Scoozi
General:
International, young crowd with the best sangria in Back Bay. Located on the corner of Newbury St. and Fairfield.
She Said:
I’ve been to this little restaurant a few times with a few different friends. The food is wonderful, the hostess’ are excellent and the atmosphere is always energetic. The best thing about Scoozi’s is their sangria. The added cut up fruit is one of my favorite parts and I’m always struggling to get the last of it! The inside is pretty small, only about 5 tables, but the outside patio is awesome. There is nothing better when the sun is shining than a pitcher of sangria, a salad and people watching with friends.
PROS: Sangria and pizza is great to share, outside patio, cheap and fun place!
CONS: inside seating is very small, always busy during lunch.

This place has a certain “je ne sais quoi” that reminds me of some spots from home…maybe it is because I al
ways hear people speaking Spanish, French or English with some other foreign accent. While some Bostonians might initially find the crowd distant and aloof, people are actually pretty friendly as they hang out and just try to have a good time. The menu is pretty straight-forward with treats for every taste; I recommend going for a panini, and the BBQ chicken pizza is a must. A pitcher of sangria seems to be the drink of choice, and for good reason: it’s phenomenal, fruity and powerful. This is definitely a spot I like to frequent and I recommend to anyone who is going down Newbury and wants to make a pit stop while enjoying a beautiful day in Boston.
PROS: Located in the middle of Newbury, prices are reasonable, and the staff is very friendly and attentive.
CONS: Wait time can be very long, no sangria by the glass.
