Scalia & Co. Craft Kitchen and Bar is an upscale-casual Italian restaurant in Monroe, New York, serving artisanal Italian cuisine. Run by brothers Vito, Peter, and Marco Scalia, the restaurant is known for its industrial-chic, Manhattan-inspired style and its dedication to handmade, fresh ingredients sourced from its nearby deli, The Best of Little Italy.

Signature dishes include the Sunday Meat “Gravy” (rigatoni with meatballs, sausage, and veal), the Bronx Bomber Pizza, house-made burrata, and Sicilian rice balls. The wood-fired oven is a focal point of their “craft” culinary approach, used to prepare signature pizzas and baked pasta dishes at high temperatures, achieving authentic texture and flavor. The interior features exposed brick and industrial details, creating a modern, urban vibe.

The two-story layout includes a stylish bar on the ground floor and additional seating upstairs, often reserved for private events like holiday parties. Guests can sit at the lively bar, relax in cozy booths, or enjoy high-top tables near the windows. An open kitchen allows diners to watch the chefs at work, emphasizing their focus on craft.

The atmosphere is lively and energetic, especially on “LIT Tuesdays” and during weekend brunch. Despite its sophisticated and cool setting—ideal for date nights and special occasions—the space remains warm and inviting, with friendly, professional service throughout.
