In 1915, Boulder Creek was a fast growing community that offered exciting new opportunities for people near and far. Known for its redwood trees, Boulder Creek was the home of the first CaliforniaState Park, BigBasin. The area’s natural beauty attracted movie makers, redwood loggers and the entrepreneurs who could feed and lodge this influx of people.
Joe Locatelli opened the Italia Hotel on Big Basin Way and its rapid growth soon required expanding to include a large redwood dining hall to the lodging facility. In 1955, the Scopazzi family bought the business, added a bar and closed down the lodging segment. The current owners, Talal Janbay and Paul Violante, purchased Scopazzi’s in 1986.
Scopazzi’s dining room, were it a lady, would say her favorite color is red. In fact, its red table linens and redwood walls make it shimmer with that color. It’s a royal color for an ageless lady who still rules the area in dining excellence and hospitality.
Fine Italian dining has been the rule at Scopazzi’s for 100 years. People still come from far and near to enjoy this dining experience and to celebrate their families’ special events in the beautiful red dining room.
In 2015, Scopazzi’s owners are celebrating the restaurant’s 100-year anniversary by providing a special menu. During the period of October 7th through October 11th, all entrees are being offered for $19.15.
