   Wonderful restaurant - a local favorite as well. The food takes a while to come out of the kitchen during busier times - 45+ minutes - but they disclose that prior to seating and have a sign. Highly recommend! It was our first time here and we will definitely be back!

   My girl and I and a buddy were there last night 03/08/25, for the first time. Place was extremely busy and it took a few minutes to be seated but no worries. Our server Tom, was there within a minute to welcome us and get drink orders/water. He brought our waters within seconds and we then ordered the bruschetta. A basket of very tasty garlic knots were dropped off and our wine was delivered and orders taken. We received our bruschetta minutes later. It’s noted as a customer favorite on the menu and we know why. It’s was delicious and you get plenty! We were all very satisfied with our meals. She had chicken breast over angel hair pasta with capers and lemon butter sauce. My buddy had spaghetti bolognese and I had the lasagna. As I said, the meals were excellent and temperature was perfect. Tom was always readily available. Make sure you come hungry as the portions were huge. They have a large dessert selection including tiramisu and cannoli, but we were stuffed. They have a nice bar area and plenty of seating. The only negative issue was the noise level however, that won’t stop us from coming back! YUM!

(Apologies for the loudness on a very busy Saturday night!) We look forward to welcoming you back, and we hope you'll save room for dessert next time. :) Scarpino's Classic Italian

   Attentive waitress. Decent food. Reasonable prices. Too loud for my taste. Live music was good but just turned up a bit too much.

   Need to improve on food. Shrimp scampi came with mound of pasta. Couldn't taste the garlic etc. No flavor. Would go back and try another dish. Didn't have any veal dishes on menu?? Briana was a great server.

   First time here. Our reservation for 2 was at 6:15 on a Tues, so we were very surprised to see a line out the door when we arrived. The place was packed with people. Most tables had an average of 6 pp, wex were 1of 3 2 tops that we could see. The ambiance felt like a sports bar with no sports being shown, but with loud music being played on speakers at the top of the walls in the middle of the room. The only way you could tell it was music was from the bass pounding. I don't know if it was due to that, or the amount of elderly people, but it seemed as though everyone was yelling to hear the person next to them...no exaggeration. What we didn't know, was that Tues is $1 meatballs and that is why there were so many older people there. I'm not a fan of meatballs, so I ordered a pasta dish off the regular menu, as did my husband. It took about 45 minutes to get the food, which seemed excessive considering the amount of waitstaff that were running around, so it must've been a backup in the kitchen. We both had a few bites of our meals, which were fine but nothing special and boxed it up to go. Once outside, it felt as though we had just left a concert, as our ears were ringing from the noise. The host was nice, sat us immediately, the server was very nice, the food was decent, but the experience of eating out, was not good here.

   Hi Tami, thank you for dining with us on a very busy Tuesday $1 meatballs night. We're sorry that the ambience left something to be desired for you. We absolutely appreciate your valuable feedback and will definitely review it with our team. We do want you to know that Tuesdays are the busiest at our restaurant and if you're looking for a quieter experience, please consider joining us on another evening. We have live music on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays between 6-8 pm, too. We'd love the chance to speak with you further about your visit and our managing partner will be reaching out to you soon. Again, our thanks. Scarpino's Classic Italian
