Scaddabush, Italian restaurant in Scarborough, Canada
Scaddabush is an Italian restaurant on Progress Avenue in Scarborough, Ontario, focused on handmade pasta, fresh mozzarella, and wood-fired pizza. The dining room features an open kitchen visible from most tables, and the menu leans toward Southern Italian cooking with a modern approach.
The chain was founded in Ontario with the goal of bringing Southern Italian recipes into a casual dining setting. Over time it grew to several locations across the province, with this Scarborough branch opening as part of that expansion.
Scaddabush takes its name from a Southern Italian dialect word for a type of wild plant, which gives the brand a rooted, informal character. Inside, the open kitchen layout lets guests watch cooks working with dough and cheese, making the preparation part of the visit itself.
The restaurant is open daily, though closing times vary by day, so checking hours in advance is a good idea. Reservations are recommended on weekends and busy evenings to avoid a long wait.
The mozzarella served here is made fresh each day in the restaurant kitchen, which is relatively rare for a chain setting. Guests seated near the open kitchen can watch the stretching and shaping process from their table.
