DINING REVIEW
Scampi Grill: Trattoria is hard to beat, inside or out
BY TINA RONDEAU Mimmo’s Ultimate Vongole.
Columnist
On a delightful Vero spring evening,
we dined on the patio of the Scampi Grill
for the first time since it moved into its
new home on 20th Street.
When the weather is right – neither too
chilly nor too steamy and humid – this
may be the best way to enjoy this vener-
able trattoria, as the tree-shrouded patio
has a very open feel and conversation
is much easier than in the main dining
area.
On this visit, I decided to start with the
calamari fra diavolo ($11.95) and my hus-
band somewhat skeptically ordered the
escargot special ($12.95).
This is a far cry from your classic

a carriage house above the two-car ga-
rage, further defining the living areas.
With a private bath and balcony, the
generous guest quarters enable visitors
to enjoy their stay without getting un-
derfoot. Replete with engineered oak
flooring and a kitchenette with granite
countertops and refrigerator, the space
will make guests feel pampered while
providing them with welcome privacy.
Within the confines of the court-
yard, a splash pool, summer kitchen
and gas fireplace create a spot to host
dinner parties in a private outdoor
setting, lounge over coffee or doze by
the pool in the afternoon.
Anderson used traditional British
West Indies architectural features to
complement the ocean and its en-
virons. Exposed rafter tails, smooth
white stucco, herringbone railings,
French doors, and numerous transom
topped doors and windows allowing
for optimal light all add to the carefree,
elegant air of this beachside home.
Across the courtyard, the double-
door entry opens to a spacious layout
with an uninterrupted view of the
ocean. The foyer sets the interior’s
welcoming tone, with detailed mill-
work and finishes that are carried
throughout the house, including tray
ceilings, cypress loggia ceilings and
poplar molding.
To the left, a quarter-turn wooden
staircase leads to the second floor, and
to the right a set of French doors lead to
an area that can function as a mother-
in-law suite with a private bath and
separate entry that leads to the court-
yard; or the suite can serve as a formal
living room, a library or an office.
