One of my locale favorites! In this visit we had a Burrata special with pears, pomegranate and pistachios. I had the Fusili (same as the Trofie I had in summer 2022 when they opened - pasta with pesto, burst tomatoes, artichoke hearts); despite the tomato's not being very "burst," the dish was saucier than I remember - and it was delicious! My husband enjoyed the Stuffed Rigatoni and Shrimp but wished the shrimp were deveined. We split the Chocolate Bundino for dessert which was the perfect finish to the meal!

All three courses were excellent, apps, Main and desert, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's BYOB which makes it cost effective as drinks can be rather expensive, a must try.

We are here for my birthday in October. The food was excellent as well as the ambience and service. We brought our bottle of wine as it was byob which I appreciate as it makes the bill much cheaper. We're glad to see Bradley Beach growing with good food and beer in the area. We'll be back again!

After a day at the beach, we were all craving an early dinner and took to Yelp to find a spot that looked good. Skratch Kitchen was super close by and the menu looked right up everyone's alley. It was an easy choice! When they say outside seating, don't think sidewalk. We were led around back to a little shaded oasis that was so comfortable, cozy and honestly could not have been more perfect. If it's a nice day out, I would ask to sit out there. The menu had a little bit of everything: pasta, salads, seafood, chicken. It was definitely on the pricey side with most entrees $30+, but portions were big and everything was delicious. Three of us got the grilled artichoke to start. Delicious and really not like any grilled artichoke I've had before. They were wrapped in prosciutto with a sweet goat cheese. Almost looked like three perfect lamb chops. I got the linguine clams and the chicken savoy and split both. I honestly don't know what I loved more. The linguine clams were so delicious and loved the bits of cauliflower and guanciale. Every little bit was devoured. The chicken savoy was so tasty as well. It was soft chicken thighs covered in sweet and hot peppers. They defintiley gave the dish a kick, so if you are not a fan of heat, just ask for it without the hot peppers. Just a note that you will need to like vinegar (luckily I love it). So if you are looking for a good meal and are okay with it being on the pricier side, I would recommend.

What an amazing dinner we had in Bradley Beach. Our server Allison was a hoot. BYOB is nice. Allison brought ice and bucket for wine. Dinner was paced casually, not rushed. Food was all excellent!

So glad I tried this restaurant! We made a reservation for two they said they only had seating outside. When we arrived, we thought we'd be sitting outside on the sidewalk. The hostess walked us around the building to this little hidden oasis. It was so intimate, and such a beautiful night. The waitress Allison was very attentive and I went with one of her suggestions. The Tuscan cod with baby clams so many delicious flavors with the fennel and the beans. Hubby ordered the octopus with calamari. it had capers and olives in a tomato broth. We ordered more bread to suck up more of the delicious juice in our meals. For dessert I had Affogato with cinnamon ice cream! The chef came around to see how everyone enjoyed their meals. Needless to say I will be coming back!
