Customer Reviews:
“Food was great. We ate spaghetti & meatballs and lasagna. Best meatballs I have had in Florida. Server was helpful and friendly.” – Thomas
“We loved the food as all four of us had a different entree. Excellent sauces. We had pizza envy as we saw others eating pizza that looked delicious. On our list to return to try pizza and pasta from the cheese wheel (Cacio e Pepe).” – Charles
“Scarpino’s Classic Italian is a great establishment that reminds you why family-run restaurants hold such a special place in our hearts. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated less like a customer and more like a long-lost relative returning home for Sunday dinner.
Their pasta is nothing short of exceptional – made with the kind of care and precision that comes from generations of perfecting recipes. Each bite tastes like it was crafted with pride in an Italian grandmother’s kitchen. The pizza, with its perfectly crispy crust and generous toppings, rivals anything you’d find in Naples.
What truly sets Scarpino’s apart, though, is the incredible warmth of the owners. They have that rare gift of making every guest feel like they’re the most important person in the room. You’ll often find them chatting with diners, sharing stories, or offering personalized recommendations with genuine enthusiasm.
This isn’t just another Italian restaurant – it’s a place where authentic cuisine meets heartfelt hospitality. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just craving exceptional Italian food, Scarpino’s Classic Italian delivers an experience that keeps you coming back for more.
Trust me, this is the kind of place you’ll find yourself recommending to friends, family and even strangers. A true 5-star establishment in every sense.” – Kyle
