have already discussed that this place will become a new weekly tradition—please keep being so amazing! Support local small businesses ”
“ The meatballs and Italian beef are amazing. Joe's special, the chicken parm dinner, and a few meatballs on the side are our go-to favorites! I finally had a chance to get there early enough for the lunch menu and now I know why the Italian beef sammies are a hot commodity there. Yum! Oh yeah, and the owners/employees are super nice and hard working. ”
“ The best Italian ever! The red clam is so good... very special. We could go on and on about the tomato basil soup and everything, but to summarize: tops in all categories, you gotta try it! Michigan City, what a gem you have here! ”
“ Scartozzi never disappoints. Food is always hot and ready when we get there. Thank you Rachel and Joe for a great meal, everything was wonderful and made our Mother's Day even better! ”
“ Delightful takeout only Italian. Friendly service. Eggplant Parmesan - 4/5. Heaps of cheese, tangy tomato sauce, basic and effective breaded eggplant. Came with a side penne and tomato sauce and nice side bread my toddler stole. Tiramisu - 4/5. Good coffee. Nice layering. Parts were frozen so you may need to wait to let to thaw. ”
“ My sister told me about Scartozzi's about a year ago. Now I am kicking myself that I didn't try them sooner! You simply must try their food! So delicious!! Their prices are reasonable and their people are awesome! Try them!! ”
“ In my travel, I always tried to find family-owned restaurants. I am thrilled to see that this restaurant is a family owned business And everyone is truly from Italy. Everyone was super nice. The food was definitely amazing. I got the lasagna, and it came with two pieces of homemade bread. The spices and flavors in the Lasagna, just really elevated this dish. This is a catering or to go only restaurant, but definitely worth the wait. I would highly recommend. ”
