This review is about a restaurant in Warnemünde.
Paulo Scutarro is a popular place at the beach in Warnemünde, next to the Neptun hotel. It´s a touristy place where both locals and holidaymakers go to eat in a relaxed atmosphere. Warnemünde is the favorite hangout place for people from the polo scene, for surfers and wave riders as well as walkers and those who love nature – people who like to enjoy life at the beach, the sun and the breeze. But also, people who just love to spend their time outdoors in a maritime environment.
Paulo Scutarro is a restaurant which has a stylish interior and great food. As you enter the place you are welcomed by a magnificent setting, a delightful marriage of a curved wooden ceiling, huge panorama windows and luxurious modern furniture. There is a gigantic wooden swirl beside the bar in the middle of the restaurant which is definitely eye-catching. Most visitors like to take a seat just behind the glass front in order to enjoy their meals with a view of the Baltic sea.
The menu offers creative Italian dishes and an excellent selection of wines which are pricy but worth sampling. The restaurant also does brunch on Sundays. There is a wide variety of mouth-watering starters. We always have a mixed appetizer plate of Italian specialties such as hard cheeses and goat’s cheese, cold cuts, marinated vegetables, ham, vitello tonnato, carpaccio and seafood such as shrimps. They are exquisite and our favorite starters. The main courses are based on seasonal highlights, though of course you can get a pizza with salami if that’s what you want. Thankfully the waiter, a charming middle-aged man, is always around and willing to exchange kind words with all his clients. He also provides advice and recommendations, which adds to the special ambience at this place.
It is strongly advisable to book in advance at this popular restaruant. In this way, you can also make sure you get a seat by the windows. If you want to go there by car, you can park in the garage of the Kurhaus which is in the same building.
Although it is pricey, the food is exquisite and we had an extremely pleasant dining experience. For this reason, I highly recommend going to Paulo Scutarro. The place makes you feel at home and like you’re on vacation at the same time, and the food is delicious too.
