Herald Sun Stephen Downes, 14-09-10 Score: Food 13/20, Staff 8/10, Drink 2/5, X Factor 4/5, Value 6/10, Score 33/50 "IN a city already brimming with Italian restaurants, Scugnizzo opened a few months ago at the quiet end of the CBD. Serving acceptable trad-Italian tucker, it has a terrific brasserie ambience in an old red-brick building. The wine list, though, is just not good enough - it's very limited and has too few cheaper options. Service is expert and congenial"
