    Great vibe with friendly wait staff. The food is terrific. We both had the Puttenesca Pasta. The jazz playing in the back room is the only place to be. Love this place!

    We went here before and it was good. This time. Two of the 6 on our reservation got their entrees so long after the rest of us we were done eating. Food was just so so. Chalk it up to a holiday but def was not great

    Absolutely love this place! Amazing Italian food and their music nights are so much fun! We love the garlic knots and lasagne although everything we have tried is great as well as the service. We have added this restaurant to our weekly rotation.

    We dine here often food and service always consistently good. We took our daughter for first time she loved her penne al la vodka and she is very picky. They have music for an even more enjoyable experience. We will be back soon.

    Servers needed training. Food was average, nothing exceptional. Workers were folding napkins and talking loudly at the table next to us. Will not be returning.

    First time at Scarpino tonight as a party of four. We waited 5 minutes for our table which was exceptional as the restaurant was very busy. We were able to get cocktails at the bar as we waited. Great service from AJ and great recommendations from the menu. Wednesday was Bogo night our entire meal with drinks, an appetizer, garlic knots and four delicious pasta meals was under $100. All of our meals were fantastic. We will definitely be back’
