Scalzotto Italian Restaurant

Scalzotto Italian Restaurant is an Italian restaurant on Melody Drive in Westminster, with cooking rooted in the traditions of Northern Italy. Its founder, Giancarlo Scalzotto, says the recipes come from his mother, Emilia Megiolaro, and the kitchen aims to pair those dishes with fresh, evolving ideas.

The menu covers antipasti such as caprese, calamari and arancini, plus soups, salads and garlic bread. Pasta is the centerpiece, with a build-your-own option and classics like lasagna, carbonara and mushroom ravioli. Pizza and chicken, eggplant and salmon entrees round it out, and gluten-free pasta and pizza are available for an extra charge. Breakfast and brunch are served, and the restaurant offers takeout, delivery, online ordering, catering, private events and reservations.
