SOUTH PHILLY.
Residents on the south side of town have a several excellent choices when it comes to authentic Italian dining, and this one, on the corner of Broad and Porter, has certainly made quite a name for itself over the years. Family owned and operated, Scannicchio's made its debut in August of 2003, and in the time since has firmly established itself as a place where families and friends can enjoy dishes ranging from stuffed calamari to lobster ravioli in a setting that is comfortable and not the least bit pretentious.

Quite a nice find this place is.Came on a recommendation.Wasn't disappointed.The place was busy.The service was warm.The food was excellent.Veal chop was the biggest lean chop I ever ate.accompanied by a marsala mushroom sauce.My friend had sicilian chicken. A loded plate of chicken.Accompanied with hot peppers mushrooms white wine sauce.He loved it.pasta accompanied the meal.Stuffed artichoke was our app. and a traditional cured meat and cheese antipasto over greens.as our salad.Delicious.Satisfying portions. cant say that about many byob establishments.

On New Years Eve, one of the specials were announced several times by different waitstaff to different tables as Flounder and Shrimp Francaise with asparagus. Sounded good so I ordered it. The server coming from the kitchen with a platter asked "Who ordered the Flounder"? It was a huge let down when I tasted and discovered that it wasn't Flounder at all but Tilapia with two sprigs of asparagus and three medium sized shrimp. I asked the waitress if it was Tilapia and she looked the other way and kept walking. When I asked a chef who walked through the dining area if it were, in fact, Tilapia instead of Flounder, his reply was "Aww, did she tell you it was Flounder? Nawww, it's Tilapia".
They should have announced that the menu had changed or perhaps it was intentional cheap alternative to Flounder that they thought no one would pick up on. I was with a large party of friends so I didn't make a further issue of it. Since the chef blew me off without asking if I were satisfied with my meal, it sure fely like an "eeyaah" to me.
The place has clean, simple surroundings (if a little tight) but make sure what you order is actually what they've told you it was. After this, I wouldn't be surprised if the Veal Parm is actually Pork Cutlet Parm. I wouldn't go back and I won't recommend it to anyone.
