   Scarpino's is a very friendly place! Puttanesca sauce isn't on the menu any longer, but the chef was willing to make tow plates for us! The table next to us didn't understand that a wood fired pizza is darker and the wait staff was cordially doing back flips to accommodate them. We, on the other hand, thought their pizza look delicious and actually want pizza well done rather than doughy. So salute to Scarpino's for going above and beyond! We'll be back as the food is fantastic!

We’ll have the wood-fired pizza ready and crisp for your next visit. Can’t wait to welcome you back! Scarpino's Classic Italian

   The seafood was overcooked. Quality of the food did not match the price of the food.

   From Ohio Scarpino's is always our last night dinner before flying out. Was unaware of the ownership change. It's so breakfast/brunch looking now, but the food was just as powerful as always Soldier on!

   Tim from Ohio! We're so glad to be your parting dinner! So happy to hear our authentic Italian cuisine is "just as powerful!" We can't wait to welcome you back from OH! Best, Scarpino's Classic Italian

   Our group of 11 went to Scarpino's for my kid's pre-graduation dinner. Every single one of us loved our meals- the tableside alfredo bowl was a huge hit. Portions were plentiful and they even gave us a complimentary desert. Service was spot on from the moment we arrived. This is not a fine-dining experience, but that's not what we were looking for. We wanted a casual location where our family could enjoy good conversation over a delicious meal... and that's exactly what we got. This was our first time visiting, and we'll definitely be back. Thanks for helping to make this a special memory for us!

So glad everyone enjoyed the meal (especially that tableside alfredo!) and had a great experience. We can’t wait to welcome you all back again soon! Scarpino's Classic Italian

   We sat on the patio with some old timers band and all old people. It was very loud and the food was just mediocre.

    First time here, but experience was superb. Food and service was absolutely amazing and was not disappointed coming here to celebrate Mother's Day. We have decided next time we will return for appetizers and dessert since we were only able to experience drinks and entrées this time around. 10 out 10 though.

    Kimberly, thank you so much for spending Mother’s Day with us—we’re honored to be part of your celebration! We can’t wait to have you back for appetizers and dessert next time (you’re in for a treat 🍰). Scarpino's Classic Italian
