"I am Italian and my husband is Irish, but we live in the UK. A couple years ago, while I was researching for a location for my wedding I came across Casa Scaparone” website”. The pictures will make you fall in love, but don 't get fooled by them. Before booking, I wanted to know more about the food etc so I started to investigate a little bit more and I started reading the reviews. I was quite shocked about all the bad reviews (There are a lot! . I was so in love with the location, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and I chose this location for my wedding. A week after my wedding, I can tell you that the location was picturesque BUT all the bad reviews regarding the food and service are real and unfortunately despite being a fab location, my guests didn 't have the best Italian food experience or service that I was hoping for them to have. Also, focussing on the good reviews I noticed that the following 5-star posts include duplicate photos. The pictures of the food and person sitting at the table are all identical. With truffle a plus 14th November 2021 Noteworthy 1st April 2022 Enchanting 30th October 2022 This sums up the experience at Casa Scaparone, everything looks wonderful, but underneath the façade is a poor approach to customer care where the management are happy to take your cash but are unapologetic about the quality and service. The buffet was ridiculously small, I can 't even call it buffet really, maybe a snack. The dinner was disappointing, the meat was not tender, and with two slices of boiled potato with a sprig of broccoli on the side which was quite sad. The most disappointing though was the cake. I ordered a millefoglie ai frutti di bosco . We didn 't get any cake but instead, we got a simple dessert which didn’t lend itself to a ceremonious cutting of the cake. Given we paid a significant amount for the food, we expected better. Overall, a big disappointment. We couldn’t recommend the venue for any party that includes catering and won’t be coming back."
