A great romantic Italian meal... The warm, amber atmosphere makes Scalini's one of the most intimate restaurants in Marietta. The high backed wood booths (ask for one!) are simple and romantic (look for all the carved names of previous couples), yet they cocoon the diner, preparing them for an almost medieval Italian culniary experience. But how 'bout the food, you say? You'll never go back to Olive Garden after you eat THIS salad. Red Wine vinigarette marries with olive oil and fresh herbs to lavish the lettuce. This is no whimpy side salad -- this is TRUE Italian. Garbanzo beans, sliced beets, cucumbers, mozz cheese, tomatoes, onions. And the waiters don't skimp -- they're ready with seconds when you are. I quite honestly dream of the garlic bread -- it is obvious at Scalini's they (rightfully) disdain mere garlic powder -- this is garlic so fresh it burns! The rolls are puffy, melt-in-your-mouth goodness drenched with butter and fresh chopped garlic. Let them sit for a while, or unapolagetically sop *er -- just don't worry about the calories; trust me, it's worth it. Absolute bliss! You'll never want any other garlic bread. Eggplant parmesan is supposed to be a house specialty. I can't honestly say. What I do know is that the chicken with proscuitto (I can't recall the name) is divine. I always highly recommend the fetti alfredo as a side. It's got a special robust garlic bite that is pure heaven. And, if you have room afterwards, tirimisu is good, if small portioned. Don't worry, it's authentic, like everything here. All I can say is, lots of love went into the creation of Scalini's, and it is obvious to all its loyal fans. If you are looking for a place to bring friends, I promise, it will not disappoint. There is something in the atmosphere itself that makes people loosen and enjoy themselves. Reservations recommended. (edited)
