Scarantinos is a fine "old-school" Italian restaurant. From the minute I walked in, the hostess along with the owner and wait staff made me feel like a guest and not just a customer. They were all big smiles. As a starter, I was served fresh "local" bakery bread with real butter. Entrees are reasonably priced and come with soup and salad.

Their version of an Italian wedding soup was scratch made with a chicken base and included ground beef and fresh veggies. The mixed green salad with a creamy dressing was not exceptional. The Pesto fettuccine pasta was served Al Dente and piping hot, with a nice Alfredo sauce. I ordered one meatball and was not disappointed. Overall, I can heartily recommend this restaurant for repeat visits by locals along with travelers from nearby hotels.

Very boring pizzas. Not real Italian pizzas, but an American interpretation

Food was salty and not what I ordered. Veal with mozorella instead of gorgonzola. The lot was a 'flattened' ball of minced meat.
The tomato sauce, on the other hand, tasted very good.

Everything from the food to the service was great. Lasagna and the garlic toast tasted great. It was one of the best lasagnas I've had. Would highly recommend this place.

Ordered the veal Parmesan plate and it was my favorite thing on the menu. Spot on, delicious. The pasta is mediocre for me, maybe because their sauce was pretty heavy for my taste. I would go back to try the seafood pasta as it seemed pretty popular that night.

Scarantino's Italian Restaurant in Eagle Rock is a hidden gem that truly captures the essence of authentic Italian dining. From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and welcoming staff make you feel right at home.

The menu is a delightful mix of classic and contemporary dishes, all expertly prepared with fresh ingredients. The homemade pasta is a standout, perfectly al dente and paired with rich, flavorful sauces. Don’t miss the risotto—it's creamy and comforting, with just the right amount of seasoning.

The pizza is another highlight, featuring a thin, crispy crust topped with quality ingredients that deliver on taste. Each bite is a perfect balance of flavors. For dessert, the tiramisu is a must-try, light yet indulgent, with a perfect coffee kick.

Service is attentive without being intrusive, making for a relaxing dining experience. Whether you’re there for a special occasion or a casual meal, Scarabino’s delivers consistently high-quality food and a charming atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine in a cozy setting!

If you're looking for the best comfort food, family friendly, Italian restaurant, look no further. This is your place. They are the nicest people and the chicken piccata is to die for.

I haven't even finished eating yet, and I had to rate it. This is the best lasagna I've had in my life. Lasagna is one of my favorite foods ever. I've had hundreds. This is by far the best I've ever had. I almost walked right past this place. Don't make that mistake. Come in, and enjoy.

Very good attentive service. We all had three different meals. The red clam sauce is so good. No complaints, and we're from NY/NJ.
