Open mussels on a plate, with the meat visible inside the shells

Cozza di Scardovari PDO mussel

Our signature ingredient, with a thin shell and plenty of meat, and a delicate flavour that tells the story of the unique Po Delta waters. *Only in season and while stocks last.

Open oysters on ice with a lemon wedge

Po Delta Oysters

A meaty and fine speciality born where fresh and salt water meet, with delicate and mineral notes that win over the most demanding palates.

Scoglio 1953: Our Signature Dish

Since 1953, our most loved dish: spaghetti with selected seafood, mussels, clams, squid and king prawns, served straight in the cooking pan. A burst of sea flavours that captures the essence of the Po Delta.
