A little Italy away from Italy.

You walk in — and you're somewhere else.

"The perfect hidden gem that you hope to find. You walk in and are suddenly transported to the most delicious American-Italian paradise."

Step under our canopy of cascading green ivy, past the warm pendant lights and the checkerboard floor, and you'll understand why guests call Scarpino's their "little Italian place away from Italy." It's family-style, generous and unmistakably alive — the kind of room where the bread is complimentary, the portions are humongous, and the carbonara is, as one guest put it, perfecto.

From the table-side Cacio e Pepe finished right in front of you to the Chicken alla Vodka regulars beg you to order, every plate is classic Italian done with heart. We've earned 2,212 reviews and a 4.5★ rating the honest way — one fabulous dinner at a time.

We love Scarpino's! We've always had excellent meals there. They got us in last minute on New Year's Eve when our plans had to be canceled — and they were packed! We were shocked at the stellar service we received and the quality of the food that was absolutely amazing!!

Wow, the portions were humongous. The Fettuccine Carbonara was perfecto. The best plus was the amazing garlic knots, complimentary with the meal. Highly recommend if you're famished and want a filling dinner at a great price.

Rola got us 5-star customer service... our food was delicious to perfection, especially the Cacio e Pepe which she prepared right in front of us. My little favorite Italian place away from Italy. Can't stop bragging about that place.

Dinner was fabulous. Portions are very large. Their garlic knots are great. We had bruschetta and fried zucchini, a bottle of wine — a wonderful evening with another couple.

Scarpino's is the perfect hidden gem that you hope to find. You walk in and are suddenly transported to the most delicious American-Italian paradise. From the complimentary bread to the table-side creation of our entrées, this place knocks it out of the park. PLEASE do yourself a favor and get the Chicken alla Vodka — you will NOT regret it.
