Let me just say, I want to go back again. Today. For lunch. The food was that well prepared and fresh. I get hungry just thinking about it.

Two friends and I met for lunch yesterday at Scalino’s on Seventh Avenue and 10th Street. I’d heard it was a great place from Diaper Diva and she did not lie. It is a great place.

Diaper Diva had the pasta, which she raved about. Since it was lunchtime we had lighter fare. And seafood at that. But it was fantastic. Here are the delicious entrees we tasted:

Grilled calamari with onions and red pepper

Grilled scallops over green salad and white beans

Another table was having swordfish, which looked fantastic, too. I believe our waiter was the owner and he was very friendly and helpful. He was the only one there so the service is leisurely. He said they’ll have a liquor license starting next week. Great news for all. The corner location is extremely pleasant with its lively view of Seventh Avenue street life, Red Hot II and the now  shuttered Tea Lounge. They even have dining al fresco on 10th Street.
