For everyone except your friend who knows what a ‘lefty specialist’ is, going to a baseball game isn’t really about watching baseball. You’ll watch a few at-bats, occasionally glance at the scoreboard to see what inning it is, and cheer after someone hits a home run. But ultimately, the game is background noise for a fun day outside that’s filled with beer, hot dogs, and maybe a mid-game snooze. In many ways, Scopa in Venice is like a day at the ballpark. The Italian food is solid, the room is nice, and the drinks are good, but eating at Scopa is really about having a fun night out.
Scopa is one of those restaurants that was packed the day it opened in 2013, and hasn’t slowed down since. When you walk into the crowded room, you’ll probably question your job as a lawyer/accountant/on-set animal wrangler – clearly you could have made all the money in the world by opening a restaurant in Venice. This is a big, loud, industrial room that’s more like something you’d find in the Arts District than any of the little romantic Italian spots nearby. With a rowdy bar area, packed booths, and even a secret speakeasy in the back, you could happily spend the same amount of time here as you would at Dodger Stadium.
